Announcing the August Version Update

Greetings once more, adventurers. Matsui here with a rundown on the next version update, which is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, August 3.

As you have come to expect, Ambuscade will be getting new foes to tackle and rewards to obtain, so make sure to spend your hallmarks and badges of gallantry before the update launches.

Another major addition is the continuation of the Ygnas Directive questline, which made its first appearance in June. This latest installment features the incorrigible Roskin, whose thirst for knowledge and women remains unquenchable.

Adjustments will also be made to both high-level monsters' evasion rates and damage taken by monster area-of-effect attacks.

Other changes include various job-related adjustment, addition of mount compatibility to several areas, alter ego adjustments, and the addition of detailed help text to yet more food and drink items.

A more detailed list of items to be implemented may be found below. As always, some of these items may be delayed due to ongoing testing.
