New Content
 * RoM 3 years anniversary event
 * Roccat mouse feature implementation (v2, revised version)

NPCs


 * Every time a 12-player instance is released, the Black Codex Merchant will make available weapons from the previous instance for players to purchase (this change will also apply to Land of Malovence instances).

 * Fury Claymore
 * Firelight Sword
 * Angerfang Axe
 * Angerfang Handaxe
 * Yinha Fist

 * Moving Trap
 * Deadly Rune
 * Bow of Assembled Parts
 * Tia’s Spike
 * Cast Out Staff
 * Skeletal Staff
 * The Crafting Instructor – Planting Instructor on the Frost Island archipelago now provides abilities that let players qualify to become a Master.

Quests
 * Coast of Opportunity class quest problem fixed:
 * Before: Players couldn’t receive class quests
 * Now: Players can receive class quests. They only need to obtain a secondary class and finish quest ‘Deputy Captain Heffner is Looking for You’ to be eligible.

Pets


 * The Wabbits from the following pet eggs can now be placed in the Partner Bag (previously they could not):
 * Wabbit – Pet Egg (Permanent)
 * Black Wabbit – Pet Egg (Permanent)
 * Brown Wabbit – Pet Egg (Permanent)
 * Spotted Wabbit – Pet Egg (Permanent)
 * Increased HP for warden’s pet:
 * The warden pets’ HP was too low making them not very useful for instance runs.
 * Increasing their HP should help to boost their usefulness.

Guilds


 * Changes were made to the messages that appeared when guilds level up, such that they match the actual changes that occurred. Now, when guilds level up, their members receive the correct message(s).
 * When guilds reach level 5, 6, 11 and 12, they receive a message that correctly informs them that the maximum number of guild members has been raised.
 * When guilds reach level 7, members will be informed that the guild is now eligible to take part in siege wars.
 * Players no longer receive an erroneous message when guilds reach level 9 and 10.

Interface


 * The interface execution error button can now be dragged by using Shift + Right-Click.
 * The Styling Shop button and interface execution error button now also disappear when players close the minimap in the top right of the game interface.

Skills


 * The following skills no longer have/require a GCD in addition to casting time:
 * Electric Bolt
 * Plasma Arrow
 * Electric Explosion
 * The Taunt effects of the following skills have been changed, and now instantaneously make you the player with the most aggro while giving an additional percentage bonus (previously, these skills forced targets to target you for a certain period of time):
 * Lv1 +1%, Lv50 +12% aggro
 * Warrior: Taunt, Group Taunt
 * Lv1 + 1%, Lv100 +15% aggro
 * Knight + Warrior: Authoritative Deterrence
 * Knight + Scout: Heavenly Arrow, Arrow of Vengeance
 * Warden + Warrior: Ire
 * Set skills: Lion King Battle Roar, Ragnar’s Roar
 * +5% aggro
 * Fixed priest fairy skill Conceal:
 * Originally, fairies couldn’t conceal themselves to avoid attacks and thus died easily
 * Now fairies can conceal themselves to avoid attacks. The skill effect fades when they use skills or launch an attack

Bug Fixes & Other changes


 * Changes to info text for the following runes:
 * Raid and Curse (runes) now have their casting delay and attack speed correctly indicated as “+” instead of “-“. This will prevent misunderstandings.
 * Curse runes now have a “casting speed” instead of a “casting delay” to avoid misunderstandings.
 * The Black Codex Transport Spell now transports players to a new location: Tomb of the Seven Heroes.
