MAJOR UPDATES - Mythical Arduanatt
● Added a new dream horse available through Mythical Awakening, the Mythical Arduanatt.
- Stable your Arduanatts with Gula, stable keeper of Stonetail Horse Ranch, to attempt Mythical Awakening.
- You will need 1 male and 1 female Lv. 30 Arduanatts.
- Use the Mythical Censer to attempt Mythical Awakening which has a fixed success rate of 3%.
- Successfully breeding the 2 Arduanatts will lead to 1 awakened Mythical Arduanatt.
- If you fail, the 2 Arduanatts can be recovered at any time, and you can use the Mythical Censer to try again.
- Newly born Mythical Arduanatts will retain all the previous skills they had gained from birth along with a new skill given upon the birth of a Mythical Arduanatt.
- Arduanatt's skill from birth will be at 100% mastery and will not disappear even if you reset their growth.
- The base price of the Mythical Arduanatt will be higher than the combined prices of the male and female Lv. 30 Arduanatts. However, due to its uniqueness, it cannot be registered in the horse market.
- Mythical Arduanatt is a legendary dream horse born from Mythical Awakening and does not specify a gender.

NEW & IMPROVEMENTS
| CONTENTS
● Added the Naval Fame system.
- Naval Fame is shared across the Family and measures the adventurer's Karma at sea.
- Naval Fame begins at 0, can be restored up to 300,000, or fall to -1,000,000.
- If your Naval Fame is greater than 0, you'll become a "Marine", and if lower than 0, a "Pirate."
- While in pirate status, your ship will be marked in red, allowing you to be attacked by the ships of adventurers without activating PvP mode.
- Each time you force PvP by attacking an adventurer, your first attack will reduce your Naval Fame by -50,000.
- You can no longer ride the Guild Galley if your Naval Fame is in pirate mode.
- Destroying a ship reduces your Naval Fame by -200,000.
- The act of defeating an adventurer, after destroying a ship, will reduce your Karma not Naval Fame.
- While in pirate status, you won't be able to interact with, repair or supply your ship through normal wharf managers. You will only be able to repair and resupply your ship through Gafur, the wharf manager of the pirate-ridden Kuit Islands.
- You can restore your Naval Fame by defeating Sea Creatures.
- Your Naval Fame is affected by Guild Skills, Pet Skills, Tear of Repentance, and other Karma Recovery effects. However, your Naval Fame is not affected by the Book of Repentance.
