Update v0.19.6 — New Combat Balance, Profession Rework & Expanded Localization

v0.19.6 primarily changes combat balance, Fishing and Excavation, while continuing the major overhaul of the game interface and localization.
Main highlights:
- Defense has been significantly reworked — Armor now has a much stronger impact on incoming Damage;
- higher-level Monsters now use a new and clearer bonus damage system;
- Manual / Auto Fishing and Excavation have been reworked;
- Elite Potions now visually grant Wings;
- the Friendship Window has been completely redesigned;
- a major stage of Russian localization has been completed for NPCs, Titles, Dialogues, and Quests;
- a proper AFK Indicator has been added above characters;
- Ballista, Soul Guardian, Collections, Loot Ownership, and multiple visual issues have been fixed.
New Defense Balance
The character Defense formula has been significantly reworked.
Damage Reduction is now calculated based on the attacker's Level:
Reduction = Defense / (Defense + 15 × Attacker Level)
Maximum Damage Reduction:
80%
This means:
- a character with almost no Armor receives almost no protection;
- good equipment now has a much stronger impact on survivability;
- a well-enhanced set can reduce approximately half the Damage from an enemy of a similar Level.
Defense Roll
For each individual hit, the Defense value is now rolled between:
Min Defense → Max Defense
shown in the Character Window.
The Combat Log now shows:
- the Defense range used;
- the exact value rolled;
- how much Damage was reduced.
This makes it much easier to understand exactly how Defense affected a specific hit.
Bonus Damage from Level Difference
Monsters above the character's Level now deal additional Damage using a new system.
0–3 Levels Higher — No additional Damage
4 Levels Higher — ×1.25 Damage
Every Additional Level — Adds another: +0.25
For example:
- +4 Levels → ×1.25
- +5 Levels → ×1.50
- +6 Levels → ×1.75
- +7 Levels → ×2.00
This system also works inside Dungeons.
In the open world, the Damage increase is now softer than in the previous version of the system.
Friendship Experience — Power Leveling Protection
Friendship Experience has received an additional restriction.
A Friend now receives shared Experience only from Monsters that also grant Experience to the player who made the Kill.
This means a high-level character can no longer efficiently power-level a low-level Friend by killing Monsters that no longer grant Experience to the high-level player.
Threat Meter
The Threat Meter above Monsters is now displayed only while the character is in a:
Party
It no longer takes up unnecessary screen space during Solo Play.
Fishing & Excavation
Fishing and Excavation have received another major rework.
When starting either activity, the game now asks you to choose:
- Manual
- Auto
and immediately explains the difference between them.
Separate Auto Actions are no longer shown in the Actions Window.
Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, the Mini-game remains the main part of the activity.
After each attempt, the character automatically:
- casts the Fishing Rod again;
- or starts another Excavation.
You no longer need to manually restart every attempt.
Manual Excavation
During Manual Excavation, the Mini-game starts on every attempt.
If the player successfully completes at least:
50% of the Mini-game
a find is guaranteed.
This means successfully completing at least half of the Mini-game results in an item every time.
Auto Excavation
In Auto Mode, the base chance to find an item is:
40%
When using:
Auto Shovel Oil
the chance becomes:
100%
Auto Fishing
Auto Fishing now takes:
3× longer
This also applies when using:
Rainbow Bait
Auto Mode Presence Check
If the player fails to complete at least half of the Presence Check:
- Auto Fishing stops;
- Auto Excavation stops;
- the corresponding Auto Mode is locked for 10 minutes.
After the lock expires, it can be used again.
Fishing Book
The Fishing Book is now significantly more informative.
Each Fish now shows:
- every location where it can be caught;
- the required Fishing Skill.
The description section below each Fish card has also been redesigned.
Bait Compatibility
If the currently equipped Bait cannot catch any Fish in the current Location, the game now displays a clear warning on the screen.
This helps prevent wasting Bait unnecessarily.
Consumable Packs
Bait and Oil packages containing:
- 500;
- 1,000;
- 10,000;
now work like proper Boxes.
Opening one grants the exact displayed amount of the corresponding Consumable.
Auto Excavation Fix
Fixed an issue where Auto Excavation could unexpectedly stop with the message:
“Server rejected the action”
Elite Potions — Wings
Elite Potions now have their own visual effect.
After using one, Wings appear behind the character.
Wing size depends on the Potion type:
- regular Elite Potion — Small Wings;
- Magical Elite Potion — Medium Wings;
- Physical Elite Potion — Large Wings.
The Wings are visible not only to you, but also to other players.
Friendship Window — Complete Redesign
The Friendship Window has been significantly redesigned.
The window is larger, and Friends are now displayed as individual cards.
For each Friend, the following are shown visually:
- HP;
- MP;
- Friendship Level;
- Closeness;
- Golden Apple.
Each value is displayed using:
- a Progress Bar;
- a numerical value.
Friendship Skills are now placed in a single row, making the interface much cleaner and easier to read.
AFK Indicator
Characters can now display the status:
AFK
It appears automatically if the character remains standing still for:
5 minutes
AFK Mode can also be enabled manually with:
/afk
The indicator disappears immediately when the character moves.
Major Russian Localization Update
Another large part of the game world has been translated into Russian.

50 NPCs
have been translated in:

Another player's Loot remains reserved for the owner for the first:
10 seconds
If the owner does not pick it up, the Loot becomes available to everyone afterward.
Before the protection expires, attempting to pick up the item displays a notification showing the remaining time.
Ballista Fix
Ballista Basic Attack timing has been fixed.
Previously, Ballista could fire:
two arrows in quick succession
Shots now occur strictly according to the actual:
Attack Speed
Player Targeting Range

in Rain River no longer stands at the bottom of the river.
It has been moved onto the shore.

- Alpen;
- Rain River.
The number of required Fish types has been reduced from:
16 → 8
Collections
Collections have received several additional fixes.

Soul Guardian Balance

Healer — Earth Keeper improves Shield strength.

Armor Visual Fixes

- equipped correctly;
- granted their Stats;
- but did not visually appear on the character.
This includes:
Luxurious Dekron Set
and other items with the same issue.
Equipment Dismantling
The visual behavior of the Dismantling Window has been fixed.
The indicator now stops:
exactly under the Material that was actually obtained
and no longer makes it appear as though a neighboring Item was received instead.
Overhead Alignment
Guild, Title, and Character Name above the character are now aligned based on the text itself.
Additional Icons no longer shift the center of the entire line.
Shadow Fix
Fixed Shadows shaking due to the movement of the Sun and changes in the time of day.
v0.19.6 continues making the combat system clearer and ties character effectiveness more strongly to equipment quality. The new Defense Formula and Level Difference Damage Scaling make Armor and preparation significantly more important.
At the same time, Fishing and Excavation now have a clearer distinction between Manual and Auto Modes, Friendship and Soul Guardian are more polished visually, and the major Russian localization update makes another large part of the game world fully accessible in Russian.
