August 12, 2026 live update

Official description: gameplay and systems

  • Soul Harvest launched with a new Fate Chart stage in Hallowgrove and Brandrgarde.
  • World Chat gained an in-window blocklist action.
  • Xbox gained real-time voice chat.
  • Ping display logic was updated to better reflect in-match input latency.

Official description: class and combat changes

  • Blackarrow: Mysticfly Arrow and Steel Arrow cooldowns increased, Dodge Power Shot cooldown increased slightly, Sonic Arrow cooldown was greatly reduced, and the Solo PvP damage multiplier was reduced while PvE damage remained unchanged. Several arrow and movement bugs were also fixed.
  • Sorcerer: Fire, ice, and lightning tools received damage-distribution, cooldown, activation, and energy-recovery adjustments. The Solo PvP damage multiplier was reduced while PvE damage remained unchanged.
  • Shadowstrix: Spinning Slash super armor, Sleight of Hand, Phantom Shift, Battle Frenzy, Inspiring Impale, Wound Accumulation, and Aftereffect were adjusted in different directions. The note does not support reducing the whole class to a single “nerf” label.
  • Eloquence: the high-tier anti-interruption effect cooldown increased from 10 seconds to 15 seconds.
  • Withered Knight and Seer also received targeted issue fixes, while damage-over-time tick frequency was reduced without changing total damage.

Official description: stability and interface fixes

The patch addressed performance and intermittent crash cases, storage and warehouse displays, Einherjar interactions, friend list behavior, Auction House refreshes, and console UI/controller flows. It also continued the investigation into server latency. A fix list narrows known problems; it does not prove that every instance is eliminated on every platform.

Community data extraction

Players extracted and compared exact cooldowns, scaling, and talent values after the update. That work can be useful where the official description says only “slightly” or “greatly,” but it is community data extraction, not an official specification. Exact values should carry the client build, extraction method, and mode, then be reproduced in play before they drive a build recommendation.

August 6, 2026 live update

Official description

  • Dried Flower Knots began dropping, opening access to the Einherjar Mist Lord challenge.
  • Blackarrow received Steel Arrow impact and movement fixes.
  • Withered Knight energy costs and skill behavior were adjusted or repaired.
  • Mercenary auto-block and Sorcerer charged Meteor Charm issues were fixed.
  • PS/Xbox friend list crashes, Hallowgrove Gyldenmist damage, gem-affix crashes, stackable items, bound-loot display, Fate Chart timing, and multiple UI/task issues were addressed.

This earlier patch should not be read as the current balance baseline by itself; the August 12 changes supersede parts of its context.

Pros

  • Official notes establish what the developer intended to change.
  • Community extraction can add exact, reproducible values when clearly labeled.

Cons

  • Qualitative words do not reveal every numerical change.
  • A patch note cannot predict Solo, Trio, PvE, and PvP outcomes by itself.

Frequently asked questions

Did Blackarrow and Sorcerer receive the same kind of nerf?

Both had Solo PvP multipliers reduced with PvE damage unchanged, but their individual skill adjustments differ.

Were all Shadowstrix changes nerfs?

No. The official list includes both reductions and improvements across skills and talents.

Are Reddit exact values official?

No. They are useful community data extraction and must be labeled, dated, and checked against the current client.
