Additionally, quality-of-life enhancements have been implemented across various gameplay elements—from real-time UI updates and improved stat descriptions to better handling of crafting and resource collection—all aimed at creating a smoother, more immersive experience. Alongside these new features, a series of bug fixes and balance adjustments have been applied to ensure reliable performance and refined game mechanics throughout.

Features

• Enhanced audio effects for the ‘Fortify Shield’ ability, including new sounds for shield application, AOE loop, damage taken, and shield break, to make the trigger and shielded status more distinct. [AUDIO-975]
• Updated the text in the abilities section of the player profile to say ‘Requires Ability Configurator’ and added a tooltip stating ‘Complete ‘Foundational Error’ to unlock Ability Configurator’ to provide clearer instructions for unlocking ability configuration. [TECH-10697]
• Implemented an auto-continue feature for quest dialogues which automatically advances the text after a voice over finishes, removing the need for players to manually click through dialogues. [TECH-10633]
• Introduced a new design for the ability bar, which now features a sleeker interface and clear cooldown indications. Abilities unlock visibly, with a new pop and glow animation when they come off cooldown. Button frames have been improved for better visibility, enhancing the player’s ability management experience. [TECH-10151]
• Added the ability to progress dialogue boxes using key presses. Players can now use keys 1, 2, 3, and 4 to select dialogue options, enhancing interaction and ease of use during gameplay. [TECH-10745]
• Foraging now works with just one click, similar to mining. Players can gather nodes in 3.5 seconds, with skilled players able to gather slightly faster using charging. New visual effects have been added to enhance the one-click action. [FEATURE-644]
• Added the ability to view item stat tooltips from a distance in non-combat rooms within dungeons to facilitate interaction without needing to be within activation range. [TECH-10629]
• Players will now experience immediate mob spawns upon entering dungeons. Mobs will no longer auto-aggro players upon spawn, reducing potential overwhelming situations and allowing better control over the initial encounter. Dungeon configurations allow some dungeons to maintain instant mob spawns while others retain normal spawn animations. [TECH-9763]
• Introduced a smaller, non-fullscreen quest map and restored click-to-navigate functionality, allowing players to interact with the map more dynamically. [TECH-10611]
• Added the ability to view dungeons on the world map, allowing players to open the Dungeon Finder by clicking on a dungeon marker. [TECH-9666]
• Implemented new sound effects for the Spider (Orange) Jumping Bot, including alert, hit, death, footsteps, jump charge, jump, and landing sounds. [TECH-10696]

Improvements

• Expanded the descriptions of in-game stats to provide more detailed and informative explanations for players, improving understanding of what each stat affects. Abbreviations such as CSC and CSO have also been clarified. [DES-2773]
• Updated skills descriptions to be more engaging and informative, helping players make more informed choices when investing their experience points. [DES-2770]
• Improved the health point (HP) energy offset update mechanism to trigger only upon HP relic selection and when entering or leaving a room, preventing unwanted HP resetting and enhancing user experience during dungeon transitions. [TECH-10461]

• Fixed an issue where attempting to buy water at Wefco Mart would cause the selection to switch from Water x1 to Water x10 during purchase. [TECH-10746] Submitted by user 01JYT7A4V6FF7QJ5XK45YH70WY.
• Fixed an issue where the ‘Bag Full’ warning in the trade window remained even after the receiving player emptied their inventory, requiring the trade window to be closed and reopened to proceed. [TECH-10747]

• Fixed an issue in the ‘Beastly Balance’ quest where killing monsters did not update the quest progress, allowing players to now complete the quest as intended. [QA-2729]
• Fixed an issue where crafting Raspberry Cake did not provide any cooking experience. Now, it correctly grants 1700 cooking EXP per cake. [QA-2683] Thanks to Arident for reporting this issue.
