Eva's Bounty Loot

1. Command Channel Loot. From Tier 3 up, the valuable individual drops (talisman and accessory packs, spellbooks, Blessed and Improved scrolls, doll coupons, the boss's own items) go only to players who fought in a command channel for at least 60 seconds and at least half of their fight time. Everyone who fought still gets the paycheck and the open list. Tier 1 and 2 stay solo hunts.

2. Tier 1 and 2 Rewards Rebuilt. Every Tier 1 and 2 boss now rolls the same base list for each participant: a Daily Enchant Scroll Pack every kill, Einhasad's Pendant Lv. 1 and Selected Jewel Coupons at 50%, an Agathion Coupon, spellbooks, the +4 ~ +6 talisman and accessory packs, Blessed and Improved scrolls, at double the chance on Tier 2. Each boss keeps its signature items. Everything is sealed. Plain enchant scrolls, the Fortune Time Box and the Rare Doll coupon no longer drop on these tiers.

3. Tier 3 to 5 Command Channel Rewards. The +4 ~ +6 packs at 6%, 8% and 10% per tier, Enhanced, Superior and Rare Spellbooks at 24%, 15% and 9%, Blessed Scroll: Enchant Armor at 10% to 15%, Improved Scroll: Enchant Weapon at 2.4% to 5%, a Rare Doll coupon at 3% to 6%. All sealed.

4. Raid Loot Tables Retuned. Rebuilt boss by boss. Aztacan's Oracle Scepter, Aztacan's Earring, Gorde's Flame Spear and the Heroic Doll Summon Coupon - Aztacan are new priced lots. The bid window is 5 minutes.

5. Frintezza's Auction. It opened during Scarlet's death scene and disappeared until relog. It now opens after the scene.

6. Doll Packages Bound. The Ferion, Kelbim and Andreas Heroic Doll coupon packages could be traded before opening. Fixed.

7. Bounty Fight Monsters Resist Debuffs. Wave minions, gate keepers and totems now resist debuffs like the boss does.

8. "Protection Has Faded" Spam. Fixed.

9. Bounty Missions. Hermit Beoro and the Tier 5 bosses now count for the missions.

10. Tier 3 and 4 Bosses Hit Harder. Their damage skills ignore half of your defense, like Tier 5.

New Bosses

1. Andreas van Halter, Tier 5. During Pagan Temple's week she spawns on Fridays at 22:00 for 3 hours, PvP on. From 80% she binds the raid and nukes the bound a few seconds later: cleanse or stand off. Purify, Mass Purify and Cleanse cure the bind. Her Acolytes stun and fear.

2. Aztacan, Tier 3. He sits frozen behind four Gate Keepers and four Defensive Totems: kill a keeper, then its totem; all four totems down and he wakes. Every 6 hours, 90 minutes, own teleports.

3. Gorde and Immortal Gorde, Tier 3. One slot in Gorde Canyon that rolls Gorde (70%) or the stronger Immortal Gorde (30%, richer loot) on each spawn. Every 6 hours, 90 minutes, own teleports.

Zones

1. Pagan Temple Opens Monday. First Pagan Temple week on the rotation with Kelbim's Fortress and Celestial Tower. The Chapel pays more, the Friday enhanced monsters come to every room at 18:00, and Andreas comes at 22:00.

2. Ironheart Fortress Rebuilt. Now a normal timed zone: Lv. 90+, 7 hours a week, extendable to 150 with Time Stones, open every day. Official stats and drops. Golem hits charge you (P./M. Atk. up, P./M. Def. down), and a golem kill can call a squad of dwarves.

3. Aztacan's Temple Rebuilt. Every monster at official stats and drops, the Lv. 91 Tantar on the west side, and the weekly mission counts them. 7 hours a week, extendable to 150.

4. Gorde Canyon Rebuilt. Every monster at official stats and drops. Morgos' Canyon Hunter roams the paths.

Epic Bosses

1. Orfen, Core, Zaken, Queen Ant and Baium Reworked. Orfen no longer pulls and paralyzes the whole raid for 2 minutes; Core's stun is 3 seconds instead of 5; Zaken, Queen Ant and Baium got their real skills. All of them hit for real now, and their debuffs cannot be resisted.

   Classes and Combat

2. Eva's Balance Now Cuts Too. Eva's Balance can now reduce a class instead of boosting it. Samurai gets -25% PvP attack and -25% PvP defense. PvE is untouched.

