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.

NPC Names & Signs

Names and signs for approximately:

50 NPCs

have been translated in:

• Fantangle;
• Night Valley;
• Swamps;
• Ice Quarry.

Titles

All Titles have now been translated.

This includes:

1,900 Dialogue Lines

207 Quests

that were previously available only in English have now been translated.

Transporter

World names in the Transporter list are now also displayed in Russian.

Ranked Arena

During a Ranked Arena Match, Training Ground objects are now completely removed from the battlefield.

The Arena no longer contains:

• Training Targets;
• Healing Patient;
• Defense Trainers;
• their red zones.

AoE Skills also no longer interact with training objects during Ranked Arena Matches.

Ballista

Fixed a Basic Attack issue with Ballista.

Previously, Ballista could fire:

two arrows in quick succession

Shots now occur strictly according to the correct:

Attack Time

Player Targeting Range

Other players can now be selected with the mouse from up to:

60 meters

Previously, after approximately 30 meters, a character could still be visible but could no longer be selected.

Mutant Red Coo-Coo Blade

The Monster:

Mutant Red Coo-Coo Blade

in Rain River no longer stands at the bottom of the river.

It has been moved:

onto the shore

First Fishing Book

The first Fishing Book has been simplified and made more logical for new players.

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.
