Announcement Patch Note Adept DragonSaga Full Changelist [Updated 12.06.2023]

Hello AdeptGamers,

In this thread, I will tell you about all the changes on Adept that set itself apart from a vanilla chapter 5 server.
I will try to make this post as complete as possible. If I happen to forget things, I may update the list and refresh the title to reflect that.


General
  • Hyper Jump event is currently active for instant Lv. 20 + Job Change.
  • Fast-X is enabled. All you need to do is enable it and hold x.
  • Normal Enchant and Armor dust drops globally from monsters occasionally.
  • When creating alts, you receive an EXP boost depending on the order of the character level wise on your account.
  • Skill Cooldowns do not reset on reviving. (This will come in handy for ultimate skill buffs later).
  • Couple system has no restrictions on race or gender

  • Guild leave timer is reduced.
  • Basic (silver) tier market scroll is available for free.

Quests
  • Many hero quests have adjusted EXP and Gold values. This will smoothen gameplay experience when choosing to do quests alongside levelling and progressing through the game.
  • Many Dungeon quests have special rewards such as EXP potions and additional gold.
  • F5 quests also reward additional gold, EXP, Enchant Scrolls and Dust to smoothen progression.
  • Added a quest that unlocks with Ryvius bounty. This quest makes you hunt Ryvius 3 times. You're rewarded with a Mist Elf part of your choice (except the helmet because it already has a quest

    • Top of Drakos prequest removed. Requires Lv. 70
    • Fight Black Dragon Lord Elga prequest was changed to Top of Drakos.
Account quests

Deserving of its own headline as it's a big feature on its own with lots of things to mention.
  • Account quests are exactly what they sound like. Quests that can be completed that then count in for your entire account.
  • Currently, there are normal account quests that can be done only once and daily account quests which are currently being used for the bounty system.
  • The quest conditions for accepting the quests are equal to normal quests.
    • If the character you are on fulfills the requirement (like prequest or Lv. requirement), then you are able to accept the quest.
    • After accepting the quest, you can change character and still see the quest in your quest log.
    • When a quest is ready to be finished, you can finish it on the character of your choice, giving you the rewards on that specific character.
  • Current account quests include:

Classes/Concepts/Balancing
This is an absolutely massive section. I'm putting it inside of a spoiler in order to not clutter up the entire thread.
Crit Rate calculation:
  • Final Crit Rate: Critical Rate Value * 0.3 / 10000 + Final Crit Values + 3% Base Crit Rate

Stat Conversions:

All Stat conversions are now linear and some stats can have multiple conversions to the same Stat (e.g: con to def, str to def).
Stat Conversion Rates are mostly the same, there are only minor differences between some classes. HP and MP are overall the same.


Base Stats:

Additionally to the conversions, all base stats have been raised, and additional stats have been added on primary as well as secondary stats per class.
These stats now also scale post Lv. 60 (where it usually stays static and the player gets to choose 5 stats post Lv. 60).
  • Bonus stats have been increased from 5 to 15 per level (61+).
  • All your bonus stats have been reset.
  • Base stats have been raised

Base critical damage has been updated on some classes (affecting from 1st jc on forward).

Dragoon: 200% Critical Damage
Overlord: 200% Critical Damage
Invoker: 180% Critical Damage
Sorcerer: 220% Critical Damage
Sentinel: 200% Critical Damage
Destroyer: 190% Critical Damage
Savage: 220% Critical Damage
Ninja: 200% Critical Damage
Summoner: 180% Critical Damage
Twin: 200% Critical Damage


Regeneration:

Before this update, regeneration was never really relevant unless it came through pots.
Regeneration has received a rework and now is available to be built intentionally! (See SoulCraft changes).

