Patch Notes

628 – 636

🛡️ Nightfall Gear

• Trade a Rebalanced Stat New — if the rebalance changed a stat on your Nightfall Cap or Boots, you can now trade it for a different one on that piece. Select the stat, press Swap, and pick what you want from the list. It costs nothing, and only the stats the patch changed can be traded.
• What You Keep — the trade carries your upgrade investment across rather than your stage number, so a cap stat keeps its exact level on every choice, Evade and Dodge keep theirs on each other, and a stat moving onto a costlier line starts wherever your upgrades had already reached.
• Free Oread Type Change — changing an Oread's type costs nothing for the testing period, so you can try a different type without paying the usual fee.
• Rift Monsters no longer apply HH effects.

🏆 Tournaments & Arena

• Tournament Renewal — the tournament system has been reworked, covering registration, brackets and match flow.
• Preparation Window — casting is held for the first 10 seconds of a round's preparation, so no one opens before the match does.
• Watch Control — the Watch option on the bracket now reads and behaves as a button.

⚔️ Battle Royal

• Starters, Loot and Spawns — starting gear, drops, spawn placement and the match HUD have all been reworked, including level 10 Oreads in the starter set.
• Scheduled From the Event Calendar — Battle Royal now follows the event calendar like the other scheduled events.

💎 Items

• Letter of Name Change — the Letter now shows a Use button and opens the rename window directly when used.

• Reconnecting After a Drop — fixed a hang that could leave a character stuck when reconnecting.
• Client Freezes — fixed a case where the client could lock up instead of recovering.
• Gacha After a Failed Roll — a failed roll could leave the Gacha unusable until relog. It now releases properly.
• Daily Quest Reset — daily quests now reset from a stored date rather than a midnight tick, so a reset is no longer missed if the server is not running at the moment it falls due.
• Chantra Pass Rollover — the pass now rolls over on the season's own day index, so the change lands when it should.
• Tournament Parties — parties are now built from the members actually sharing your match, so a tournament party can no longer pick up someone outside it.
• Consumables in Tournaments — buffs from cash consumables are restored after a tournament respawn, and restoring an in-use item is no longer blocked by the round's no-cast window.
• Bracket Cards Overlapping — brackets with byes at uneven depth no longer draw cards on top of each other.
• Apex Riders — the hidden-rider rule now follows the transmogged mount rather than the original one.
• Item Names — cleaned up stray characters that could appear in some item names.
