Use the contents to jump to a topic. Each section focuses on one part of the story.
The October 28, 2026 Global update makes several boss encounters more manageable, increases class base HP and introduces Hard mode for Urugugu Canyon and Vakron Sky Island. It also brings new rewards and a rotation of server opponents.
Changes announced by NC for the October 28 maintenance. Scheduled start: 07:30 CET, estimated end: 12:00 CET (Paris). This estimate does not confirm that servers have reopened.

- Once an Artifact Battle lasts 10 minutes or longer, the core receives Dissipation of Power, weakening it. Exact effects and values are not detailed.
October 28 server pairings
Abyss and Spacetime Rift opponents are assigned separately. Pairings can change in future rotations. In the Abyss, servers of the same faction can face each other.
European example: Siel faces Israphel in the Abyss, but is paired with Triniel for Rifts.
