*Changing the date format for better clarity and referencing
Players in iToS have once again taken the usual bait IMC puts out once in a while to keep afloat while forums have been filled with sparks about bug reports laced with drama this week, though it may be understandable that drama has popped up due to the recent chaos in last week’s GTW caused by server issues. With that said, there’s not really much going on in the iToS servers as players only have the [Dievdirbys and the Goddess Statue] event to look out for. New players should especially look out for this event as the event features the iToS server’s first free event Savinose Dysnai Equipment upgrade peripherals including +11 enhancements, Transcendence 8, set effects and even 2 free Vaivora stats for easy farming needs. These upgrades are sorely needed by the event Savinose Dysnai Equipment that players get from finishing main story quests as those equipment can only be upgraded with these pheripherals, so do try and get them before the event ends!
Over at kToS servers, nothing much seems to be happening either as always, though a recent Hope to Development Team post has particularly highlighted the player base’s concerns over the recently introduced Relics (or Res Sacrae in iToS) and Guild Raid changes that mirrors the iToS player base’s frustrations about them as well. It has been quite a few months since the release of those content in kToS, but it seems that IMC still hasn’t figured out a way to make the two content (and content related to them like Res Sacrae dungeon) feel worthwhile enough for players to stick with the grind and RNG. IMC has also been releasing many difficulty adjustment changes to Guild Raids since, so it is rather worrying that IMC still unable to sort this out to this day. Hopefully, this is one step in the right direction to a better rework.

[Giltine Guild Raid]
Highlights
- Participation with this Guild Raid continues to remain low, actually lower than last week, due to various reasons previously discussed like how much of a waste of time it is.
- IMC has not fixed guild symbols not appearing on Guild Raid Rankings for the 3rd week, eh …
- An interesting thing to note is that SA has no Raid clear this week, probably because the two guilds who cleared the raid last week were unable to take a GTW map this week.
- Congratulations to FullMoonCafe and GrapeSoda for clearing the Giltine Guild Raid this week!
- Congratulations to FullMoonCafe of Klaipeda for clearing Giltine Guild Raid the fastest this week at 59 minutes 25 seconds!!
[Boruta Guild Raid]
Highlights
- Contrary to popular beliefs, there is good reason for players to focus on Boruta Guild Raid over Giltine Guild Raid due to how Giltine Guild Raid is right now, so the overall timings of Boruta Guild Raid may actually improve.
- IMC server issues for the 3rd week, no Guild symbols yet again
- Melody, Maid Cafe, YN and Austale fastest Boruta times on Klaipeda, Fedimian, Telsiai and Silute servers this week
- Congratulations to YN for fastest Boruta timing this week at 15 minutes 14 seconds!
[48th Weekly Boss Raid Results]
With all the funky WBRs the community has faced so far, it is rather refreshing to get a rather normal (albeit new Solcomm WBR) this week that can properly reflect the bossing potential of class builds compared to the last WBRs. While the boss has a few irritating Weekly Patterns and an ability to zone out places with Silence debuffs, the boss is on the easier side, especially for Fire-element wizards who can capitalize its weaknesses. With that said, it is no surprise that Pyromancer-focused builds are at a huge advantage, and Mercies of Telsiai has pounced at the opportunity to take top spot across all class trees and servers, dealing a whopping 29.4 B damage as a Pyromancer | Taoist | Bokor!
