Patch Notes: August 6, 2026

◆General Changes and Fixes

• Guardian Knight (Couple) stats no longer multiply by the number of partners: only your highest-bonded partner's tier buff applies
• Guardian Knight buffs are now restored after death instead of staying gone until relog
• Cooking now ends exactly when the last ingredient runs out, instead of leaving you on a finished board for several seconds
• Fishing no longer needs the rod re-equipped after every map change to work
• Fishing spots can now be clicked immediately after zoning, since the client is told your real casting range on map load
• All deep sea fishing spots have been disabled
• The bite alert now shows the correct rarity and sound for the fish actually on your line
• Reeling in a fish no longer skips straight into the next minigame: each catch now runs a full cast, bite and hook cycle
• Nearby players can now see your fishing animations: casting, the bite, and the catch effect
• Penguin Bandits summoned while fishing can now be killed for their loot
• You are now automatically dismounted when you pick a fishing spot, instead of the click doing nothing
• Damage-over-time effects from weapon and gear procs now credit you with the kill, so the monster properly drops its loot
• Drone Keeper element conversion now converts elemental skill damage as intended, and the panel matches the damage you deal
• Gemstone tooltips in your inventory now show the stats the gem actually grants, instead of inflated values
  • This is only a visual change. The stats they showed were incorrect from what they actually gave. Now the values shown are accurate to values given
• Unsocketing or fortifying a gem no longer strips the stats of other gems sharing the same bonus
• Gem enchantments are now restored after death rather than being missing until you relog
• Fixed Justitia (Guild Hall Artifact Summon).
  • Now has her Bounty as a reward.
  • Additionally, increased her size for visibility.
• Changed "Athena's Soul Fragment" to "Byakko's Soul Fragment". Due to how accessible Athena is to obtain (via Guild Hall Fountains and Sanctuary of the Eidolons), we changed it to give players Byakko's Soul Fragment instead. All Athena's Soul Fragments obtained will become Byakko's Soul Fragments upon logging in.
  • Additionally, when fusing these Soul Fragments together, you will now receive "Byakko's Guild Hall Artifact" now.
• Added "Byakko's Bounty" to Byakko (Guild Hall Artifact Summon).
• Greater elixir recipe learning cost 150g -> 100g
• Superior elixir recipe learning cost 100g -> 150g
• Added new models for Pink/White/Red/Black Elf Ears, specifically to fix the sizing issues for Shota and Loli.
• Green armor and weapons only go up to 120%
• Gold armor and weapons go up to 140%
