5s Hello, Heroes of Arkesia.
7s Here we are with episode three of Patch Notes with Henry.
10s We're going to dive into the Monster Bash update, which drops on October 11th.
17s This patch is a little smaller.
18s It still has some cool stuff in it, but it's a little shorter.
21s So we're actually going to be able to go through every change coming in the patch this time.
25s I'll talk through some of it here and then hop over to my computer and show you some of the stuff visually as well.
31s All right.
31s Let's get into it.
33s All right.
33s One of the biggest pieces of content arriving in this update is a new continent, which is Pleccia, has a new storyline.
40s You'll be able to dive into Armen's past, learn more about some of the Priests of Sacria, and just experience an entire new storyline in Lost Ark.
49s It's also an important one.
51s It's one that you're going to need to complete before Voldis, which arrives in a few months.
55s So it's a pretty important stop along your journey in Lost Ark.
60s You have to be item level 1475 to venture there and the story actually begins in Luterra.
65s So that's where you're going to pick up the quest to venture over.
68s There's a few important things and a few differences about this continent versus some of the other ones.
74s While the storyline is super important to Lost Ark and you'll need to complete it, like I mentioned, unfortunately, there's no Adventurer's Tome for this continent.
83s There are definitely fun collectibles to check out.
86s There's mokoko seeds, there's new exclusive collectibles just for Pleccia which I'll let you uncover when the update drops.
95s There's a new Wandering Merchant and there's new achievements, titles, new cards.
103s A bunch of new stuff will accompany it.
105s Just no Adventurers Tome this time around.
109s I'm going to go hop in game, show you where to pick up the quest, and we can check out a little bit more about Pleccia there.
115s So I'm not going to spoil the storyline for you here, but once you complete a few quests, talk to Thirain and a few of his friends in the castle.
122s You'll be ready to get on your way to the new continent and check it out for yourself.
126s All right, so the next big piece of content arriving in this update is the Trial Guardian raid for Caliligos.
135s Big Dragon.
136s Lots of lightning.
138s Pretty exciting boss.
139s The trial version is meant a little bit more for the hardcore raiders because there is a leaderboard for both the fastest clear time and also an exclusive title for the first clear in a region.
151s But anybody that's up for a challenge and wants to try out some equalized content is welcome to join in and try and get some of the other rewards.
159s The achievements, the title for clearing.
162s It's fun to just test yourself against the boss.
166s So some specifics for this one.
168s You need to be item level 1250 in order to challenge trial Caliligos.
175s You also need to set up a build in the Book of Coordination. You need to be item level 1250 in order to challenge trial Caliligos.
175s You also need to set up a build in the Book of Coordination.
179s As this is equalized content, you'll be on an equal playing field against the boss, so you'll need to create a whole build there similar to how you do for Inferno Legion Raids or other equalized content in that fashion.
193s So with the trial version of Caliligos showing the fastest clear times on the leaderboard and also that exclusive title that the first party that clears earns in each region, we know there's competition brewing, so we're actually going to open it up over the weekend so more players can participate in that race and be free, freed up for that slot.
214s So it's going to open on October 14th at 7 p.m.
218s UTC.
219s That is going to be noon Pacific Time or 9 p.m.
225s CEST.
226s So to recap: exclusive time that it's opening over the weekend, new titles, new achievements, you're going to need to use the Book of Coordination.
236s And because of that, we're actually adding two new runes to the Book of Coordination.
241s You're now going to be able to access a Legendary quick recharge rune and a legendary Gale Wind rune.
248s So that'll hopefully give you the edge you need to clear.
252s One important thing to note is this content, because it rewards that first clear, we want to make sure that the competition is fair.
262s There have been some recent incidences in Korea where some nefarious actions have been taken by players trying to receive that exclusive, first clear title.
273s So for players that are planning on participating, please know that we will be vetting and scrutinizing the accounts that clear first to make sure that there's no third party tools, hacks, anything like that that are being used because we really want to reward skill and competition here.
292s All right, let's cover the events.
294s Before we talk about the new stuff, I just want to give a quick heads up that the Blooming Mokoko event and our Arktoberfest event and also the daily log event are all going to come to an end with this update, but we do have some new cool stuff coming.
308s Primarily, we have Event Guardian Raids coming back.
313s I know a lot of you have probably played these in the past because we've had this event once or twice before.
