February Version Update

[Yoji_Fujito]

Good day, adventurers!
Fujito here.

It seems like just yesterday that I was offering my New Year's greetings, and now it's already time for the next version update.

As I mentioned in January, this is a fairly important update, so let's get right to it.

■ Temporary shutdown of Limbus
In order to implement various improvements to the content, we will need to temporarily shut down Limbus from the February 2025 update until the work is finished. The reasons for this are as follows:

- The large amount of data must first be divided up and then implemented into the production environment.
- The current version can't be maintained while we are also creating and testing the new content.
- It is estimated that developing and debugging the content will take several months.

We are planning to come up with another way to obtain the ancient beastcoins and equipment upgrade materials that are usually acquired via Limbus. Also, those of you that are mid-way through your equipment upgrades don't need to worry about rushing through Limbus before it shuts down. Furthermore, once the revisions are complete, you will no longer need ancient beastcoins or items to take on Limbus.

We are doing our best to make Limbus even more enjoyable once the updates have been implemented. I hope you're looking forward to these new improvements! We also want to thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work on creating the content.

■ Besieged
At long last, the level will be raised for the benefit of players who are at Level 99 or above. We're also planning to add Level 10 (approximate content level of 104) to the beastman cap as well.

Also, in regards to the morale gauge I mentioned before, we're hard at work getting it ready for a future update. We plan to continue making various updates to the content, so please keep an eye out for more details to come!

■ Cardians for the Macro Test
In response to requests we've seen in the forums and other venues, we're looking to add targets as a Macro Test feature through the assistance of the Manustery in Windurst.



You can find this Macro Test in Batallia Downs, Rolanberry Fields, and Sauromugue Champaign.

The Cardians are designed to be especially sturdy, so they won't break under the force of your attacks. That makes this the perfect way to check out your equipment and also perfect the timing for your magic and weapon skills.

■ Ambuscade
Volume 1 features Ramuh, while your opponents for Volume 2 will be demons.

Although this is a battle against Ramuh, you will also be facing its summoner as part of the fight. Note that if you defeat the summoner before its avatar, it will significantly boost the damage that the avatar can inflict.
The demons in Volume 2 possess resistances to both petrification and sleep, so it's important to utilize more standard tactics in order to secure the victory. Whichever volume you're taking on, be sure to focus on the order you defeat the enemies so you can complete the challenge!
* The previous version of this description included an error, which has now been updated with the correct information. (Revised on 2025/02/06)

■ Vana'Bout - Round 4
Numerous adventurers across the game's Worlds have participated in this exciting content, and we've been pleasantly surprised by the positive reception and feedback that it has received. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank you for your support.

The first Vana'Bout of 2025 is scheduled to drop in mid-February. In order to make the content even more enjoyable for you, we've made some adjustments to the Records of Eminence objective and also included a campaign in with the overall rewards that many of you were asking for. We think you'll really enjoy this update and hope to see all of you participate!

Safe journeys!
