Today's patch was the biggest balance pass in the server's history, and it is only the opening move. Here is what the next weeks look like.
Today: The Skill Patch
Every class went through a full skill audit, two hunting zones were rebuilt from the ground up, and the September rewards are in. If you have not read the August 31 patch notes yet, do that first: there is a lot in there that touches your character directly.
Running Now: EXP Event
- 1.5x EXP from monster kills for everyone, until September 14
- Levels up to 91 get the catch-up bonus on top of it: 3x EXP total
If you have been waiting to push a character to the endgame, this is the window.
The Coming Weeks: Making Everything Right
The skill audit was half the job. Before Celestial Destiny arrives, our goal is simple: everything already on the server, fully audited and working exactly the way it should.
Next in line: items and augments get the same treatment the skills just got. Everything you own, checked against what its description promises: stats, augments and set effects, with corrections in both directions.
Alongside that:
- More map revamps, continuing the farming revamp that brought you Fairy-invaded Lands and Lands of Shadow
- System refinements and balance tuning across the board, guided by live data from the skill patch
Until Celestial Destiny lands, every development hour goes into fixing and polishing what already exists, so it arrives on a rock-solid foundation. New custom feature development resumes once it is live.
Mid-September: Celestial Destiny
The next official update, Celestial Destiny, is coming to CBT and Live. We expect it around mid-September, and we will announce the exact date one week ahead.
Everything custom you play with today follows into the update: Eva's Bounty, Eva's Mirror, Eva's Whisper and the rest all carry over.
Early October: Eva's Rise
A brand new catch-up server, Eva's Rise, opens in early October. The final date will be announced during the Celestial Destiny CBT.
Eva's Grace continues exactly as it is. Updates, development and support carry on unchanged, and you are free to play on both servers if you want.
What a catch-up server means:
- A fresh start for everyone. A new world where every character begins at zero, on equal footing.
- Boosted rates and faster progression, tuned so a character built on Eva's Rise can genuinely close the gap with the veterans of Eva's Grace.
- The destination is a merge. We will monitor progression after launch, and when the time is right, after some months, Eva's Rise merges into Eva's Grace. Nothing you build is thrown away: your progress comes with you into the main world. Full details on how the merge works will be published well before it happens.
A big patch behind us, a bigger one ahead, and a fresh start on the horizon. See you in game.
