  • When creating a pet obtained through the VIP Service, it will display "(VIP)" next to its name in the Pet/Partner Information window.
  • We’ve moved the “Add/Delete Favorites” buttons to the bottom of the Synthesis UI to avoid accidental clicking when auto-registering items for the selected recipe!
  • Struggling to lure monsters in Saga’s Episode 3 Mission, “Defeat the Guards”? We got ya covered - by adding in extra text to better understand how to proceed through the mission. You got this!
  • Always got a squad member off doing their own thing away from the Emblem Entrance for your Girgashiy Raid? We’ll now give you a notice when a squad member is not near the emblem.

  • Ruairi's legacy of streaking may have influenced Islanders in a few Milletians Moonlight Islands these past few months, but no longer!

  • Certain Homestead Installations will no longer vibrate wildly when attempting to place them.
  • Corrected the behavior when using Alt+Click when your inventory is full and removing items from your off-hand slot.
  • We've tweaked the ballistae on Air Commerce Ships to better aim during Red Dragon encounters.

  • Added a few more details to a few song titles (Jukebox and MabiNovel). Do you have a favorite track?
