Highlights
Kathana Pass System
Kathana Pass is a progression system that allows all players to earn rewards by completing tasks.
There is no level requirement to begin participating, although some tasks may require a specific level.
Kathana Pass resets monthly with new tasks and rewards.
Kathana Pass does not use a leveling or experience system to unlock rewards.
All tasks can be completed at any time during the season, with no daily limits or time-gated objectives.
Each completed task grants rewards immediately upon completion.
There are two reward categories: Free Tier and VIP Tier.
Rewards include a mixture of Premium Items and Prana Scrolls.
Players who unlock the VIP Tier can obtain Prana Scrolls that grant Prana based on their current level. Whether you are Level 10 or Amara 10, these scrolls will provide the same percentage of progress toward your current level.
Implemented New Items
Added Prana Scrolls, available exclusively through the Kathana Pass, with the exception of the Greater Prana Scroll.
Minor Prana Scroll — Grants 1% of the total Prana required for your current level.
Small Prana Scroll — Grants 2% of the total Prana required for your current level.
Prana Scroll — Grants 3% of the total Prana required for your current level.
Greater Prana Scroll — Grants 4% of the total Prana required for your current level.
Grand Prana Scroll — Grants 5% of the total Prana required for your current level.
Major Changes to the PvP System
New PvP Mechanics
Neutral players (white names) who attack players with Aggressor status (purple names) will now become Aggressors themselves.
If Neutral player does not retaliate and is subsequently killed, the attacker will become a Murderer (red name with Karma).
Players who assist Aggressors through healing or buffs will also receive Aggressor status.
The 10% item drop chance applies only to Murderers (red-name players).
From now on, players who assist an Aggressor will be considered accomplices. Regardless of whether the assistance comes from healing, buffing, or any other supportive action, helping an Aggressor will cause you to become an Aggressor as well.
PK and Combat Score System
Implemented a new PvP tracking system for Player Kills and Combat Kills.
Added two new statistics to the Character Status window: Murders and Combat Kills.
The Murders counter increases whenever a player kills a Neutral player.
The Combat Kills counter increases whenever a player defeats an Aggressor or Murderer.
This scoring system only applies in non-PvP designated areas, including Kruma, Anaka Kruma, Chaturanga, or Mudha Dungeon.
New Feature: Party Master Loot
Added a new Master Loot option to the Party Settings.
When a Party Leader enables Master Loot, all item drops collected by party members will be automatically transferred to the Party Leader.
If the Party Leader is outside the party loot range or is dead, the player who picks up the item will receive it instead.
Rupiah will continue to be distributed automatically among all eligible party members within party range.
Fixes & Improvements for Automatic Hunt
Fixed an issue where Automatic Hunt could become permanently stuck, remaining enabled while the character stopped attacking, moving, or searching for monsters.
The Automatic Hunt ON/OFF toggle now performs a complete system reset, clearing all internal states, including cooldown trackers and aggro data that could previously persist between activations.
Added an automatic recovery system for stalled Automatic Hunt sessions. If Automatic Hunt remains inactive for 30 seconds while enabled, it will automatically reset and resume operation without requiring a game restart.
Additional Notes
Restarting the game, deleting temporary files, clearing the Windows Prefetch folder, or rebooting your PC is no longer necessary, as these actions did not resolve the underlying issue.
If Automatic Hunt becomes unresponsive, it should now recover automatically within approximately 30 seconds.
If the issue persists after the automatic recovery period, please report it so our team can investigate further.
Two New Questlines Added
Added the new quest The Slumber of Shiva, the Sealed God, available to characters level 90 and above.
Added the new quest Kali, Goddess of Destruction and Carnage, available to characters level 92 and above.
Feature Changes
Added a new EBB announcement that notifies all players when a character with Karma drops an item upon death.
Event Chakra Reset and Event Skill Reset items can now be sold to NPC merchants for Rupiah.
Players with Murderer (Karma) status will no longer drop items marked as No Trade.
Tears of God, Crystal, and Dark Crystal can now only be transferred to other players through the Marketplace, or indirectly by using them to craft an item that is then traded. These items can still be obtained from all existing sources as before.
These items can no longer be traded.
These items can no longer be dropped.
These items can no longer be sold through Player Vendors.
These items cannot be stored in the Ashram Storage
The PK button is now visible in the Game Shortcut Menu even when the menu is collapsed.
