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.
