May 20, 2020
Big changes are here! In the May 20th update, a new page with four different sublinks for the talented web developer Lucioss was added as well as new Solo Dungeon page for Outlaw Island! This update also included many UI changes affecting Dungeons, Solo Dungeons, and Raids, as well as additions and fixes to the Soul Badge effects, which if I'm not mistaken, should cover all Soul Badges for all classes and for all specializations. As for the endless Soul Shield effects, I've decided to stop rewriting them in my own words. This was done due to the inconsistent sentence structure in the game, but it simply takes too long, so they will now be copy-pasted from the game's raw data.
That aside, thanks to everyone for being patient with me while I try to fix the site issues. The list on Known Issues is shrinking update after update and I'm super excited to start working on new stuff, which includes info for Fishing, the next Heroic Dungeon, and the third Class Specialization for the Force Master.

There have been reports of misleading information since the site was released, and after looking into it further, most of the Soul Shield effects were vastly wrong. After double-checking all of the Blade & Soul patch notes since I started writing for this site, I can confirm that changes made to Soul Shields have not been acknowledged by the western game publisher. That said, always take the information from this site with a grain of salt and remember to check when it was last updated by pressing the ⓘ button found in the bottom-right corner.
