MIR4 April 19 Patch: Altar of Darkness, Skill Balance, more

MIR4 has released its April 19 patch, bringing several updates, such as Altar of Darkness, class skill rebalancing, and a new Epic Light Spirit. There are also changes in the Sealing conditions of NFT characters. Check out the highlights of MIR4 April 19 patch notes below.

Altar of Darkness

Altar of Darkness is a new competitive mode available through Expedition. The Natives (Defense) and Expedition members (Offense) get to start a conflict over the Altar of Darkness, which is summoned daily between 21:00 and 22:00 on each Valley 4F (Bicheon/Snake/Redmoon).

• In the center of each Valley 4F, the Altar of Darkness is summoned. (An icon will appear on the minimap)
• Players can join this content via Expedition.

Conditions of victory in the battle at the Altar of Darkness

• Expedition members (Offense): Destroy the Altar of Darkness summoned on each Valley 4F.
• Natives (Defense): Protect the Altar of Darkness summoned on each Valley 4F.

How Altar of Darkness works

• The war of the Altar of Darkness divides players into two groups: Offense and Defense.
• Attack: Expedition members are the players who traveled from other servers via Expedition.
• Defense: Natives are the players whose original server is the current server.
• Battle Schedule: Daily, from 21:00 to 22:00 (Based on Regional Server Times)
• The Darksteel mining rate of the Valley will reduce by 20% if the Altar of Darkness is destroyed. The destroyed Altar of Darkness will be resummoned in the same location at 20:00, three days after the last destroyed date, and the battle may restart from 21:00.

Status of the Altar of Darkness

• Protected: The altar is in an unsealed state but is currently unavailable to attack.
• Sealed: The altar is in a sealed state and unattackable.
• Summoning: The altar is currently getting resummoned following its destruction in the previous battle (20% Decreased Darksteel mining rate)
• In battle: The altar is in a vulnerable state and is available for combat.

Rewards of Altar of Darkness Battle

Natives (Defense)

• [Success] Protected the Altar: No changes in Darksteel mining rate.
• [Fail] Failed to protect the Altar (Altar is destroyed): Reward box(es) can be obtained, but the Darksteel mining rate of the Valley will decrease.

Expedition members (Offense)

• [Success] Destroyed the Altar: Reward box(es) can be obtained, and the Darksteel mining rate of the Valley will decrease.
• [Fail] Failed to destroy the Altar: No change in Darksteel mining rate.

Skill Balance

After fixing abnormalities found on several skills during the update maintenance on April 5, the developers have closely examined the overall class balance. As a result, they've decided to change some of the skill damages of the two classes to correctly restore the overall balance and minimize the gap between classes.

In this latest update, Sorcerer and Taoist received skill buffs.

The skills of Radiance Dragon Mir are as follows:

• Cintamani Stone: Increases maximum HP by 800, PHYS ATK by 80, Spell ATK by 80, and accelerates Energy Gathering Time by 10%.

Territory Updates

The new MIR4 update brings changes to the types and effects of the Mandate in Bicheon Castle.

Expedition members can't receive the effect(s) of the mandate, even if the mandate is issued on the visiting server.

'Kingdom' tab was added in the Mail.

A message will be sent to the Mail when the mandate gets issued, but not when the mandate ends.

Content Updates

The Auto-combat range will be automatically adjusted while moving with certain contents.

• The Auto-combat range will automatically change into 'Unlimited' after entering certain contents. It will come back to the initial settings that the player has set after the end of the contents.

This update applies to Raid, Boss Raid, Clan Expedition, and Clan Challenge.

Draco Updates

Sealing conditions of NFT character were changed.

• Before: NFT character can't be sealed when the Conquest building is currently being promoted.
• Now: the NFT character can be sealed regardless of the promotion status of the Conquest building.

Promotion of the Conquest building will continue even if the NFT character is currently sealed. The remaining promotion time will be deducted during the sealed period, and if there is no remaining time at the point of unsealing, the promotion will be terminated.

Removal of XDRACO and NFT features on iOS version

Per iOS's policy, features of the XDRACO and NFT menu were removed from MIR4 (iOS version).

Features of the XDRACO menu and NFT are available through the MIR4 version downloaded from other supported platforms.
