Current evidence check

October 2 evidence check: the client-data mirror now labels its status index Global version 1.0.21.0, updated September 30. That does not prove every stored effect changed or is displayed on the HUD.

Reading a condition

Reading a condition: Separate what a state does from the chance, duration and rank of the skill that applies it.

Removal and prevention

Removal and prevention: A cleanse removes an existing debuff; immunity prevents its application; resistance changes susceptibility.

Version boundaries

Version boundaries: The handbook combines explicit client-reference evidence with labeled regional translations.

Unresolved names

Unresolved names: Sleep arrow's regional description says insomnia; Seal does not establish Silence.

Protection exceptions

Protection exceptions: NCSOFT's March 25 regional update describes a 30-second nonconsecutive Immune/Immortal restriction.

The status handbook

The images below identify the example skill, not the condition's HUD icon. Mechanics and values belong to the linked source and version.
