Rappelz Patch Notes 2026 — Updates, Fixes & History
Explore the latest Rappelz Patch Notes 2026 for Rappelz Tournament, including class balance, client patches, events, bug fixes, major updates and the complete searchable update history from 2017–2026.
Last Updated: September 18, 2026
Latest Rappelz Patch Notes 2026 & Server Updates
This is the main Rappelz Patch Notes hub for Rappelz Tournament. It collects major server updates, Epic content releases, class balancing, dungeon changes, pet updates, ranked item improvements, PvP changes, seasonal events, bug fixes and quality-of-life fixes.
Older forum patch notes continue here alongside later Discord developer notes, client patches, news and announcements as one searchable development history. Major feature releases with dedicated modern guides can still link directly to those guides.
For current gameplay information, use the Rappelz Game Information Hub, 2026 class guide, pet system guide and current client download. For historical context about official Rappelz development, WEBZEN also preserves an official Rappelz expansion announcement.
Historical values can differ from the live Tournament server, so use the dated archive for change history and the linked 2026 guides for current systems.

Currently restoring full backup to the state that it was before we decided to upgrade, tried my best to get this server working on new hardware and upgraded database, but failed to get it much faster then before, certain things doesn’t seemed to adapt to new enviroment that made it slower...but i’ve learned alot in these past 2 days, to secure, optimize and speed up certain things that might benefit our old server configuration to solve dc and make server smoother gameplay. Can’t wait to try this out, if everything goes as planned the server wil be back up in couple hours depending on full restore speed. Sorry for the inconvenience, i’ve delayed upgrading many times, but felt like i had to go for it this time before the end of the year, but as some of you guys know it ain’t easy to upgrade with couple years of active server with milions of table records. I’ll try again in the future...to be continued.

If your Client stil dc's or crashes try the following solution:
Use our latest Artemis Game Client, make sure to exclude game folder in windows defender and your antivirus, keep your game client at your desktop or documents folder, so DON'T put it somewhere in c drive/programs or 2nd harddrive, it wil cause crashes/dc. hope that helps