318s But for new players, it's kind of a fun twist on Guardian Raids where you can hop in and fight two or three Guardians simultaneously.
327s You can meet conditions during the fight to give yourself access to some really big power boosts, whether that's countering destruction checks, a few other things.
337s But by the end of the raid, you should be in head hitting some pretty crazy damage numbers, which is always fun if you like chasing that like I do.
346s That's why I play Slayer and other classes that deal big damage amounts.
351s Anyway, those are common.
354s You can earn tokens from clearing those raids.
357s And then you can use those tokens for a new event shop. You can earn tokens from clearing those raids.
360s You can earn tokens from clearing those raids.
360s We'll have some cool stuff in there. You can earn tokens from clearing those raids.
361s All the classics, like honing materials and then some new, I think spooky and Halloween-themed events, too, for players that want some seasonal items. You can earn tokens from clearing those raids.
363s All the classics, like honing materials and then some new, I think spooky and Halloween-themed events, too, for players that want some seasonal items.
373s So that's the event Guardian Raid.
375s I'm not sure if this will make it in the video or not, but I'm going to hop in one right now.
379s We can check it out.
380s And this event's actually going to stick around all the way through October as well.
384s For players that don't want to face it every day, you can earn the tokens through other gameplay methods like normal Guardians or Chaos Dungeons as well.
394s I'm going to hop in to show you how it works really quick.
397s And yeah, let's fight some Guardians.
402s So throughout the flight you can meet special requirements and buy that earn power upgrades to hit some pretty crazy numbers.
413s There's usually one or two Guardians that you have to kill and one special Guardian that you're fighting as well.
421s That's going to give you the buffs when you defeat it.
427s I am looking at some of my skills right now and realizing this is not my normal setup, so we will see how this goes.
436s But please don't judge my tripods too heavily and let's see if we can get one of the big baddies to show up.
449s All right, here we go.
450s So this is the Special Guardian.
453s There's one of these in everyone that you fight.
456s And when you meet certain - it may be countering...
459s let's see...
461s Nope.
462s Surely something else.
465s When you meet special requirements against them, sometimes it's countering, sometimes it's destruction, sometimes it's stagger.
472s Looks like this one is probably stagger.
474s Luckily, I brought Whirlwind Grenades...
477s When you meet those special requirements, they'll drop these Ethers, and these Ethers give you huge power increases when you're fighting the rest of the Guardians.
487s So we're able to do some massive damage all of a sudden and wipe one out just like that.
499s So.
502s It looks like we're able to get the next round of ethers, get even more juiced up.
507s But there are several Guardians you have to wipe out, so let's go find the next one in the grouping.
516s Lumerus.
520s You become faster.
521s You can see how fast I'm running around.
522s That's not dev hacks - that's just the event for you. Just run and get blasted. Cool.
531s We got our Predator back.
536s Oh well, that was fast.
540s See, look at how powerful you become.
544s Please don't nerf Slayer.
547s You can head over and fight the final one.
549s Now that we've defeated the minions, we can fight the Dark Marauder or Helgaia itself.
555s Hopefully, as soon as the Predator comes back up, we'll be able to defeat it.
563s Oh, or just one-shot it.
566s That's how it goes.
567s That's Slayer for you, ladies and gentlemen.
569s And that's the event.
570s So once you defeat all three, don't leave without picking up your chest.
574s That's where you get your tokens from - right here.
580s And you've done it.
583s Congratulations.
585s So, yeah, once you get these tokens, you can go spend them at an event vendor and get some cool prizes.
593s Have fun.
594s And good luck.
595s We're also making an adjustment to the Shining Harvest event that's exclusive to jump start servers.
601s We're adding some new missions in for clearing Brelshaza and also new items for those players.
608s We're adding in these new gear quality upgrade tickets that are essentially a Stone of Chaos that let you upgrade your gear without needing to spend gold.
619s Since obviously gold's in really high demand on jump start servers.
622s You want to hone your gear, you want to buy stuff, and you haven't had as much time to stockpile gold.
628s We want to make sure that players are also able to upgrade the quality of their gear as well.
633s So because this is a new item, I want to show you how it works in-game. Let's hop in and I'll let you check it out really quickly.
641s All right.
641s So the next thing I wanted to show off is how the new gear upgrade items work.
647s There's two types.
648s There's the process Chaos Stones for weapons and process Chaos Stones for armor.
654s So these are going to be earnable in-game and what they do is allow you to upgrade your gear without spending gold.