  • HP and MP regeneration are now based off a percentage of your maximum HP and MP:
    • Base HP regeneration: 0.5% of your max Health.
    • HP regeneration interval: Every second.
    • Base MP regeneration: 5% of your maximum Mana.
    • MP regeneration interval: Every 10 seconds.
Soul Crafting:
  • It is possible to have the same effect multiple times. This counts for most set effects, but not all.
  • New effects have been added
  • Some old effects remain but may be removed in the future
  • Here is a list of the effects:

Skills
Many of the skill changes were initially listed with the stat concept patch, but they will be shown here separately. Apart from the skills mentioned here, true scaling has also been implemented.
Before we get to the changes, I would like to highlight the following:

  • The passives bug has been fixed. If you look at buffs and passives on your skill tree or effects on set effects, those effects will indeed take effect. The bug caused these effects to be based off base only and not take any equipped items into account. Quite a few buffs and passives have been rebalanced. Due to the nature of this fix, it would not be very useful to post what these changes exactly are because they were bugged anyway and factually had no meaning for gameplay. All changes are reflected in the descriptions of affected skills/buffs/passives.,
To clarify, initially after the changes the way numbers worked in general made some skills (especially the first class ones) extremely weak (skills that would have only 30% scaling off total damage). Those were mostly raised by 100% to accurate match how they should have been and aren't mentioned here. Though, worth to mention is that all basic attacks are around 100%, with down attacks etc. being at around 120%.
Else, many skills would also be around scalings that would be too high in comparison to their old versions. So a lot of adjustments have been made. Over all, all skills are scaling better now and deal more damage.
All changes listed are about Lv. 1 - 5. Levels 6 - 10 are not included in the notes.
Dragoon Tree:
  • Adjusted Recovery Blessing's Flat HP Regen to match Regen interval

  4. God of Fury Final Crit now 1-7.5% Lv. 1-10

Magician:
  1. Reduced Magician's Wisdom MP % Regen

    5. Healing Lv. 6-10: 12/14/16/18/20% Casters HP + 26/27/28/29/30% Caster's Mana
  3. Instant Heal:
    1. Mana Cost: 15% Mana
    2. Healing Lv. 1-5: 200/400/600/800/1000 HP + 5/6/7/8/10% Caster's Mana

  4. HP Restore:
    1. CD: 10s --> 20s (Now almost the same as duration so you don't soak mana without max value)
    2. Mana Cost: 5/10/15/20/25% Mana
    3. Healing: 100/200/300/400/500 HP + 5% Casters MATK + 5/6/7/8/10% Casters Mana per tick
  5. Blood Fever regeneration increased to match interval and strength

    • Added flat rate 8-85 of the stat Lv. 1-10

Shadow Tree:
  • Lethal Attack Final Crit Rate reduced to 3-7% from 3-15%
Sets
All Lv.40+ sets have been reworked. Normal and Chaos sets from missions all aim to assist in PvE until boss sets are obtained. All Lv. 60+ boss sets have similar set bonuses, but are adjusted for class specific stats and balanced a bit number wise (they will be listed at another point in time because they were recently just reworked).

Missions
  • Using gada coins in missions will ALWAYS yield a set piece.
  • The ice region missions (Alexyon, Alexandre etc.) now drop a soul box on the ground.
  • Chaos missions in these regions also have normal monsters drop souls.
  • Kryos drops 30 gold into every party member's inventory.
  • Kryos missions scale up to Lv. 90.
F6 & F7
  • F6 and F7 currently only exists for Chief Rokko
  • F6 hunches are not available. F6 will be revised at one point for ring farming and better balance (and more).
  • F7 fatigue has been removed. You will always be at 120% energy.
  • F7 can be unlocked after finishing the 2nd Job Change (Lavalon). An Account quest on the Bulletin Board in Port of the Winds south will appear (you can remote accept). This instant-completion question will unlock F7 for the entire account. You will not have to do any other quests on other characters.
  • F7 entry level for Rokko is Lv. 40+
  • No maximum level limit for Rokko F7.
  • Things worth mentioning for inside F7:
    • F7 waiting time has been reduced to 10 seconds from 60
    • F7 bombs can now be targeted by towers for full damage
    • F7 bombs receive normal damage again (one hit)
Dungeons
  • VanCliff (Lv. 60) and Drakos do not have a rare or hero mode anymore. Difficulty for normal mode Drakos is a little bit higher.
  • This also makes Dragon Bone in White and Chaotic Bomb Dust collectibles required to build sets from the elite bosses (you can still drop the sets like you are used to at the final boss). Through the new drop system, every party member is guaranteed some bones/dust and gold per elite boss, as long as you meet the level requirement.
  • VanCliff and Drakos both have free version scrolls for Floor 23 and Floor 48.
  • Both dungeons
  • Drakos now has a Master Mode, that can be accessed through scrolls for free in the cash shop.
    • Master Mode has Lv.80+ mobs that scale with the user's level.
    • Master Mode has limited revives. If you run out of revives, you will be ported out eventually
    • Master Mode limits the items you can use. At the moment, you can only use mana potions Lv. 40+.
  • Remember the quests for both dungeons and Elga have been cut short. View the list in Quests above for more details.
  • Some dungeon bosses like Aram and Lavalon give a little bit more EXP.
  • Elga mats farming method has changed. On-level boxes won't spawn anymore when Elga is vulnerable in his 3rd phase. The level-adjusted box still spawns every few minutes, however. See new drop system for more info on the new farming method.

