Patch Notes: December 1st 2023

Missions

• Diabolos in Waking Dreams and the COP mission will no longer have enhanced TP moves. (Tiberon)

Monsters

• The Zilart Kings (Fafnir, Nidhogg, Adamantoise, Aspidochelone, Behemoth, King Behemoth) have had new mechanics added to them to further increase their difficulty based on player and balance feedback.
• Charybdis place holders should now behave accurately. (Tracent)
• Highwind will now spawn every 4 hours and the rewards are now obtained once per weekly conquest.
• The same mob may now be familiared by multiple players as long as the mob uncharms between each familiar. (Tracent)
• The intimidation from Gration now retail-accurately only applies to spells targeting Gration (and thus will, for example, not apply to players curing own alliance members unless some other type of intimidation (e.g., dragon killer) is at play). (Tracent)

• Fixed an issue that was not applying the seigan reduction to third eye when third eye was paralyzed. (Tiberon)

• Fixes a bug causing the sentinel column to report the wrong time. (Tiberon)
