Helbreath Mystic Tavern Classic - Update v3.3.9.0

New Content

• Added the Ice Dagger spell (circle 9): a blade falls on a 3×3 area and freezes everyone hit; the outer tiles take 50% damage.
• Added the Fire Breath spell (circle 6): a cone of fire towards the targeted tile; the edge tiles take 60% damage.
• Both spellbooks are sold in the Magic Shop.

Chat translation: an Auto-translate option, a Translate Message button on messages in the chat history, and a flag indicating the language of a translated message. Chat item links: hold Shift and click an item in your bag, or drag it onto the chat input, to link it. You can link up to 5 items per message, and other players can view their tooltips on hover. Korean and Chinese text in chat now displays in every client language. Travellers belonging to Default now see a citizenship selection window at the nation teleports from level 5, showing each nation's citizen count and online player count. Guildmaster perks:

• +10% EXP.
• In a party, the Guildmaster and their guild members gain +2 HP Recovery and MP Recovery per guild member in the party, up to +20.

Steam clients offer a one-click switch to the Windows language on the login screen.

Crafting & Upgrades

• Batch crafting: once you reach the maximum skill for a recipe, you can craft multiple items in a row.
• Items no longer shatter when a regular upgrade fails. Instead, each failure above +3 reduces the item's upgrade level by one.
• Each regular upgrade attempt costs 10k × (current upgrade level + 1) Gold, whether it succeeds or fails.
• Putting a gem into a socket costs 1k to 30k Gold, depending on the gem's completion.
• The Item Upgrade window no longer has an item list: drag an item into it or double-click an item in your bag or equipment, and the correct category opens automatically.

Balance & Gameplay

• High secondary stat values on dropped items are harder to obtain: the chance starts decreasing at half the stat's maximum value, with a minimum threshold of 40, or 20 for PA / MA. The maximum value itself is twice as hard to obtain.
• Hammer damage is now 6–28 / 6–30, and BattleHammer damage is 6–31 / 5–36.
• Bloody-Shock-Wave deals 25% more damage.
• Staminar-Drain and Earthworm-Strike drain more stamina as MAG increases, up to +50% between 100 and 200 MAG.
• Darkness now works on monsters: they lose their target, only notice players within 3 tiles, and wander around the spot where they were hit. The strongest bosses are immune.
• Protect spells can be cast on any monster except towers, gates, and merchants.
• Capes and full-body costumes now properly absorb damage, with absorption split evenly across the 4 hit locations.
• On days with a 1-minute raid limit, each new entry to a raid map reduces the available time: 60, 30, 15, 6, then 3 seconds.
• FrozenCave: one Wyvern spawns per 5000 kills on the map. The Wyvern quests, guild quest, and Wyvern Slayer hunt there have therefore been removed.
• Party loot voting only applies to fresh monster drops, not to items dropped by players.
• Leaving a party locks you out of its loot for 30 seconds. Rejoining removes the restriction.
• Auction fees have been lowered to 5k / 12k / 28k Gold for 12 / 24 / 36 hours.
• Crystal now sells for 50 Gold and CrystalWare for 200 Gold.
• Equipping a shield after starting to cast a spell now cancels the spell when you click the target.

Interface

• Map entrance tooltips show level limits directly from the server, so they are always up to date.
• Items with only an upgrade level and no rolled stat are no longer treated as having additional stats for name colours, tooltips, loot voting, and auction quality.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed monsters losing their selection highlight during combat when the cursor remained still.
• Fixed clicks on equipped items being treated as spell target selections while aiming.
• Fixed phantom players and monsters near the screen edge remaining visible until you approached them.
• Fixed Create Food not working on Bisle.