New Drop System

Upon killing monsters with entries to the system, loot and gold is directly dropped into the player's inventory. Additionally, requirements like Level min/max can be added. This system also allows for separate and clean calculation of rare drops (whenever implemented). The existing system does it in a different way where rates aren't as accurate. The new system on the other hand calculates a new rate for each rare item so that every rare item has a chance of being obtained while having a 100% accurate rate (say if a boss can drop a rare item with 1% certainty, the certainty is guaranteed to be 1% and not something weird close to it because the way Dragonica calculates it saves resources over accuracy). Drops can be rewarded to the killer only, to the entire party/fellowship or both.

Here are the current implementations. Many more may be implemented in the future:

  • Element Bosses (end) reward an additional 50g per player.
  • VanCliff (regular) each floor boss rewards 5g + 2 guaranteed White Bones per member.
  • Drakos each floor boss rewards 10g + 2 Chaotic Metal Dust per member.
  • Elga Mats:
    • Cerberus (Elga mini boss 1): 10g, 1 shoulder 1 scale 1 bone + random 4 items from chest loot pool (min Lv. 70 required)
    • Devi Leech (Elga mini boss 2): 10g, 1 shoulder 1 scale 1 eye 1 bone + 4 random items (Lv. 70 required)
    • Diabolic (Elga mini boss 3): 10g, 2 shoulders 2 scales 1 eye 2 bones + 4 random items (Lv. 70 required)
    • Elga 3rd form kill: 70g, 4 Essence of Darkness 4 red horns 1 nail 4 scales 1 eye 4 bones + 4 random items (Lv. 70 required)
  • VanCliff (Chaos Lv. 80+ in the new continent)
    • Rewards the key to the next dungeon part (GateKeeper & Dracula) to the killer.
  • Element bosses give 50 gold to all party members
  • New continent mini dungeons (coastal & mushroom) reward 50 gold to the entire party and the 4 items from the loot table
  • Kryos drops 30g for every party member.

Normal & Chaos Tier -> Enchanting
This is also a kind of important topic. Let's just get down to the basics and then into some more detail.
Enchant Pity:
Upon failing to enchant an item, the pity count on the item increases. Each pity count increases the overall chance of succeeding your next enchant up to a certain point. There is a maximum amount of failures your item can have before the next enchant is a guaranteed success. When your enchant is guaranteed, your enchant scroll will not be consumed.

