Developer's Comment
Unlike other mounts, the damage of horse skills is affected by the AP of the mounted character. This is so that your horse will get stronger as your character grows.
However, the damage of these skills varied depending on which character type was mounted (melee, ranged, caster) and was fixed through this week’s update.

Developer’s Comment
Auto Fishing was greatly improved by adding the feature where you could choose to discard fish according to their grade.
However, this also caused unwanted items to pile up in your inventory.
To resolve this, we've added traders so you can make use of these items for Fishing, Courser Training, Contribution, and etc.

Developer’s Comment
Now you can transport Trade Goods across long distances.
However, this wagon costs more than the usual to operate, so that those who still use a wagon or miniature elephant full of trade goods themselves could still benefit a better profit.
