• ● Improved Epheria Sailboat and Improved Epheria Frigate were added to the list of ships that can install the Benelois Ship Parts Set.

 Imperial Craft Delivery, methods of crafting cooking boxes in particular, were re-adjusted.
The major reason for this change was to adjust the difficulty of crafting these boxes to match their grade. Cooking efficiency is directly correlated to how the ingredients are gathered. So, cooking with the less ingredients that need to be gathered personally by Adventurers makes the food more efficient to cook. Looking at the previous item list, certain foods required ingredients that were extraneous to gather while some of the higher-grade food used ingredients that were easier to obtain. The amount required was also re-adjusted so that the overall profit from the boxes isn't affected. However, we adjusted the food harder to make to be required to make the higher-grade boxes while food that are easier to make were changed to be put into the lower-grade box.

|  MONSTER

|  MOUNT 

• ● The toggle function for mount skills was added. (Excludes guild mounts)
• We received feedback that the skill training minigame activating even during inconvenient moments was a nuisance. Therefore, we decided to add this feature so you can have more choice about when to use your mount's skills.

• ● The mount skill toggle will be maintained even if the mount gets checked into the Stable/Wharf or gets killed/destroyed.

 - The mount skills Courser's Spirit and Two-seater cannot be toggled.

• ● The camera angles and dismount function for large ships were improved.

 - The camera angle when mounting the Epheria Carrack was improved so that it would zoom out and widen your view once you start sailing.

 - The camera angle and effects were changed for better immersion when using sailing skills (PowerAccel., BreezySail, Ram) on large ships (Bartali Sailboat, Epheria Sailboat, Improved Epheria Sailboat, Epheria Frigate, Improved Epheria Frigate, [Guild] Galley, Epheria Carrack) and the Epheria Cog.

 - Pressing "R" while moving or using sailing skills on the ships mentioned above will stop the ship quickly, which makes it easier to get off the ship.

 - The command for the sailing skill "Quick-Retreat" was changed to "Shift + S". Pressing "S" when the ship is still will make it move backwards slowly. Pressing "Shift + S" will activate the skill "Quick-Retreat" which allows ships to move backwards faster than before.
