Patch Notes - July 16, 2026

July 16, 2026 · L2EVA

World

  1. Day and Night Now Run on a Fixed Schedule. The in-game clock no longer resets when the server restarts. Night now falls at the same real times every day: 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 20:00 server time (UTC), and lasts one hour.

  2. Plan Around the Night. Night is when it happens: champion monsters appear more often and the Catacombs pay bonus experience. With a fixed schedule you can finally plan your hunts and parties around exact night hours.

  3. Devil's Isle. Day and night monster sets now switch exactly with the game clock, including right after a server restart.

Raids & PvP

  1. Hidden Allies No Longer Freeze. A long-standing bug: when a party or command channel member used Hide, their allies saw them frozen in place until Hide wore off. You now see hidden teammates move and act normally. Enemies still cannot see them.

  2. Honor Grounds Anonymity. Party join, leave, and loot messages inside Honor Grounds now show "Combatant" instead of real character names, matching the anonymous nameplates.

  3. /assist Removed. The /assist command has been disabled to keep large-scale PvP from collapsing into single-target assist trains. Party window assist and /target are unchanged.

Classes & Skills

  1. Stats No Longer Jump on Equip. Equipping or unequipping any item could make M.Atk swing wildly and stay wrong until relog. Buffs that scale with your gear score (such as Dagger and Rose) now always keep their correct rank through equipment changes.

  2. Full Twist. The shortcut bar and skill window now show the actual Full Twist rank you will cast, and it updates live as your gear score changes. No more guessing from a plain Twist icon.

  3. Return Motion. The second dash now works: cast Return Motion, then press the button again during the short window to fire the follow-up retreat. The cooldown shown afterward is correct whether you use the second dash or not.

  4. Blade Assault. Was usable with Challenger at rank 1. It now requires Challenger rank 2, as its description says.

  5. Transcendent Relentless Attack. The skill now correctly deals area damage inside the Transcendence zone, hitting enemies around you.

World Exchange

  1. Fewer False Cancels. The anti-fraud system was cancelling some legitimate purchases. It has been retuned: honest trades now settle normally, and real fraud is still caught. Cancelled trades were always refunded on both sides, so nobody lost items or adena.

  2. Whole-Listing Purchases. Buying part of a listing was never supported and failed with a confusing error. The buy window now works with the full listing amount from the start.

Quality of Life

  1. Eva's Blessing Button. The blessing flower could disappear from your screen (for example after a cutscene) and only come back after a relog. It now reappears on its own.

  2. Eva's Window. On slower computers, Eva's avatar could briefly appear undressed while her outfit loaded. Her model now stays loaded, outfit changes apply instantly, and switching characters always shows the right look.

  3. Detailed Stats Window. The critical rate rows are back to showing your bonus values, as they did before the July 13 update.
