[h2]Playable Slave Arc content added[/h2]
Players can now be enslaved through the slave system in major cities.
Slavers patrolling the region will check on your freedom and SLV rating before considering throwing you in the right place.

[h2]Slaver patrol system overhaul[/h2]
Players will now encounter slaver patrols in major cities.
Encounter rate will be based off player's SLV rating, as well as any offense committed. The higher the SLV rating, the easier it is for the slavers to check up on you. Certain stats may help in evading checks.
Freedom license can be acquired to avoid harassment by slavers as well.

[h2]Freedom License added[/h2]
Freedom license may now be purchased from 'Freedom Ambassadors' in all major cities.
They are located in the King's (or Queens's) audience halls right before you meet them.

[h2]Quest added: [/h2]
[h3]NSFW: The King's Offer[/h3]
Quest Starter: Changa (Magania's Chancellor)
Automatically triggered after you meet with the King of Magania.

[h2]Balance Adjustments:[/h2]
Battle type EXP gains have been adjusted for the following modes:
Classic RPG Mode: 2.0x EXP
Real Game Mode: 1.5x EXP

An improvement update for CG & animation scenes is set to drop by Oct 2024.

[h3]Mercenary Bug (Magania Boat Scene)[/h3]
- Fixed critical bug where newer mercenaries cannot rejoin after the Magania boat trip battle scene. All mercenaries that were hired before Magania should now be working as intended.

If you had a save file just before the Magania boat fight scene, please load that save to resolve this issue.

Fret not if you already progressed into Magania, there will be an NPC near the Teleport Crystal (Magania) that will fix your mercenary problem for 2000 Gold.


[h3]Class change EXP/LEVEL discrepancies[/h3]
- The class change promotion may display some level discrepancies and it
is normal. This is due to the different EXP gauges for its respective class and the game only retains the accumulated EXP and adjusts its level to the new class. So players may see a 'drop' in level but that's working as intended. No changes will be made further to this.
