DragonSaga Evolved Update
This update includes changes to various areas of the game. Which areas are affected and what has been changed is explained in the following sections.

Galaxy Dungeon
Protector of Stars Gear and Weapon

· Two of the three grades of the Protector of Stars Sets and Weapons have been removed. The [Hero] Version of the Protector of Stars Sets and Weapons remain and have been renamed by removing the grade tag [Hero] from the item names. Protector of Stars items of the old grades being equipped or residing in the inventory are automatically replaced by the new ones. This means the update will break 3-4 or 3-3 builds. However the Enchants/Socketed Cards and Soulcraft Effects remain untouched.

· A change to the new Protector of Stars set is, that the set stats previously given when equipped 3 parts of the set and 4 parts of the set have been swapped.

· PoS Set Items and PoS Weapons can not longer be transferred through the Account Vault.

· The new PoS Items can be created at NPC Crete like it was before. The materials needed to create the PoS Items have changed.

Galaxy Skill Socket Cards

The way how Galaxy Skill Socket Cards can be obtained has changed. The cards can no longer be obtained from NPC Crete and do not longer rely on Galaxy Dungeon Materials. The Skill Card drop has been removed from the Galaxy Dungeon.

All Galaxy Skill Cards have been replaced by new ones. They no longer have different "card levels" which means only one variation for each card is now existing.

The cards can now be obtained at NPC Shady.


To get the first card (Skill Level +1) you need to exchange a new ingredient called Zodiac Element Stone. One Zodiac Element Stone is needed for the first card. For the next card (Skill Level +2) you need to trade 2 of the previous card (Skill Level +1) cards, for the Skill Level +3 card you need to trade 3x Skill Level +2 Cards and so on. The Zodiac Element Stone is only needed to obtain the Skill Level +1 Card.

Zodiac Element Stone

A Zodiac Element Stone can be obtained from NPC Shady by exchanging Zodiac Elements Fragments.

Zodic Nature, Fire, Dark and Ice Fragments

The Zodiac Element Fragments can be gotten by doing a repeatable quest you can start at NPC Shady (remote accept and complete is possible). NPC Shady will ask to slay bosses in Expert Mode Dungeons. One boss per Zodiac Element Fragment. 4 Quests are available:

You will get 2 of the particular Zodiac Element Fragments when the quest is completed.

To obtain a Zodiac Element Stone you need all kind of Zodiac Element Fragments to trade.
NPC Shady offers 4 different "speeds" to obtain one Zodiac Element Stone.

The completely free Way
20x Zodiac Fire Fragment
20x Zodiac Ice Fragment
20x Zodiac Nature Fragment
20x Zodiac Dark Fragment

The cheap Way
12x Zodiac Fire Fragment
12x Zodiac Ice Fragment
12x Zodiac Nature Fragment
12x Zodiac Dark Fragment
1x Card Insurance Scroll


The quick Way
6x Zodiac Fire Fragment
6x Zodiac Ice Fragment

3x Zodiac Fire Fragment
3x Zodiac Ice Fragment
3x Zodiac Nature Fragment

To extract an already socketed Zodiac Skill Card (new Version) Zodiac Element Stones are required.

Important Behavior Changes

· The old Zodiac Skill Cards can't be extracted anylonger, they remain on your gear until you oversocket them

· The old Zodiac Skill Cards which are used for rings can still stack their levels (having a Skill +2 and another Skill +2 card for the same skill on both ring slots it will result in Skill +4). This behavior has changed. If you mix an old card and a new card of the same skill or put 2 new cards of the same skill on ring items on both slots the Skill increase does not stack. Instead the higher one will be used.

· The Zodiac Skill Cards can no longer be sold/traded.They still can be shared through the Account Vault.

Old Skill Cards residing in the inventories are automatically replaced by the new cards.




Dungeon of Destiny

Dr.Tesler Changes
The Valor quest line (the one where you were able to show Dr. Tesler your PoS set and got a [Normal] Fifth Hero Grade set) has been removed. The possibility to show Dr. Tesler you Ice Dragon Set to get the [Normal] Fifth Hero Grade Set remains.

The Fifth Hero Set trade has been removed from NPC Tesler. Instead after completing the Destiny Questline, Dr. Tesler's Brother Sasha Tesler appears and offers the trade.

Essences of Destiny
The Essence of Mirinae, Essence of Skype, Essence of Parmir, Essence of Belkan and Essence of Destiny are now obsolete. They have been removed from the Boss drops. They can no longer be traded or sold but sold to an NPC Shop for a bit of silver.

