Developer Notes

Inventory and Pet Inventory UI were originally announced to be updated during this maintenance.
The development was completed. However, unexpected issues have arisen during the testing phase.
We would like to apologize, because these need to be excluded from today's update until the problems are fixed.
We will resolve them as fast as possible so that the reorganization can be applied.

When improving the Raid difficulty, this time, we'll be updating the acquisition of Abyssal Energy Purification rewards.
If the King of Abyss dies and fills up your Purification Gauge up to 100%, no drop is issued.
Players have created a pattern where they are leaving before King of Abyss dies, and re-clear so the cube drops.
This method is interfering with the natural flow of gameplay, so it will be changed.

Due to this, the Abyssal Energy Purification cube will now be obtained when the gauge reaches 100% and King of Abyss is defeated.

Improvements have been made to the Pet Quick Slot system.
Even though the 'Pet Quick Slot Upgrade' service makes you able to consume an item in regular intervals,
since the HP/MP setting was only applicable up to 99%, it was judged that it didn't provide the intended convenience of use.
To solve this problem, the HP/MP option can now be set to 100%.
About the Special Encouragement cooldown activating on dungeon start, it is an intended mechanic, not a bug.
An extra phrase will be added to its tooltip to avoid further confusion.

There are also many adventurers who are curious about the state of the Reorder Shop, so we will proceed with an explanation.
Basically, all avatars that can be resold might be considered for a resale.

We are preparing new resales according to seasons (new school semester, summer, winter, wedding, Halloween, etc.).
Additionally, during other times, we aim to release a variety of avatar designs and make selections based on the available supply in the marketplace.

Also, after the Dyeing System update, only hairs were added to the Item Shop.
Upon a popular demand, we decided to resell these entire avatars, this time without hair.
In the process, there might be a case where an item is resold once again. Please remember that resales are not just one-off.
We plan to continue with additional progress depending on the situation.

In addition to avatars, we are also planning to resell custom motions and accessories.
As soon as it is ready, we will proceed with a new resale.
