[Lv. 54 ADV Support] Mediah: Mediah Merchants Union Helm
[Lv. 55 ADV Support] Mediah: Black Abyssal Weapon

Because of these changes, we have had to modify the rewards of the previous subquests so that they no longer award the items that are given during the main quests.

 

Item Removed From Subquests	Items Added to the Subquests
Beia’s Black Magic Gloves	Pure Magical Black Stone x2
Derek’s Light Leather Shoes	Pure Magical Black Stone x2
Mediah Merchants Union Helm	Pure Magical Black Stone x2
Black Abyssal Weapon	Gold Bar 10G x4

 

New accessories have been added to the Valencia Main Quest Line. The Red Sand Crystal Ring replaces accessories currently given from Valencia quests. Rings previously earned through the quests will remain, however they will no longer be obtainable.

The Red Sand Crystal ring can be enhanced to Tri, and requires ‘Freed Magical Black Stones’ to enhance and ‘Freed Magical Shards’ to repair durability. Unlike other accessories, the Red Sand Ring is not consumed during a failed enhance, and will lose durability like weapons and armor. These items can be obtained throughout the Valencia main quests, and the Stones and Shards required can also be gained from the following Daily Subjugation Quests in Valencia.

 

Valencia Subjugation Quests

Area	Quest Name
Bashim Base	[Daily] Hostile Tribe
Taphtar Plain	[Daily] Redeeming Our Land
Waragon Nest	[Daily] Moria’s Fervor for Research
Basilisk Den	[Daily] Unsubdued Grudge
Cadry Ruins	[Daily] You Wanna Tango?
Gahaz Bandit’s Lair	[Daily] Subduing the Force
Crescent Shrine	[Daily] Fuming Frenzy
Desert Naga Temple	[Daily] Disruption
Titium Valley	[Daily] Deep Grudge

 

The Red Sand Crystal Ring cannot use memory fragments, and requires the sole use of ‘Freed Magical Shards’ to restore durability.
Using a ‘Freed Magical Shard’ will recover the Max Durability by 20, and when used in conjunction with Artisans Memory, will recover 80.

 

Region	Item Removed	Item Added
Valencia	Sahazad’s Ring of Monarch	Red Sand Crystal Ring
	Barhan’s Ring of Conquest
	Manmehan’s Ring of Gold
	Saya’s Ring of Eternity

 

You will be able to collect the ring from the following missions.
