Game servers will be down for a maintenance beginning Wednesday, May 20, 2020 at 4 a.m. PDT /  6 a.m. CDT / 7 a.m. EDT / 1 p.m. GMT+1 and will be unavailable for approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes.

With this maintenance:

• Standard database maintenance and application restarts will be performed.
• The base physical/magic attack stats on monsters will be permanently reduced in the following hunting zones:
  • Giant’s Cave
  • Forgotten Island
  • Imperial Tomb
  • Kertra Orc Outpost
  • Varka Silenos Barracks
  • Dragon Valley
  • Antharas’ Lair
• Adena has been slightly increased for level 76+ monsters.
• The 16th Anniversary event (Baium Festival and Minigame) will be available for one final week!
  • The deletion date for 16th Anniversary consumable items has been extended to 6/24. Check the event details page for the list of deleted items on 5/27 and 6/24. The Battle Scroll – Event and XP Boost Scroll – Event items will NOT be deleted.
  • Fixed an issue where the Agathion Soulstone was dropping from the Aden's Greater Treasure Chest instead of the Scroll: Enchant Weapon (A-grade). Players who currently have the Agathion Soulstones will have the items swapped out in a future maintenance.
• Shiny Jewelry Boxes on the L2 Store will be available for one final week.
• Silver Coins will be removed. Make sure to exchange your remaining Silver Coins at the Dimensional Merchant.

What about adena drop? How is it anyhow logical that 85 lvl mobs are dropping less adena than lvl20 monsters?
Antharas mobs drop 1000 adena average.
Please the p/m attack stat on these mobs is not the biggest issue... the reward/difficulty ratio is complete disaster.

I confirmed with the Dev team that the Adena has been slightly increased for Lv. 76+ monsters with the changes to the hunting zones.