Instead you can now obtain a Polluted Essence of Destiny by doing a repeatable quest you can get from PeriBot-5 (the quest can be remote accepted and remote completed). After defeating Destiny and completing the quest PeriBot-5 gives you one Polluted Essence of Destiny.

To obtain the Fifth Hero Set at NPC Sasha Tesler you need to get Polluted Essences (for the [Normal] Grade Set) resp. Concentrated Essences for the other 2 grades.

The Concentrated Essences can be gotten from NPC PeriBot-5's Trade Menu.

Like NPC Shady Peribot-5 offers 2 ways to obtain Concentrated Essences.

The completely free Way
You can get 1 Concentrated Essence by exchanging 3 Polluted Essences for it.

The quick Way
You can get 1 Concentrated Essence by exchanging 1 Polluted Essence and 1 Essence Purifier for it.
The Essence Purifier can be purchased in the Item Mall.

Chaos Energy Dust
When killing Destiny there is a rare chance Destiny rewards you with 10x Chaos Energy Dust (1% chance per given reward) or 15x Chaos Energy Dust (0.25% chance per given reward).

150 of the Chaos Energy Dust can be exchanged at PeriBot-5 for 1 Polluted Essence of Destiny.

The Chaos Energy Dust can be sold in the open market by characters Level 50+. This is a new form of a trade item which can only be sold once.The moment someone bought it it turns into an unsellable and untradable item. So be careful to only buy the amount you need on the character to want it.

More on one-time-sellable items below.


One Week Transition Phase for Dungeon of Destiny Essences
Until August 2, 11:00 Server Timethe old DoD Essences can be traded for 1 Polluted Essence each at PeriBot-5. You will get 1 Polluted Essence if you trade one of these:

Port of the Winds – Windy Farm

The "Gathering Permission"
With this update it is no longer possible to gather materials on the Windy Farm limitless. To be able to gather materials on the Windy Farm you first need to complete a repeatable quest you can get from NPC Midas. After completing the quest, Midas will give you a gather permission with which you are able do gather materials AFK on the Windy Farm for 1:30h (the clock does not count down while you are offline). After 1:30h it is not longer possible to gather any materials unless you complete Midas' quest again.

It is not possible to stack the effect.

The quests are differently for specific level ranges. You need to kill the end boss of a given mission map X times (depends on the mission map).
You need to do the quest solo! It will not complete when the boss is killed in a party. Also you must not be in a solo party. The party must be disbanded before entering the mission map.

The missions are as follows:

Level 20-29: Kill Alvida 8 Times
Level 30-39: Kill Lord of the Knight 8 Times
Level 40-49: Kill Queen Vella 10 Times
Level 50-59: Kill Burlune 10 Times
Level 60-69: Kill Alexandre 12 Times
Level 70-79: Kill Kasharp 12 Times
Level 80+: Kill Harkon 14 Times

Change: When gathering materials no fatigue is used up anymore.

Soulcraft Shift and Enchant Shift Behavior Change

Enchant Shift
It is no longer possible to shift enchant grades between Gear and Item Mall items.
Enchants can still be shifted between two Gear Items or two Item Mall Items respectively.

Soulcraft Shift
It is no longer possible to shift soulcraft effects between Gear and Item Mall items.
The created Soulforce Capsule "remembers" the item Type the soulcraft effects are coming from and can only be injected into the same item type (Gear or Item Mall respectively).

This change affects all Soulforce Capsules created after this maintenance finished. Soulforce capsules created before today's maintenance can still be universally injected.


How to identify for which type a Soulforce Capsule is

A soulforce capsule which holds soulcraft effects for a regular gear item states Gear as target type. It can only be injected to regular gear.

A soulforce capsule which holds soulcraft effects for an Item Mall item states IM Gear as target type. It can only be injected to Item Mall Items.

If a soulforce capsule does not state any Target Type it is an old Soulforce Capsule which can be injected universally.

One-Time Sellable Items

We have introduced a new type of sellable Items: One-Time Sellable Items
This means that if you get items you will only be able to sell them once through the open market.
As soon as someone purchased them from you they will be unsellable for the buyer.

Currently the following items are now One-Time Sellable Items:

· Neve's Magic Essence

· Sword of the Fallen

· Chaos Energy Dust

· Essence Purifier (Item Mall)

How to identify if an item can be still sold or not

An item which can be sold once has a $ symbol at the lower left corner. The tooltip also states that it can be sold once. An item which already has been sold once and cannot be sold again has a crossed out $ symbol and the tooltip states that it cannot be sold again as red text.


Known Missing Things

New texts we added are not localized yet. We will localize the texts by the next regular maintenance. Until then the new texts appear in English language.
