[12/24] JP Update

[SupremeTentacle]

New bosses!

Demon Rock Gargoyle


Hail Tiamat


Same entrance method as all other recently released bosses.

Rock gargoyle is relatively low level so more players can enjoy the gargoyle hunting experience that was previously reserved for higher level players.

In Hail Tiamat's dungeon, monster damage is calculated based off max hp. Furthermore, due to weps made specificially for this weapon, all players can enjoy it regardless of level. (Note: This is actually a lie because lower level players can heal themselves for a larger percentage of their hp, so players with a larger max hp pool tend to have more trouble than players who have a smaller max hp pool.)

New equips can be synthesized from items that drop from these bosses.

There's now a way to move between cities using a newly introduced item.

The function to kick a player has been added to chatgroups. (You can only kick people lower ranked than you)

Christmas event item drop rate has been raised.

Partners now have added voices.

More minor system improvements and bug fixes. That should be all significant things though.

P.S. Please congratulate Ryxa for giving birth to a stillborn baby.

Still no news on fighting ability buff update. Can't wait to have them fight with better skill ranks and ougis. plus dodge-block abilities *dreams of crazed Momotarou as a partner* #.#

P.S. merry Christmas all. :3

Some partners already have ougi access, as well as access to higher ranked skills as far as I can recall. The issue is that, regardless of such, they have trash for damage.

For example, it can be noted that bringing out Shizuka will result in an occasional enemy being slowed due to her use of Ougi - Restriction

...There's now a way to move between cities using a newly introduced item...

Some towns now have multiple rift crystal fragments (mini rift crystal things) that you can use to move between the town or back to the temporal rift. The crystal fragment item introduced in the last update that you can buy from Miroku allows the same too.
The days of running back and forth in Seki are over... or soon to be for EN hopefully.

How used is temporal rift nowadays then? It seems like it's become rather obsolete.

Hmm.. Sorry if I misunderstood your question (or didn't proof read my post) but the temporal rift is used the same. Some towns have the new rift crystal fragments which all allow a player to teleport to the temporal rift or to other crystal fragments in that town. For example, Kyoto has 12 crystals now, the original one at the bottom of the spire and 11 new little ones. One of them is at the top of the spire so a player can now teleport from the bottom of the spire to the top. But to move to a different town, a player still needs to run through the temporal rift. Chifuri also takes you to another region of the temporal rift where you can fight the gargoyles and hail tiamat. I don't think the rift is really obsolete but it's not as "lively" as in EN lol...

Same entrance method as all other recently released bosses.

Where, how, and what do I enter to get to any of these bosses?

You talk to Chifuri in the temporal rift, choose to go to the rift's alternate region and talk to her again there.
But if you're playing EN, you'll just have to wait. (This is a thread for yesterday's update in JP that SupremeTentacle makes as a teaser for EN players.. I think.. lol)

It was actually my misunderstanding - I had thought that between towns meant we could do so without accessing the rift. Had I read the actual jp patch notes in more detail instead of skimming, I believe I would have known this for myself as well. (There was an image I skipped that had something to do with it haha...)

Tbh, not really sure why I bother covering the patch notes. It's just become a habit after I did it the first few times. I unfortunately don't have much of an attachment to this game anymore, and I only log in to collect soul eggs from bargains, and nothing more...

You could say covering the patch notes, and giving myself something to be excited about is the only thing preventing me from fully quitting.
