Dream Horse Doom, one of the offspring of Krogdalo of Kamasylvia has finally arose from the darkness.
- The new trail-blazing Dream Horse performs the strongest attacks and is also the swiftest.
- Doom can be obtained by training then awakening a Tier 8 Lv. 30 courser with a Krogdalo's Origin Stone via NPC Gula of Stonetail Horse Ranch and NPC Melabee of Grána.
- You want to focus the training of your courser to increase Strength (over Skill and Elegance) if you want to get a higher chance to obtain Doom from successfully awakening your courser.
- If you succeed in awakening your Tier 8 courser, it will be reborn as one of the three Dream Horses: Arduanatt, Diné, or Doom.
- If you fail in awakening your courser, its stats for Skill, Elegance, and Strength will all reset. If you used Cron Stones during your attempt at awakening your courser, only half of the training stats will disappear.

Rewards

As shared with the Dev Note published yesterday (4/29), the +530% Combat & Skill EXP Scroll x53 will be available for 1 Loyalty in the Loyalties tab in the in-game Pearl Shop (F3) from May 29 after maintenance - June 5th before regular maintenance. This special item consisting of 53 scrolls will be available once per in-game Family.

Large Ships (Galley, Epheria Sailboat, Epheria Frigate, Old Bartali Sailboat) can now be Repaired continuously.
- You can perform this when Repairing a Ship with materials for Repair held in Inventory.
- If you use up all the necessary materials for Repair or if the Durability of the Ship becomes 100%, Repairing will stop automatically. (However, if you are attacked, Repairing may stop.)

Fixed the issue where the attacking guilds in the offensive side appeared to be fighting each other in Conquest War.
The apprentice Guild Member promotion method has been changed as follows:
- Apprentice promoted after two weeks have passed at noon → Apprentice promoted when entering the game after two weeks of requirement period has passed.

In order to alleviate the difference among Life Skill levels, the required EXP and obtained EXP have been readjusted for Hunting, Training, Farming, and Sailing. (However, Life Skill EXP obtained from quests will not change.)
- We have decided to make adjustments for the 4 Life Skills above in order to alleviate the difference among Life Skills Levels. Therefore, we reduced required EXP for Sailing and increased obtainable EXP for Hunting, Training and Farming. We’ll bring our best to preserve the value of every Adventurer’s efforts.
  - Required EXP decreased – Sailing
  - Obtainable EXP increased – Hunting, Training, Farming, Sailing, Fishing, Trade
- With the change of the obtainable and required EXP amount, Life Skill Level for Hunting, Training, Farming and Sailing will also increase proportional to the adjustment made.

- Afuaru may try to use a smokescreen to escape your pursuit. If this happens, you can try using a skill with CC effects to prevent him from escaping.
  - However, it would be best to defeat Afuaru swiftly, because when Afuaru uses his smokescreen for the third time you will not be able to stop him from escaping.
- Afuaru will appear on your minimap when he spawns.
- Afuaru will disappear one minute after he spawns. Please try to defeat it in its brief spawn time frame.

Central Market was the first step to create a free market economy where you as the adventurer create your own market without much restriction. We wanted to ensure convenience and accessibility to bring more joy to the art of trading.
- However, after the Central Market update, the price gap between equipment which were not upgraded and equipment which were upgraded to ultimate gradually increased due to the amount of equipment upgraded to blue grade rarely being sold or purchased.
- Therefore due to profit margins being made by the use of these characteristics of the Central Market, we implemented the following changes.

1. Equipment upgraded to blue grade have been removed. from the Central Market.
-The previous upgraded blue equipment have been changed to the yellow grade (ultimate) equipment.

2. Equipment upgraded to yellow grade can no longer be bought or sold at the Central Market.

- Yellow grade equipment can be registered after the reform stone has been extracted and downgraded back to green from the Blacksmith or Arms Dealer NPC.
- For extraction, you need 1 Restoration Stone which is sold for 1,000 Silver from the Blacksmith or Arms Dealer NPC. Extraction will result in the following: the equipment prior to being upgraded and an Ultimate Weapon/Armor Reform Stone.

3. With grades 1, 2, and 3 Reform Stones, you will have a chance to upgrade to yellow grade (ultimate) equipment.

4. When Crafting from the Workshop, you can obtain the original crafting equipment and have a chance to obtain yellow grade (ultimate) equipment.

5. Added a visual and sound effect which is displayed when upgrade has succeeded or failed.

6. When attempting an upgrade, the upgrade value for the equipment you are attempting to upgrade will be displayed.

We are aware of the issue where the enhancement level displayed in the purchase window at the Central Market is different from the equipment you purchase from the +12 or lower equipment (for when there are 2 or more enhancement levels in a single category of a group of equipment you are purchasing the equipment from).
- If the item you want to purchase is registered at the Central Market, then you will be able to purchase the item at the enhancement level you selected, and you will pay the amount based on the price of the selected enhancement level.
