Happy March, adventurers! Expect update to happen within the next 12 to 24 hours.
The month of green is here, and that means it is time for a little Luck of the Irish in XileRO Retro. We've been cooking up a small but meaningful update that brings a festive St. Patrick’s themed costume quest along with several balance adjustments that many of you have been asking about.
A lot of these tweaks come from feedback shared by players over the past few months. Thanks to everyone who took the time to report issues, test builds, and share their thoughts. XileRO Retro has always been made by fans, for fans, and updates like this are a reminder that the community helps shape where we go next.
This update will go live after the next server restart, which we expect to happen within the next 12 to 24 hours.
Luck of the Irish Event
The St. Patrick’s celebration begins with a brand new costume quest themed around the spirit of the holiday. Expect a fun little adventure and some festive green style waiting for those who complete the quest.
If you enjoy seasonal events and collecting unique costumes for your characters, this one should be right up your alley. Keep an eye out for the event NPC once the patch goes live.
Skill Balance Updates
We also took this opportunity to revisit a few skills that needed adjustments. Some are buffs, and some are reversions based on previous balance experiments.
- Gunslinger Rapid Shower damage improved and Desperado damage improved
- Assassin Cross Meteor Assault damage increased, Soul Breaker improvements and Sonic Blow improvements
- Creator Acid Demonstration changes from December 2025 have been reverted
- Champion's Investigate damage cap has been increased
These adjustments should help certain builds feel stronger and more rewarding, especially for players who enjoy experimenting with different playstyles. As always, we will be keeping an eye on how things perform once players start testing them out in the wild.
Screenshot Event Update
The Screenshot Event officially closed last week. Thank you to everyone who participated and sent in their submissions!
I will be reviewing all the screenshots and selecting the winners soon, so keep an eye out. The results should be announced sometime this week once I finish going through them.
Community Feedback
As always, your feedback matters. Some of our best events and improvements have come directly from community suggestions.
If you try the event quest or test the skill adjustments, let us know what you think. That is how we continue improving XileRO Retro together.
More updates and events are already being planned, so stay tuned.
Happy Gaming everyone! See you in XileRO Retro!
