Dear friends!

We continue to actively work on Ascaron Global Server and are preparing for our first scheduled restart today at 22:20 (UTC+3)!

Over the past few days, we have deployed many changes without taking the server offline. We now want to collect them in one publication and explain what has changed in gameplay, balance, and the technical side of the project.

The server continues to operate steadily, and new players are joining Ascaron every day.

🏰 Guilds are actively recruiting as well: ➡️ Find a Guild

Alongside our advertising campaign, we are significantly increasing the rewards for inviting real players.

🎁 10 invited players — 1,500 Crystals

🎁 20 invited players — an additional 2,000 Crystals

🎁 30 invited players — an additional 2,500 Crystals

🎁 40 invited players — an additional 4,000 Crystals

Invite old friends, former guildmates, and the people you once played Tales of Pirates with.

1️⃣ Indigra

A major set of changes has been introduced:

• Shrimp Bun in the second progression reward has been replaced with Sturgeon Soup x1.

• Blessing Potions have been removed from the reward pool.

• The re-entry lockout has been increased to 5 minutes.

Re-entry is intended primarily for cases where a player experiences connection or client problems and is not intended to be abused.

• Indigra now attempts to distribute classes more evenly between teams whenever the current player composition allows it.

• Base active skills of participating classes are now calculated as skills of the maximum currently available level, regardless of their actual learned level.

This change does not affect:

• skill cooldowns;

• mana consumption;

• certain effect durations;

• the area size of certain AoE skills.

If the character has never learned a particular skill, the skill will not be granted automatically.

2️⃣ Changing a Fairy's Main Stat

Special items have been added that allow players to change a Fairy's main stat.

3️⃣ Daily Forging Quest

The quest now counts any forging event, rather than only the 104% option.

4️⃣ Autumn Forest

Drop rates from Terrants have been increased for:

• Level 75 scrolls;

• legendary Patchouli crafting blueprints.

5️⃣ Item Stacks Increased to 999

A significant number of common monster drops can now stack up to 999 items per inventory slot.

6️⃣ Shadow Mirror

The Blacksmith's Shadow Mirror can now be used on Uns gloves and boots.

If an alternative version of the item exists, the mirror will transform the item into that version.

7️⃣ Level Reduction Certificate

A new item has been added — the Level 55 Reduction Certificate.

8️⃣ Forsaken City

Boss drops have been adjusted to match the current stage of server progression.

9️⃣ Reputation Shop

Starting from Reputation Shop Level 1, the following items are available for a small amount of Reputation:

• a personal Fel Rune for upgrading Level 45 Uns to Tier V;

• tokens for Level 55 Uns gloves;

• tokens for Level 55 Uns boots.

1. Kill progress required for receiving the reward is now preserved after re-entering Indigra.

2. Gacha no longer displays non-existent stats on Apparel items — Apparel is purely cosmetic.

3. Fixed the system message shown when an Indigra match ends in a draw. The system now explains that each participant is randomly assigned either the winning-side or losing-side reward.

4. Fixed a possible issue where Dark Swamp could fail to identify the party of a disconnected player and return them to their teammates.

5. Boss Halavas has been returned to Demonic World in test mode.

1️⃣ GS Directly in the Interface

Your character's current Gear Score is now displayed directly below the skill bar.

2️⃣ Equipment Personalization

Dark Swamp and Behemoth should no longer temporarily bind the following items:

• Level 45 Uns;

• Level 40 rings;

• Level 40 accessories.

3️⃣ Server-Side Optimization

Dungeon map counters and the main server counter have been optimized.

This should reduce load in locations with a large number of frequent checks and lower the chance of:

• short freezes;

• a “slow motion” effect despite stable FPS;

• delays in processing certain mechanics.

4️⃣ Connection Stability

Additional client-side changes have been made to improve server connectivity while traffic filtering is active.

We expect:

• more stable connections;

• fewer connection issues;

• faster game login.

We will announce the client patch separately after additional testing is complete.
