Hey there, friends, my nickname is Nakano15, and today I bring a new update.

I know that you guys must be itching to explore Gavea South Beach, but I will still need to do some more work on it, because not only I need to work on Fox Slimes cave, but also will need to work on a new Pirate Ship area that has been added to the plans, so I will also need to work on the crew members that will try to make you walk on the plank, something I'm sure you guys wont let happen.

Anyways, allow me to show some highlights of the update.

Pet System Improved, and new pets arrived.

Well, previous update allowed you to have access to a raw version of the pet system. This update, further fleshes out the system, and also makes pets more interesting.

Now, pets will be able to not only learn, but also use skills. Each pet will have different skill sets, whose were set based on... Themselves.

They also gained 3 quickslots which you can use to assign skills you want to make them use in combat, or items you want them to use, like potions, or other consumables.

Do notice that there's no limit right now as to how many pets you can have in your guild hall, but I don't recommend abusing of this, because there's also no way of removing them either, so hatch/mature pets with moderation.

And to finish with pets subject, not only Bunny Slimes and Lapins are catchable, but also Acid Doggies and Waschbars too.

Refine will no longer destroy items on failure.

You voted for it, and here it is. Failing at refining items will now downgrade their level, instead of destroying the item for good.

Yes, you'll no longer have death wishes at the poor blacksmith because your weapon broke... Or at least because your weapon broke, since depending on your luck, you might be the one ending up broken after trying to refine for many times.

Anyways, I guess it's more possible get your weapon refine level to a high enough level, like...

Yes, I'm broken after that refining, so don't ask.

Alchemic Cerberus Rematch, but this time with loot.

You can now directly ask to fight the Alchemic Cerberus again, if you've already triggered the inner chambers event.

This time, the rematch is no longer linked to Rottweiler's Head favor, and has its own independent daily (in-game time) cooldown, so you can still do the other heads, including Rottweiler requests without problems.

The major difference between the first fight and the rematch, is that the rematch now has the chance of making them drop loot, so be sure to have some inventory space freed before fighting them. Beside I added a 10 seconds delay before the dialogues proceed upon victory, better not to leave inventory management to such a short time window.

Anyways, do remember that the Alchemic Cerberus and the Bunnykin requests have daily in-game cooldown, so if a day passes, their cooldown will wear off.

I hope patch note is better readable now, because on the previous news, it looked awful.

That's it for this update. Now time for me to get into working on Gavea South Beach, or at least after I get my lunch.

Until next time :)
