✨ Improvements

1. Tutorial Skip Added

- A 'Skip' UI will be displayed at the top right of the screen during the game introduction and the Tamer School classroom section.

- After tapping the Skip UI, select 'Confirm' in the notice pop-up to skip the corresponding section.

- If you skip the introduction, the game will begin from the Tamer gender selection and appearance customization step.

- If you skip the classroom section, gameplay will continue from the first story in the Forest Of Hope.

- The 'Tamer Appearance Selection - Tamer School Completion' section is not included in the skip function and will proceed as before.

- Skipped stories will be treated as completed by the system and can be viewed again at any time through Story Replay.

- All rewards normally granted through the tutorial will still be awarded without reduction or loss even when the skip function is used.

2. Previous/Next Turn Navigation Added to Replay

- A function will be added to move to the previous or next turn during Replay.

- You can quickly move to the battle scene you want and review the flow of battle more conveniently.

3. Last Login Display and Sorting Added for Blocked Users

- The last login status of blocked users will now be displayed in the 'Friend → Block' tab.

- Blocked users who are currently logged in will be shown as 'Online,' while offline users will be shown as 'N days ago' based on the elapsed time.

- A sorting function will be added to the Block list.

- Sorting criteria can be switched between login date/name, and the order can be changed between ascending/descending.

- This applies only to the display method in the Block tab and does not affect the Friend or Following tabs.

4. Relaxed Breeding Research Lab Participation Conditions for Dragons Currently Breeding

- Previously, selecting a Dragon currently breeding at the Altar of Life as a research target in the Breeding Research Lab was not possible and displayed an 'Already Breeding' notice. After the update, such Dragons can be selected normally as research targets.

- The unavailable notice for Dragons currently breeding will be removed from the Dragon list in the Lab, and they will be sorted near the top together with other selectable Dragons.

- The same rule will apply when using 'Breeding Records → Research Again' in the Lab, allowing Dragons currently breeding at the Altar to be selected automatically as normal.

- Breeding already in progress at the Altar will continue unchanged and will not affect the remaining time or Breeding result.

- The Altar of Life will otherwise function as before, and a Dragon currently breeding cannot begin a new Breeding session at the Altar.

- Restrictions on using Dragons that are 'Breeding' in other content such as Promotion, Limit Break, Evolution, Release, Synthesis, and Bond will remain unchanged.

- Costs, probabilities, and rewards required for Breeding Research will remain unchanged.

5. Unlock Progress Gauge Added to the Dragon Book

- The background of each entry in the Dragon Book list will be improved to fill from bottom to top as a gauge based on the unlock progress of that species.

- If only the Hatch stage is owned, the gauge fills to 1/3; if owned through the Hatchling stage, it fills to 2/3; and if owned through the Adult stage, the gauge fills completely.

- The Dragon Book acquisition animation will play only when the species has been collected through the Adult stage and reaches 100% progress.

- This change affects only the visual display in the Dragon Book and does not change how Dragon Book scores are calculated or the conditions for claiming Dragon Book rewards.

6. 'Gem Set Effect' Tooltip Added to Battle Log

- Gem Set effect names in the Battle Log will be underlined, and tapping an effect name will display a tooltip with its detailed name and description.

- This applies only to Gem Set effect names displayed in the Battle Log.

7. Purchase Limit Count Added to the Special Shop List

- Convenience will be improved for purchase-limited products in the Shop's 'Special' tab.

- For products with a purchase limit, the remaining number of purchases available (e.g., 1/1) will now be displayed directly on the product list screen.

8. Improved Make a Wish Speed and Currency Display in Gate of Lathea

- Progress speed while holding the Make a Wish UI will be significantly increased compared to before.

- The amount of 'Lathea's Energy' consumed per wish, points obtained, and acquisition probabilities will remain unchanged.

- The screen will now remain visible while Make a Wish (press and hold) is in progress.

9. Improved Gem Preset Application Pop-up Size

- The pop-up size will be enlarged according to the screen resolution.

- More Presets will be displayed on a single screen, making it easier to review and select them.

- When opening the Gem Preset pop-up through 'Dragon Info,' information on all 6 Gem slots currently equipped by the Dragon will also be displayed at the top of the pop-up.

- When entering through 'Gem Statistics → Save Set Combination,' only the Preset list will be displayed as before.

10. Added Equipped Item Information When Applying Gem Presets

- If the Preset you are applying contains Gems currently equipped by another Dragon, an 'Unequip Equipped Gems' checkbox will appear in the pop-up.

- The Preset can be applied only after selecting this checkbox.

- Tapping 'View Details' in the pop-up will show detailed information about Dragons affected by the Gem unequipping.

- The detailed information includes the number of Gems that will be unequipped from each Dragon and that Dragon's current formation information.

11. Rank and Chroma Probability Information Added for Hatching

- A new 'Probability Info' UI will be added to the three main in-game locations where Eggs can be viewed (Item Tooltip, Item Info, and Breeding Probability).