663s So when you're interacting with the gear quality NPC, it's going to use these before it will use a chaos stone plus gold, which is the normal upgrade method.
673s So let's hit some quality taps, see how they work.
676s So when you chat with the - not the Gear Owning NPC, but the Quality Upgrade NPC, you're going to see that it's going to pull from these first before pulling from your stones of chaos.
690s And it's going to use these up in their place.
695s And yeah, it's, it's a good way for people to upgrade their armor on jump start, you know, get more health, get a little bit bigger damage bonuses.
706s And it works the same for your weapon as well.
710s Oh, that was a pretty good increase.
711s Let's see if I can get luckier on here than I can with my weapons in the real game.
717s Well, that might be it for now, but I think you get the point.
721s It's just a good way of getting some quick upgrades and powering up your characters for newer players.
728s And our goal is to bring these to the normal live servers for players in the future.
733s You know, it can't get too into specifics because we're still working on the exact plans.
737s But I think the Souleater and people gearing up a new character is probably a pretty safe bet for those wondering when they when they might show up.
747s Cool.
747s Yeah.
747s So that's how that works.
749s We know players on existing servers are also probably excited about this new item.
753s I know it.
754s It's kind of a recent development in Korea as well.
757s We are planning on bringing these to existing servers as well.
762s Spoiler alert, probably sometime around Souleater launch, TBD.
767s Let's find out together next month.
770s So stay tuned to that Patch Notes video.
772s But we wanted to make sure that players on jump start who are behind on gold, behind on Chaos Stones and that sort of thing, are still upgrading their gear, getting those damage and health boost as they start to fight Brelshaza and maybe even move in the Kayangel and other further raids as well.
789s All right let's rapid fire through some general updates coming in.
792s We've refreshed the monthly login reward track and hot time events.
797s We've added two new female and two new male hairstyles for character customization.
803s I'm going to show you those really quickly before we rapid fire to the rest.
806s Let's check them out.
807s So we have two new hairstyles coming in for both male and female classes.
812s Here are the new female ones.
814s You can find them down here at the bottom right.
817s Kind of a long, long hairstyle here and some bangs, too.
825s So new customization options.
827s And let's take a look at the ones for the guys.
830s All right.
830s So for the guys, we have one new male warrior preset for customization, which is this one right here.
838s It uses one of the new hairstyles.
840s And in addition to this new hairstyle, we have another one as well, which is this one, some more customization options for those looking to increase their fashion game or make some new presets.
853s Let's see.
853s I don't even - I don't know.
854s I might be able to pull this one off, but my hair might be a little too curly.
859s I don't know.
859s What do we think?
861s I think it's a vibe.
863s In addition to the hairstyles, we added one new preset for male warrior customization that uses one of those hairstyles.
871s Another cool upgrade is players start to progress through content faster: you can now upgrade your gear set effect directly from level one to level three if you power through clown.
883s So you can skip to, if you get your Empyrean of Contemplations from Kayangel, you can upgrade your set effect directly to level three.
895s So for people trying to power level their new characters, it should be a good quality-of-life change.
902s Another interesting tweak for the Thirain Affection Rapport that came out last month.
909s One of the emotes that you use in that quest wasn't in the game yet because it is a Pleccia-exclusive emote.
917s But now that Pleccia is releasing, we're changing that quest to require the Pleccia emote.
922s So for people that haven't done the Thirain Affection Rapport rank, you'll need to go to Pleccia in order to earn that emote.
930s And the final change: we added 15 new jukebox songs for players that love listening to the music of Lost Ark.
938s The other thing that I wanted to mention in general: we did announce earlier this month that the Chaos Gate revamp would be coming in October.
948s It still will be arriving in October, but it will be coming two weeks after the main update.
955s So we will have some Patch Notes later to cover that Chaos Gate revamp.
959s We know players are excited about that quality-of-life change because it combines Chaos Gates, Ghost Ship, Treasure Map content all into one thing to run so that you get more rewards for kind of less homework in the game.
973s So we're excited to bring that - it's still being worked on as I speak in Korea, but we want to bring it as soon as we can.
979s So it's coming in two weeks, but not in this update.
983s So you'll have something to look forward to later in the month as well.
986s The final thing I wanted to share: we do have some new skins coming.
989s They are celebrating the spooky season, Halloween season.
993s So let's check those out.
1025s All right.
