The first major update, EPISODE 01 - GENESIS: Battlefield of the Gods, has been applied. Starting with the new Healer class, fresh content has arrived all at once, including inter-server content like Sky Island and Tower of the Gods 3F, the World Exchange, Constellations, and Sacred Chalices. Alongside these new features, competition that was once confined to individual servers shows signs of shifting to a world level. Here is a roundup of SOL: enchant news over the past week since the update.

The new Healer class, previously showcased at the Divine Power Conference before launch, has made its debut. As a support class equipped with recovery, protection, and resurrection skills, it also utilizes ice-based area-of-effect (AoE) attacks, presenting a distinct combat style compared to the existing Mage. Certain recovery and buff skills can be set to trigger automatically under specific conditions, making it well-suited for off-line and auto-hunting playstyles.

Immediately after release, players moved quickly to build new Healers. Some players rushed their leveling to reach Level 40 on day one, and various progression reviews were posted. Active discussions surged as posts sharing leveling strategies and detailed skill settings were published. Overall, players gave positive gameplay evaluations of the Healer class.

However, some players hesitate to level the new class because the Squad System was not expanded. The sentiment is that having already invested heavily into current squad characters makes abandoning existing alt characters awkward. Even so, with the GENESIS Stat-Up Elixir and the Infinite Blessed Growth Potion offering a massive 200% EXP boost, many players are stepping up to try out the Healer.

Highly anticipated world content has been updated. Alongside the World Exchange—where players can trade various items including Nine Cores—the Tower of the Gods 3F (released as a world dungeon) and the new Sky Island world battlefield have been added, bringing players from multiple servers within the same world together into a single hunting ground. Sky Island consists of four total sectors and can be accessed for 10 hours per week, dropping exclusive collection items and weathered gear. Additionally, past event monsters Watermelon Barrel and Golden Watermelon Barrel have reappeared, giving players who missed previous event rewards a chance to complete their collections.

On Sky Island, dedicated world bosses Gwint of the Sky and Drake of the Sky spawn every Wednesday and Saturday at 21:00. From the very first world boss spawn time, players from each server flocked in droves to secure major rewards, naturally sparking inter-server competition. Although clear server alliances have not yet been established due to it being early in the update, large-scale free-for-all battles involving forces from multiple servers have captured players' attention.

New growth features, Constellations and Sacred Chalices, have also been introduced. Constellations allow players to build stats by accumulating energy using Star Shards to activate stars. Star Shards can be purchased for 510,000 Nine, establishing a new Nine sink alongside existing Research. The Sacred Chalice is an item assigned to a new slot that provides an innate boost to HP Potion recovery; through enhancement, players can also gain Damage Reduction and Damage Increase stats, leading some players to quickly enhance and share screenshots of their progress. On the other hand, many felt Constellations were somewhat underwhelming, as they cost as much Nine as Research but only offer defense and recovery stats.

An Accessory Enhancement system was added as well. Rare-grade or higher necklaces, belts, earrings, rings, and bracelets can now be enhanced up to +5 without equipment destruction upon failure. In addition, new collections utilizing enhanced accessories have been introduced, creating new uses for these items.

Quality-of-life improvements were applied to Squad Mode. Off-line play is now supported even while in Squad Mode. Additionally, auto-hunting no longer cancels when switching squad characters after entering a world boss, and squad switching is now permitted without restriction even while in a party with other players. Furthermore, existing chat logs are preserved during character swaps, allowing players to continuously monitor chat.

A targeting system was also added to combat. Party leaders can now mark specific targets, and changes were made to auto-combat. While characters previously roamed within a designated radius to search for and attack nearby monsters, the system now restricts attacks strictly to monsters located inside the set range. Alongside this change, auto-combat range settings have been subdivided into 10m, 15m, 20m, 25m, 30m, and Unlimited.

