On August 16, Sol: enchant rolled out a fresh update featuring guild raids, class balance tweaks, legendary equipment stat buffs, armor research implementation, new item releases, existing content improvements, and various bug fixes.

The absolute highlight of this update is, without a doubt, the addition of guild raids. Guild raids are group activities where every guild member pools their efforts to take down bosses and reap rewards. By using a consumable item called 'Guild Raid Teleport Stone (Phoenix) (Imprinted)' in the guild hideout, a guild raid entrance spawns for 20 minutes. Members can interact with this object to step right into the guild raid.

The clock starts ticking the exact moment the first character steps into the guild dungeon. If the guild takes down the guild raid boss 'Phoenix's Avatar' within the 20-minute limit, rewards are secured. Once time runs out or upon returning, players are sent back to the guild hideout. The 'Guild Raid Teleport Stone (Phoenix) (Imprinted)' required for summoning can be purchased by guild masters or vice-masters level 45 or higher from the guild shop NPC once a week for 3 million Nine. Note that a guild level of 8 is required, and the item vanishes 2 hours after purchase, so watch out.

All guild members who throw attacks at the guild raid boss walk away with 'Equipment Enhancement Scroll (Imprinted)' and 'Subjugation Token'. Plus, depending on fixed drop rates, major rewards like the legendary-tier Natael's Headpiece, epic-tier Luciana's Armor, Relion's Robe, and Ancient Magic Earrings can drop, with acquisition priority given based on damage contribution. Even if a player attacks the boss, if they are outside the reward acquisition range when the boss bites the dust, no rewards will be handed out.

Next up, let's dive into the class balance adjustments. The classes getting some love this time are the Knight and the Mage, with the vast majority of their skills receiving buffs. First off, the Knight sees the max HP increase for Guardian Body I and II bumped up by 5% each, while the max stun duration for Dash Shock I and II and Shield Stun has been extended. As for the Mage, Guardian Focus I and II get a +1 bump in magic amplification, and Arcane Thunder now drains 5 MP less. This should give the combat performance of both classes a rather solid push.

The content update doesn't stop there, mate. Brand new events designed to turbocharge character growth are also kicking off. The lineup features the 'Lucky Altar Event', where players offer lucky coins to the lucky altar to try their luck at winning desired rewards, and the 'Sky Island Blessing Nine Acquisition Rate UP!! Event', which doubles the Nine acquired while hunting in the world battlefield content Sky Island. Check out the detailed patch notes over on the Sol: enchant official website.
