Patch Notes 03-FEB-2026

Server Changelog

  • Change: Explorer tents, military tents, and pavilions can now be repaired and improved. They are now created and improved using Cloth Tailoring skill instead of Fine Carpentry, since they are made of cotton.
    • Note: Explorer and military tents must be carried in order to improve or repair them.
  • Change: Starter tents and explorer tents can now be colored using 750 grams of dye. A special white base texture is now applied to them when colored, to allow the color of the dye to be more apparent.
  • Change: KoS mechanics have been changed due to abuse of the feature. These changes are limited to PvE servers.
    • Tower guards will no longer enforce KoS, as they also sometimes used to attack the player in perimeter.
    • Spirit templars will only enforce KoS on deed area, rather than sometimes chasing the player in perimeter.
    • Event messages sent to the player on a KoS list have been clarified to reflect these changes.
  • Change: Quality of artifacts on Defiance has been changed to 90.
