DK Square Event DK Square Grade: Party EXP Multiplier DK Square Grade EXP will be multiplied BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN RAID (expedition) party. The more players are in your raid party, the higher the EXP multiplier will be. DK Square Grade Experience has been increased (in addition to the party boost). Colosseum God of War Bracelet This bracelet is extremely important for PvP/PvE. However, it was previously only obtainable with a very low chance that was nearly impossible. We've revamped it so that you can get it with a 100% chance instead of a blind-hoped random chance. RNG Removal Added new Colosseum God of War exchange shop. God of War Bracelet (3 Days) Developer Comment: The GoW bracelet is extremely essential for PvP/PK. We want everyone, even new players to be able to enjoy all parts of the game, including PvP and PK -- which is why we have added this temporary version that is easy to obtain while everyone works on getting the permanent God of War. 10 Fight Tickets + 20 Champion Tokens Champion Bracelet 100 Fight Tickets + 500 Champion Tokens God of War Bracelet (Permanent) 180 Fight Tickets + 650 Champion Token + 1 Champion Bracelet Drop-Rate Adjustment Improved drop rate of Champion Tokens + Fight Ticket White Candy Earring The White Candy Earring is also an extremely important earring for the sake of balancing PvP and PvE related content. Because it's essential to be competitive, we have created a slightly nerfed version of it (White Candy Earring (Starter Version). White Candy Earring (Starter Version) White Candy Earring (Starter Version) is weaker than both Red Monkey earring and White Candy Earring -- however it allows new players to have something while they work toward Red Monkey + White Candy Earring items. How to get White Candy Earring A new tab has been to Rising Helion where the exchange table for White Candy Earring (starter version) and White Candy Earring can be exchanged. You can exchange 2x of any +7 Red Monkey Earring. Most people would chose to exchange the Red Monkey Earrings that have bad stats rolled on them 😉 Exchange: 2x Red Monkey Earring +7 -> White Candy Earring White Candy better than Red Monkey? In some cases no, in some cases yes. It depends on the build, set, and character. Some people may even have both and swap them during different competitive scenarios. Rising Helion Exchange Updated Perpetus Improvements Drop Improvements Foreman King Digger: Fixed an issue that caused drop rate to bug during events, increased drop rate of Dragon Tongue 30 Day Perpetus Added 30 day Perpetus (same as starter package -- not as good as permanent Perpetus) so people have it while they work toward permanent Perpetus necklace. 30 Day Perpetus package added to Rising Helion NPC + D-Shop DK Square + Rising Announcement System Raid (Expedition) parties have been enabled inside DK-Square. Fixed an issue with DK-Square where in some cases teams became mismatched. Rising Announcement System (part 1) has been activated. An announcement will trigger every time a new DK Square starts (before the 3min countdown ends). DK Square Grade Experience has been increased (in addition to the party boost). EVENT: DK Square Grade: Party EXP Multiplier DK Square Grade EXP will be multiplied BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN RAID (expedition) party. The more players are in your raid party, the higher the EXP multiplier will be. Bug Fixes / General Fixed bug with Kastrioti Ticket box not opening. D-Shop Bullions Fixed error when purchasing D-Shop Bullion (5000) from D-Shop Decreased D-Shop Bullion prices: D-Shop Bullion 1000: 1,050 -> 1,025 D-Shop Bullion 5000: 5,050 -> 5,025 D-Shop Bullion 10,000: 10,050 -> 10,025 NEW Website Feature: Smart Guide ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Full Rising 2023 News Post Coming Soon. For now, here are some things to get excited about: Rising UI + Announcement System (Rising Exclusive) If you played A9, you remember the custom Rising UI that is 100% developed by Dekaron Rising.

