##### PATCH NOTES 02/24/2026 #####

----- INSTANCES -----

Now you can join instances by accessing the Instance Manager UI!

It's located in your menu under your character statistics, and you may access any non-story instances from there for you and your party!

Instances from Episodes still require episode completion in order to be entered.

You may notice there are two buttons at the bottom of the Instance Manager UI:

Normal: The common, official instance.

Eclipse: Our harder, custom difficulty, monster have 99% damage reduction and deal 5x damage! But everything also has +50% Drop Rate to compensate. Entering Eclipse Mode costs one [Eclipse Key] which may be acquired from instance MVPs.

Clicking any of these buttons while in a Party and confirming will attempt to warp ALL PARTY MEMBERS into an instance, this will only work if all party members are not currently in cooldown for said instance.

Instances with an item requirement (Like Villa of Deception Advanced) still require their item in order to enter.

Currently, Eclipse Mode only has +50% Drop Rate but we will soon add custom and cosmetic drops exclusive to Eclipse Mode.

All these informations can be accessed by clicking the Tip button in the Instance Manager UI.

----- PETS -----

Unlocked the following pets and evolutions:

Baphomet;

Orc Hero;

Dark Lord;

Gloom Under Night;

Kiel D-01.

Added the following new pets and pet evolutions:

Marin -> Garm Baby, Aqua Elemental or Gazeti;

Volcaring -> Imp -> Ifrit;

Phantom Wolf -> Hot Molar -> Burning Fang;

Fire Frilldora -> Salamander -> Detardeurus.

Imp: Is no longer tameable directly.

Marin can be tamed with a [Juicy Fruit], which can be found with some colorful, big-billed birds in tropical jungles.

Ashring can be tamed with a [Cooling Crystal], collected as trinkets by denizens of very cold places.

Hornets (who can be evolved into Mistresses) can be tamed with a [Beehive Box], found with unlikely hobby-beekepers in Suei Long Gon.

All above pets, including new, custom ones, have their stats added into the DNA system and will provide them to your pets upon being DNA-spliced. They also have their original (or custom, in case of the custom ones) evolution costs added accordingly.

----- SKILLS -----
