Update 1.39.0

Your character now gets dressed before it ever leaves the creation screen — and once it is out in the world, it can finally show what it is carrying. Pick the outfit you start in and the bonuses it brings, link any item straight into chat, and take another look at three creatures rebuilt in 3D.

You must update your client to log in. Close the game and the launcher, then reopen the launcher and press PLAY. This update changes how the client and the server talk to each other, so an old client cannot connect. On Steam the update is automatic.

New

Dress your character from the start. Character creation no longer hands you a fixed kit: you pick one piece for Body, one for Arms and one for Leggings, and the preview beside you wears your choice as you browse. Two of the three carry your starting bonus and you decide which two, along with what that bonus is — Experience +10% together with either HP Recovery +14% or MP Recovery +14%. Choosing the bonus is required to create the character, and all three pieces are bound to it. New characters start in knee trousers; the long trousers and the skirt are still in the wardrobe if you prefer them.

Good loot deserves an audience. Hold Ctrl and middle-click an item in your bag, your bank or your account vault to drop it into the chat line. Everyone reading sees its real stats, exactly as the server has them — no more describing your drop word by word.

Familiar creatures, a fresh look. The Cyclops, the Giant Ant and the Slime have been rebuilt in 3D, with far more fluid animation in everything they do, and the Giant Ant finally has a voice of its own. Worth another look on your next hunt.

• Fragile gear bought from the Event Officer now arrives already upgraded to +5, with the damage, defense and endurance that comes with it.
• Guild Veterans can now grant and remove the Huntmaster and Raidmaster ranks, on other members and on themselves.

Changed

• Dark Mage Staff: the +20% magic damage bonus has been removed. What the item lists is what you get.
• Dark weapons claimed at the City Hall: base damage reduced by 1 point each.
• Kloness melee weapons: Reputation damage cap reduced from +11 to +7 per term.
• Critical hits that cost 2 Crit Points — bow shots with Archery, and Bane — now require the full 2 points to fire instead of going off with a single one.
• Coin Shop: the duplicate Stat Change Ticket is gone. There is now a single entry at 9 coins, available at every level.

Improved

• Offline guild members now appear in the Members tab, so you can change their rank without waiting for them to log in. Huntmaster and Raidmaster are released while their holder is away — AFK or offline — and handed back when they return, if the slot is still free.
• Guild upgrade tooltips now show the exact price the guild is charged, and the Warehouse slot preview no longer understates the slots you get.
• The guild member list shows the map's real name ("Aresden Cityhall") instead of its file name, translated to your language.
• The party member list now shows every member instead of coming up empty, and the Global Party has its own scrollable roster of everyone online on your side.
• Selling an item with rolled properties no longer prints its stats over its name: the sell list shows the name, and the full properties appear on hover, just like when buying.
• In the character sheet, clicking a piece of gear picks whatever is drawn on top — the shield no longer hands you the armor behind it.
• Long chat messages now fit on screen, including messages written in capitals.
• The Enemy-Kill rings under players now sit on the same oval as the rune circle from a Slate of Berserk, instead of drifting below and to the side of the feet.

Fixed

• Missing clothing in emotes and in the character creation preview.
• Archery side shots landing on the same target several times in a single shot.
• The Event Shop showing the Charge Wand of Cancellation as empty instead of at its 200 charges.
• The Armor Sex Changer, the Hero Cape Catalyst and dyes doing nothing when you clicked the item to use them on. Clicking a piece you are wearing now tells you to take it off first.
• The void around interior maps showing stonework and steps through the floor.
• Tips notices stealing clicks from your inventory and party windows.
