Improved Convenience

• Dev's Note:  There were inconveniences such as having to change the weekly dungeon information section to check it because there were not enough spaces for the weekly dungeon information compared to the available content.
• The total number of spaces has been expanded from 8 to 10 spaces, and a custom function has been added so that even spaces containing character information can be set as content information.
• In addition, we have made improvement to the weekly dungeon information in a way that is helpful when managing multiple characters.
• We added it to the settings list so that you can view various information such as daily missions, liberation proof quests, fame, fatigue, etc.

• Dev's Note: After the addition of the top bar, some adventurers were able to use the game screen comfortably, but there were also some who experienced inconveniences, such as accidentally moving the screen or pressing buttons.
  • By adding a ribbon menu within the top bar, we have added the ability to lock the screen movement function or adjust it to stick to the edge of the screen like a magnet.

• When you mouse over the button, the number of uses is displayed in a tooltip.

• Improved saturated channel notifications:
• A warning notification window feature has been added when creating a party/raid in a saturation channel. When you click the channel move button, you will be moved to a channel that is not saturated.
• A function will be added so that if channel transfer fails due to acceptance of party/raid participation, a notification will be sent to the inviter/participant.
• Deletion of growth capsule:
• Dev's Note: There were many adventurers who experienced inconvenience due to notifications related to growth capsules. In order to improve the excessive notification of growth capsules and the division of growth support into two types (growth capsules and valor crystals), growth capsules were deleted and some items were added to the valor crystal store.
• The growth capsule is deleted.
• The number of items available for monthly purchase of the '(Level 50-69) Level Up Ticket' item in the Adventurer > Store > Valor Crystal shop is changed from 5 to 7.
• Improvements to store purchased materials:
• Dev's Note: Dungeon & Fighter's store structure allows one item to be set to only one price and purchase material, so if it can be purchased with a variety of materials or if separate purchase restrictions are needed, additional box items for each item are produced and sold.
• We judged that the current structure has various inconveniences, such as high item production costs, inventory slot space occupancy, and the need to use additional boxes even after purchase.
• Accordingly, we reorganized the store-related structure so that it could be sold in a variety of ways, and applied the function first to the Mystical Grimoire and some items in the Hugh FitzLarry store.
• The items sold below will be changed. The price and materials required to purchase are the same.
• Condensed Leiern Cores (10) (Clear cube fragment) → Condensed Leiern Cores (10) 
• Mist Core Box (1) (Leiern Core) → Mist Core Box (1)
• Condensed Mist Core (1) (Condensed Leiern Core) → Condensed Mist Core (1)
• Grail of Contradiction - The Retexturize tab in the store will be deleted.
• Improved convenience of account-bound and untradeable material exchange purchases:
• Dev's Note: With the update to expand the use of safe materials on April 25, we have improved so that account-bound materials can be consumed together without purchasing exchange products.
• First, it was applied to some items that were purchased after exchanging untradeable  purchased materials for <account bound> items and then purchasing other products. We plan to expand it to additional necessary items in the future.
• We hope that this will help with convenience when purchasing goods by shortening the process of purchasing goods.
• A feature that allows you to purchase account-bound items by combining them without changing them to untradeable version has been added. The set untradeable materials are deducted first, and if insufficient, account-bound items are consumed.
• Target items: Pale Mist, Leiern Core, Abyss Battery, Quad-color Split Emergy, Cruel King of Dragon's Seal, Blurry Memory Fragment, Precipitated Purple Malefic Energy, Flow of the Five Elements, Ominous Crystal, Fragmented Red Twilight Crystal, Frost Crystal Fragment, Chaos Grudge, Petal Quartz, Eternal Black Eye, Antimatter Particle, Mist Core
• The store's material quantity information tooltip will be changed as shown below. The changed tooltip will only be applied if items of a different transaction type can be used together when purchasing.

• When making a purchase, a pop-up will be added to confirm the consumption of account-bound items. You can purchase it by checking the consent to use box.

• The safe material usage confirmation pop-up will change in accordance with the above changes.

Before (left) vs. After (right)

• Improved incapacitating status abnormality system:
• The effect of HP recovery when the sleep status effect is applied is removed.
• Status abnormality effects applied to some monsters have been improved.
• The effect that increases physical/magical defense when the petrification status is applied is removed. Some item options that had petrification-related options will be changed depending on the change in status.

Before	After

Atk. Increase +444.6% for 60 sec. on Petrification attempts Removes Physical / Magical damage reduction from your outgoing Petrification	Atk. Increase +444.6% for 60 sec. on Petrification attempts Physical / Magical defense +5,000

Enhanced Accessibility

• Dev's Note: Safety devices have been put in place to prevent mistakes when transmitting Verge of Recollection synchronization rates, options, and enchanting.
  • In the case of the Verge of Recollection, many adventurers continue to use it. We were able to confirm the opinion of simplifying the selection of the synchronization level, and we added stage settings to make it easier to strengthen the synchronization rate.
  • In addition, when transferring a custom epic option, option 1 is selected by default, so if an unintended option is transferred or an enchantment with a low fame is performed after comparing reputation during enchantment, a notification has been provided to prevent mistakes.
  • Lastly, when changing options through the Harmonious Mist Cube, the transfer record for that item is reset only when you change the option for an item that has a transfer record. Even if you use an option without a transfer record, you may misunderstand that the transfer record will disappear, so we have provided a notification to prevent confusion.
  • We hope that these improvements will provide a more positive experience for adventurers.
• Improved synchronization rate in Verge of Recollection: Improvements have been made so that you can quickly strengthen up to the selected level by selecting the synchronization level.

• A ‘Set Tune Rate’ button is added to allow you to set the tune rate directly in the tune rate display window at the top right of the screen.

• Improvements will be made so that when attempting to strengthen the synchronization rate while clearing the Verge of Recollection, a notification will be displayed as to whether or not the dungeon has been cleared.

• Improved option transfer accessibility:
• When attempting to transfer a custom epic option, the default (option 1) is changed to unchecked.
• Improvements have been made so that an additional confirmation notification message appears when attempting to change a valid option.

• Prevent enchantment mistakes: When attempting to enchant with the same fame or a lower value than an existing enchantment, it will now check again whether to proceed.

• Improved guidance for the Harmonious Mist Cube: Notifications when using the Harmonious Mist Cube have been improved.
• When attempting to use the Harmonious Mist Cube on equipment that has a transfer record, the following notification will be displayed.

• When attempting to use a Harmonious Mist Cube on equipment without a transfer record, the following notification will be displayed.

• Improved guidance on not using character buffs: The message displayed when a character buff is not being used has been improved to now show the buff skill icon as well.

• Cube Contract Improvement: When in standby mode after clearing a dungeon, the cube will not be consumed even if the cube's contract is activated. Like the training room, the buff icon is displayed, but actual cube fragment are not consumed.
• Improved limited-time item notifications: The sorting method for limited-time item notifications has been improved as follows:
  • Mileage will be changed to be displayed at the top.
  • The remaining items will be changed to be displayed in order of remaining period.
