New Crafting Skill: Shipbuilding Mastery (Requires: Shipbuilding 100 and 10.000 Prowess to learn it)

    Shipbuilding Mastery skill added on all Agon Battle Supplier NPCs



This is the prerequisite skill for all warships which are being added to the game along with the other naval combat components starting with today’s patch.

Two new ships have been added to the game:

    Coastal Runner: This is the fastest ship in the game and has no cannons. It can be crafted using Shipbuilding at Workbenches and Shipyards. (Shipbuilding 75)
    Pinnace: This is a fast Warship with 3 cannons. It can be crafted using Shipbuilding Mastery, only in Shipyards. Requires Compass, Ship Modules and Selentine Ship Modules. (Shipbuilding Mastery 1) This is the first of a series of warships to be introduced starting with today’s patch.



New Rare Material: Lodestone: used in Warship crafting.

    Drops from Large Treasure Maps
    Is used to craft Compass (Shipbuilding Mastery 1)



New Item: Compass

    Is used to craft advanced warships



New Item: Selentine Ship Module

    Is used to craft the Pinnace



Harbors are now available to build in clan holdings

Gameplay Changes

    Player Requested : You can now gank using a bow or a staff. (so you don't need to switch weapons)
    Player Requested: We have tweaked the monster waving mechanic so that it scales with every single player in the spawn up to the current cap. This way 2 or 4 players in a spawn will now also trigger faster respawn of monsters. (previously it was 3 players or 5 players).
        Bonus Feature: If 15 players or more are in a spawnpoint, monster respawn rate will go into frenzy mode.



General Fixes:


    Fixed a bug where a player could be unintentionally excluded from the round robin system.
    Fixed a bug where skill effects would not display correctly when there was a Tar Plane behind them.
    Various fixes for primalist robes crafting feats
    Fixed the parrying animation for bow to fit the other weapon patterns.
    Fixed a bug that would cause the backpack to lock after starting to rename a bag and pressing ESC.
    Made some handling and speed tweaks for the Fishing Trawler
    Fixed a bug where there was no audio confirmation when opening a chaos chest
    Fixed a bug where if you destroyed a Fishing Trawler you would not be rewarded with prowess points.
    Revamped Monster Visual Effects:
        Beacon
        Corrosive Blast
        Acid Charging
        Ranged Attack for Troll Warrior and Cave Troll Warrior
        Acid Arrow
        Acid Rain
        Earthquake