However, feedback in player communities regarding the reworked auto-combat system notes that it feels somewhat unpolished. While off-line Squad functionality was well received, players noted that narrower range settings left characters stranded in place or reduced hunting efficiency. Concerns were also raised that the "prioritize attacking monsters" option fails to activate when hit by monsters outside the set boundary, increasing the risk of character death. Consequently, players are advising one another to re-evaluate hunting spots and readjust auto-hunting ranges.

Meanwhile, the Convert feature—which raised high expectations for obtaining higher-tier items—was temporarily postponed due to technical errors. System fixes, including world chat bug resolutions, were performed alongside this. Additionally, developer notes previewed upcoming measures for Wednesday, September 9 to ease the burden of Healer progression, including a "Holy Water of Potential" extraction feature and Character Slot Expansion Tickets.

In line with the major update, a surge of events supporting player progression on multiple fronts has begun. First, to support the new class, creating a Healer character and completing the tutorial by Wednesday, September 23 rewards an "Infinite Blessed Growth Potion (200%)," effective up to Level 50. Alongside this, a Healer release check-in event running through Wednesday, October 14 and discounted Sky Island entry fees through Wednesday, September 23 have been introduced.

The "Pilgrimage of Healing Journey" event has also launched, offering Dungeon Recharge Stones, Skill Books, and various consumables as rewards. Players can purchase dice daily from the Nine Shop to participate, and completing the board 20 times grants a choice of one Rare Skill. On top of this, the extension of the previous Nine gain boost event, along with Tower of the Gods 3F entry and Teleport Scroll crafting events, has improved hunting efficiency for high-geared players.

Among the many rewards and events revealed, the item receiving the highest praise was undoubtedly the Infinite Health Potion craftable via the GENESIS coupon. This infinite potion, which eliminates the ongoing cost of standard potion consumption, can be guaranteed once per account via coupon crafting. If you have not claimed it yet, craft it before time runs out.

Alongside the update, the game's first paid pass product, the Pure White Successor Premium Pass, was released. Players can choose between a Regular Pass accessible for 500,000 Nine (in-game currency) and a Premium Pass purchasable for 33,000 won. It delivers various progression rewards, including collection items Lutein's Blessing and Radiant Lutein's Blessing, God Armor and Spirit Body Summon Tickets, and Enhancement Scrolls.

Furthermore, Lutein's Blessing granted by the pass includes timed collection effects that boost character stats, making it a primary focus for players seeking to upgrade their specs and level up the new Healer. Being the first paid pass, players debated the efficiency and value of the Premium Pass compared to Regular rewards, though overall reactions to the rewards were largely positive.

In line with the addition of the new Sacred Chalice equipment, "Weekly Seha's Sacrifice Sacred Chalice Package" and "Seha's Sacrifice Sacred Chalice Package" debuted in the shop. The Sacred Chalice is a exclusive-slot item added in this update, offering HP Potion recovery boost as its base stat while securing powerful combat stats like Damage Reduction and Damage Increase as it is enhanced.

These packages immediately supply enhancement scrolls for the Sacred Chalice. They are proving useful for players aiming to rapidly scale their stats by pairing them with the Infinite Potion provided via the event coupon. The packages are available as weekly and standard purchases to fit player needs. In addition, new summon products aiding Spirit Body acquisition—such as Weekly GENESIS Summon Package, Daily GENESIS Summon Package, and GENESIS Summon Box—have also debuted as part of the major update lineup.

With the application of the major update, the stage for competing over Divine Power has expanded to a world scale. As integrated content like the World Exchange and the Sky Island world battlefield increases contact with factions from other servers, the addition of High God to the Deity Election categories is fueling faction rivalry.

In particular, initial inter-server clashes flared up around the world bosses that spawn on Sky Island every Wednesday and Saturday at 21:00. While battles currently resemble chaotic free-for-alls rather than organized coalition warfare, player reception has been favorable regarding the ability to compete directly against Successors from other servers.

Players must now adapt to an environment where managing relationships with outside server factions is as crucial as defending home servers. Once server interests settle through fighting for the new High God title and Sky Island world bosses, future Deity Elections are expected to display entirely new alliance and competition dynamics.
