|  SHAI

● [Shai] Improved the Pearl Vitclari outfits (excluding functional costumes) to apply 2 parts of the outfit slot equip effect. Equipping 7 parts of Pearl outfits (excluding functional costumes) will now apply the 8 parts outfit slot equip effect for Shai.

• ● New skill 'Gather Around!' that Shai can cast while using Florang has been added. 
• ● Sun, Moon, Stars, Time to Shine!, Shout to the Sky, and Summer Rain now increase in range the longer you maintain the skills to affect allies who are farther away.

• ● Fixed Misty Haze, Delusive Light, Sun, Moon, Stars, Shout to the Sky, Time to Shine!, Summer Rain to apply their buffs even if you move right after taking out your instruments.
• ● The application method of buffs from Misty Haze, Delusive Light, and Sun, Moon, Stars was changed to the following.

- The level of the skill has priority over the caster's Sol enhancement level.

- When affected with the same buff, the higher level skill will have priority.

- When affected with the same buff from the same skill level, the skill with higher enhancement level will have priority.

→ If cast at the same time, Caster B's buff will be applied.

|  ITEM

● Changed the chance of acquiring the Golden Mirage item to be lower.

|  MOUNT 

• ● Fixed the issue where the damage of Charge and Fore Chop of all Dream Horses were affected differently depending on the mounted character.

● Also fixed the issue where the damage of Dark Flame Steps and Dark Sprint of Dream Doom were affected differently depending on the mounted character.

[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.

This caused the damage to vary depending on which character type was mounted (melee, ranged, caster), hence the fix has been applied through this week’s update.
