[h3]Astrologer Update:[/h3]

• The new Battle Astrologer Talent is here! See the update post for more information!
  • An all new story! Join Delaney and Neal as they progress in their pilgrimage.
  • New Weapons, Enchants, Upgrades, and more!

[h3]Additional following changes have been made to the game:[/h3]

• The number of spirits you can contract has been increased by 2, allowing you to contract up to 8 types of Spirit Weapons.
  • Eiry the Ancient Spirit is not included in the maximum contractable quantity.
• You are now able to search and sort your Point Inventory!
  • You can select your point inventory to display your items in either alphabetical order or by date when you received the item.

• The maximum number of additional equipment slots that can be expanded with Extra Equipment Slot Expansion Coupon will be increased from 12 -> 16.
  • Hotkeys for the additional Extra Equipment Slots have also been added under the Hotkey Settings menu.

• The Pet/Partner limit has been increased from 300 to 400.

• A "Related Quest" description has been added to item tooltips.
  • These will display items that are relevant to Generational Storylines, Arcana Questline, etc.
  • Quest Names are shaded depending on whether the quest has been completed, is in progress, or already completed.

• We improved the character appearance preset provided when first creating a character.
  • When creating a new character, the color of the premium newbie wear and shoes worn will be fixed.
  • The color of this costume can be changed later through dyeing.

• Several previously coupon-only styles will be changed to premium appearances.
  • These changed appearances can be selected for free when creating a new character.
    • However, character cards that only allow selection of basic appearances cannot have that appearance selected.
  • You can change to these options using 5 Pon through Rebirth or in the Dressing Room.
  • Appearances can still be changed using an existing Beauty Coupon for the changed appearance.

• We unleashed the shackles from our Localization team and asked them to rewrite the older descriptions for Paper and Paper Cranes.
  • We think the new descriptions show our modern approach to Localization. How do you feel about them?
• You can now collect Flint near Pera Volcano through the use of Rain Casting.
• The following balance adjustments have been implemented:
  
  • Smokescreen
    • The duration of the effect has been increased; for Rank 1, increased from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.
    • When using Smokescreen on an enemy that is already under the effect, the condition timer will refresh.
  • Fateweaver
    • The duration of the effect has been increased; for Level 10, increased from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.
  • Death Mark
    • The duration of the effect has been increased; for Rank 1 to Dan 3, increased from 15 seconds to 40 seconds.
• The probability of a rank increase for Precise Reforging Tools, Exquisite Reforging Tools, and Dazzling Reforging Tools has been increased.
  • The probability of a rank increase for Precise Reforging Tools will be increased to the same probability as the Exquisite Reforging Tools.

【 Developer Comments 】 This Astrologer update also brings the addition of the Scythe weapon, which is expected to increase demand for Reforging Tools. Accordingly, in order to alleviate some of the burden of using Reforging Tools, the rank upgrade probability of paid Reforging Tools has been increased. In order to narrow the gap between paid and free reforges, Precise Reforging Tools have been adjusted to have the same probability of being used for rank upgrades as the upgraded Exquisite Reforging Tools.
