Daraney - Guardian's Rise News

Hey!

Today's update includes some bug fixes and improvements in general.

Bug Fixes:

--> Fixed an error where the Highly Necklace of War would have the same stat bonus as its predecessor, Higher Necklace of War.
It now has an increase of +7 ATK instead of only +4.

--> The description of Fyrea's arte "Wildifre" didn't make it clear enough that it hits all enemies on the field.
This has now been resolved.

--> The description of the item "Ysenta's Leather Rip" did not show the correct text. This has been fixed.

--> Fixed an error where the item "Story of Ilyatir II" didn't show its content.

--> Some buff items increased the stats of each character by the wrong amount. Now, the buff amount is applied correctly.

--> Some items were incorrectly marked as "Key Items". The issue has been resolved.

--> The Platinum Scale Gloves had the wrong category. Now, they can be equipped as gloves instead of armor.

--> While having the "Protectun Ring" equipped, on rare occasions upon using a buff arte on the specific character, it would trigger the ring's counter effect. This has now been resolved.

--> The necklace "Critical Eye" stated that it gives a +35% critical hit rate increase to the characters it has been equipped to. This works now.

--> The "Magical Snake Skin Armor" of Limare accidentally increased her EP by an outrageous amount. This has now been corrected.

--> In some areas, certain monsters were blocked off due to mapping errors. This has now been fixed.

--> When Fyrea is supposed to explore the Eastern Desert, the NPC Mon'gra incorrectly tells her to go to the Temple of Flames upon interaction (which has already been done at this point). This has now been corrected.

--> Certain item vendors (other than the one in Flayk) didn't feel like showing their entire stock when trying to buy something. This should now work as intended.

--> After triggering a certain cutscene in Dorrenta, the mini-map would disable itself. This has been fixed.

--> Fixed an error where a certain cutscene in Dorrenta would tell the player that new bounty quests are available, even though this wasn't the case.

--> The "Merchant Lantern" didn't work as intended. However, this issue should've been resolved now.

--> Fixed some teleportation issues in a certain area later in the game.

--> Upon completing a certain dungeon in the later part of the game, a bug would occur that disables the player's visible party members on the map. This issue has been addressed.

--> After a certain event is triggered, using the "Emergency Teleport" items would change the screen color back to default. This shouldn't happen anymore.

--> Fixed a bug where a certain NPC would simply vanish upon talking to her. This issue has been resolved.

--> Fixed a typo where during a certain cutscene, the party should've been rewarded with a banquet, and not a bouquet. Now Fyrea and her friends are able to enjoy their meal.

--> Fixed an error where the rewards for the bounty quest "Cave Guardian" could be obtained an indefinite number of times. This is fixed now.

--> The description of a certain character's distribution attributes was written in German. This has now been corrected to English.

--> Fixed a bug where too many recipes were displayed in the crafting log. The log should now show the correct number of unlockable recipes.

--> Fixed an error where the "Orb of Lyghte" couldn't be obtained by opening the respective chest.

--> The items "Demonic Key" and "Strange Key" can now be used to open certain chests in a certain area.

--> Some crafting materials have been missing. These can now be obtained in the following ways:

Water Powder: By defeating the monsters "Aquatic Slime", and "Spirit of Ice".

Gold Ore: Can be gathered in the following areas: "Western Cave", and "Western Cave: Inner".

Tsuyoblume: This one can be gathered in the "Star Oasis" area.
