[Patch] 07-12-2025

Dec 7, 2025

General

  • Saint Haven Defence has been retired.
  • A new portal has opened in the lv80 Garden: Duel Dragon Nest

Challenge SDN, GDN, DDN, and BDN, solo or with a friend. Clears are account-wide.

Upon entering, you’ll receive a permanent buff that increases Movement Speed and Action Speed, provides HP regeneration over time, and grants guaranteed Critical Hits throughout the run.

This is equalized content, designed primarily for beginner to intermediate players to learn the core mechanics of the game, but also great for returning players looking to catch up.
Geared players will also be interested in obtaining the new lv80 Elemental Conversion Jade, available at the Duel Nest Store (using your account shared Duel Nest Points) via Adventurer’s Guild Master Gunther.

  • Typhoon Kim Nest and Professor K Nest have returned, now as lv80 hardcore 6 player nests! Take on the challenge and earn materials to enhance your Elite Grade Dragon Jades up to +10

This content is designed and intended for experienced, well geared players that have already progressed through most of the game, seeking to min max their stats and enjoy a small challenge. Proper party composition, including roles like tanks and healers, is expected. Clears are account-wide.

Revive Limit: 1
However, a checkpoint system has been added: your entire team will be revived and fully healed after each boss encounter.

  • The applied Ice Stacks display feature is now back and slightly visually improved! You can disable it by ticking off "Display Ice Stack Count" in DNO Custom Settings.

  • A bunch of new options are now available disable and mute different in-game elements
  • Added some attempts at fixing the softlocks in some lv80 dungeons:

Relic of Fog
Eye of the Goddess
Wailing Wall (Chaos)
Praying Heart (Chaos)

  • There's now a new color available for players reaching 20k likes and above
  • All towns have been decorated for Christmas
  • Title screen has been updated
  • Dropdown menus inside listboxes are now properly scrollable (e.g dropdowns in the DNO settings list UI)
  • Client performance improvements
  • Many backend upgrades and optimizations, including several new systems that will serve as the foundation for upcoming 90 cap, building internal tools to make the work easier and improving development workflows (things that might not be immediately visible to players but are essential for the long term)

Developer Note

Hey everyone,
I decided to split this patch into two parts so I could get some of the content out this weekend while still having enough time to properly finish the rest.
This update includes the new systems, backend improvements, and content mentioned above.

The next patch (planned for the next weekend) will include:

  • The ability to enhance Elite Dragon Jades, which are currently non-enhanceable but will be starting next patch
  • The Christmas Events (a bit different this year, we didn't want it to be the usual mindless grind)
  • A Cash Shop update
  • Plus some additional QoL tweaks and polish

This patch introduced a large number of backend changes and new systems (hence the length), most of which aren’t directly visible in game yet, but are very useful and some pretty essential for future updates and easier development going forward.