- Top Swordsman Build:
- Myz [Silute], Fencer | Matador | Barbarian, 13.8 B
- Top Wizard Build:
-
Mercies [Telsiai], Pyromancer | Taoist | Bokor, 29.4 B
-
Mercies [Telsiai], Pyromancer | Taoist | Bokor, 29.4 B
- Top Archer Build:
- DestinedWing [Telsiai], Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher, 14.5 B
- Top Cleric Build:
- RoseQuartz [Telsiai], Exorcist | Miko | Plague Doctor, 13.7 B
- Top Scout Build:
- Tyhz [Telsiai], Bullet Marker | Clown | Assassin, 15.7 B
[Swordsman]
- Klaipeda:
- 1st to 3rd place: Fencer | Matador | Barbarian
- Fedimian:
- 1st to 3rd place: Fencer | Matador | Barbarian
- Telsiai:
- 1st to 3rd place: Fencer | Matador | Barbarian
- Silute:
- 1st to 3rd place: Fencer | Matador | Barbarian
- 1st
As always … the toothpick build, oh the toothpick build. Here I was hoping that any Swordsmen changes could bring about new things for Swordsmen, but here we are with the toothpick knights yet again dominating the Swordsmen meta with virtually no end in sight. Myz of Silute proved to be the sharper toothpick this week and taking top toothpick spot this week, dealing 13.8 B damage as a Fencer | Matador | Barbarian.
… need I say more on Swordsman meta?
[Wizard]
- Klaipeda:
- 1st and 2nd place: Pyromancer | Taoist | Bokor
- 3rd place: Sorcerer | Necromancer | Featherfoot
- Fedimian:
- 1st and 2nd place: Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Bokor
- 3rd place: Pyromancer | Taoist | Elementalist
- Telsiai:
- 1st and 2nd place: Pyromancer | Taoist | Bokor
- 3rd place: Shadowmancer | Featherfoot | Bokor
- 1st
- Silute:
- 1st to 3rd place: Pyromancer | Taoist | Bokor
The traits of this week’s WBR really benefits Wizards due to ther Magic damage with all the numbers to prove, with them generally dealing the most damage across the board compared to other class trees. Fire-element Wizards especially benefits from the boost this week, putting Pyromancer-focused builds up in the running for top Wizard spot. Mercies of Telsiai has come out on top of all server rankers across all servers and class trees this week, dealing an astounding 29.4 B damage as a Pyromancer | Taoist | Bokor
In a series of Deja Vu, an interesting information to note with the recent Wizard meta in iToS is how the Pyromancer | Taoist fire-element build differs than that of the meta in kToS, where players in kToS used to take Elementalist while those in iToS have picked up Bokor instead, an offbeat choice at first glance. A peculiar set of circumstances were in place, where Elementalist has been deemed to be rather lacking as a class after recent changes, the introduction of reworked Bokor with its 15% magic defence debuff and decent damage looking like a great bossing alternative, and the possibility of swapping between 2 Vaivora weapons for further damage mileage, may have tipped the fire-element meta to Bokor. If so, it seems like Elementalists are in for a rough time for the next few WBRs until further balancing.
[Archer]
- Klaipeda:
- 1st and 2nd place: Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher
- 3rd place: Mergen | Ranger | Appraiser
- Fedimian:
- 1st place: Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher
- 2nd and 3rd place: Mergen | Ranger | Falconer
- Telsiai:
- 1st and 2nd place: Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher
- 3rd place: Arbalester | Ranger | Fletcher
- 1st
- Silute:
- 1st to 3rd place: Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher
With all the weird WBRs the server has received these past few weeks, this week may be the first time since the EP 13 content patch that players can finally test out the Archer bossing meta and finally put to rest which Archer class best suits the current Mergen | Ranger meta. With that said, Fletcher has finally lived up to its kToS hype as every server’s top archer now sports the Mergen | Ranger | Fletcher build, and in particular, DestinedWing of Telsiai has conquered the archer rankings this week, dealing 14.5 B damage with the build. This is even more impressive considering sources have said that the player is competing against other players wielding +29 to +34 enhancement weapons while only using a +21 bow, a rather substantial gear gap to overcome.
This week’s rankings have given Fletcher a strong case for being the best 3rd class to go with the Mergen | Ranger combo, with even Arbalester picking up Fletcher. Previous WBRs had interesting shenanigans where the boss features the need for some mobbing ability or had some debilitating traits that don’t lend well to the usual Archer meta, so a rather laid-back WBR this week seems like a great start of determining Fletcher’s worth. With that said, the fact that Fletcher was only able to out-DPS Falconer and Appraiser variants in this ideal situation may also prove that Fletcher is sitting on a fragile throne compared to the other two variants that offer a lot more utilities for party play in exchange for damage. Either way, it is nice to see that Mergen | Rang- uh I mean Archer is finally starting to have some variety and trade-offs to choose from.
