New Items, Upgrades and Cards

With the new maps, monsters and Bosses also comes new items! The new Minis/MVPs will drop weapons suited for 3rd job classes and cards with powerful effects.

In addition, old gears will get more tier upgrades beyond Tier IV. Meaning, you can now upgrade items up to Tier 8 or even Tier 10!

Check out the spreadsheet in the link above to see the full list of new items, cards, combos and upgrade tiers.

How to Prepare for Episode 4.0

Prepare for 3rd Class

Try to reach Job Lv 70 with Peak Shards in preparation for the 3rd class job change. Check out our guide to Job Breakthrough and Peak Shards here.

Also, check out this guide to see what items are needed for the job change quests: How to Job Change into 3rd Class

Useful Cards

Here are some cards that will be useful in EP4.0 based on the upcoming maps and monsters. We might see an increase in their prices soon, so I suggest buying them as early as now.

Card	Effect
Ultraman Card	Dmg to Brute & Demon ＋8% Dmg reduc. vs. Demi-Human +2%
Menblatt Card	Dmg to Earth +20%
Peco-Peco Egg Card	Dmg to Formless +15%
Goblin Card	Dmg to Brute +15%
Vadon Card	Dmg to Fire +15%
Scorpion Card	Dmg to Plant +10%

Also, Water converters will be useful against the new Fire monsters in the Magma Dungeons.

If you’ve been farming Anolians and stockpiled a LOT of Mystic Frozen that are not selling on the exchange, your time has come!

Prepare for Endless Tower 80F

When EP4.0 is released, the new MVPs and Garm will appear starting at Floor 80. So I recommend that you don’t clear Floors 80 and above yet for this week, so that you’ll be one of the first players to get their loots.

Purchase Upgrade/Crafting Materials and King Poring Cards

I would also recommend buying materials for upgrading (for Tiers 4–8 or 10) and new craftable items. We might see an increase in their prices especially on the first few days/weeks after the upcoming episode is released.

Again refer to the EP 4.0 spreadsheet for more info.

New King Poring cards will also be craftable and their required cards are already snapping on the exchange at the time of writing! (We’ll have a guide on this soon!)
