Content

  • South Eastern Sea

Changes

• Combined Blessing Announcements into a single announcement (It always used to split into 2)

• The Shirakaze Fan has been completely reworked from the ground up and will now be known as Cursed Staff (Blunt Weapon).

This change is intended to give the weapon a more distinct identity away from Fan Weapons, making sure Fans in general stay Sand exclusive. Cursed Staff promotes new build possibilities, particularly for Intellect-focused glass cannon builds.

The crafting materials remain unchanged. Any player who previously owned a Shirakaze Fan will automatically receive the Cursed Staff instead.

• Updated Sukon + Sukon (Solo) Land of Spirits NPC Art

• Added Asarihanma Hammer Female Paperdoll

• Added Dark Scythes Female Paperdoll

• **Fixed Dark Scythes Color Pallette **

• **Improved Dark Scythes Visual (Running + Melee) **

Balance

• Bubble Coat cooldown reduced to 60 seconds.

• Mending Seal now only works on allies.

• Mud Pull now properly pulls your target to you.

• Mud Pull no longer applies Slow debuff.

• Dark Steel Kunai Dagger attack speed adjusted from 1.2 to 1.1

• Dark Steel Kunai Dagger now provides +3 Intellect

• **Dark Steel Kunai Dagger material requirement reduced: **
