This tab holds currency-type items across multiple gameplay sources, reducing the amount of items that need to be held in your inventory or storage. Existing currency items in player inventory and storage chests have been converted automatically to the new currency tab format.
  • Party Member List: Numbers assigned to party members now update when the party member list is reordered.
  • Field Bosses: War mode Field Bosses now display a UI element showing each guild's contribution percentage.
  • Shadowed Crypt: The same chests that spawn at night on Saurodoma Island now also spawn at various locations in Shadowed Crypt.
  • Crafting NPCs in each town can now craft up to Epic tier items, making it so higher-tier crafting is available in all cities.

  • Guild Buffs: Removed the standard experience buff from the list of available guild buffs.
  • Guild Buffs: Adjusted the Sollant and Abyss Contract Token Efficiency buffs to provide greater benefit over a longer duration.
  • Dimensional Trials: Killing bosses in Dimensional Trials now offers the same boss loot chest available from the Dungeon version.
  • Siege: Future Castle Siege events will take place at 20:00 (8:00pm) server time in each region, instead of 16:00 (4:00pm).

  • Weekly Reset: During this maintenance, the weekly content reset time will shift 2 hours, to take place during maintenance windows (08:00 UTC).

[h3]General[/h3]
  • Character: You can now edit current stats instead of fully resetting them, allowing you to adjust the current values without having to re-spend all points.
  • Items: Food: In some cases, multiple food buffs from the same category could be active at the same time unintentionally. Now only Miscellaneous (experience gain type) food buffs can have multiple active effects at the same time.

  • Map: Removed the ability to track players from your friends, target of interest, and hostile lists through minimap icons.
  • Map: Added weather forecasts to zone information on the World Map.
  • Arena: Purification Stones once again work in arenas.
  • Events: Tax Delivery: Available times to schedule the Tax Delivery event have been adjusted to avoid overlap with certain Dynamic Events that could change the stats of the Tax Delivery Golem.
  • Cooking: The cooking recipe system unintentionally reverted to the multi-quality output version in a prior update. This has been corrected, and cooking recipes once again produce increased quantities of meals instead of different qualities when crafting.
  • Controller: Gate of Infinity: Fixed an issue preventing collection of ranking rewards from Gate of Inifinity when using a controller.
  • Controller: Dimensional Trials: Fixed an issue preventing controllers from adjusting the tier of Dimensional Trial when creating a Party Board recruitment.

  • Syleus' Abyss: Adjusted a barrier wall preventing two piton points from being accessible for traversal below the Eastern room.
  • Torture Chamber of Screams: Fixed an issue that caused Shadow of Screams to not properly follow players if they had been pushed with collision skill effects.

[h3]UI[/h3]
  • Inventory: Closing your inventory after opening a container with item rewards will now also close the acquired item popup.
  • Items: Tooltips for gear with set bonuses now indicate which items in the set you have equipped.
  • Guild Raids: Adjusted display of guild raids to clearly show participation rewards versus boss loot rewards.
  • Items: Creating a Lithograph from an item in your inventory will no longer display an untradeable result in the pre-crafting window.
  • Chat: Added additional Chat settings to the settings menu, including expanded chat color options.
  • Mirror Boutique: Added more view angle range to the camera so you can now view your character from more different angles.
  • Sprouts and Sages: Adjusted the display of qualifications for the Sprouts and Sages system.
