Adventurers,

On August 21, 2026, we held another edition of RAGNEWS, opening up the conversation to answer some of the community’s main questions. During the stream, we discussed WoE adjustments, Illusion equipment and Refinement Cubes, future updates to the Adventurers' League, Good and Evil Weapons, Shadow Equipment, and the availability of Blacksmith's Blessings.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, watched the stream, and sent in your questions!

1. If the reductions applied to WoE this week are considered excessive, is there a possibility of reverting them or increasing the damage again? If so, how long would it take for the change to be implemented?

There is room to review WoE-related adjustments if the results are not as expected. The team recognizes that PvP needs attention and that damage reduction is important to make War of Emperium more balanced and enjoyable again.

However, no specific timeframe was confirmed for a possible rollback or further adjustment. At another point in the discussion, it was explained that even changes considered simple still need to go through internal review, and requests generally require at least around one month to complete this process. However, this timeframe was not mentioned specifically in relation to WoE.

2. Illusion equipment is currently a great option for players who are just getting started, but Refinement Cubes are still scarce. Are there any plans to make them more accessible, perhaps through the Adventurers' League or a similar system in the future Illusion Agency?

There was no specific confirmation regarding increasing the availability of Refinement Cubes or adding them to the Adventurers' League or the Illusion Agency.

However, the team showed interest in expanding ways for players to obtain equipment and resources through gameplay, including farmable alternatives for different types of gear. Therefore, this is the kind of suggestion that may be evaluated, but there is currently no confirmed plan for Refinement Cubes.

3. Are there any plans to update the Adventurers' League, including new equipment, Refinement Cubes, a reputation system, or other new features?

Yes. There is an intention to update the Adventurers' League. The team mentioned that they want to expand its usefulness, especially for players who have already reached 4th Classes and are engaging with more advanced content. The idea is also to make use of upcoming instances and explore equipment and costume rewards that could be obtained through the League.

There is no confirmed date yet. The team mentioned that they would like this update to arrive around the same time as content such as Airship Crash and Tomb of Remorse, allowing players to take advantage of both systems together.

However, there was no specific confirmation regarding Refinement Cubes or a reputation system.

4. Some Good and Evil Weapons have started appearing in the Oval Artifact, such as the Celestial Club, Infernal Dagger, and Infernal Bow. However, some of them, such as the Celestial Trident, enhance 4th Class skills that have not yet arrived in LATAM. How will these items be handled?

There was no specific definition in the available call material regarding how these Good and Evil Weapons will be handled.

It was also not confirmed whether items such as the Celestial Trident will arrive early with limited effects, be adjusted, or remain dependent on the arrival of their respective skills and rebalances. Therefore, it would not be accurate to present any of these scenarios as an official plan at this time.

5. Is there a possibility of reviewing the Class Shadow Box to include equipment for Soul Reapers and other classes that are currently not included?

The inclusion of Soul Reapers or other classes in the Class Shadow Box was not confirmed during the call.

What was mentioned is that there is interest in offering more equipment alternatives that can be obtained directly through gameplay, including farmable Shadow Equipment. The team showed openness to discussing this type of need, but no specific review of the Class Shadow Box was announced.

6. Will the Blacksmith's Blessing packages currently available in the JC shop appear regularly in future updates, or will they be seasonal items?

A recurring or seasonal availability model has not yet been defined.

The team explained that there is an internal discussion about increasing the availability of Blacksmith's Blessings, mainly because LATAM receives content at a much faster pace than other servers. With systems such as Grade, the demand for this resource increases significantly.
