In Update 3.7, we’ve made lots of improvements to the rankings and enchantment systems. Read on to learn about what changes are coming.

Ranking Changes

• Rank Reset: All existing Abyss ranks will be reset, with all Elyos and Asmodians starting out as Rank 9 Soldiers.
• Changes to PvP AP(PvP AP is earned by defeating enemy players on maps where this is permitted for the respective ranking season):
  • If your opponent has fewer PvP AP than required for the reward, their remaining AP will be awarded.
  • If your opponent has no AP, the minimum AP per rank will be awarded.
• AP Limits Removed: The limit on earning AP for killing the same target during a short period of time has been removed.
• Ranking Updates:
  • Rankings are updated immediately after earning points.
  • Abyss skills are assigned based on the rankings.
• Inactive Characters: Characters who have been inactive for 4 weeks will be removed from the rankings.
• Deleted Characters: Deleted characters will be removed from the rankings with the next update.
• Class Change: PvP AP ranks for characters who have changed classes will remain unchanged, and then updated in the next cycle.
• No PvP AP in Lawless Zones: PvP AP can no longer be earned in lawless zones.
• PvP Seasons:
  • Each PvP season runs for several weeks. (The length may differ depending on updates and the like.)
  • Ranks will be updated immediately after earning points.
  • After the season ends, PvP AP earned during the season will be automatically converted into Total AP.

Enchantment System Changes

A new guaranteed +10 enchantment system has been added. This makes it possible to enchant equipment to +10 guaranteed, as long as certain requirements have been met.

• Valid for equipment between +0 and +5.
• Requires enchantment stones, where the amount and minimum level depend on the equipment rank/level. Min. Enchantment Stone Level:
  • Normal: +0
  • Rare: +5
  • Heroic: +15
  • Fabled: +35
  • Eternal: +50

Enchantment Stones Required per Level:

• +0 → 10
• +1 → 9
• +2 → 8
• +3 → 7
• +4 → 6
• +5 → 5

Additional enchantment stones will be listed in the item cube, though only the required number will be used. The system ensures that enchanting gear to +10 is guaranteed, as long as all requirements have been met.
