just some quick question
Is Musk still a viable AA build?
Thanks
Not for partis solution. 
apparently taunts are CC’s
None its non viable… theres better builds, and regular builds, but not a NON viable build…
In short, yes, it is viable AA build with Qs in there for kneeling, or without Qs, just grooving is enough…
I stand corrected. Carry on. I must keep my own bias in check.

KTEST Patch 12/19
Skill Scroll Reorganization
-The conditions for creating skill scrolls has changed. You need to learn a skill at max level for it to be craftable as a scroll. (In a prior patch, they made it so you can only create max skill level scrolls)
-Rune Caster now has the ability to create skill scrolls.
-Creation and use restrictions of skill scrolls will be lifted. (It seems they have not changed which skills can be scrolled, but they can now only be crafted at max level. For example, Enchant Fire can only be crafted at level 15 for 7500 silver and 30 rune stones)
-Skill scrolls you currently have will be refunded in silver to all character’s markets (skill level of scroll * 500 silver per scroll).
Guild Quest
The reward from doing Guild Quests will be upgraded.
1000 Attribute Points (14 days) x1 -> x5
(This is the guild quest system we do not have yet)
Gemstone Feud
-The Gemstone Feud entrance has also been placed in Klaipeda, Orsha, and Fedimian.
-The number of Goddess Blessed Gems you can trade for per day has been increased to 2.
-The amount of badges required to purchase items has been decreased. (Please see the list.)
Class Skill Balance Changes
Priest
-The effects of Sacrament and Blessing will now scale proportionally to the caster’s character level.
Chaplain
-The effect of Last Rites will now scale proportionally to the caster’s character level.
Pardoner
-Spell Shop no longer requires the Priest class or Increase Magic Defense to be learned to sell any buffs. The effectiveness of these buffs is not modified by knowing any other skills and only the skill level of Spell Shop is used.
Bullet Marker
-Bloody Overdrive tooltip adjusted to state that you cannot be knocked back/knocked down during use.
Enchanter
-Crafting Enchant Rounds, Fire Enchant Rounds, and Ice Enchant Rounds now produce 15 rounds instead of 1 while still only requiring the same amount as materials as before.
Many bugs were fixed.

Have chrono still had the 50s Pass?
Datamining.
Pardoner
Priest and Pardoner buff potency now also scale with the level of the caster. Example of Blessing:
x = (180 + (skillLevel - 1) * (characterLevel / 7 + 10)) * ((SPR / (SPR + characterLevel) * 2) + 0.15)
This formula is used for both Pardoner and Priest. However, Pardoner buffs cannot benefit from Blessing attributes (no enhance attribute, etc) and the final potency of buffs sold through Spell Shop is also reduced to 30% of what they would have been if they were actually cast normally.
They also have new icons.
Rune Caster
Rune Caster uses rune stones to craft the skill scrolls. You can only make skill scrolls for skills that you know.
New Items
Penguin Box
This is an event item, not a premium item, that gives you a penguin egg.
Observation Scroll
This is a Guild Territory War item. After use, you can see the position of all Guild Members that currently own the territory are you in on your map for 5 seconds. You can only use this item if you don’t own the territory.
Random Notes
It looks like they may have put a cooldown on dispel items (Dispeller, Omamori) or may be doing it soon.
Besides all that, they are now getting the christmas themed items we got last maintenance.

So Rune Caster becomes the new enchanter then? Very nice. I would have chosen Taoist or Onmyoji for that role instead, but giving it to Runecaster is honestly fine. It makes it attractive as a hidden class too. What do they mean by ‘removing restrictions’ of creation and use though?
Also, what’s our most useful scroll-crafting build now, then? Probably Pyro and Warlock?
Finally spell shop disconnected from priest. Now they just have to be DIFFERENT buffs altogether.
well, the pyro alchemist enchanter (potions and enchante fire scroll) is back, Alchemist>Pyro>Rune Caster

Level 390 Hunting Ground
Iredian’s Refuge
In this area, you will fight level 390 monsters that are much more difficult than previous hunting grounds. The area also contains level 400 boss monsters. By hunting monsters and completing gimmicks, you can move to special areas where many monsters gather, or even attempt a solo only raid. In this raid, you can obtain high level necklaces and new Seal items.

