Crystal2 — 0.1.4 · Gems and boosts

A smaller update than the last one, but two of these touch things you spend materials and Dragon Coins on.

Accessory gems no longer break

Socketing a gem into an accessory used to fail — up to 3 attempts in 10 at the higher socket grades — and a failed attempt destroyed the gem. Socketing now always succeeds. The gem is used up when you use it, and you keep the result.

Alongside that, upgrade items were not being consumed at all on channels 2, 3 and 4: a Stone Handbook, a Diamond or a gem could be used there over and over without ever running out. That was a configuration mistake on our side and it has been corrected — those items are now used up on every channel, exactly as they always were on channel 1. Nobody is being penalised for it and nothing is being taken back.

The boost deal works the way it is advertised

Account boosts in the Dragon Shop are "add any 3, the cheapest is free". Types and durations now mix freely. Before this, your picks had to share the same duration to count — so a basket holding two 7-day boosts and a 1-day boost was charged in full while the banner above it promised a free pick.

• Every price in the boost list is what it really adds to your bill — often 0 DC — instead of the sticker price.
• Step 2 offers the pick that actually completes the deal, not a cheaper one that does not.
• The checkout total adds up. The discount is no longer shown subtracted twice.
• Boosts appear in Recent Purchases, with their own filter and a FREE marker on the one you were given.
• The "a boost is about to run out" warning no longer fires on a boost with a week left on it.

Events are scheduled through December

The daily rotation — four events a day, metin and boss alternating through the afternoon, +50% EXP at 19:00, and the overnight metin run from 21:00 — is now filled in continuously for September and the rest of the year, with no gaps between months.

Mighty Ice Witch

The Mighty Ice Witch is now level 97, up from 89.

Fixes

• Players carrying very large amounts of yang are no longer disconnected and blocked when they switch to channel 2, 3 or 4.
• The Battle Pass handles new reward levels. If more levels are added while you are partway through a pass, your progress and the rewards you have already collected now show correctly instead of risking a crash.
• Stronger protection against connection flooding, on top of what the firewall already blocks.

Client 1.89 arrives automatically through the launcher.
