Update 0.9 — Fixes and Improvements

Update v0.9 brings a large set of improvements to combat, pets, interface, chat, inventory, guilds, and social systems.

Enhancement

• Materials and protection items can now be removed from the enhancement window by clicking their slot again.
• Enhancement stones can be removed with right-click.
• Left-clicking the stone slot still opens the list of compatible stones.
• Selected materials cannot be changed while an enhancement attempt is in progress.

Pet Laboratory

• Added a warning when a synthesis booster is unnecessary.
• If the second pet already has a sufficient level, the game now warns you that the booster will still be consumed.
• The warning is shown for both regular synthesis and synthesis maps.

Healer — Shock Wave

• First, Second, and Third Shock Wave now restore health equal to 100% of the damage dealt, increased from 25%.
• Healing is calculated separately for every enemy hit.
• The more targets caught by the wave, the more health the healer restores.
• The skill's damage and area of effect remain unchanged.

Skill Fixes

Support Mage

• Haste can now be cast on a selected ally.
• If no ally is selected, the skill is cast on the mage.
• Purification now works according to its description:
  • removes the most recently applied positive effect from an enemy;
  • restores 1–5% HP to the caster for the removed effect;
  • no longer deals damage.
• Powerful Earthquake no longer requires a selected target and hits enemies around the character.

Area Skills

The following abilities no longer require a selected target:

• Blood Will
• Mass Provocation
• Blade Whirlwind
• Circular Strike
• Ankle Strike
• Meteor Storm
• Sand Trap
• Electric Shock
• Release of Darkness

Freeze

• Targets frozen by Water Pillar or Ice Seal are now completely invulnerable until the freeze ends.
• While frozen:
  • basic attacks deal no damage;
  • skills deal no damage;
  • poison and bleeding do not deal damage;
  • new effects cannot be applied.
• The same rules apply in PvP.

Pets

• Fixed pet progression after evolution:
  • experience is gained correctly again;
  • level and growth limits are preserved properly.
• Evolution now correctly transforms pets into their evolved form where one exists.
• Fixed pets that previously stopped gaining experience after evolution.
• Synthesis and evolution now display a result window showing:
  • resulting pet;
  • rank;
  • rarity;
  • level.
• Large experience rewards are now correctly distributed across multiple levels.
• The experience bar can no longer display values such as 369%.
• Small pet bonuses are no longer rounded down to zero.
• Pets can now be switched with a single action:
  • summoning another pet automatically replaces the currently summoned one.
• In the growth window, a summoned pet is shown in gray with a tooltip explaining that it must first be dismissed.

Strong Monster Balance

• Monster damage now depends more heavily on the level difference between the monster and your character.
• Monsters at your level or within 1–2 levels deal normal damage.
• Monsters 3 levels higher deal approximately 2.5× damage.
• At a difference of 4 levels or more, the damage multiplier matches the level difference:
  • +4 levels — ×4;
  • +10 levels — ×10.
• This applies to both basic attacks and monster skills.
• Character defense continues to reduce the resulting damage.

Melee Combat

• Fixed the first hit after automatically running toward a distant target.
• The character now:
  • runs into range;
  • properly stops;
  • then performs the first attack.
• The same fix applies to both monsters and duel opponents.

Cross-Map Quests

• Fixed quests where the second group of monsters is located in a neighboring world.
• After completing the first objective, auto-run now guides the character toward the correct world entrance.
• The quest list now shows the world containing the next objective.
• The quest marker appears on the map after entering the correct world.

Ranged Weapons

• Arrows are now visible in the character's hand only while using:
  • a bow;
  • a crossbow;
  • a ballista.
• Switching to a sword, spear, staff, fishing rod, or another weapon automatically hides the arrow.
• Other players now see this correctly as well.

Miss and Evasion

Combat now includes two full combat stats:

• Miss Chance
• Evasion Chance

Both affect basic attacks and skills.

Evasion

• Evasion now scales much more noticeably with Dexterity.
• Additional evasion can come from:
  • Evade;
  • Increase Evasion;
  • pets;
  • equipment properties.
• The equipment property Evasion Chance now works correctly.

Miss Chance

• With no Luck, the base miss chance is 5%.
• Every point of Luck reduces it.
• At 250 Luck, miss chance reaches zero.

Monsters

• Monsters have a 5% chance to miss attacks against players.
• Monsters also have a 5% chance to evade your attacks.
• The combined chance for an attack to fail is capped at 60%.
• Combat feedback now clearly distinguishes:
  • an attacker missing;
  • the target evading.
• The same information is displayed in the combat log.
• Your own values can be viewed in the character window with detailed tooltips.

Character Death

• Other players' deaths are now correctly visible to everyone nearby.
• Dead characters no longer remain visually standing on other players' screens.
• If you arrive after someone has already died, the character is immediately shown lying on the ground.
• Revived characters correctly stand up for everyone after using a Resurrection Scroll or when an Arena match ends.

  • Gift of Diju Incubator — 100%.
• A hatching booster adds +30% to the incubator's success chance.

• Important NPCs for the first steps of the game are now located close to the starting point.

Inventory Sorting

• Added a Sort button to the inventory.
• Identical items are automatically combined into stacks.
• Items are moved toward the beginning of the inventory, leaving free slots at the end.
• Sorting order:
  • equipment;
  • costumes;
  • all other items.
• Within each category, sorting considers:
  • item type;
  • quality;
  • level;
  • enhancement;
  • condition.
• Items with different enhancement levels, properties, stones, durability, or expiration times are never merged together.

Pinned Quests

• The pinned quest list has been moved below the minimap.
• It can be collapsed into a single line.
• Its position and collapsed state are remembered.
• The list automatically hides when important interface windows are open so it does not cover them.

• If a player belongs to multiple categories, priority is:
  • party;
  • friend;

• These colors have also been added to the map legend.

Target Frame

• When another player is selected, their class icon is now displayed in the target frame:
  • warrior;
  • archer;
  • mage.
• Your own class icon is also shown when targeting yourself.
• Monster target frames remain unchanged.

Chat Update

A clickable link will be inserted into the message.

• Item links use the item's rarity color and display its enhancement level.
• Hovering over a link displays a detailed tooltip.

• Message timestamps can be disabled in the settings.
• When logging in, you can see the last 50 messages that were visible before you logged out.

Anti-Spam

• Two consecutive messages can be sent immediately.
• Sending messages too quickly activates a short cooldown.
• Each chat channel has its own cooldown, so activity in one channel does not prevent you from using another.

Adaptive Interface Scaling

• The interface now automatically adapts to the size of the game window.
• Elements become larger on bigger displays and more compact in smaller windows.
• Scaling updates immediately when:
  • resizing the window;
  • maximizing it;
  • switching to fullscreen.
• The Window and Text Size setting remains available for additional adjustment.

Community Window

Acquaintances

A new acquaintance list has been added.