DK Square Announcements Dungeon Announcements Event/General Announcements PK Announcements Kill Feed DK Square MVP System New Content PvP Tournaments Guild PvP (Guild vs. Guild) Guild vs. PvE (guild kills monsters and guild with most monsters killed win) A new character that plays music 😉 A bunch of top secret, confidential stuff 😉 Performance (Early January) Game FPS 200FPS -> 400 FPS 99% of crashes will be fixed -- including Party Search crash Rollbacks/teleports will be massively improved Client load time will be massively improved

Pet Revamp Important: Pet system is subject to change. We're excited to release the pet system. The pet system is meant to be hard, but not impossible. A big problem we found (and fixed) was the fact that strong pets were extremely difficult to obtain. We have fixed this by increasing the rate on all pets that were extremely rare. It's important to note that pets should be one of the last things to work toward when building a character. For this reason, we have designed the system to be easier but also maintain some of its difficulty. RNG Removal Increased rate of getting a Unique Egg (Socket) when combining two Unique pets. Increased the rate of getting the better pets from Unique Egg and Unique Egg (Socket). Lowest original value was 0.06% chance. Minimum now is 8%. New "Best Pet-Gems Randombox" -- all gems inside have the same % and it only includes the best pet gems (unlike the original box that included 15+ useless items and was almost impossible to get the best gems) Pet Combination Success Rate (Normal + Normal -> Rare Pet) increased to 20% to make a rare egg (was 5%) Current Pet Drops Rare pets drop from Favnil's Dungeon (high) D-Shop Additions Cherabin's Light - Grants 100% change to make a Unique Pet Egg (Socketed) when combining pets. Awakening Ocarina - Wakes up pets for 30 days Soul Chain (Binded) - Adds 10 more chances to roll stats when using pets. Best Pet-Gem Randombox - all gems inside have the same % Rising Helion (F2P Exchange) Additions Awakening Ocarina - Wakes up pets for 30 days Soul Chain Reset (Binded) - Adds 10 more chances to roll stats when using pets. Best Pet-Gem Randombox - all gems inside have the same % How to Upgrade Pets Rare Pet Egg You can make a rare pet by combining two rare pet eggs, or one 1x rare + 1x normal Unique Pet Egg + (SOCKETED) Unique Pet Egg 2x rare pet eggs or 1x Unique + 1x Rare Cherabin's Light: 100% success rate of making socketed pet egg Note: (SOCKETED) Unique Pet Egg has HIGHER chances of getting a better pet. Revamped Pet Stats Original: There were only about 4-5 "best" pets and all the rest were useless. Rising Pet Revamp We've improved most of the pets that were useless to make them have the same stats as useful ones. This removes most of the RNG related to getting a good pet. Existing pets will be updated with the new stats! If you have any of the pets that are in green below, your pet got buffed 🙂 New Pet: Dino D-Shop Bullions: Trade D-Shop Coins! We're excited to announce a custom-built system completely new to Dekaron - a way to trade D-Shop coins. This will benefit the entire community, improve the economy, and help our F2P players! What are D-Shop Bullions? D-Shop bullion can be right-clicked to be redeemed for coins. They are tradable. ||| How do I use them? D-Shop bullions can be bought from the D-Shop. 1000 D-Shop Bullion = 1,000 Coins 5000 D-Shop Bullion = 5,000 Coins To use them, all you need to do is right click and open the box. Once used, it will take 1-5 minutes to receive the coins. To receive them immediately you can re-client. Once the coins are sent, the used D-Shop coin will expire. Are they tradable? Yes. You can trade them until they are used. Once they are used, they will no longer be obtainable. Improvements & Bug Fixes Dragonic Perpetus Tear of Dragon (Rising Helion Exchange) has been fixed. Corrupt Essence, Sap Crystalline, Sal Crystalline, and Dragon Tongue drop rates improved Event Updates Karke [Event] boss - fixed a bug that caused the boss to take too long to die. Service Performance Enabled a pool of nodes + load balancing to the network so that if one node struggles or goes down, other nodes rush to fill its place (to prevent downtime). Other Applied some fixes to the guild server that caused it to stop working intermittently. RMT Detection On Rising we want to ensure a fair playing experience for everyone. Trading items on the black market (RMT) is against the rules and we are going to start taking action on it. This is the only warning that we will provide about RMT: any participating (buying or selling) in RMT is against the rules and will result in a super-ban (all accounts + IP + other data that we have). We are using a custom-built machine learning classifier algorithm to scan trade logs and detect RMT. The model uses reinforcement-learning and will get better at detecting RMT as we continue to take action on it (which improves the model). The data we used to train the model is all of the logs generated since the server started. The model has been running for nearly a week. The model assigns a confidence score for every trade. The model does not automatically ban accounts (yet) but will do so in the future. For now, all RMT bans will be issued after manually reviewing the trades that were flagged by the model. Eventually (when the model is good enough) we enable it to take action by itself.
