In the October 14 update for SOL: enchant, restrictions on Ninecore crafting and hunting ground settings were adjusted once again. The level requirement for unlimited Ninecore crafting was raised from Level 53 to Level 54, and the Unstable Ninecore drop event continues with changes to its target hunting grounds. Additionally, Level 50 and Level 60 zones for Nightmare Calpheon, as well as four Secret Realm locations on Sky Island, have been added.

Monster density and placement, which drew significant feedback following last week's update, were re-adjusted. The monster density reduction measure applied on October 8 was reverted, and separate adjustments were implemented in certain hunting zones to reduce player deaths caused by excessive density. Furthermore, growth-related changes were added, including high-tier conversion for +9 armor, the Advanced Seal of Nine, and new collection entries.

The minimum level requirement for the unlimited Ninecore crafting recipe, which uses 1 Essence of Life and 100,000 Nine, was increased from Level 53 to Level 54. The weekly 20-craft limit recipe available from Level 52 remains unchanged. The development team explained that crafting restrictions were adjusted based on current supply levels, crafting volume, and character progression speed.

Opinions regarding crafting restrictions had been divided even prior to the update. While some players argued that the level requirement should be raised higher to reduce supply, others expressed frustration with the repeated increases to the required crafting level.

The Unstable Ninecore event will not end. The drop locations have changed from the previous Hidden Cave, Nine Mine, and Grana Sanctuary to Shadow Altar, Beast Pass, Calpheon North Gate, and Dragon Valley. The target regions will continue to be rotated regularly in the future.

Some players are expressing concerns over hunting difficulty in the new regions. In particular, feedback highlights the intense competition in narrow areas like Shadow Altar and Beast Pass, as well as the pressure from high monster density at Calpheon North Gate, making it worth monitoring actual combat conditions.

Monster spawn mechanics were changed once again. According to developer notes, after adjustments were made to distribute monsters evenly, death rates in hunting zones spiked significantly, even among top-tier players, leading to a rollback to the previous system.

This time, reflecting feedback from Divine Right holders on each server, the density of monsters around characters was increased once more. However, to prevent excessive deaths caused by overwhelming density, separate mitigation measures were applied to certain hunting grounds. While detailed player feedback is still limited, as adjustments vary by hunting location, players should re-check their auto-hunting radius and positioning settings.

Dungeon Travel Stones for Tower of God 1F through 3F and Sky Island Zones 1 through 6 can now be stored in the warehouse. Players can now transfer travel stones to other characters on the same account. This change was also implemented based on suggestions from Divine Right holders.

Nightmare Calpheon has expanded to three total zones with the addition of Level 50 and Level 60 tiers. In these new zones, EXP earned from killing monsters and Divine Seal drop rates are increased. Since all Nightmare Calpheon zones share the same entry time limit, it is recommended to check which zone you are entering beforehand.

Nightmare Calpheon is a hunting area where players can farm without engaging in PvP. Higher-level zones were added after determining that the efficiency of the existing zone was falling behind character progression speeds; testing confirmed that monsters in the Level 60 zone yield approximately 100,000 EXP each. As EXP gains have increased, monsters have also grown stronger, so players should choose a zone suited to their gear stats.

Secret Realms, which are small-scale hunting grounds, have been added to Sky Island Zones 1 through 4. Secret Realms cannot be reached on foot; using Random Teleport will move players randomly to either a standard zone or a Secret Realm. Teleportation costs 50,000 Nine per attempt, and dying or returning while inside a Secret Realm will send the player back to the Sky Island lobby.

Sky Island is scheduled for another update next week. According to developer notes, starting October 21, the matchmaking scope will be expanded, allowing players to encounter users from other worlds in addition to those from their own world. Detailed matchmaking rules and related events will be revealed at a later date.

The high-tier conversion crafting system previously applied to weapons has been expanded to armor. Using +9 Uncommon, Rare, and Epic armor as materials, players can craft armor recipe blueprints of the next tier up, allowing +9 Epic armor to be used to craft Legendary armor blueprints.

Previously, fully enhanced gear was usually kept in use or redirected to other purposes, but with this change, +9 armor can now be utilized to craft the next tier. Players holding fully enhanced Epic armor now have an additional option when preparing to craft Legendary armor.

Crafting can be found under the existing High-Tier Conversion menu. Required materials vary depending on the armor type and rarity tier, so players with +9 gear are advised to compare the higher-tier blueprints they can craft against their current gear utility rather than using them immediately.

A new shop item purchasable with Nine, the Advanced Seal of Nine, has been added. Starting from Level 50, chest items can be purchased for 510,000 Nine, subject to a server-wide daily limit of 30 purchases. The seal's base stat grants Accuracy +2, and it can be exchanged back for Nine after enhancement. A +1 Seal exchanges for 1.53 million Nine, while a +5 Seal exchanges for 123.93 million Nine.

New limited-time and permanent collections utilizing the seals have also been introduced. Limited-time collections provide stats such as PvE Accuracy, Physical Defense, increased EXP Gain, and PvE Damage, while permanent collections grant benefits including Weapon Damage, Magic Amplification, Physical Defense, Damage Reduction, Critical Hit Rate, and increased Nine Acquisition Rate.

New collections utilizing the Sacrificial Grail of Seaa were added as well. Players who already own or are enhancing a Grail should check the new collection entries. New packages containing Grails and Summon Tickets have also been introduced, with sale and usage periods varying by product.

The attendance check reward system has been updated. Players can now claim daily bonus attendance rewards even after completing the main attendance board. Alongside the patch, an Autumn Check-in Event running through November 25 has begun. Completing all event attendance days rewards players with 2 Epic Gear Selection Chest Shards, 10 Potential Shards, 15 Rare Gear Blueprint Shards, 11 Trait Stones, 11 Research Stones, and 35 Gear Enhancement Scrolls.

Several bug fixes were also applied. Issues resolved include characters moving while at 0 HP after dying, monsters being unattackable in certain areas of Tower of God 3F, and the Mage's Mana Mastery buff dispelling upon death. Separately, icons for Ninecore, Concentrated Ninecore, and Unstable Ninecore have been updated.

PC players should take note of upcoming changes next week. Following maintenance on October 21, launching SOL: enchant on PC will require installing and logging into Google Play Games. Users who have already installed it and signed in can continue playing without extra steps. Reorganization of the shop's Diamond tab and cross-world matchmaking for Sky Island are also scheduled for the same day, with details to be revealed in the next update.
