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.

Vulcanus Update Release! [Full Patch Notes]
Vulcanus / Lava equipment: the update introduced custom Vulcanus decorative equipment with set effects, on-hit skill effects and random stats including Critical Power. The set consisted of Lava Helmet, Armor, Gloves, Boots, 2H Weapon or 1H Weapon + Shield, and Lava Wings. Materials from the Vulcanus dungeon could be exchanged with Hector in Horizon or Laksy.
Power of the Gods: while hunting monsters, characters could temporarily receive Hephaestus Godly Armor, Ares Immense Power or Artemis Grace. If Grace was already active, the system could apply Everlasting Love to increase item drop rate instead.
Leveling and farming changes: the Daily EXP & DROP buff cooldown was reduced by 50%, global monster spawns were reworked, and most bosses were changed from a 10-minute respawn to 10 seconds, with Underground and Circus bosses excluded because of T-Coin quest rewards. Abyss drop populations and Styx respawns were also adjusted.
Pet-card and Treasure Koala changes: drop rates were increased for Death Gladiator, Ethereal/Forest/Wind Pixie, Crystal Golem, Bloodthirsty Slaughterer, Grandmaster Hector and Crystal Spider cards. Treasure Koala, Event Chests and EXP Pixies could spawn while actively hunting in custom Level 150+ maps; EXP Pixie maximum spawns were increased and Treasure Koala frequency was raised.
Global Monster Hunt: field and dungeon kills contributed toward weekly server-wide goals. Reaching successive thresholds activated stackable global buffs, with progress and activated buffs resetting weekly.
Lak storage redesign: Lak storage moved away from necklaces and into bags / Boss Crystals. The archived patch listed fixed storage from 100k Lak on the Trainee's Bag up to 950k on the Mythical Calamity Boss Crystal.
Death Match and endgame: Free Death Match gained mixed monster groups with faster respawns and remained an always-on PvP zone. A reworked Level 200+ Moonlight Underground EXP instance was added, while Treasury of Spirits remained Level 205+ and received Boss Crystal/drop/spawn adjustments.
Ares Final Awakening: the Vulcanus release also documented the random ranked Ares Awakening system. Identified items could receive one locked random awakening stat, with special Mythical/Legendary/Epic/Rare effects depending on the item slot.
GM systems: the update reworked the Katan Monster & Boss Spawn event, added an in-game GM Events NPC and expanded TGM permissions for temporary server events and Horizon Lake boss spawning.
