Smilegate adds Ervanok and new dungeon in LORDNINE update
The October 21 update also introduces the Boju equipment item and a new avatar skin, with the Hakan server opening on October 23.
Smilegate released a large-scale update for the MMORPG LORDNINE on October 21, 2026, opening the new top-tier field hunting ground Ervanok and the new top-tier dungeon hunting ground "Abyss of Antiquity 2nd Floor", according to inven.co.kr.
In Ervanok, players can farm a new equipment item called Boju. Defeating the weekly boss Barkain in the field guarantees a mythic-grade equipment drop at 100% probability. The Abyss of Antiquity 2nd Floor requires a dedicated teleport scroll, which players obtain by hunting monsters on the first floor.
Boju items differ by grade: normal and advanced versions work as awakening materials without skill effects, while rare-grade and above grant random specialization passive skills. Some legendary-grade or higher Boju items grant active skills when equipped, and players can collect Boju fragments to craft a complete Boju.
New server and events
A new server, Hakan, opens on October 23. Several events run alongside the update: an attendance event and a growth support mission event both last until November 18, offering a guaranteed hero-grade artifact summon ticket and up to 460 and 230 various summon tickets respectively.
An ancient fish fragment item record event also runs until November 18, and a level achievement store event continues until February 17 of the following year. The update additionally adds a new avatar skin, "Autumn First Love Falling Heart".
