Masters of the Book, 

The May 9 update is here, and this update will see changes to Nightmare mode for Adventure Levels 7 and 8, as well as changes to Apostles. Find out what’s in store for the May 9th Update below!  

■ Improvements

 - For Adventure levels 7 and 8, Veda’s Nightmare will now guarantee a minimum number of 5★ Relics.  

   · For Adventure Level 7, a minimum of 1 general 5★ Relic will be guaranteed to drop. 

   · For Adventure Level 8, Veda’s Nightmare will guarantee 1 general 5★ Relic, and 1 elemental 5★ Relic, totaling  2 guaranteed 5★ Relics.

   · The maximum number of 5★ Relics obtainable remains unchanged, ensuring a minimum drop count to avoid cases where no Relics would drop. 

 - For Adventure levels 7 and 8, Sealed Prisons will now guarantee a minimum number of 5★ Necklaces or Rings. 

  · In Adventure Level 7, one 5★ Necklace or Ring that matches the attribute of the appearing boss will be guaranteed to drop.

   · In Adventure Level 8, one 5★ Necklace or Ring that matches the attribute of the appearing boss will be guaranteed to drop, along with the Adventure Level 7 guaranteed drop, resulting in two obtainable 5★ Necklaces or Rings.

   · The maximum number of 5★ Necklaces or Rings obtainable remains unchanged, ensuring a minimum drop count to avoid cases where no Relics would drop. 

 - On stages where the ‘Apostle’ type monster can appear, an improvement is being made so that if it does not appear in three consecutive runs, it will be guaranteed to appear in the next stage. 

   · The existing probability of an ‘Apostle’ appearing remains unchanged.

   · The appearance of an ‘Apostle’ is counted after clearing a stage and consuming shoes.

     · Due to this rule, when using Hero’s Shoes, the guaranteed appearance will occur at least twice. 

   · Regardless of this feature, When the ‘Apostle’ appears, the guaranteed appearance opportunity is consumed. 

   · This feature does not count when playing together. However, the number of non-appearances of the ‘Apostle’ is counted, and when the ‘Apostle’ appears, the guaranteed appearance opportunity is applied. 

     · Example: If the ‘Apostle’ does not appear in co-op more than 6 times, the opportunity for 2 appearances will be maintained, which will apply to a single player run. 

     · Even if there is one guaranteed appearance opportunity due to this rule, if the ‘Apostle’ appears when playing together, the guaranteed opportunity will be consumed. 

 - The Unique Stat that increases incrementally with each Fate level of a 5★ Knight of Veda will be changed. 

   · Unique Stat Example: Veleno: Poison DMG Bonus / Aurora: Light DMG Bonus. 

   · The stat at 0 Fate will be increased to 300% of its original Value, and Fate Level 6 will increase to 111%. 

 - The unique stats that increase incrementally with each refinement of  5★ weapons will be changed. 

   · Example of Unique Stats: Bow of Sacrifice: ATK SPD, DoT / Light-speed Bow: CRIT chance, ATK SPD

   · At 0 Refinement, the unique stats will be increased to 150% of its original stats, and Refinement level 6 will increase to 105% of its original stats. 

■ Bug Fixes

 - The issue where in the arena, the amount of Crowns of Victory obtained did not display correctly, will be fixed. 

 - The issue where the end date for the current Tower of Trials event displayed incorrectly from the scheduled end date will be fixed. 

 - Fixed an issue where the background music would not play in certain places.
