New Additions and Improvements
After the last update, we have adjusted Maehwa Awakening's assassination capabilities. While our goal was to balance her ability to deal melee damage and assassinate for better flexibility, her current performance in both areas has fallen short of expectations.
To address this, we are leaning further into her role as an assassin by boosting her ability to assassinate with Air Attack. However, all Down Smash effects have been removed to prevent long skill combos on a failed assassination after a single CC attempt.
Furthermore, to better fit her improved assassination kit, her survivability has been adjusted to depend more on using the Invincible effect to avoid damage rather than engaging in direct confrontations.

- Changed the Skill Add-on tier to 1.

We have reduced the damage of Kunoichi Succession's Super Armor skills used for CC or direct combat, as they were overperforming relative to her role as an assassin.
Conversely, we have increased the damage and stability of Wheel of Wrath, allowing Kunoichi to better fulfill her role through the explosive damage from the Ninjutsu buffs.

Barter Improvements
To better accommodate new Adventurers venturing into the Great Ocean for the first time, several improvements have been made to barters.
First, three barter routes are now available even to those who haven't bartered before, making it easier to accumulate their total barter count. Additionally, we have halved the number of total barters required to unlock the maximum number of normal barter routes. The list of normal items that can be exchanged for Lv. 1 trade goods has also been revamped to better suit the current environment.
The Crow Coin Shop has also received several changes. With the recent addition of Lv. 6 and Lv. 7 barter routes and the Blue Battlefield update, more Adventurers have been looking to craft and upgrade ships. To facilitate faster progression, the prices of related materials have been adjusted.
Furthermore, items in the Crow Shop with daily purchase limits have been removed and replaced with those with weekly limits, allowing you to acquire larger quantities at a lower price. Finally, Tidal Black Stones for ship enhancement and Vell's Fine Powder Boxes that recharge Alchemy Stones have been added to the shop. Sea Crystals, which were difficult to obtain, are now also available for purchase with Crow Coins.
- Changed the requirements for expanding inland trade routes based on total barters as follows:
- The following changes apply only to Normal through Lv. 5 barters.
- Crow Coin and Margoria's Star trade routes remain unchanged.
- Adjusted the total barter counts required for trade route expansion to more intuitive values.
- Example: 2,551 barters -> 2,500 barters.

Monster
World Bosses Quint and Muraka Improvements
Quint and Muraka are special World Bosses featuring unique mechanics that allow Adventurers to use cannons. Initially, many Adventurers used these cannons to subjugate the bosses, making full use of them.
Over time, it has become easier to defeat Quint and Muraka without the cannons. In fact, using cannons has become a disadvantage for those aiming for the higher-tier reward, as it hinders their ability to accumulate total damage. Furthermore, the overall loot from these bosses was less valuable compared to other World Bosses, making them less lucrative to subjugate for Adventurers.
With this update, we have removed all part destruction mechanics to minimize unnecessary hassle and make the combat more intuitive and faster. For Muraka, the cannon mechanic has been removed entirely, allowing you to experience the battle using only your character's strength. For Quint, cannon use is no longer required but now deals more damage than general attacks, offering more freedom in your strategy.
- Adjusted the World Boss Quint as follows:
- Quint now uses attacks that empower specific body parts.
- Hitting the empowered body part with a cannon will deal extra damage and gradually weaken Quint.
- Improved Monster Bashers to deal additional damage to Quint.
- Quint now uses attacks that empower specific body parts.
- Adjusted the World Boss Muraka as follows:
- Removed the part-destruction mechanic to ensure a more natural combat flow.
- Added a new combat mechanic involving Muraka's Black Gems.
- Increased the loot rewards obtainable for defeating World Bosses Quint and Muraka.

Monster Zone Info UI Improvements

Arena of Solare Ally Location Indicator
In Arena of Solare, 3v3 PvP content, tracking the shifting positions of allies and enemies is a key to victory. As Adventurers who aren't used to such content may find it difficult to stay aware of moving allies, we've added a new Ally Location Indicator function, which was also previously introduced as Arena of Solare HUD. Since combat is the priority, this UI has been designed with a translucent opacity to minimize visual clutter.- Added a feature to display the location and status of allies in the Arena of Solare.
- Class icons for allies will move along the edges of the screen.
- The edge icons will disappear when an ally's character is visible on the screen.
- Icons are semi-transparent by default and will become opaque with an added effect when an ally is hit by a CC skill.
- The number displayed at the bottom of the icon indicates the distance between your character and the ally.
