August 26 Update

The massive August 26 update brought a wave of fresh systems and balance adjustments. The standout addition is the 'scheduler', which unlocks once you hit level 60. You can use this handy feature to automatically navigate and progress through quests per content type. Just keep in mind that while the scheduler is running, you cannot do anything else except chat. It starts with a tutorial upon your first entry, so we strongly suggest giving it a proper read.

Aside from that, the developers implemented several improvements, including 'adding an alliance location saving feature', 'separating the Frosty Cliff region', and 'adding and improving the Tree of Giants hunting ground'. The biggest shift, however, has to be the combat balance changes. Certain skills for the 'Warrior - Dual Swordsman - Archer - Priest - Dangguri - Stormbringer' classes received expanded target areas and boosted coefficients. Moreover, responding to plenty of player feedback, they introduced 'Siege Warfare improvements' and a 'boss reset grace system'. There is a ridiculous amount of content here, so check out the official forum update board for the full lowdown.

August Update Quiz

With such a hefty update, it is probably wise to chew over the details a bit, right? To that end, Arthdal Chronicles has kicked off a quiz event. Head over to the 'Ongoing Events' board on the official forum and try your hand at the quiz based on the August 26 update. They will randomly select 200 players who get all the answers right and hand out '2x Silver Coin Boxes (1 Million) - 2x Spirit 11x Awakening Summon Vouchers - 2x Normal Rift Dungeon Points'. The event wraps up on September 13 at 23:59, so now is the bloody time to visit the official forum and lock in your answers.

Let Us Know! Issue Q&A

Q. How do I lift the purchase limit on healing potions?
A. Make sure you do not have any lower-tier potions left over.

Arthdal Chronicles imposes a strict limit on how many potions you can carry, which scales up depending on your 'mount' tier. However, the potion count lumps together every single tier from basic supplies to extra-large ones. Consequently, you can end up in a frustrating situation where you cannot buy many high-tier potions simply because your inventory is clogged with basic ones. New players often miss this and flood the boards asking, 'How do I increase the limit?' If you find yourself in this mess, check your healing potion stock and clear out all the lower-tier stuff.

Q. Can I skip tiers when promoting skills?
A. Promotions must follow a strict, predetermined order.

Skills in Arthdal Chronicles can be enhanced and then promoted to higher tiers. Doing so requires skill books, which you can acquire as core rewards from various Arthdal Chronicles content. The progression goes from 'Normal - Rare - Hero - Legend', or 'Advanced - Rare - Hero - Legend'.

Naturally, a player popped up on the forums asking, 'Can you skip steps during skill promotion?' It is a fair question to ponder if you somehow managed to score a high-tier skill book early. Well, to give you the verdict straight away: absolutely not. Let us use 'Triple Shot' from the image above as an example. Triple Shot exists in 'Normal - Rare - Hero - Legend' grades. When promoting from the Normal grade here, you cannot just vault over Rare straight into a Hero skill. At the same time, you cannot learn a Hero skill directly just by owning a Hero skill book without having learned the prerequisite skills. So, if you get your hands on a high-tier skill book, you had better start prepping for those intermediate steps post-haste.

Weekly Improvement Board

Please wait just a bit longer for the synthesis failure history lookup

For 'Spirits - Mounts - Weapon Appearances - Dreamdols', you can perform a 'synthesis' by gathering items of the same tier and gambling for a higher one. Occasionally, using 'resynthesis vouchers' handed out via events lets you take another crack at it during a specified period. The catch is that there is no way to check your past failure history yet, meaning you are entirely reliant on your own memory until a resynthesis voucher lands in your lap.

The Arthdal Chronicles team acknowledged the need to improve this feature, though they noted that actually implementing it in-game is taking a fair bit of time. Since the tracking periods vary depending on each restoration voucher, extra data sorting and development are apparently required to display everything accurately. This feature is firmly on the improvement list and still in development, so let us just exercise a bit more patience.
