* It's now hard to reach Lv. 50 doing epic quests alone. You will need to enjoy other contents that give you experience as well such as world quests and mini-games. A function has been added to the quest notification window on the right of the screen to show the next available epic quest that can be accepted or can't be accepted because you don't meet the level requirement.
* A total of 170 world quests in a level range from Lv. 11 – 46 have been added.

* Raid Dungeon: Name changed to "Hard Adventure Dungeon". The recommended number of people was adjusted from 10 to 4. The monster's health in the hard adventure dungeon is not scaled based on the number of people just like how it was previously in the raid dungeon.

Each dungeon's rank mission objectives have been adjusted to match 4 people.

		- You will find "Hungry" monsters around the field. You can only capture "Hungry" monsters.
		- The monsters that can be captured will be displayed as a sky blue dot in the mini-map, making them easier to be spotted.
		- When you use a "Dryad Pet Candy " on a "Hungry" monster you want to capture, the Fondness gauge will be displayed above the "Hungry" monster's head, and the border will be displayed around the "Hungry" monster's body. You need to be at least Lv. 50 to use Dryad Pet Candy.
		- The border around the "Hungry" monster's body will be displayed in green, yellow, or red. Depending on the color, the pet's rank or capturing difficulty will vary.
		- When you use "Dryad Pet Candy" multiple times to max out the fondness gauge, the "Hungry" monster stops acting weary and becomes "Docile" monster. You can use Dryad Snare near the "Docile" monster to capture a combat pet. You need to be at least Lv. 50 to use "Dryad Snare".
		- If you do not use "Dryad Pet Candy" within a set time, the Fondness decreases again.
		- When the fondness is not max, and there is a Dryad Snare near "Hungry" monster, the "Hungry" monster may destroy "Dryad Snare."
		- Depending on the capturing difficulty and the kind of Snare used to capture the monster, the probability to get Combat pet with certain rank will vary.

	+ All combat pets can level up to Lv. 50. Once a combat pet reaches Lv. 50, it can no longer fuse.
