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.

Warrior

  • 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

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.

• For details on newly added Pearl Shop Update, please click < Here >!
  

• 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.

Developer’s Comment
We have been reviewing and testing Archer to make improvements to the class, while keeping Archer's unique characteristic as the longest ranged class. Many of Archer's ranged skills cause CC status effects, and we have concluded that this gives Archer too big of an advantage in PvP. Therefore, we have adjusted the CC status effect skills Archer have, with more of the changes to the effects in PvP and less to the effects in PvE. We will keep on working on Archer. We not only want to keep what is unique to Archer, but have the class fit harmoniously with the other classes of BDO.