[Cleric]
- Klaipeda:
- 1st place: Exorcist | Miko | Crusader
- 2nd to 3rd place: Exorcist | Miko | Plague Doctor
- Fedimian:
- 1st place: Plague Doctor | Druid | Miko
- 2nd place: Inquisitor | Zealot | Druid
- 3rd place: Plague Doctor | Druid | Miko
- Telsiai:
- 1st place: Exorcist | Miko | Plague Doctor
- 2nd and 3rd place: Plague Doctor | Druid | Miko
- 1st
- Silute:
- 1st and 2nd place: Plague Doctor | Druid | Miko
- 3rd place: Exorcist | Miko | Druid
This week’s WBR being weaker to magic certainly helps the meta Magic Clerics over Physical Clerics this week as Plague Doctor | Druid and Exorcist | Miko builds are expected to reign this week. RoseQuartz of Telsiai has taken top spot for all cleric rankers this week, dealing 13.7 B as an Exorcist | Miko | Plague Doctor.
There’s nothing much to discuss about this week’s cleric rankings really, though it is a shame that Chaplain didn’t make it into the rankings this week. While the class does shine in content that other DPS builds suffer in (mainly higher defense/magic defense content), it is rather disheartening that the inverse is somewhat true as well, as seen in this week’s cleric rankings. Plague Doctor continues to be a versatile class with stellar DPS that can either be a class the whole build works around with Druid + Miko/Krivis or a class that can support other classes, while the Exorcist | Miko combo continues to be a solid pair with plenty of 3rd class options to choose from.
[Scout]
(Read this part at your own risk)
- Klaipeda:
- 1st and 3rd place: BM-W | Toy-ta Clown | Assassin
- 2nd place: Audito | Nissin Rogue | Assassin
- Fedimian:
- 1st to 3rd place: BM-W | Toy-ta Clown | Assassin
- Telsiai:
- 1st to 3rd place BM-W | Toy-ta Clown | Assassin
- 1st
- Silute:
- 1st and 3rd place: BM-W | Toy-ta Clown | Assassin
- 2nd place: Audito | Toy-ta Clown | Assassin
The Scout Car Manufacture Inc continues to produce stellar cars with excellent speed and mileage under the Assassin Range even after the disastrous tragedy that is the GT-SR line, as the steadfast BM-W and the state-of-the-art Toy-ta Clown continues to carry the company’s earnings and reputation. The Assassin Range has performed especially well in the Telsiai Circuit with its top driver, Tyhz, scoring 15.7 B with his BM-W | Toy-ta Clown | Assassin line-up after abandoning the GT-SR to triumph the performances of his peers across all circuits.
With the fall of the GT-SR joining the list of bygone cars like the Fard Corsair and so on, the huge majority of the customers driving the Assassin Range have switched over to the reliable BM-W though the company still intends to maintain support for any remaining GT-SR owners. With that said, the release of the Toy-ta Clown, along with old favorites like the Nissin Rogue and the Audito, has left many customers spoilt for choice as their garage size can only fit 2 cars. Scout Car Manufactore Inc played it smart by releasing the Toy-ta Clown after the death of the GT-SR, sparking new hype and interest in the line while also reigniting interest from old customers who have abandoned the line due to the huge faults the GT-SR had that lead to its downfall, resulting in their growing customer base. While preferences with local customers have shown their favor towards the BM-W | Toy-ta Clown and Toy-ta Clown | Nissin Rogue pair, customers here have instead opted for the Audito over the Nissin Rogue, so perhaps the charms of the Nissin Rogue didn’t quite translate over very well to this market.
