[GM-Ciar]

• Quest & NPC Updates:
  
• The Valentine's Day Quest has been removed, hope you enjoyed it!
  
• Mr. Hatter now accepts drops cards to play his sick little games!
  
• An NPC has been added near the Bio Lab F3 warp leading to F4, to facilitate access to the area. Simply click on it and select "Rush in" when asked if you want to run for the stairs, to be warped to F4.
  
• The Bio Lab F4 item trader now accepts trades for the exact item amounts. For example, it previously required 151 blood thirst to trade, even though it took only 150.
  
• The Faeheim Costume Crafter should now accept the correct Elven Ears item.
  
• The Faeheim Armor Enchanter should now properly detect Ebony Armor as an enchantable item.
  
  Skill Updates:
  
• The skill "Wide Sight", also known as NPC_WIDESIGHT, has been edited to have increased range depending on level, similar to the other wide skills. Currently, absolutely no mob in HeRO uses this skill, meaning there is no possibility of existing monsters becoming imbalanced by this change. However, now the doors are opened for new PVM strategies in the future.
  
• Not quite a skill update per se, but: Due to the inability of gear and card scripts to affect the Marine Sphere skill, we've edited the behavior of the monster directly. Previously, marine spheres only attempted to detonate when physically attacked by an alchemist, or whenever their HP fell below 99%. Additionally, from now on, Alchemist Marine Spheres hit by the skill cart revolution skill will also attempt to detonate, to facilitate detonating many at once. If hit by fire bolt, they will detonate instantly, with no cast time. And if hit by the skills magnum break or demonstration, they will cast snap/body relocation to any cell within a 9x9 area, and detonate 2 seconds after. We hope this allows for more varied and hectic uses of this vastly unused skill!
  
  Mapflags
  
• The last floor of Geffen Dungeon, the first floor of the nightmare pyramids, and bifrost fields 1 and 2 no longer send you to your save point upon logging out.
  
• The following maps can now be /memo'd: hu_fild01, um_fild01~03, prt_monk, yuno_fild02~10, ra_fild01, ra_fild05~10, ve_fild01~04, ve_fild06, and bra_fild01. Maps that remain unmemorable are due to MVP spawns or quests. If you think an unmemorable map should be free to memo, let us know via forum, discord or support ticket.
  
  Monsters
  
• In preparation for a future update, Sohee now drops Evolved Pair of Ribbon (+5 Flee Mids) at 0.30%, which Eye of Surtur currently drops.
  
• Lost Dragon now drops the correct Vit+10 Food (The same one Hydro drops). It previously dropped one with a different item ID, causing it to take up storage space.
  
• Cornus now drops the correct Long Horn. It previously dropped an identical version that used a different item ID, causing issues with item comboes. If you believe you own an incorrect version of this, contact GM-Ciar or GM-Ayu to receive the correct item.
  
  Items
  
• Not an update that will impact players, but "duplicate" +10 stat foods have had their "Aegis_Name" changed to prevent accidentally adding them to monsters or giving them out in events. As explained previously, this item behaves the same currently, but takes up more storage space since it counts as a different item.

[GM-Ciar]

• V4P Shop should no longer delete manually added items upon server maintenance.
  
• Bio Lab F4 MVPs should now have a chance to fully heal while idle. However, this is interruptible with a long cast time so this should only affect suicide tactics.
  
  Battlegrounds Updates
  
• BG Points are now account wide instead of bound to a single character. To transfer them to your account, simply talk to the "Heroic BG Info" npc or the BG Shop Trader on each character that has char-bound points.
  
• The BG Shop trader now offers all available items instead of only what your class can wear.
  
• The Info NPC lists your points right away, instead of having to select the menu option to ask how many you have. The BG Shop also lists your points and opens the shopping menu right away instead of going through menus.
  
• The Battlegrounds Top 10 list has been removed pending a more in-depth revamp the feature in the far future. It is severely outdated in terms of code, and no longer properly functioning with the points update. In the future, we hope it can reset weekly or monthly in hopes to improve competitiveness.
  
• For nobles of any rank, the cost to BG is now 1,500z instead of its usual 3,000z.

• You can now save up to 3 looks and load them later (Hair coupons may be required if a custom hair is saved).
  
• While browsing through styles, you can choose to revert back to before you started browsing instead of having to find it. You will not lose your hair coupon if you do this.
  
• You can no longer click the "Cancel" button to exit while browsing, to prevent accidental styles or lost coupons.
  
  Quality of Life
  
• Super Novices can now rent carts with Kafras.
  
• Maximize Power is no longer removed upon death in order to avoid unwanted behavior with Silbertiger Card.
  
• Costume Crafter Prices have been halved permanently. The prices, ordered by rank, are now 50k, 100k, 150k, and 200k.
  
• We will be occasionally updating old headgear quests to not require a ridiculous amount of ingredients for simple hats that do very little. First, the Shafka Headgear Quest has had its ingredients requirement retouched:
  - Nine Tails x 20 -> 0
  - Yarn x 10 -> 5
  - Soft Silk x 10 -> 5
  - The rest of the ingredients remain the same.

• Engkanto Card has a new effect: When used by the assassin class, Hit +5, Perfect Dodge +3, and Venom Splasher damage +25%.
  
  Other Changes
  
• Dreadring's Agent Katar drop rate was increased from 0.15% to 0.30%.
  

As usual, and especially in regards to the BG update, please report any and all bugs you encounter. Failure to do so and/or using said bugs to your advantage can be considered a violation of the server rules.

[GM-Ciar]

• Addendum to the last post: The rate at which pets' intimacy increases when fed was increased to 5x, matching the recently updated Homunculus rates.
