Blended RunesWhat are Blended Runes?The Blended Runes are a new set of tradable, high-level, stat-boosting items that are created by combining the existing runes with Core Technology. Crafted at the NPC 'Rune Agent Flasha' in Bloody Ice, in order to create one of these items you require:
• 2 types of Essence Rune
• Upgrade Core (High) 2 pieces
• 1,000,000 Alz
There are fifteen Blended Runes that can be created in total, each requiring different materials to make and giving different stat bonuses. Different runes will have different targets. So, for example, some Blended Runes will work on monsters; while others will work in PvP.
Each type of Blended Rune has three different levels (Rank 1, 2 and 3) which is based on luck during the crafting process. For each of these different level Runes you will require a different amount of of AP (gained after level 120 in the same way as EXP) and Upgrade Cores to equip the Blended Rune:
• Level 1 Blended Runes require 50 AP and 10 Upgrade Cores High
• Level 2 Blended Runes require 70 AP and 20 Upgrade Cores High
• Level 3 Blended Runes require 90 AP and 30 Upgrade Cores High
How do I use my new Blended Rune?Once you have obtained the Blended Rune, and gained the necessary requirements, you can equip it by going to a new tab of the Blended of Soul Ability UI. You are able to equip a maximum of three blended runes. Only One Blended Rune can be used at a time and this needs to be activated via the interface.
How can I remove a Blended Rune?Blended Runes can be deleted in the new tab "Blended" by clicking the X button in the upper right corner of the rune you wish to remove. You will not receive the cores or AP spent to equip the item.
Activation ChanceThe Stats of a Blessing Rune are not constantly applied to your character and will only activate at certain times. This is random and the frequency will the type of skill used.
Activation TargetAs previously mentioned, different Blessing Abilities have different targets. Some will have an impact on monsters. Others will have an impact on your fellow players, while some will boost your own stats.
Introducing you to the systemA new quest, Essence Ability, has been added to help guide you through this new feature. It can be received from the Rune Agent Flasha in Bloody Ice and he will reward you with one Essence Rune (Defense rate).
New Warp Stone AddedThe new warp stone will hopefully go some way to balancing the two nations. It gives one of the key winning benefits, in the warp feature, to the losing nation and makes life on the losing side that bit easier to take.
Basic Information• The Warp Stone is only available for premium users.
• It requires the possession of a warp item, which can be purchased from the Grocer, Core Alchemist and Remote Shop NPC for 100,000 ALZ.

GUILD EXPANSIONThe new guild system offers a number of significant improvements, making managing a guild easier than ever.
Guild level and Guild pointThe major change to the Guild System is the introduction of Guild Levels. The level of a guild will determine the benefits, such as maximum number of members and access to the warehouse, and will be based on how many Guild points the members of the guild have accumulated.
Basic Information• When a guild is created it will automatically be level 1.
• By gaining Guild points the Guild can level up to level 5.
• The guild automatically levels-up once it reaches the required number of guild points.
• Guild points are gained by every single member of the guild. It is based on the Ability points earned, which is gained while hunting or in the TG War Map.
• Even players under Level 120, the level usually required to gain AP, will receive AP for the purposes of the Guild system. Those under 120 will receive the same amount of AP as a level 120-129 character.
• Guild points will be updated hourly and can be seen from the Guild UI.
• After level-up Guild points will not reset, instead accumulating towards the next target.
How many Guild Points does a guild need to level?For each level you require a different amount of Guild Points.
• To reach level 2 a guild requires 3,000 Guild Points.
• To reach level 3 a guild requires 18,000 Guild Points (15,000 new points).
• To reach level 4 a guild requires 58,000 Guild Points (40,000 new points).
• To reach level 5 a guild requires 138,000 Guild Points (80,000 new points).
What does the level mean?The level of the guild will impact two things: the number of guild members it can have and whether or not it can access the warehouse feature.
• Level 1 Guild can have a maximum of 30 members.
• Level 2 Guild can have a maximum of 60 members.
• Level 3 Guild can have a maximum of 90 members.
• Level 4 Guild can have a maximum of 120 members.
• Level 5 Guild can have a maximum of 150 members.
Guild WarehouseThe Guild Warehouse is available for guilds level 2 and above. It is accessed through the Agent of Port Service and every guild member can use it to store Alz and items (at the usual rate charged on the warehouse). While all can use it, only those users who are given the right by the Guild Leader will be able to withdraw items
Once again, the Guild Warehouse will give different benefits to different level guilds.
• Level 2 Guild can store 100,000,000 Alz and use one slot of the warehouse.
• Level 3 Guild can store 400,000,000 Alz and use two slots of the warehouse.
• Level 4 Guild can store 700,000,000 Alz and use three slots of the warehouse.
• Level 5 Guild can store 1,000,000,000 Alz and use four slots of the warehouse.
The Warehouse will allow you to stack and store 20 of the same item (in most cases) in each slot. It will not allow you to store duration and account bound items (with the exception of Blessing Beads).
A history of the past 100 actions carried out in the warehouse can be seen from the "Usage History" section.
Changes to the Guild InterfaceThe interface and UI for guilds has also undergone some major changes. These are best witnessed by yourself in the game, with the UI now including much more information on each member. For logged in members details such as the channel, location, nation and status (i.e. AFK or not) will be shown. While by mousing over logged out players you will be informed of their last login date, an invaluable tool for determining whether or not an individual is still active.
Guild leaders are now also able to delegate much more responsibility to different groups within the guild, giving powers to invite new members, edit the guild board and create new groups in the guild. Responsibilities such as disbanding the guild or changing the name (at a cost of 10,000,000 Alz) are only available to the leader.
Changes Below are some of the main changes in the update. Not all changes have been listed due to the sheer amount.
