Echostone System and Sidhe Finnachaid Dungeon Improvements

Ancient Music Box Area Added

• Upon meeting the conditions below, you can speak to NPC Enn at Lake Neagh and press the “Use the Ancient Music Box” button to be teleported directly to the Ancient Music Box in Sidhe Finnachaid.
  • Cumulative Level 20,000 or higher
  • Obtained at least one journal entry for Sidhe Finnachaid (Curiosity/Fear/Sorrow) on Advanced difficulty

• In the Ancient Music Box area, you can click the “Return to Enn” button at the bottom of the Echostone Advancement/Awaken/Fragment UI to exit the area and return to Enn.

Echostone Advancement

The existing upgrade function has been changed: You can now upgrade Echostones by consuming a certain amount of gold without needing to clear Sidhe Finnachaid dungeon. The upgrade success rate bonus from dungeon difficulty does not apply. Failing an Advancement upgrade at Grade 26+ will no longer decrease the grade of the Echostone. Now, failing an upgrade at Grade 26+ will only consume gold or free upgrade attempts. When a Grade 30 upgrade succeeds, a message will be added at the bottom of the upgrade window stating that you can obtain an Echostone Attunement Stone upon dismantling. The upgrade animation time has been reduced. A Consecutive Advancement function has been added.

• A function has been added to complete upgrades up to a desired grade at once when upgrading with gold.
• Separate options are provided to save the requested upgrade stage and to continue attempting upgrades to the final desired stage even upon failure.
• You can now check an option to use gold directly from your bank for Echostone upgrades and continuous upgrades.
  • A Bank Processing Fee is added to the total gold cost when using this option.

• All grades of Echostone Awakening Stimulants can now be used regardless of the dungeon difficulty.

The Awakening attempt limit based on cumulative level has been removed. The maximum AP cost for Echostone Awakening is 25 AP. When a high Awakening ability level is granted, the level will be highlighted in yellow text without a separate animation. The Level Reroll function for Echostone Awakening has been added. When a new Echostone Awakening ability is granted, you can consume an Echostone Attunement Stone to reroll the level of that Awakening ability once. An Awakening ability level that has been re-rolled once cannot be rerolled again. The level reroll function cannot be used when the Awakening ability level is at its maximum. Only Echostone Attunement Stone is consumed as a material for re-rolling the level. The level is granted with the same probability as when using an Echostone Attunement Stone. If the re-rolled level is lower than the current Awakening ability level, the current level is maintained.

• Echostone Attunement Stones have been added as a material item for rerolling Awakening ability levels.
• Can be obtained at a certain probability when dismantling a Grade 30 Echostone.
  • Should the dismantlement fail to produce an Echostone Attunement Stone, the next attempt will be boosted.
  • You can obtain up to 3 per account per day (real-time). The acquisition count resets daily at 7:00 AM server time.

• The items that can be obtained from dismantling will now be shown as item images.

• The Awakening ability level on Echostone items will now be displayed in detail as (Current Level / Max Level).

Echostone Slots

• Echostone Slots have been added to the Extra Equipment Slots.
• If the usage period for either the Extra Equipment Slots or the inventory's Echostone Slots expires, the Echostone Slots within the Extra Equipment Slots will also be restricted.
  • Similar to the Echostone Slots in the inventory, you can equip up to 3 slots.

You can choose whether to swap each Echostone Slot in the Extra Equipment Slots individually by clicking the checkbox next to each Echostone slot. If all slots are deactivated, it will show as 'Excluded'. If one or more slots are activated, it will show as 'Swap Ready'. When swapping to an Echostone in the Extra Equipment Slots, the swap will proceed to the slots in the inventory in the following order: Swaps with Echostone of the same color first. Remaining Echostones are placed in empty slots starting from the top of the inventory. If multiple Echostones of the same color are registered in the same Extra Equipment Slot, the Echostones cannot be swapped.

• The current entry restriction for Sidhe Finnechaid requiring level 60 or higher has been removed, allowing entry at any time regardless of current level.
• The quest “Clear Sidhe Finnachaid (Any Difficulty)” has been added to the Growth Guide.
