Added 3 new hairstyles for male classes.         

   

 

 

MAJOR UPDATES - Revamped Rich Merchant's Ring

        Revamped the Rich Merchant's Ring. This ring is the most precious treasure known to marketplace directors all across the continent, because it is the legacy of Al Yurad, the most respected figure in all of Valencian trade history.             

        

- Now the Rich Merchant's Ring will apply an effect that increases market silver collection (tax reduction) instead of increasing marketplace bidding chance.             

 

- Using the ring will apply the effect permanently onto your Family. You can check the applied effect in the Central Market window. The Rich Merchant's Ring won't disappear after use.             

• Sightings of the Merchant Prince's Ring Pieces have been reported all over the continent. One adventurer has compiled all of those reports into the following clues.             

 

 

- The Fourth Piece will be available with the O'dyllita update.             

• To motivate adventurers seeking the Rich Merchant's Ring, market directors from all over the continent have joined with the Old Moon Guild to create the Old Moon Trade Pass.             

Bring a Shimmering Piece of the Old Moon to Chloe, the resident prankster of the Old Moon Guild, who will exchange it for the Old Moon Trade Pass.             

You can obtain Shimmering Piece of the Old Moon through various means.             

• The Old Moon Trade Pass shares the same effect with the Rich Merchant's Ring, but its effect will only last one use.             

- Using the Old Moon Trade Pass will consume it, and you can confirm its effects on the Central Market window. Its effect will be applied when selling an item.             

- The Old Moon Trade Pass effect can be applied to one item, including cases when the same item is sold in a stack. The effect will be applied even if you use the Partial Collect function. However, withdrawing listed items will negate the effect and it will be gone.             

• Added an icon on the lower left-hand side of the Central Market window to appear when the Rich Merchant's Ring is in effect.             

 

MAJOR UPDATES

• Added the Skill Preset function.             

- Skill Presets save all currently learned skills and skill Add-ons which You can bring back when You need.             

- You can save Skill Preset anytime, but to load Skill Preset you will either need a Secret Book of Old Moon and be in a Safe Zone, or go find a skill instructor.             

 

 

※ Using a Secret Book of Old Moon to load previously saved Skill Presets will lock you to a 1 hour cooldown, while talking to a skill instructor only has a 10 minute cooldown.             

- You can obtain one skill Preset Coupon For each time you complete your class Awakening and Succession quests.           

  

 

※ You will get two Skill Preset Expansion Coupons when you complete a series of Talent or Ascension quests.             

- Characters that have already completed their respective Awakening, Succession, Talent, or Ascension quests series can talk to the Black Spirit to obtain the coupons via the [Skill Preset Coupon] quests.             

- When loading a Skill Preset, your character will act out differently according to their class.             

- You can reset your skills without the Secret Book of Old Moon or Armstrong's Skill Guide via the notification window which pops up regarding skill reset upon saving or loading Skill Presets.

- You cannot use the Skill Preset function if you do not reset your skills, so make sure to reset your skills in the notification window.
