Auto Training Zone
The new Auto Training Zone function can be enabled in Settings & Information.

This function is also available in the Telegram Bot.
Poker Settings
New Poker customization options have been added:
- Different deck styles.
- Turn sounds.
- Custom bet buttons.
World Chat Macros
World Chat (&) messages can now be used inside macros.

Added a new Use Gear Score as Rank option.
The Rank Modifier now supports values with up to 4 decimal places.
Settings & Information
Settings & Information is now pinned in the default menu for easier access.
Class Change & Profession System
Profession Changes
Pailaka is no longer required to change your profession.
Players can now freely complete their profession changes without having to complete Pailaka or any additional requirement.
Class Change Penalty
The Class Change EXP penalty has been reduced:
- Healers & Tanks: 5%
- All other classes: 10%
Class changes once again apply the cost as EXP Debt.
Support Classes
The following classes count as supports for the 5% Class Change EXP Debt:
- Bishop
- Cardinal
- Elven Elder
- Eva's Saint
- Shillien Elder
- Shillien Saint
- Paladin
- Phoenix Knight
- Dark Avenger
- Hell Knight
- Temple Knight
- Eva's Templar
- Shillien Knight
- Shillien Templar
Party EXP & Support Bonus
The Party EXP Support Bonus has been expanded to include additional first-profession support classes.
First-class Healers and Knights now count toward the Party Support Bonus, including classes such as:
- Clerics
- Oracles
- Knights
- Other first professions belonging to classes that later provide the existing Support EXP Bonus
The Party EXP tooltip has also been simplified and no longer displays the old 3 / 4 / 5 member bonus information.
Debuff System Changes
The way P. Def. and M. Def. reduction debuffs work has been adjusted.
General Debuff Stacking
Multiple P. Def. or M. Def. reduction debuffs no longer stack with each other.
If several different defense-reduction debuffs are applied to the same monster, only the strongest applicable debuff will remain effective.
This means players can no longer combine several P. Def. or M. Def. reduction effects to heavily reduce a monster's defenses.
Party Single-Target Hunting Grounds
In Party Single-Target content, P. Def. and M. Def. reduction debuffs are fully disabled.
These debuffs will not provide their defense-reduction effect against monsters in this type of content.
Solo AoE Zones
Sanctuary has been disabled in Solo AoE hunting zones.
This adjustment prevents Sanctuary from providing an unintended advantage in Solo AoE content and keeps the performance of classes in these zones closer to the intended balance.
These changes target the interaction of defense-reduction debuffs across different content and are intended to prevent excessive stacking and major differences in efficiency caused by particular debuff combinations.
Eigis Strongholds
The Eigis Stronghold Device has been reworked.
- Strongholds now receive exactly 1 damage per hit.
- Strongholds have 15 HP.
- Strongholds cannot be healed.
This makes destroying a Stronghold dependent on the number of successful attacks rather than character damage.
Clan Shop
Adjusted Clan Shop rewards.

Hover effects on buttons and Minigame cards have also been simplified.
