	+ Chieftain Keron
	+ Dark Knight Ashuram

* To improve the Action mode’s limitations with targeting, we are adding a feature called Lock-on Mode, which allows you to change the target during combat.
	+ You can turn Lock-on Mode on and off by going to the “Game Options” menu and toggling the “Lock-on Mode” option.
		- With Lock-on Mode turned on, you will experience the original Action mode, where you are locked on to a target during combat.
		- With Lock-on Mode turned off, you will be able to change the target by pointing the crosshairs at an enemy regardless of whether they are engaged in combat or not.
* To support this feature, the following skills now do “area of effect” damage. This change ensures that these classes can attack properly even with Lock-on Mode turned off.
	+ Basic Attack and Double Slash for Guardian
	+ Basic Attack and Flash Cut for Assassin
* During attacks with combo skills and linked skills, the target will remain locked regardless of the Lock-on Mode setting, due to the quick burst of attacks when using these skills.
* Changes will be made to the following classes to improve PvP balancing issues:
	+ Berserker:
		- Increased attack versus Guardian and Assassin classes
	+ Guardian:
		- Increased attack versus Wizard and Priest classes
	+ Assassin:
		- Increased attack versus Berserker and Guardian classes
		- Reduced attack versus Priest class
	+ Wizard
		- Reduced attack versus Berserker and Guardian classes
* The quantity of loot boxes from field raids will be dependent on the damage dealt to the monster (5 max in a party/raid group):
	+ 80% and higher damage dealt: 3 Loot Boxes
	+ 40%-79% damage dealt: 2 Loot Boxes
	+ 25%-39% damage dealt: 1 Loot Box
	+ 15%-24% damage dealt: 1 Loot Box