General Enchant Info:
  • Maximum enchant level: 25
  • Items that are Lv. 60 or above can be enchant above +20 if they are soulcrafted to Legendary.
  • While +20 is very strong, you can push beyond that if you would like to.
    • It gets much more difficult and costly the higher you go, especially for the chaos tier.
    • I personally advise against trying to go for +25, mid-maxing would be around +21-22.
  • Chaos Tier (tier 2) has been introduced:
    • Every item Lv.80 is by default considered Chaos Tier.
    • Enchants for the chaos tier are way more powerful. A +20 Chaos weapon is almost as strong as a +24 normal tier weapon.
    • Chaos Tier enchants up to +20 require by default Reinforced Enchant Scrolls.
    • Enchants above +21 for Chaos Tier require Special Enchant Insurance Scrolls, which can also be obtained through various ingame methods.
    • Enchanting and soulcrafting is much more expensive.
    • Enchanting takes Advanced/Chaos Weapon and Armor dust.
      • Chaos dust can be obtained from bounty quests or trading normal dust in.
      • Normal dust conversion (5:1) to chaos dust requires Chaos Coins (anti p2w mechanic).
      • Chaos Coins can be dropped by various means like Bounty Quests, 1st completion rewards and Chaos Tier dungeon farming (mini dungeons, chaos van cliff Lv. 80+).
      • Chaos Coins are NOT tradable.
      • The exchanger for those Chaos tier dust is in Port of the Winds Center -> Gacha Vending Machine -> Item Exchange.
  • More info regarding numbers such as success rates, cost, failover success rate, maximum fails and expected total required resources will be posted another time.
New Specific Enchants:
Enchants can now be defined for specific items. Custom mats can be required and rates can be individually adjusted based on the item. This has been implemented once so far:
  1. Undead Bone Weapons are now equip-able at Lv. 59. This means that you cannot enchant the weapons over +20.
  2. Undead Bone Weapons have much easier enchanting across the board. This will make getting into the game much easier.
Element
Elements have received a massive rework in how they work.
One big downside of the old Element System was that any elemental attack would always carry a flat added bonus damage on ANY attack which is then reduced by some weird calculation for resistances. This made things unbalanced between classes and kind of useless for PVE. I have changed this up completely.

  • Elemental Attack and Defense is now a percentage
  • This percentage converts a portion of your skill damage to elemental damage
    • Example: 20% Elemental ATK multiplies your skill damage by 1.2. The pure elemental damage is reduced by the target's elemental defense, which is also a portion converted from the target's overall defenses (upgrade your gear!).
  • Most bosses do not have elemental attack. Currently only Paris and Elga have some elemental attack. Chaos VanCliff with Bone Dragon also has elemental attack, but way higher than before to the point where it makes sense to build some Dark Defense (the set will reduce quite a bit of damage as most damage is elemental).
  • Any elite boss with an elemental stat bar displays how much elemental damage is being reduced (or increased if negative). If a boss displays more than 100% defense on an element, your normal damage will NOT be reduced.
    • Example: 20% Ele power. 1000 damage => 1200 damage
      Boss resistance: -50%
      Element damage adjusted: 200 * 1.5 = 300
      Final skill damage: 1300 damage (does not account for normal defenses ofc)
  • Elemental Accessory is already implemented through elemental dungeons and were adjusted to be much more useful.
  • Element chests are available at bounty exchanger for 6 respective Basic Elements (for accessories)
  • Element dungeons are gone through during the story line after Elga (starts Lv. 80, requires to have made an Elga weapon).
  • All element dungeons are almost like you know them.
    • The bosses were adjusted a bit. Some of them are different bosses.
    • All portals (no matter whether it says normal rare or hero) lead you to the same boss.
    • You do NOT require a medal to enter any of the dungeons or boss rooms. All you need is the quest required.
    • You can enter element dungeons as often as you'd like, you do not need spirit protection from a daily quest.
  • Elements can be exchanged at Gwen in Port of the Winds (normal)
  • Element cards can be obtained like normal.
Production
Production has been re-added but left unaltered. I would like to rework/edit it at one point, but this may take some time. Production is tedious, which is why multiboxing it (CURRENTLY) is allowed. There will also be items for production and socketing available in the cash shop. Feel free to post suggestions or point out issues/errors or any bugs that may occur or anything that is missing.


I may also remind you at this point we have a Discord server with an updated link:

