Ship captains across the Great Ocean will now find the process of enhancing their ship equipment simplified, as the required material item has been streamlined to a single type: the "Tidal Black Stone".

 

With this simplification, enhancing ship equipment will be based solely on the quantity of "Tidal Black Stones" rather than finding the appropriate type. Consequently, the various items previously obtained through quests, defeating Great Ocean monsters, or bartering can now all be acquired as "Tidal Black Stones", making management much more convenient.

 

This change eliminates the hassle that new captains faced when first upgrading their ships, as they no longer need to continuously exchange Lv. 1 barter items for "Verdant Black Stones."

 

Most notably, the enhancement process for Carrack/Panokseon equipment has been made more convenient. Now, there's no need to send workers to production nodes to collect "Starlight Powder" in advance, or to workshops to craft "Sunset Black Stones." This improvement allows both novice captains preparing their own Carrack and those striving to further enhance their existing Carrack to set sail with a lighter heart.

• Simplified the means to enhance ship equipment into one enhancement material: the Tidal Black Stone.

• Added Tidal Black Stone to the Crow Coin Shop available for Crow Coin x10.
  • You can also obtain the Tidal Black Stone through various means such as quests, Bartering, exchanging level 2 to 3 sea trade goods, and defeating Great Ocean sea creatures.
  • As a result, Frosted and Fiery Black Stones and Starlight Crystals will no longer be available for purchase.
    • Any Starlight Crystals already in possession can be sold for Crow Coin x100 each, which is equivalent to their original purchase price.

• Simplified the types and adjusted the amount of Black Stones required to enhance ship equipment as follows.

Before		After
Verdant Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x1
Fiery Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x1
Frosted Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x2
Solar Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x20
Lunar Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x30
Sunset Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x50

• The amount of Tidal Black Stones required to enhance ship equipment per enhancement level are as follows.

• Due to the simplification of ship equipment enhancement, any of the previous Black Stones in possession have been removed and reimbursed with an appropriate amount of Tidal Black Stones.

Removed Item		Reimbursed Item
Fiery Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x1
Frosted Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x2
Solar Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x20
Lunar Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x30
Sunset Black Stone		Tidal Black Stone x50

• Changed the items exchangeable with Level 2 to 3 Sea Trade Goods via Baori at Iliya Island as follows.

• Removed and added some items to the loot tables of defeated Great Ocean sea creatures as follows.

• Removed and added some items to the quest rewards and Barter/Special Barter items as follows.
  • The Ravinia's Wiggly-Waggly Letter quest will always reward Tidal Black Stone x10 upon completion.

• Changed the following ship part workshops to no longer craft Sunset Black Stones due to all ship equipment now being enhanced with Tidal Black Stones.
  • Illiya Island - Chiro's Ship Part Workshop
  • Nampo's Moodle Village - Byukgye Ship Part Workshop
• Discontinued the following processing recipes.
  • Fiery Black Stone x10 + Starlight Crystal x1 = Solar Black Stone
  • Frosted Black Stone x10 + Starlight Crystal x1 = Lunar Black Stone
• Changed the following production nodes to no longer produce Starlight Powder due to the discontinuation of Sunset Black Stone crafting.
  • Al-Naha Island - Chiro's Cannon Workshop
  • Racid Island - Chiro's Sail Workshop
  • Tinberra Island - Chiro's Figurehead Workshop
  • Lerao Island - Chiro's Black Plating Workshop
  • Dallae Pier - Dallae Pier Quarry
  • Changed the following trade goods for Bartering.

• Changed the required item for the following mass processing recipes to Black Stone Powder due to Starlight Powder no longer being utilized.

• Changed text for certain items and quests related to the aforementioned changes.
• Changed the descriptions of openable boxes affected by the ship equipment enhancement item simplification.
  • The items obtainable from affected boxes have also been changed. (Set probabilities and amount remain same as before.)

• Synchronized the market prices of two different types of defense gear with the same name on the Central Market.
  • Dahn's Gloves (2 types), Ator's Shoes (2 types)
• The price for the Evasion type has been adjusted to match the Damage Reduction type.

• Fixed the issue where some monsters did not respawn.

• During The Silent Hanging Gardens quest, the Trace of Ancient Gervish hidden in Kiernak Falls with the slate of the Altar of Gervish began to shine.
  • Trace of Ancient Gervish, which initially shines dimly, emits a more intense light over time.

• Fixed the issue where you could not accept the Lost Necklace quest from Islin Bartali in Velia from Lv. 31.
  • The quest can now be accepted regardless of level, after completing the [Balenos] The Chief's Gift quest.

• Changed the category of Knowledge of Kakuo from The Great Expedition V to People of Stonebeak Shore.

• Improved the Mediah main questline to allow adventurers to acquire following Knowledge through the Black Spirit:
  • [Knowledge] Cursed Chest: Adventurers who have completed Art of Stealing or Unexpected Discovery but do not own the Knowledge of the Cursed Chest.
  • [Knowledge] Seal of the Black Sun: Adventurers who have completed the Seal of the Black Sun quest but do not own its knowledge.

• Improved the navigation feature for the Journey to Ulukita with Rulupee quest.

• Adjusted the DP and Max Durability of the following Annexes.

• Fixed the display of Glish during the use of Assemble! and resurrection area selection during Node War in the Serendia Territory.
• Improved the notification message that appears at the end of a Node War to only be displayed on the specific Node War server.            
• Improved the synchronization of Fort durability in the "Fort Status Widget" that appears to all adventurers on the server during an ongoing Node War.            
• Changed the system to move players to a nearby town if they enter a server where a Node War is in progress and are within the Node War area.            
• Fixed the issue where the Conquest War Participation Opportunities were not deleted for the alliance leader's guild when the alliance was disbanded after obtaining the Conquest War Participation Opportunities with the alliance.            

• Removed the function that allowed offensive Guilds/Alliances to obtain a portion of the taxes when they successfully defended in a Conquest War.
• Changed the Join Node War button to always be displayed in Menu (ESC) - War - Node War.

We've improved the Item Collection Increase Gauge UI to now automatically appear in Combat Zones, making it more convenient and noticeable for PvE-prone Adventurers. Displayed in a deactivated state, Adventurers can choose to activate levels at their discretion, or they can also choose to hide it for the day if they prefer.

• Updated the Item Collection Increase Gauge to automatically display upon entering a Combat Zone.
  • This UI is displayed at Lv. 0 (deactivated) state and levels can be activated with LMB or turned off with RMB.

• Added 1 loading screen image.

• Fixed the discrepancy where the type of sap used in the crafting recipe for the following Artisan's Special Stuffed items with Breath of Omua did not match the description:

• Fixed the issue where water at a specific location in O'dyllita Castle was flowing in the opposite direction.
• Fixed the issue where the outer walls of the castle were not visible from certain locations in the Castle Ruins.
• Fixed the issue where, during the tutorial, using the fast forward feature to zoom in on the scroll kept the camera's field of view zoomed in after selecting the starting region.
• Fixed the issue where it was not possible to mine collectibles such as flagstone and sandstone at certain locations in Pujiya Canyon.
• Fixed the positioning of NPCs near Valencia Castle Site to be more natural.