- Tapping this UI will open a detailed acquisition probability pop-up.

- The probability of each Rank (1.0 - 7.0) assigned to each of a Dragon's six individual Stats upon hatching will be shown by Rarity.

- A Dragon's final Rank is calculated as the average of the Ranks assigned to its six individual Stats.

- Chroma acquisition probability will be shown for each acquisition method. (0.1000% when placing an Egg in the Hatchery, 0.2000% when obtaining an Egg from the Breeding Research Lab)

- The hatching probabilities actually applied in the game will remain unchanged.

12. Improved Dragon Team Convenience

- Tapping a Dragon assigned to another Team from the Dragon list will now display a confirmation pop-up for moving Teams.

- Tapping 'Confirm' in the pop-up will immediately assign that Dragon to the Team currently being edited.

- This applies to the Formation screens for Underground Castle and Guild War.

13. Improved Detailed Information for Stunned Dragons During Battle

- During battle, tapping a stunned Dragon in the Dragon list will now open its detailed information window.

- This applies only to all allied and enemy Dragons in battle. Hidden information in Arena (opponent Dragons that have not yet entered battle) and Colosseum (unrevealed Dragons) will remain unavailable as before.

- Status effect information for stunned Dragons will remain hidden as before.

14. Direct Gem/Orb Equip and Unequip Added to Bag

- Gems and Orbs can now be equipped or unequipped directly from the Item Info pop-up in the Bag's 'Gem' and 'Orb' tabs without moving to the Dragon Info screen.

- The selected Dragon's Gem/Orb slot status and Set Effects can be previewed at the top of the Dragon selection pop-up.

- Slot status and Set Effects before and after equipping can be compared at a glance.

- If another Gem is already equipped in the target slot, it will automatically be replaced by the new Gem, and the previous Gem will be safely returned to the Bag.

- Gems/Orbs currently equipped by a Dragon can be removed by selecting the 'Unequip' UI.

- The existing equip and unequip method through the Dragon Info screen will remain available.

- Gem/Orb equip rules will remain unchanged.

15. Select All Added to Batch Evolution Dragon List

- Tapping the 'Auto Select' UI in Batch Evolution will display a 'Select All' UI in the same location.

- Tapping 'Select All' will select up to 100 Dragons in the list that have not reached the target stage.

- 'Select All' is applied regardless of the amount of Evolution materials owned. If materials are insufficient after selecting all, the 'Evolve' UI will not be activated.

16. Guild War Season Reward Eligibility Changed

- Previously, Guild War Season Rewards were distributed to all Guild members who belonged to the Guild at the end of the season. The eligibility condition will be changed so that rewards are distributed only to Guild members who remain in that Guild until the end of the season and participated in Guild War at least once during that season.

- Season Rewards are distributed when entering the results screen, so leaving the Guild before claiming the rewards will make them unavailable.

17. Improved Mailbox 'Claim All' Function

- When tapping the 'Claim All' UI, Mail containing paid products or payment-related items will be excluded from bulk claiming.

- Mail containing paid products can be claimed individually by tapping it directly in the list.

18. Confirmation Pop-up Added for Orb Crafting

- When crafting an Orb in the Workshop, the existing 'Shining Raw Gems will be used. Would you like to proceed?' confirmation pop-up will now appear first.

- The pop-up will also display the 'Shining Raw Gem' icon and the amount to be consumed based on the selected crafting quantity.

- This applies to all 8 Orbs that can be crafted in the Workshop.

19. Improved Visual Effect When Filters Are Applied

- When a filter is set in a list, a 'Filter Applied!' speech bubble will be displayed below the Filter UI.

20. Improved Gem Enhancement Convenience

- Tabs for directly selecting the target Enhancement level ('+1' - '+5') will be added to the Gem Enhancement pop-up.

- Based on the selected target level, you can preview the 'cumulative cost to reach the target level' and the 'Main Option at that level' in advance.

- If the target level is set to the immediately next level (+1), one Enhancement will be performed as before.

- If the target level is set 2 or more levels higher, Enhancement will proceed automatically and consecutively until the target level is reached. The target level cannot be changed while consecutive Enhancement is in progress.

- The cumulative cost required can be checked before Enhancement begins, and Enhancement will not proceed if the required currency is insufficient.

- When the target level is reached, the tab for the next level will be selected automatically.

- Entry paths, Enhancement rules, Enhancement probabilities, and costs by level will remain unchanged.

21. Improved Color Display for Orb/Skill Types

- Orb/Skill colors will be changed to the designated color for each Skill Type. (Physical: Orange, Magic: Purple, Change: Blue)

- For Orbs, the background frame of the Type display will also change to match the designated Type color.

- This is only a display color change and does not affect actual Skill performance or values.

22. Improved Gem Recommended Equipment Statistics

- When entering 'Recommended Equipment Statistics' through Dragon Info, the existing 'Preset' UI will be changed to an 'Equip' UI.