Rules Adept DragonSaga Rules

Network Rules
  1. There is a limit of one forum account per person. If you are flagged for multiple accounts (or sharing accounts), you may find secondary accounts removed, or be permanently banned.
  2. With your forum account you can register a maximum of two Dragon Saga accounts.
  3. Multiboxing is allowed for your own secondary account, but not for sharing accounts with friends.
  4. Account sharing is not allowed, and if done all accounts risk being banned. Account owners are liable for keeping their accounts secured and private, and Adept holds no responsibility for anything that happens from sharing accounts. Moreover, account owners are liable for any actions that happen on their account, or if illegal actions are done simultaneously on other accounts.
  5. You should do your utmost to secure your forum account as much as possible.
    1. Ensure that you use a unique password for both the forum and your game accounts.
    2. Use 2FA, or preferably a hardware security key.
Server Rules
  1. Attempts to circumvent rules, or to plead ignorance will work against you. It is up to users to be aware and up to date on rules as much as possible, especially as most of our rules are common sense.
  2. Players should be respectful and treat people courteously, or at least be civil with others. While drama is inevitable, past incidents and behavior will be used to decide punishments when no single person is at fault. People who tend to be toxic will be dealt with harshly.
  3. We do not condone any bigoted behavior, including but not limited to racism, homophobia, transphobia or slandering other players beliefs. Players who are reported for such behaviors, or who have done so in a public way (World chat or Discord) will see themselves dealt with harshly.
  4. Bullying other players is strictly not allowed, and it does not matter if it is done in game or on the Discord server. We will be defining bullying as targeting players as a group or as an individual, and the punishment depends on the severity.
    1. Trash talking is not considered bullying, however it is dependent on the extent to which someone goes.
  5. We have zero tolerance for cheating, exploiting, botting, or using any third-party programs or client edits. If you are caught cheating in any manner, you will be permanently banned.
  6. There is zero tolerance for impersonation of Adept staff members. There are no questions asked if you try to impersonate staff, and you will be permanently banned from the network.
    1. Impersonating other players is also strictly prohibited.
PVP Rules
  1. In BSQ, it is forbidden to intentionally funnel yourself or someone else onto the winning team by joining the opposing team just to leave. It's safer to join and then play it out properly.
  2. No AFKing in BSQ at the base.
  3. Flag sharing is forbidden if there are more than 4 players on the battlefield.
  4. No running with flags that aims to avoid combat.
Emporia rules
  1. No purposeful relogging and rejoining during BSQ. Players caught purposely disconnecting will be punished, as will others who take part. Encouraging others to do so will also get you punished, especially guild leaders.
  2. When starting a battlefield, most members who would like to take part should be present at the start of the war. Having everyone join during an attack window is not allowed.
The rules you see can be altered whenever Adept considers fit. Not all rulings will be present in the list, and you can deduct from your experiences at other servers what is tolerated, not tolerated or within a grey zone. The list will be updated whenever a new point arises.

We reserve the right to banish anyone from our platform without a specified reason.

Announcement Event Developer Update Adept DragonSaga: Elemental Chaos



EXP: 5x Gold: 5x

Website
Discord
Release date: June 16th 2023 - 4 PM UTC+2



Welcome to Adept! Our server is the closest to a natural vanilla you can find without the many annoyances you may find on official. I have designed our progression to cater to both veteran players with experience from other servers, as well as to players who are either new or inexperienced. Stay tuned to our Discord and our Forum.
Join us on our launch event: Hitting milestones within 2 weeks of our launch by having many people connected to the game at the same time will unlock rewards for the entire server and account wide:

50 players online: EXP 5x -> EXP 10x. Gold 5x -> 10x for 1 week
75 players online: Double Enchant failover success rate for 2 weeks
100 players online: 7 days Premium + 50 normal enchant scrolls + 25 advanced enchant scrolls
150 players online: 2000 gold, 1000 weapon/armor dust, 5x 9999 souls


Our features:

Account Quests

We have added account wide quests so that players will be rewarded for first time completions once per account, as well as pity quests for rare items such as Paris Wings or Elga Weapon. You are also able to complete daily account quests instead of grinding every character for rewards.

Enchant Pity

We have made it so that enchanting has a maximum number of failures until you are guaranteed to succeed. Not only that, failing will increase your next success rate to a certain extent.

Reworked Elements

We have reworked the element system to work in PvE by scaling it off of your attack and defense percentually rather than adding damage per attack.

Extended Drop System

I have added a drop system on top of the existing one, so mobs can drop gold and items directly into your inventory. In addition, rare items have a more accurate drop rate in this system. This enables you to safely farm with guaranteed drops for all party members for gold in Verglas Ridge or Chaotic Metal Dust from Drakos (2x per person) as well as many other implementations.

