Patch Notes: CLASS BALANCE — v1.6.28

Echoes of Creation: Origin · published 6 Jul 2026, 11:16 UTC

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Ranger
- Ranger damage has been reduced as part of a class balance pass (this took effect July 4).
- New Hunter's Perks: Rangers now carry 20% more weight (Pack Mule) and find gem shards 20% more often (Shard Hunter). Full gems remain as rare as everyone else's.
- Combat Power calculation has been adjusted — Ranger CP will recover most of the drop from the balance change at your next login.
- All accounts with a Ranger were mailed 2 Respec Scrolls as compensation. If you haven't claimed yours, check your mailbox.

Swordsman
- New: Shield Block. While a shield is equipped, Swordsmen have a 15% chance to block a landed hit, halving its damage. A BLOCK popup shows when it procs, and your BLK chance appears in the HUD and Character panel.
- Blocking has a cost: total Dodge is reduced by 20% while a shield is equipped.
- Block contributes to Combat Power.

Cleric
- Divine Judgment damage reduced from 800% to 700%.
- New: Blessed Vitality. Clerics now have +10% max HP and a 25% chance to resist an incoming critical hit (it lands as a normal hit instead).

NEW: ONYX GEM
- A new socketable gem, the Onyx, now drops from monsters (shards can be combined 3-to-1 as usual).
- Onyx is special: it only fits shields and gloves. In a shield it raises your Block chance (up to a 50% cap). In gloves it grants Block Pierce, reducing your target's chance to block you.
- Shielded elite monsters now block 15% of landed hits for half damage — bring Block Pierce to cut through them.

ITEMS
- New XL Health and Mana Potions restore 1,000 HP and 500 MP. Mira and the general goods vendor stock them from level 31, and the potion icons have a fresh look.

MARKETPLACE
- Void-Husk trophies dropped by the Corrupted monsters (Swordsman, Ranger, Cleric, Assassin) can now be sold on the Marketplace, priced 10–20 Lumina each.
- Listings can now be filtered by 5, 6, or 7+ sockets (the filter previously stopped at 4+).
- The sale tax no longer charges a minimum 1 Lumina on cheap sales — items sold for under 20 Lumina now keep their full price.

PARTY & SOCIAL
- Any party member can now invite others — you no longer have to be the party leader to send an invite.
- You can copy a player's name from their info card, and player and guild cards now show who's online and where they are.

INTERFACE
- New Combat Effects toggle in Options ▸ Video lets you switch combat visual effects on or off for smoother performance.
- The combat-stats panel can now be dragged wherever you like.
- Added a Monsterpedia entry for the Awakened Forgotten One.
- All menus and content are now fully translated across all 10 supported languages.

FIXES
- Fixed monsters from your previous map appearing frozen in Eloria Village (and other zones) after teleporting.
- Boss fights no longer freeze or stutter from combat effects reloading on every hit (this mainly affected the Forgotten One and Primordius fights).
- The Awakened Forgotten One now respawns exactly when its countdown reaches zero, instead of 0-30 seconds delay
- Completing the raid against the Awakened Forgotten One now finishes the Chapter 6 quest "The Forgotten One" for everyone who took part, including party members.
- Combining gem shards now keeps your shard bag total correct.
