[Instance Dungeon]

1. We have changed so that the number of entrances to difficult dungeons such as Manakarna (Difficulty) and Promethoon Workshop (Difficulty) are not shared with each other, but decreased.

2. Fixed the phenomenon that the'Stella Development Lab (Easy) Reward Box' does not appear intermittently in the'Stella Development Lab (Easy)'.

3. Corrected the phenomenon that the damage of the'Great Explosion' in'Valley of Chaos' is applied abnormally high.

4. We have changed some of the rewards for completing the'Tower of Challenge (lower floor)' challenge.

-Increased the probability of obtaining the'Tower of Challenge (Middle Floor) 4th Floor Movement Order'.

-'Battle Experience Extractor' has been added.

-Alchemium keys and vitality cubicles were excluded.

 

...arena droppers I am not sure if the translation does this a justice, it seems they are doing something to those that quit, or those that enter to play but their enemy quits before they can even fight.

5. In the case of abandoning admission at the arena of solitude or giving up naturally, the number of admissions will be deducted once.

Did I undestand right that HP cubics will be removed from Crucible Lower reward ? How people are going to farm them since this was the only way to get them ?

The answer you are looking for is that they will remove it from the game and add a cash shop solution. Basically do exactly what got the game in such a state in the first place.