Images:
We have been investing a lot of time and effort into working on our source code foundation and experimenting with new concepts and features. What we currently have is only a part of what we have planned and are looking at enhancing the gameplay further and adding new content.

Here is a list of some of the other features and changes that we have added:
  • Job changes are not connected to long quest lines anymore. You can simply reach the level and complete a few quests to get it done. Check out the forum guides for more info!
    Fellowship Entry test begins prequest is removed. Requires Lv. 20 to accept
    Farrell's diary second part prequest is removed. Requires Lv. 40
    Where the traces point to (Ash mist - baron) prequest was removed. Requires Lv. 60
    Top of Drakos prequest removed. Requires Lv. 70
    Fight Black Dragon Lord Elga prequest was changed to Top of Drakos.
  • Master Mode (currently limited to Drakos): This is similar to Expert Mode, but with restrictions on usage of items and increased reward rates and rewards exclusive to Master Mode. Some example restrictions are limited number or revives and specific level potions only.
  • Bounty System: Our previous bounty system was basically a group of quests available daily for each character, but it ended up adding to player fatigue. The new bounty system consists of daily account quests up to 4 a day. You may redeem rewards on characters of your choice.
  • Easier Elga Farming: Every mini boss and Elga give you a set number of materials, and 4 random materials and guaranteed gold for everyone.
  • True Scaling: All of our skills use true scaling, so that the damage percentage shown scales off of your characters attack, rather than off of the weapon.
  • Stat Rework: Stats are now scaling linearly and regeneration is now a percentage of your HP/MP. Every class has approximately the same conversions, but still benefits from their specific stat. (Announcement - Patch Note - [Patch Notes] Stat Reworks and New Balance Concepts Patch).
  • Soulcraft Effects: I have reworked and added to the soulcraft system so that you can get new effects and get effects up to 4 times on the same equipment.
  • Catch Up Experience: Characters below your highest-level characters level will get an experience bonus while leveling.
  • Instant Level 20 + Job Change
  • Fixed Skill Passives that now scale off entire character stats.
  • F7 is re-enabled (Rokko only) and unlocked account wide through a quest. Bonus bombs are 1-hit and can be killed through tower. No fatigue. 10 second stage timer instead of 60.
  • Obtainable enchant scrolls through daily account quests, F5 completion quests, 1st time completion quests, purchasable from NPC and bounty tokens.

Although a lot changes have been listed here, these are not all. I will release a change list on Adept's forums summarizing a lot of changes in detail in the upcoming weeks.

  • Question
Incorrect Placement error message

On May 1st I logged in and went to login rewards where I clicked on the server trumpet that was the day's reward. I immediately began receiving an "Incorrect Placement" error message which flashes on my screen every 3 seconds or so. I have searched my pack for any server trumpets that are out of place but can't find any, and have deleted most of the server trumpets that were there, but to no avail. Logging out/in does not remove the error message. Suggestions?

  • Suggestion
Suggestion Monthly Marketplace Dragons

Any chance to get the following dragon eggs added to the monthly marketplace:
(not necessarily all at the same time)
(they are not available for sale in regular Dragon Egg section, or I would have already bought them).

Azure Snow (skytouched)
Darksteel (paragon)
Elelendh (fabled ancient)

Thank you for your consideration.

  • Question
Bug Report Falling into Consus cave boss room from above

Long story short there's a fun way to jump to the top of Consus cave. When your up there, you are able to access the boss room from the room in a opening under and left of the tree. This has been reported before. But I don't think anyone goes into this cave ever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm wondering what are the corrective procedures mentioned in the Anti-Cheat Mechanism, I just got out of combat and logged out so I couldn't figure that out.

Announcement Developer Update Notice of downtime until launch

Hello AdeptGamers

Today at 6 PM CEST the servers will go down in completion of the public experimental server.

After taking down the server, we will slowly prepare the server for its release.
In the upcoming time, you will see an announcement on various forums (including here of course) presenting our server and features.

Notice that some changes and fine tuning will be made during the downtime so your experience at launch may be different from the testing phase. A lot of the changes will be written down on the release patch.

About the release date: It will NOT be in May. I will take my time since there still are a few number-changes and adjustments to be made that aren't crucial to test.

Thank you for testing and being with us along the entire way.
