Why Choose Dex?
Best Balance on Interlude+ - we offer the most polished balance among all modified Interlude servers(It may not be perfect yet, but we are committed to continuous improvements and refinements. ). Our build is 100% unique, developed on retail PTS files, and refined over 6+ years. This is not a copy–paste pack – it’s our own work, shaped by players feedback and suggestions for more than 6 years.
Proven Stability & Long-Term Life - Our Union x25 server has been running since April 2020 – 6 years of stability and still active with strong online! This makes Dex the only server with real players (not phantoms) with such a setup and longevity.
Always Fresh, Always Engaging - Every Seasonal server comes with a clear roadmap of changes and updates. At the end of the season, the server merges with Union, so your effort is never wasted.
New players can start fresh together with everyone else on the new season. Before the merge, we run exclusive boosted events for about a month, giving seasonal players a massive head start. (Union players don’t get these events)

What’s New in the Upcoming Season?
Below is a brief overview of the main changes coming in the new season, along with short explanations. More detailed information about each feature will be published later, most likely in our wiki.
Divisions
We plan to test a Division system on Dex, initially only for low-tier epic bosses (AQ, Core, Orfen, Zaken).
At the same time as the main Epic Boss respawn, an additional instance version of the boss will appear. Clans from the big war will not be able to enter this instance.
The drop table is identical to the main boss, but the Epic Jewelry have not a 100% drop chance.
Mithril Mines
A reworked location that will open on the first Monday after S-grade becomes available.
In this zone you will be able to:
- Obtain alternative recipes for S-grade equipment
- Get your first Charms and upgrade them up to Level 3
- Obtain bracelets with 2 Charm slots
- Farm Void Neolithics (used for upgrade any item to Masterwork, but lose enchant level)
- 2 New Raid Bosses with valuable drop
- Fight the Raid Boss Trasken
Plunderous Plains
Another reworked location, which will open one week after Mithril Mines.
This zone provides:
- GCM drops
- LS drop
- More different Charms
- 2 New Raid Bosses with valuable drop
- 3-slot Charm bracelet
- The ability to make PvP versions of equipment
Isle of Prayer
A location where players will be able to obtain a new type of equipment - Dynasty.
This area will also provide:
- More different Charms
- 4-slot Charm bracelet
- Upgrade charms to level 4
Hellbound
Hellbound is now an endgame location. Almost everything can be farmed there, and the drop quality is very high.
However, the location will only be available during weeks without Olympiad battles.
This means it will be open for one week and closed for the next.
This area will also provide:
- 5-6 slot Charm bracelet
- bracelet engravement
- ancient scrolls
- Best drop GCM
- Best drop LS
- More different charms
- Upgrade charms to level 5
Talents
An additional talent tree has been added: the PvE branch.
The PvE talent tree has its own limits and does not overlap with the standard tree.
Olympiad
The Olympiad will now run 5 days per week, from Wednesday to Sunday.
Each day you will have a limit on the number of battles you can participate in.
War Hunt Event
A new event. Players who previously played on Skadi may already be familiar with it.
The idea is simple:
- You enter a PvP zone
- Killing monsters grants points
- These points can be exchanged for rewards
- Killing other players allows you to steal their points
PvE / PvP Layers
The locations Mithril Mines, Plunderous Plains, IOP and Hellbound will have two separate layers.
The drop on both versions are identical.
- Open World Version: Full PvP zone
- Instance Version: No PvP zone, works like the regular world with standard war/flag/PK rules
Players who enjoy PvP can defend their farming spots and gain extra advantage, while players who prefer a safer farming experience can use the instance version, though with more competition and higher population.
As you can see, this season brings quite a lot of changes
However, these are mostly content-related additions - the core spirit and classic gameplay of the season remain unchanged.
Please note that this is a pre-announcement, and some details may still change before the Beta Test begins.
A full roadmap and patch notes will be published later.