3. Received-Damage Bonuses Were Backwards. Pattern CON and Pattern MEN ranks 16-30, the Unsealed Collection Book, Antharas Doll I and II, Hunter's Mark and eight relic skills made you take more damage instead of less. Corrected.

4. Augment Options Fixed. The "M. Damage Resistance" augment options did nothing; they reduce magic damage now. 34 more options were on the wrong stat and are fixed.

5. Tactical Signs Stay Put. Party signs survive death, town and range, and marking works on the first click.

6. A/B Set Swap. A swap no longer leaves a slot empty, and mages keep their spiritshots after it.

7. Party Window Clones. The same member could appear two or three times in the party window. Fixed. Changing the loot rule no longer wipes combat power from the window.

8. Dye Potentials. Enchanting past step 20 works, opening a slot updates your bonus on the spot, and Anomaly Attack Rate applies to every debuff and shows in the stats window.

9. Phantom Mask Ghost Knights. The mask's enchant decides the rank (+7 Soldier, +8 Fighter, +9 Berserker, +10 Commander) and the killed monster's level decides the tier.

10. PvP Weekly Prestige. The #1 of the PvP ranking receives the Dragon Cloak - Valakas skin for 7 days.

11. Olympiad Dead Players. A competitor who died in a team match was kicked for inactivity with zero points. Fixed.

12. Boss Crowd Control in PvP. Boss and monster crowd control now respects the 8-second immunity window after a CC.

13. Honor Grounds Champion Mission. It was always one match behind Veteran. Fixed, and the missing match was added.

14. Four Sepulchers. Two players clicking the chests together could spawn two bosses. One now.

Clans

1. Clan Vault. Clan donations are adena-only (100k, 250k, 500k) and half of every donation lands in the clan warehouse as the Clan Vault, shown in the clan window. Every Monday each castle's tax income is swept into its owner's vault. The clan leader pays members from it at the warehouse keeper, up to 100 million per member per week, after 7 days in the clan. Player deposits into the clan warehouse and chamberlain deposits into the castle treasury are closed.

Items and Skins

1. Weapon Skin Families. One ornament stone unlocks the skin for every weapon type in its family, an enchant lifts the whole family, and the skin follows the weapon you wield. Existing owners were lifted.

2. Eva's Mirror Scroll. Skins on the last row of a category could not be reached, in the Mirror and in the Whisper costume list. Fixed.

3. Enchanted Packages. 135 more "+N" packages handed out +0 items. They give the enchant now.

4. +5 Armor Packages. Thirty of them paid out two pieces per open. One now.

5. Tooltips. Glorious Circlet is +90% Fatal Critical Strike, not +30%. The Secret Shop ticket shows the real hours.

6. Eva's Avatar. Eva's statue in towns is now Eva herself.

   Interface

7. Event Timeline. A strip under the minimap shows the next 6 hours of events: Honor Grounds, Olympiad, sieges, Bounty windows and bosses, the Secret Shop and the resets. Hover for details, collapse to a "next event" pill. The minimap's day and night icon now follows the server's real night. Arrives with tonight's client patch.

8. HUDs and Cinematics. HUDs hide during boss cinematics and come back afterwards.

Server

1. Big Fights Run Smoother. The network layer was rebuilt and tested with 500 players at one boss. Expect smoother fights and fewer disconnects.

2. Regional Lockouts. Players connecting through a regional entry point could be locked out of login for an hour by other players' connection errors. Fixed.

3. New PC Login. Logging in from a new PC could fail with "not validated" until the next PLAY. Fixed.

Launcher (2.3.10 to 2.4.0)

1. NVIDIA Fullscreen Fixed. Monitor blanking on alt-tab, HDR flipping and a dead alt-tab on NVIDIA are gone, and G-Sync works.

2. DLSS 5 Costs Less. Much lower GPU load with no visible difference. Nameplates no longer lag the camera.

3. Launcher Polish. Consistent casing in all six languages, correct Greek capitals, Russian and Polish plurals, dates in your language, and clearer error messages.

Website

1. Balance Codes. Redeeming a balance code on play.l2eva.com was failing. Fixed.

2. l2eva.com on Mobile. Language switcher and social links added to the mobile home page.

Regions

1. RU2 Stable Again. Russian traffic filtering was cutting the St. Petersburg entry point for minutes at a time. Fixed. RU2 stays reachable from inside Russia only.

2. Zapret Users. Players connecting with Zapret could not log in. Fixed.
