Skill Hit Cap

The minimum and maximum chance for a skill to land has been expanded to between 5% and 90%. The logic behind this is because the current min/max caps are based on that state of the game from over 10 years ago. When it required +2 Stun resist just to get 1% resist. There were also larger level gaps in the game. It wasn’t uncommon to see a level 55 and 85 at the same fights. In today’s meta, most fights are between level 75 and 85. This means the bonus from level advantage is very minimal. If we also take a look at the range of +hit and +resist items that are available now, it’s clear NC did not work around these dated min/max caps anymore.
Spells changed so far: Shock Stun, Empire, Bone Break, Phantasm, Panic, Confusion, Horror of Death, Fear, Tomahawk, Power Grip, Desperado, Guard Break, Thunder Grab, Cancellation, Pollute Water, Strike Gale, Earth Bind, Shadow Sleep
TLDR: Players who invest in more resistance will not get cucked, players who invest in hit will feel more rewarded.

Helper NPC

Japanese Chef

New NPC in Giran. In keeping true to my vision of emulating a Korean server. I have made Magic Dolls based on how they are in Korea. However, the Japanese dolls are more appealing so I have added an NPC that will convert various items into their Japanese counter-part. Currently supports Magic Doll: Baphomet. Requires 1 Japanese Spice per exchange.