- Tapping the Equip UI will immediately equip the Gems from the recommended Set combination to the Dragon.

- Equipping will not proceed if any Set Gem included in the recommended combination is not owned in sufficient quantity.

- If there are not enough selected Set Gems to fill all slots, the corresponding slots will remain empty.

23. Improved Probability Information Access for Random Box Items

- A Probability UI will be added to Random Box item tooltips.

- Probability information can be checked immediately from preview screens such as package component tooltips even if you do not own the Random Box.

- The contents and acquisition probability values of existing Random Box items will remain unchanged.

24. Improved Sound Effects for Magic Fountain and Gift Animations

- When a Friend sends a blessing using Emeralds, a sound effect will now play when the result pop-up opens.

25. 'Claire' Magic Fountain Return Gift Added

- When you gift Diamonds to the Magic Fountain in Claire's Village, Claire will now send return Diamonds to your Magic Fountain.

- The return gift will be added to your Magic Fountain in the same way as gifts between users, and you can receive 10 Diamonds per claim.

- Claire's gift history can be checked in the 'Received Gifts' and 'Sent Gifts' tabs of Gift Records.

- If your Magic Fountain has exceeded its 'Daily Claim Limit,' Claire's return gift will be skipped. (No Received Gift record will be created.)

26. Improved Bond List Display

- The alignment position of component Dragons on the Bond List screen will be moved slightly to the left.

- Existing Bond stage completion checks, reward claims, and the layout and functions of the Bond Details screen will remain unchanged.

27. Hints Added for Unobtained Observation Stories

- When selecting an Observation Story that has not yet been obtained, a hint tooltip showing the location of the linked Lost Item will be displayed instead of the details pop-up.

28. Treasure Plunder Guild Ranking Score Removed When Leaving a Guild

- When a member leaves a Guild, that member's contributed Treasure Plunder Guild Ranking score will be removed.

29. Block Limit Increased

- The maximum number of users that can be blocked will be increased from 100 to 150.

- Existing users already on the Block list will remain blocked after the limit is expanded.

30. Raid Help Improved

- Help information will be added regarding Raid Boss Dragon Egg drop rates and the scope of guaranteed acquisition.

31. Breeding Rate-Up Event Dragon Guarantee System Improved

- The Bonus Gauge can accumulate up to the maximum target of 100,000 points.

- When an action causes the Gauge to exceed 100,000 points, only the points earned from that action will be added; no further points will accumulate afterward.

- After reaching the target score, the Gauge will no longer increase even if additional points are earned while the reward Dragon remains unclaimed.

- If the reward Dragon remains available to claim, the Gauge will carry over to the following week while retaining its claimable status.

- When the next week begins, you can select and claim the Rate-Up Dragon for that week.

- However, points from the Breeding Rate-Up Event (Black Armor, Ereboss) held before this maintenance will follow the previous method. In other words, Black Armor Eggs will first be distributed for the amount immediately exchangeable, and only the remaining points below 100,000 will carry over to the Bonus Gauge for the next Rate-Up Event (Hell Dragon, Rafael).

32. Improved Support Team Combat Power Display in Treasure Plunder

- The Support Team Combat Power shown in Treasure Plunder currently includes Combat Power increased by the viewer's 'Arms Buff,' which can cause the Support Deck's displayed Combat Power to differ depending on who is viewing it. The display method will be improved.

- When calculating Support Team Combat Power in Treasure Plunder, only base Combat Power excluding the increase from 'Arms Buff' will be displayed.

- During actual battles, your 'Arms Buff' effect will continue to apply normally as before.

33. Guild War Participant Count-Based Base HP Adjustment Removed

- The HP adjustments previously applied individually based on differences in participant count will be removed.

 · Fortress: [Before] +30 per 1 fewer member → [After] +0

 · Barrier: [Before] +15 per 1 fewer member → [After] +0

 · Base: [Before] +5 per 1 fewer member → [After] +0

34. Improved Element Information Tooltip on World Boss Formation Screen

- When tapping the Boss's Element icon on the World Boss Formation screen, the tooltip will be improved from showing only a single Element name to showing both 'Main Element + Weakness Element.'

35. Improved Batch Evolution Convenience

- When opening the Batch Evolution pop-up, 'Adult Evolution' will be selected by default without any additional input.

- If Hatchling Evolution is needed, you can switch to it by tapping the 'Hatchling Evolution' UI as before.

36. Detailed Information Added for Bond Targets on Bond of Fate Selection Screen

- Pressing and holding a Dragon or Orb icon in the Bond target selection list will open the Dragon Book details window for that target.

37. Improved World Boss Ranking Reward Brackets

- To reduce the reward gap between 3rd place and ranks 4-10 in World Boss rankings, the existing ranks 4-10 reward bracket will be divided into ranks 4-5 and ranks 6-10.
