  • Note: The damage of these skills are affected by the AP of the mounted character.
• Also fixed the issue where the damage of Dark Flame Steps and Dark Sprint of Dream Doom were affected differently depending on the mounted character.
  • Note: The damage of these skills are affected by the AP of the mounted character.

[Developer’s Comment]

Unlike other mounts, the damage of horse skills is affected by the AP of the mounted character. This is so that your horse will get stronger as your character grows.

However, the damage of these skills varied depending on which character type was mounted (melee, ranged, caster) and was fixed through this week’s update.

[By Class]

• Fixed the typo in the tooltip of Forward Slash
• You now receive the 2 parts set effect when equipped with a Pearl outfit Vitclari. Also, you now receive the 8 parts set effect when equipped with 7 outfit parts.
• Sun, Moon, Stars, Time to Shine!, Shout to the Sky, and Summer Rain now increase in range the longer you maintain the skills to affect allies who are farther away.
• “Instrument” in the skill description of Cheer up, Come Out, Come Out!, Over Here!, Step Aside!, Play Dead, Hop, and Tuck and Roll was changed to “Sol”.
• Landing action will now be done when the character is in mid-air after using Hop, Tuck-and-Roll, and Twirl Three.
• A new Florang skill “Gather Around!” was added.
• The application method of buffs from Misty Haze, Delusive Light, and Sun, Moon, Stars was changed to the following.
  • The level of the skill has priority over the caster’s Sol enhancement level.
  • When affected with the same buff, the higher level skill will have priority.
  • When affected with the same buff from the same skill level, the skill used with higher enhancement level item will have priority.
    • Example 1)
    • Caster A: Sun, Moon, Stars I, used with Artina Sol V
    • Caster B: Sun, Moon, Stars III, used with Artina Sol I
      • If cast at the same time, Caster B’s buff will be applied.
    • Example 2)
    • Caster A: Sun, Moon, Stars III, used with Artina Sol V
    • Caster B: Sun, Moon, Stars III, used with Artina Sol I
      • If cast at the same time, Caster A’s buff will be applied.

• Added items you can acquire through fishing.
  • Torn Sail Piece, Rusty Anchor, Broken Trade Box
• You can take junk items to certain NPCs to trade them for other items.

• “Fish Bones” and “Tattered Boots” will be available for trading for “Crio’s Fishing Chair” once the Life Skill is updated later down the road. Please note that “Crio’s Fishing Chair” is currently unavailable, and please keep an eye out for the update!

[Developer’s Comment]

Auto Fishing was greatly improved by adding the feature where you could choose to discard fish according to their grade.

However, this also caused unwanted items to pile up in your inventory.

To resolve this, we’ve added traders so you can make use of these items for Fishing, Courser Training, Contribution, and etc.

• EDIT 8/15: Swapped the names of the items “Flawless Magical Black Stone” and “Pure Magical Black Stone” to correctly match the items.
• Added a Trade Goods exclusive Wagon to the Transport function.
• Changed the parts of the description of Transport Information.

[Developer’s Comment]

Now you can transport Trade Goods across long distances.

However, this wagon costs more than the usual to operate, so that those who still use a wagon or miniature elephant full of trade goods themselves could still benefit a better profit.
