February 19, 2026

NPC Balance Overhaul — Aligned to L2Hub Interlude Reference Data

  • •All NPC stats, rewards, and loot tables have been comprehensively updated to match official Interlude reference values sourced from l2hub.info — covering 6,458 NPCs across all level ranges

EXP / SP Rewards

  • •Updated EXP and SP values for 2,577 NPCs to match l2hub reference data

Combat Stats

  • •Recalculated P.Atk, M.Atk, P.Def, M.Def, Atk.Spd, and Crit Rate for all 6,458 NPCs using the full server formula chain, including base stats, attribute bonuses (STR/INT/MEN/DEX), level modifiers, and passive skill multipliers (4408–4415)

Drop Tables

  • •Updated individual item drop chances within existing loot groups for 1,947 NPCs to match l2hub effective drop rates

  • •Adena count ranges also updated

Spoil Tables

  • •Updated spoil chances for 1,311 NPCs
  • •All 4,711 spoil items validated at 100% accuracy against l2hub reference data

What Was Not Changed

  • •HP/MP values remain unchanged (server formula not yet confirmed)

  • •Group structure and group chances preserved as-is — only individual item chances within groups were adjusted
February 17, 2026

Raid Boss Balance Audit — Levels 20–49

  • •90 raid bosses (and their minions) audited and corrected to match L2Hub reference values — covering every raid boss from level 20 through 49
  • •EXP and SP rewards corrected across the board — many bosses were giving significantly less than intended
  • •Combat stats adjusted where needed: P.Atk, P.Def, Crit Rate, Atk.Spd, and Cast Speed — all verified in-game after each pass
  • •Movement speed corrections applied to bosses and minions that were off from their reference values
  • •Minion stats individually audited — Rangers, Priests, and Fighters each checked and corrected independently
  • •9 bosses remain set aside for future review (special spawns and event-type bosses)

  • •Party members with a wider level gap can now properly share experience together as originally intended

Festive Sweeper (Skill 444)

Transmog System — Shield Support

  • •77 shields added to the transmog system across 4 new shop pages
  • •Shield button added to the weapon type selector in the transmog shop

Base Stat & Movement Speed Corrections
