Following the Sanctuary of Heaven, the Hellfire Temple has been released. With daily dungeons alone now consuming four hours and offering more EXP than the first floor of the Tower of God, players are expected to level up faster. Many hunting grounds beyond the Hyde Swamp have also seen changes; here is a summary of the new dungeon information and the week's Sol: Enchantment news.

The addition of the level 53 daily dungeon, Hellfire Temple, has set new growth targets for players. Previously, the main goal was reaching level 52 for unlimited Nine Core production, but the arrival of the Hellfire Temple—which drops the high-value 'Equipment Enchant Scroll (Cursed)'—has prompted players who had stalled at level 52 to resume leveling.

With EXP efficiency surpassing the first floor of the Tower of God, following the Sanctuary of Heaven added on August 5, completing the four-hour daily dungeon course has become the new standard routine. The schedule feature also allows players to link both dungeons, which has been well-received by those who prefer efficient Auto Hunt.

However, hunting in the Hellfire Temple requires careful preparation. The monsters are noticeably stronger than those in the Sanctuary of Heaven, so carelessness can lead to death. It is recommended to temporarily disable area-of-effect skills or ensure you have sufficient buffs before heading in. Using regular potions is also a viable strategy.

The difficulty of the Hyde Swamp was adjusted by reducing the duration of the poison effect. While the reduction in potion consumption is noticeable, players report that it is not yet enough for characters with lower stats to immediately sustain infinite potion hunting. Following the news of the difficulty nerf, Hyde Swamp has become overcrowded. Players with insufficient stats or those facing overcrowding continue to migrate to alternative hunting grounds like the Undead Forest.

High-level hunting grounds have also received additional item drops. Orc Fortress and Orc Base have been bolstered by reduced monster damage and the addition of Nine Lump drops. Furthermore, hunting grounds such as the Altar of Shadows, Beast Pass, Dragon Valley, and Dragon Canyon have had Legend and Epic grade items added to their drop tables, drawing significant player interest. In particular, Beast Pass is seeing such a surge in players that some servers are reporting 'overlapping' hunting.

The stats for Epic and Legend grade armor have been increased. To ensure performance superiority over lower-grade equipment with high enchantments, base Defense has been increased by 2. Additionally, an extra 1% Damage option for Epic grade and 1.5% for Legend grade has been applied, increasing the value of high-end gear.

A Feud Player system has also been added to counter Random PK. By registering and managing specific targets, players receive notifications when a Feud Player logs in and sound alerts when they approach within the Mini-map range. This is designed to make responding to indiscriminate PK easier than before.

Starting Wednesday, August 12, the event dungeon 'Midsummer Forest' became available for 5 minutes daily. Players can acquire various consumables and 'Card Pieces,' which are materials for crafting exclusive spirits. The Watermelon Barrel spirits crafted from these pieces all provide higher EXP gain bonuses than existing spirits. Notably, the Golden Watermelon Barrel spirit, despite being Unique grade, offers the same 15% EXP gain bonus as Epic grade spirits, leading some players to delay entering the Tower of God.

The collection options completed with Watermelon Barrel spirits provide PvE Damage +2, HP recover rate +1, and MP recovery +1, drawing further interest. Some players have expressed that failing to complete the collection during this period would be detrimental to growth, leading them to manually hunt the rare Golden Watermelon Barrel monsters.

However, an emergency maintenance was conducted on Thursday, August 13, after it was discovered that the drop rates for some items were higher than intended. It is reported that the drop rates for Unique equipment blueprints and spirit Card Pieces were lowered, making them harder to obtain.

The release of a package containing a +3 Divine Accessory Selection Chest has caused fluctuations in the market price of high-enchantment accessories. As it has become easier to obtain desired +3 accessories—such as Attack Bracelets, Defense Bracelets, and Survival Seals—players are more actively attempting high-level enchantments. This has led to both players aiming for personal Spec up and others selling successful enchantments to earn Diamonds.

The increase in supply and high-enchantment attempts has led to immediate changes in the market price of packaged accessories. The price of the +5 El's Attack Bracelet Chest dropped from a high of 7500 Diamonds to a low of 5500. Similarly, the +5 El's Defense Bracelet Chest dropped from 6500 to 4,850, and the +5 Kal's Survival Seal Chest dropped from 6100 to 5,100, reflecting a general market shift.

Additionally, new event crafting items using Lutein's Spec up Spellbook have been added. These spellbooks can be used to craft Special God Armor, card summons, and Bonus Time Stones for major dungeons like the Tower of God, Sanctuary of Heaven, and Hellfire Temple. The account-wide crafting limit for the Supply Epic Skill Selection Chest has also been increased from 1 to 2.

The most talked-about event following the third God election is on the Kalteon 4 server. 'Han' from the Myeongga faction pulled off a last-minute upset, defeating the existing power that was widely expected to win a third consecutive term. Rumors that Han is a pure casual player who does not stream have piqued interest, and he was praised for immediately activating the God's power, a 10% server-wide EXP gain buff, upon taking office.

The Lindel 1 server, which was expected to decline after losing key personnel, reached #1 in Nine consumption, marking a new turning point. With cracks in the power structure following the departure of key members of the 'Cham-education' faction, the Sparta faction is launching a strong counterattack by investing large amounts of Nine. With the shift in major factions and massive resource consumption, the conflict on the Lindel 1 server is expected to intensify.

Meanwhile, Lindel 3, which had held the #1 spot in Nine consumption for four consecutive weeks, saw its consumption drop to 9th place, perhaps due to resource exhaustion. Conversely, on the regular servers in the Regina 1-5 regions, the existing Gods have successfully secured their third consecutive terms without allowing a single upset, solidifying their unchallenged dominance.
