Item-related

(1:09:12～)

New synthesis recipes have been added which include new item level 119 gear. Please check these out as part of your new gear options.

Additionally, synthesis will now offer a chance to skill up even when your current synthesis skill level exceeds the recipe’s skill level.

The difficulty for synthesis has been eased, so we would like players who never tried synthesis to use this opportunity to try it out.

*The video introduces in-game footage of a new feature to display AoE indicators.

We have introduced a new feature to visually display AoEs. Enabling this feature will provide a visual indicator of the AoE for various actions.

Currently, this feature only displays actions with circular areas of effect.
There are currently no plans for fan-shaped AoE indicators.