I have my doubts if the theoretically most efficient character to farm, “corsair> thauma> linker”, will have enough damage, the corsair’s skills seem weak
OMG it’s not exactly what I want but I’ll take it. Priest buffs are relevant again.
January will be a busy month.
- Guild raid dungeon
- Lvl 390 hunting grounds
- Low lvl dungeon will be combined and no more exp and silver penalties
- Uphill, Bernice dungeon and earth tower rework / balance
- And more
At least, that’s what one could gather from Google Translate. Feel free to correct this post, if necessary.
Content Update Preview
New Content
Guild Hideout Raid (January)
A new type of content will be added that takes place in your guild hideout. By talking to an NPC in your guild hideout, you can start a raid against a generated boss. You will gain points based on your contribution, which will be converted into silver by talking to the NPC on the next Monday after completion.
New Level 390 Hunting Grounds (January)
Iredian’s Refuge
In this area, you will fight level 390 monsters that are much more difficult than previous hunting grounds. The area also contains level 400 boss monsters. By hunting monsters and completing gimmicks, you can move to special areas where many monsters gather, or even attempt a solo only raid. In this raid, you can obtain high level necklaces and new Seal items.
Content Reward Improvements and Accessibility (12/20 Update)
Guild Quest
The reward from doing Guild Quests will be upgraded.
1000 Attribute Points (14 days) x1 -> x5
Gemstone Feud
-The Gemstone Feud entrance has also been placed in Klaipeda, Orsha, and Fedimian.
-The number of Goddess Blessed Gems you can trade for per day has been increased to 2.
-The amount of badges required to purchase items has been decreased. (Please see the list.)
Content Reward Improvements and Accessibility (12/27 Update)
Collections
You will be able to view and register items in your collection anywhere, anytime, without going to the Magic Association NPC.
Instanced Leveling Dungeons
They plan to consolidate lower level dungeons for shorter matching times. They also plan to reduce EXP and silver penalties for death, with the exception of the highest level dungeons.
Content Reward Improvements and Accessibility (Next Month’s Update)
Uphill Defense
They plan to reduce the amount of runs you can do per week, but drastically increase the reward.
Remnants of Bernice
They plan to change the reward, and the rankings will be reset with this update.
Your team will be rewarded with attribute points for continuous participation. The reward paid will be based on the highest stage cleared out of all your characters.
The ranking reward will be changed from one that is basically for prestige/honor to one with real value. The rewards given out will be per base class, not overall ranking.
The development team does not use Remnants of Bernice as a basis for balance patches.
Earth Tower
After [Re:Build], the difficulty of this was adjusted to be based on the new battle balance.
The duration/amount of time it takes to complete certain sections, such as defense sections, cause boredom and they will be changed.
You will no longer need to consume a token to jump to any 5th floor (though you still need proof that you’ve cleared it at least once).
You will still need the token to enter Solmiki.
Guild Territory Wars
In the near future, territory transfers will be officially held and systems related will be updated. There will be a detailed post next week on changes/additions to the beta.
Lastly, the development team is working on an overall reorganization of the rewards from content within Tree of Savior. An update will be provided as soon as final details are confirmed.
Thank you.

Just to be clear, is it 70% of the normal casting or 30%? On iTOS now, is 70%. So got nerfed?
It’s 30%. The final value is reduced to 30% of the normal amount. (2000 becomes 600)
In the screenshot above, it seems that Spell Shop Blessing stacks with regular Blessing, that may be the reason (unless that’s a bug).

Yep. That’s why I said “too”, because they’re ambiguous.
Not only for Partis, but for transcend and refinement they are treated as armor too.
