• Family Inventory
  
  Shakatu, the Valencian Mogul, discovered a special ancient artifact at Cantusa Desert and has called upon adventurers to visit Shakatu's Territory. After witnessing the ancient artifact, adventurers have dubbed it the "Family Inventory."
  • What is a Family Inventory?
    
  • Family Inventory is a convenient bag that all characters in the same family have access to. However, only consumable items listed below can be placed in this inventory.
    
    • 1) Scrolls
      
    • 2) Food
      
    • 3) Elixirs
      
    • 4) Pet Feed
      
    • 5) Worker Stamina Recovery Food
      
  • The Family Inventory can be obtained through quests or through the Pearl Shop by purchasing the Family Inventory Slot Coupon with Pearls or Loyalties, which creates a "Family Inventory" category within the Inventory upon use.
    
  • Starting weight of Family Inventory is 100LT. The Family Inventory can be expanded up to 28 slots.
    
  • Please note that the below items cannot be moved to the Family Inventory.
    
    • 1) Items bound to characters
      
    • 2) Oasis exclusive items
      
    • 3) Items purchased from the Guild Shop

  • You can check the official WIKI page on Family Inventory <Here>.
    

Over the past few years, we've had many voices from all over the world requesting a Family-shared inventory space. We thought having the Maid/Butler system and the addition of the Central Market would satisfy this need, but the requests were still frequent. So we decided to finally add the Family Inventory. However, only certain types of items can be placed in the Family Inventory. You can obtain the Family Inventory via a quest, which will start you off with 2 slots and 100LT. Slot expansion coupons can be purchased with Pearls and Loyalties.

[h3]Game World[/h3]

• Fixed the issues with topography of Scarlet Sand Chamber where World Boss Kutum appears.

• Changed the placement of Kansha in Pit of Undying so that he doesn't obstruct matches.

• Fixed the issue where vegetation would be placed abnormally in North Kaia Mountain and Olun's Valley.
  

• Fixed the issue where vegetation would be placed abnormally in North Kaia Mountain and Olun's Valley.
  
  • You can transport mounts held in another Wharf/Stable to the current Wharf/Stable. Guild mounts are excluded from this function.
    
  • Transporting a mount costs 1 million Silver and will take 10 minutes to complete.
    
  • Transporting mounts with trade or barter goods in their inventory have a certain chance to lose all those items, so please take note.
    
  • Large ships cannot be transported to areas they cannot traverse to (i.e. rivers).
    

To bring a mount in a different region, you would previously have to log onto a different character located close to where that mount was stabled to send them to your current character. We've created this function to address the inconvenience of the existing method of transporting mounts.

After the introduction of the Naval Fame system, many adventurers found themselves unable to retrieve their ships from certain wharfs due to the drop in their Naval Fame. Now, with this function, adventurers with "Pirate" Naval Fame can still transport their mounts stored in other locations to the Kuit Islands.

• Optimized effects of Mythical Arduanatt.
  

• Doubled the chance of obtaining Mass of Pure Magic at the Crypt of Resting Thoughts node.
  
  
  [
  • The chance of obtaining Mass of Pure Magic at the Crypt of Resting Thoughts node is now the same as that of obtaining it at the Star's End node.
    
• Mass of Pure Magic has been found at the Mountain of Division node.
  
  • Added Mass of Pure Magic to the Excavation node.
    
  • The work speed at this node is fast, but there is less chance of obtaining Mass of Pure Magic. However, the ratio of obtained Mass of Pure Magic amount by time is similar to that of Star's End – Excavation node.
    
• You can now use Manufacture on La Orzeca Armor with sockets.
  
  • However, you won't be able to use Manufacture if there're any crystals equipped to it, so you will need to extract the crystal(s) first before crafting.
    
• Using another Golden Pig's Blessing while one is active will now remove the current effect and apply the last Golden Pig's Blessing only.
  
• For details on the newly added Pearl Shop Update, please click Here

• Guild Boss Ferrid has absorbed the heat of the hottest lava in Omar Lava Cave and become even more ferocious and powerful.
  
  • Ferrid's attacks, which contain the full might of its power, shake the cave and stimulate the unstable lava, causing a destructive explosion.
    
  • When this overflowed lava creates a swamp, Ferrid's attacks will cause explosions and continuously produce Ferrid Talis.
    
  • Ferrid Tali is very dangerous as it approaches its nearby adventurers and spits out its lava.
    
  • There's a low chance Ferrid Tuny will appear in the Lava Swamp.
    
  • When Ferrid Tuny reaches Ferrid, it will pass on its energy of lava to the Ferrid, making the latter more powerful.
    
  • When the Grapple or the CC status effect is applied to Ferrid Tuny, it will immediately vanish, but if it's near Ferrid at this point, it will still be able to pass on its lava energy of lava to the Ferrid.
    
  • As Guild Boss Ferrid has become more powerful, the chance of obtaining Energy of All Creations has increased as well as the drop rate of other loots.

• Fixed the icons of Sea Crystal related items in the Crafting Notes.
  
• Fixed the issue where the effects of Spirit Perfume Elixir would not be applied even though it still had time remaining on its duration.
  
• Fixed the How to Obtain sections of the item description for High-Quality Delotia Tart from Master Lv.1 or higher to Artisan Lv.1 to match when it actually can be obtained.
  

• O'draxxia blacksmith Limitte forged a new look for the La Orzeca Outfit while trying to recover the absorbed power of the goddess.
  
  • Added the quest "[Daily] La Orzeca's Orb" which allows adventurers to change their La Orzeca Helmet and Armor to the new look.
    
  • This quest can be accepted after completing the quests for crafting La Orzeca Helmet or Armor.
    
  • Only the female versions of the La Orzeca Outfit can be exchanged. However, only the helmet can be exchanged for the Shai.
    
  • The outfit pieces that are exchanged for in this quest cannot be returned to their previous look.
    
  • However, if you used Black Spirit's Claw to add a socket to the La Orzeca Outfit, you cannot use it to Manufacture with the La Orzeca's Orb and complete the quest. A new method will be added during a later update for outfits with sockets.
    

After the release of the La Orzeca Outfits, many adventurers from every region gave us a lot of feedback about the female character's outfit design. Therefore, we added a design that is similar to the male design. So now, adventurers can choose a design they prefer for their female characters.

  • Artina feels that the story behind this jukebox is special. So, she is selling them for Garmoth's Scale x30.
