On Wednesday, July 22, Sol: Enchantment (hereinafter 'Sol') released an update featuring new collections and Guild Raids. The accompanying developer notes also announced the delay of the Healer class and World Content, along with details on future updates. Let's take a look at the changes from this patch and what to expect in August.

The first highlight of this patch is the addition of new collections. A large number of equipment collections have been added, focusing on Unique grade gear. Additionally, collections related to the 'Eirínn's Bracelet' and 'Sword's Survival Seal'—which were previously unavailable—have been introduced. Both the Eirínn's Bracelet and the Sword's Survival Seal can be registered when enhanced to +2 or +3.

A collection list for 'Conquest Tokens,' obtainable through the newly added Guild Raid content, has also been included. Furthermore, the requirements for the 'God Armor Seal' and 'Spirit Seal' have been adjusted to allow for collection, addressing previous issues where they were too abundant and had limited uses.

The 'Caltheon Hunter's Token,' obtainable through achievements, has also been added. Players can earn these tokens by hunting a specific number of monsters in designated hunting grounds, and these tokens can also be used to boost stats through collections.

New Guild Raid content has been introduced. Players can participate by using a 'Guild Raid Summon Stone,' which has a low drop rate from 'Guild Supply Chests' purchased via the Guild Merchant NPC. Two types of Summon Stones have been added: 'Eirínn' and 'Black Sun Razael,' each with a 1% drop rate from the Guild Supply Chest.

Guild Supply Chests can be purchased by characters level 45 or higher in a guild level 8 or higher. Defeating a Guild Boss grants all participants 'Conquest Tokens' in addition to standard boss rewards. These tokens can be used for crafting or collections to create 'Divine Protection,' which provides Physical Defense +3 and Damage Reduction +3 for 10 minutes.

The research system has undergone significant changes. Six new research options for Rare grade items have been added, and the currency required for levels 1-2 of Unique item research has been changed from Research Stones to Nine. The cost has been set at 510k Nine per previously researched stone. It remains to be seen if this change will serve as an effective new sink for Nine.

Developer notes outlining future plans were released alongside the patch. The addition of the Healer class and the opening of the 3rd floor of the Tower of God, originally scheduled for late July, have been postponed to late August. Several major quality-of-life improvements slated for August were also revealed.

The first improvement concerns Auto Hunt. The update will display the range centered on the starting point of Auto Hunt and separate the Auto Hunt range and Manner Mode settings from an account-wide basis to a character-specific basis. A general overhaul of the Auto Hunt system is also planned, with a target implementation date in mid-August.

The second improvement involves party functions. To address frustrations regarding difficulty in locating party members or poor communication, the team will add markers to guide players toward party members. Additionally, party leaders will be able to mark specific users or targets for coordinated focus fire. These features are expected in mid-August.

Finally, PK penalties will be improved. To address Inheritor complaints regarding indiscriminate PK across various servers, the team will introduce a new, tiered penalty system based on destruction tendencies. Potential measures include increasing NPC shop prices based on the player's alignment level and a personal 'Warning System' that allows players to mark targets for priority scanning, similar to guild hostility settings.

New limited-time packages have been released. Players can use 'Lutein's Spec Up Spellbook' obtained from these packages to craft Epic Skills, Legend Accessories, and more. Other items such as Infinite Growth Potions, Infinite HP Absorption Elixirs, and Infinite Damage Reduction Elixirs are also available, so interested Inheritors should check them out.
