KTEST Patch 2/4/20
Dimensional Collapse
1. Stage 11 has been added.
-Monster stats are 1.5x higher than stage 10.
-The mechanics that occur on the map appear more frequently than lower stages.
-The damage dealt by the map mechanics rises with each stage.
2. âSkill Gem Cubeâ has been added as a reward.
-You will receive one random skill gem out of all possible types upon use.
-You will have a higher chance to obtain a Skill Gem Cube by completing a higher stage.
-Weekly Boss Raid Tickets no longer gain increased drop chance with higher stage clears.
Clearing stage 11 grants a 4x bonus chance to obtain better stage clear rewards.
âťWhen the live server is updated, the team entry counts for Dimensional Collapse will be reset.
Legend Raids
You can now enter a Legend Raid additional times beyond your weekly clear limit without use of Legend Raid Portal Stones.
-If you have exhausted your weekly entry count for a given Legend Raid, you will be able to enter again, but will not receive any rewards, and will not be able to re-open the cube.
âť You may still use Legend Raid Portal Stones in order to receive rewards, and the reset time for the raids has not been changed.
Weekly Boss Raid
A new cumulative damage reward has been added for Weekly Boss Raids.
Damage Target: 150,000,000
Reward: Shining Demon Lord Cube x1
-You will earn these rewards even if you have already completed your Weekly Boss Raid entries for the week and have accumulated enough damage.
-Season 1, Season 2
Improved the damage UI for Weekly Boss Raids.
-Damage inflicted to bosses by a pet will now be labeled as their attack.
-Damage dealt by set skills granted by equipment will now be displayed separately.

Mercenary Badge Shop
Added 2 new items to the Mercenary Badge Shop.

Dimensional Collapse Entry Ticket: 2000 Mercenary Badges, Team Storage Only, 1 Purchase Daily
Attack against Large-sized Targets
An issue has been fixed that caused the stat âAttack against Large-sized Targetsâ to apply to boss monsters.
-After the 12/27 maintenance, we announced that there were cases where the stat âAttack against Large-sized Targetsâ would incorrectly apply to extra large monsters as well (bosses).
-As we mentioned at that time, the stat should only apply to large monsters.
Current: Stat applies to large monsters and, in some cases, extra large sized boss enemies
After Change: Stat only applies to large monsters
Vaivora Pikeâs stat bonuses have been changed.
-The bonuses will be modified to match the design intent of the weapon.
Current: Attack against Large-sized Targets +1450
After Change: Attack against Boss Targets +1450
The following two monster cards will no longer apply to boss monsters.
-Mallet Wyvern Card
-Deathweaver Card
Monster Gems
Monster Gems have been renamed to Skill Gems.
-The name of skill gems will now correspond to the name of the skill the gem is boosting rather than the monster it dropped from.
The item icon of Monster Gems has been changed.
-It will now be an icon based on the class it applies to.
167 new Monster Gems have been added which boost skills that did not previously have a gem.
-New Monster Gems can only be obtained from Skill Gem Cubes that are obtained from Dimensional Collapse.
-You cannot obtain these new Monster Gems as drops or from the Geraldas siblings NPCs.
Combat Formula Changes
The âDefense against Armor-type Attackâ stats and âDefense against Medium-sized Attackâ stat will now apply in PVE.
-For example, if you are wearing a Leather body armor, you will gain a damage reduction effect from the âDefense against Leather Attackâ stat. (Your armor type is determined by your body armor in the âTopâ slot)
-The damage reduction rate is inversely proportional to the level of the monster attacking you, up to a maximum of 50%.
-These damage reductions are applied multiplicatively.
System Changes
1. A graphics option has been added to toggle the âDaylightâ effect.
-The daylight effect is a red light effect that is applied in stages within Dimensional Collapse.
-If the option is set to Off, some quest effects and Dimensional Collapse daylight effects will not display.
2. Internal changes to the gameâs systems are being made.
-Some addons may be adversely affected or begin to affect your ability to play the game.
-Addons can cause unexpected problems or damage to your client, and there will be no compensation or assistance in dealing with problems that arise as a result.
Skill Balance
Hit Delay
The delay that occurs to your character when striking an enemy will now be reduced in proportion to your characterâs [DEX] stat.
-DEX / (Character Max Level * 5) is the amount of reduced delay.
Skill Delay Changes
We decided that the excessive amount of time your character is unable to act after using many different skills in the game can make it difficult to deal with dangers in combat due to the risk they impose. The development team wants skills that have long delays to be rewarding to use, or improve the usability of the skills if it is decided that their delay is too long.
Crevox Note: Very many skills have had their skill delays reduced. It would take me a very long time to list them out, so please check the notes to see the full list. I will only list out the other changes to classes.

Toyou and Greenwood
Lethargy

Shadow Fetter and Implosion
Please keep in mind Iâm playing with around 300 ping in these gifs. These skills probably feel way better to use when your ping is lower.
Unrelated, but I didnât see this in the patch notes:
Fountain in klaipeda, when you interact with it for 30sec, you get the new emote.
New Ngadhundi range:
Mastema auto Evil Sacrifice doesnât target only the targets with Mastema debuffâŚ

A really nice change. With the high spirits respawn with the Warlockâs Art, this kind of mechanic is very welcome. However, it seems to be at the cost of precisionâŚ
Still not the biggest fan of these stupid SFRs, but oh well.
@Teokbokki i dont bother checking one by one, but i assure you there is no corsairâs brutality gem here
@crevox i dont get it, why some of them already named as removed gem? are they delete them after announce them?
for example crescendo bane gem https://tos-ktest.neet.tv/items/643984,
rune of protection gem https://tos-ktest.neet.tv/items/643964
and rune of giant gem https://tos-ktest.neet.tv/items/643964
mastema actually is not good with PoA, should use to combo with invocation.
IMO the icons in the skill gem should be tie up with the actual class itself not from the class tree. And also I hope skill gem reward rng should atleast be narrowed down, example you would be rewarded with a random class skill gem box and then you would be able to choose which skill gem from that you would like to get, or vice-versa.

I hope Dragon Fall and Gae Bolg are included in the skill delay changes.
Not sure for Gae Bolg. But Dragon Fall indeed has its aftercast delay reduced from 2.6 to 1.5 sec in the ktos previous patch
Seems like there are no skill gem for buff skills. Maybe they started to add those then decided to change plans for a 2nd wave of gem skill later? Not sure why, the amount of buff gems has to be quite small compared to the damage gems.
I donât even remember what this is⌠
Bernice replacement?
So whatâs the point of doing that except wasting time? Just in case your guildmates need a 5th and youâre out of entries?
So now there are 3 types of gems:
- gems that drop from mobs on level 100+ maps, which are easily farmed with a corresponding leveled character
- gems that drop on level 100- maps which are a nightmare to get (0.02% drop chance from very limited pool of mobs)
- gems exclusive to Dimensional Collapse
Why do simple when you can do it complicated?
Basically 10 free points to spend on Invocation or Dark Theurge, Mastema SFR boost, better interaction with Invocation. Hope we get this soon after Episode 12 and not in 6 months⌠

someone actually asked for this in this forum. To actually practice all mechanic.
Yeah it prevents the situation where someone in your guild needs 1 more run and everyone is already done with their 5 runs. Enables a selfless person to help them.

because you can spam CM to farm the gem? that is not farming, that is harvesting
