Improvements
- Dungeon graphics assets will now preload to help reduce temporary freezes during gameplay.
Fixes
- An issue where the underwater gauge would occasionally decrease upon entering certain underwater Seal Dungeons has been fixed.
- An issue that occasionally prevented players from progressing in the Asmodian Quest Dungeon, Zikel's Sanctum, has been fixed.
- An issue where the Ludra's Trial skill failed to reset after the party was wiped during a dungeon mechanic in Abyssal Forge: Ludra (Sanctuary) has been fixed.
Retrieval and Restoration
- If you were unable to properly receive the guaranteed rewards for Expedition difficulty due to the patch reducing the required quantity for guaranteed Expedition (Exploration) rewards in the November 4, 2026 update, Armor Selection Chests (Bound) for each dungeon will be delivered to your Cube (Inventory) during the November 11 maintenance.
Thank you and see you in-game!
