Just ahead of the holiday, NCsoft announced that Will of Iron was on its way to Blade & Soul, with the Rise of the Silversteel storyline, the Hangar 0 dungeon, a third class spec for Destroyers, and a rebalance of Heart upgrades too.
It’s that last element that the studio has deep-dived this week. “The cost of upgrading a Heart has been re-balanced, and a new Heart Tier, Majestic, will be available,” NCsoft writes in a new dev blog covering the new glove and ring tier and transmute cost adjustments. Players can also expect a fishing overhaul!
“There’s going to be some changes to fishing that will help all anglers get the best catch! Fishing can now be done automatically when using Auto-Bait or a Taigong’s Auto-Bait. The following changes have been made to accommodate this new system: Maximum Leisure Points have been increased to 4,500 (around 12 hours of auto-fishing). Two new Fishing Baits that can only be used for auto-fishing are now available: Auto-Bait can be purchased from any Associate Master Angler. Taigong’s Auto-Bait increases the chance of catching rare fish. This new bait can only be purchased from the Hongmoon Store at a price of 20 NCoin for 100 baits once per day. Premium Members have the option to purchase additional bait at 45 NCoin for 300 baits once per day. The amount of Angler’s Pearls acquired from fishing has been adjusted.”
The whole update drops on December 11th. NCsoft is promising to stream a preview of the update tomorrow afternoon, so maybe poke your nose in for that.
Sharpen your axes–we'll be previewing the Will of Iron update with a livestream on December 5 at 11 a.m. PST.
