New Game Introduction
The Game Introduction window will open for all players the next time they log in.
It contains a large amount of information about systems that have been added or changed throughout the development of the project.
We recommend going through it all the way to the end.
12 Feature Sections
The introduction now contains 12 sections.
New sections include:
- Guild Progress
- New Fishing
- Excavation & Potions
- New Progression
- Outfit Dyes
- Custom Interface
- Game Philosophy
These sections explain not only individual mechanics, but also the overall direction of the game's development.
System Screenshots
The sections now include screenshots of game windows and interfaces.
Click a screenshot to open it in a larger view and inspect it in more detail.
More Detailed Descriptions
Content inside each section can now be scrolled.
This allows the introduction to include:
- more detailed descriptions;
- additional explanations;
- more screenshots.
Improved Skill Usage While Moving
Using Skills while moving is now much more convenient.
If you activate a Skill while running:
- the character automatically stops;
- uses the Skill;
- and can then continue moving.
You do not need to release the movement key before using the Skill.
If you release the movement key and press it again while the Skill is being used, the Cast is interrupted.
This makes Skill usage during active movement feel much more natural.
Improved Mouse Movement
Rapid consecutive movement clicks are no longer lost.
Previously, when changing direction quickly, some Click-to-Move commands could be ignored.
The character now responds to every new movement command.
Scalable Game Cursor
The game Cursor now scales together with the interface.
This is especially noticeable at higher resolutions.
For example, on 4K displays the Cursor can appear approximately:
×2 larger
making it significantly easier to see on large screens.
Friendship Window — New Interface
The Friendship Window has been completely redesigned.
The window is larger, and Friends are now displayed as individual cards.
Each Friend shows:
- HP;
- MP;
- Friendship Level;
- Closeness;
- Golden Apple.
Each value is displayed using both:
- a Progress Bar;
- a numerical value.
Friendship Skills
Friendship Skills are now displayed:
in a single row
This makes the window cleaner and makes all available Skills easier to see at a glance.
Elite Potions — Wings
Elite Potions now have a proper visual effect.
After using one, Wings appear behind the character.
Wing size depends on the Potion type:
Regular Elite Potion — Small Wings
Magical Elite Potion — Medium Wings
Physical Elite Potion — Large Wings
The Wings are visible to:
- the player using them;
- other players.
Wing Position Fix
The position of Elite Potion Wings has been corrected.
They now properly sit:
on the character's back
instead of around the waist.
Magical Elite Potion — Male Characters
The visual effect of the Magical Elite Potion has been corrected for male characters.
The three Skulls now:
- appear around the shoulders and above the head;
- face forward;
- no longer point sideways.
Major Russian Localization Update
Another large part of the game has been translated into Russian.

- their red zones.

two arrows in quick succession

It now requires only Fish that can actually be caught in:
- Alpen;
- Rain River.
The number of required Fish types has been reduced from:
16 → 8
Collections
Sets consisting of only:
1 Item
have been removed from Collections.
They are no longer displayed as complete Equipment Sets.
UI Theme Improvements
Several interface elements now properly follow the selected UI Theme.
Updated elements include:
- Fishing Book Cards;
- Party Rows;
- Friendship Frame.
Soul Guardian Fix
The Soul Guardians for Healer and Support Mage have been restored to their correct classes.
They were accidentally swapped in v0.19.6.
Their class assignments are now correct again.
v0.19.9 makes the game noticeably more comfortable for both new and existing players. The expanded Game Introduction explains the project's key systems much better, character controls are more responsive, and Friendship, Elite Potions, and several important interface elements have received additional visual polish.
