Alleviated an issue with certain skills where the first time casting them after logging in, the client would slow down. The affected skills are as follows. Night Walker: Dominion, Rapid Throw Flame Wizard: Cataclysm Lara Dragon Vein Traces: This skill has been changed back to its previous specifications from before the December 22 update. Developer’s Notes: In the December 22 update, we changed Dragon Vein Traces’ logic to that Lara would have more stable combat. However, as a result of carefully checking players’ feedback and combat logs over the past month, we confirmed that there was no major change in combat stability and it caused unintended inconvenience to players who were already used to the existing method, so we have reverted the changes. [Back to Overview] Quests The ‘[Ellin Forest] Letter to my Wife’ quest’s completion reward item Testonen’s Letter has been improved so that it can be dropped in maps. When you start the ‘[Ellin Forest] History Doesn’t Change’ quest and you don’t have Testonen’s Letter, it has been improved so that the item will be reissued to you. [Back to Overview] Items The ‘My Buddy Wonky’ weapon’s bow attack motions have been improved to be more natural. [Back to Overview] NPCs The time when Edelstein’s NPC Wonny can be found at the mansion walls has been increased.

To make it easier to check which effects, titles, chairs, and pets are currently being used by your character, an ‘Equipped’ icon will now be displayed on the top right corner of the items being used in your inventory and bags. The Union attacker effects and attacker occupation effects have been improved so that they are sorted and displayed based on each effect. The Private Login setting has been improved so that it is maintained until the client is closed.

Bishop Fixed an issue where Angelic Touch only decreased magic defense. Developer’s Notes: Before the Adventurer Remaster, Bishop’s Big Bang and Angel Ray decreased both physical and magic defense rate of monsters, but we discovered that during the Remaster, we unintentionally omitted the physical defense reduction when changing these effects to Angelic Touch.

You can no longer use the Sylvidia riding skill while using the 5th job Sylvidia skill. Developer’s Notes: Mercedes’ Elemental Ghost’s afterimages are designed so that after one is activated, there is a certain chance for the next one to appear.
