● Changed Tagged Characters to now be able to use Imperial Delivery (packaged Cooking/Medicine Box delivery).
- You can hand in packaged Cooking/Medicine Boxes to an [Imperial Delivery] NPC located in each city.

We originally blocked Tagged characters from accessing Imperial Delivery content in order to prevent the Character Tag system from using the content to in any way other than it was originally intended. However, we found that it was causing Adventurers enjoying the Item Copy and Character Tag systems a major inconvenience. So, we decided to enable Tagged characters to access Imperial Delivery. We will continue to improve the gameplay experience of all our Adventurers.

Narchillan gear was added so that Adventurers would have easy access to gear by trading in their Naru gear without the pressure/need for further enhancement.
However, unlike its defense gear iteration, Narchillan weapons would be converted into weapons suitable to the class of the character who opened the weapon box, thus making it difficult for Adventurers to use the weapons on other characters in their Family.
With this update, we added recipes and relevant items to convert Narchillan weapons back to their former box state so that Adventurers can easily move and use these weapons on classes they are not so well-versed in. Items required for the conversion process can be purchased from blacksmiths located in each of the major cities and towns.

We hope that many of our new Adventurers will be able to try playing with a variety of different classes.

● Added recipes to convert Narchillan main, sub-, and awakening weapons back into box form.
- You can use Manufacture (L) with the following recipes to obtain Narchillan weapon boxes. 

Recipe	Product
Use Manufacture (L) with Narchillan main weapon x1 + Narchillan Processing Stone (Main Weapon) x1	Narchillan Main Weapon Box
Use Manufacture (L) with Narchillan sub-weapon x1 + Narchillan Processing Stone (Sub-weapon) x1	Narchillan Sub-weapon Box
Use Manufacture (L) with Narchillan awakening weapon x1 +Narchillan Processing Stone (Awakening Weapon) x1	Narchillan Awakening Weapon Box

- Narchillan Processing Stones (Main/Sub-/Awakening Weapon) are sold from local blacksmiths for 1 million Silver each. 

- Once you've completed at least one of the Narchillan Main, Sub-, and/or Awakening Weapon exchange quests, a new dialog option will be available through Fughar - "[Help] Exchanging Narchillan Weapons."
● Adjusted the item drops for Kamasylvia and Drieghan territories.
- The following monster zones are affected.

- The following items that drop from the aforementioned monster zones have been reworked to drop in loot box form.

Before	After
[Fadus Habitat] All 32 Yuria and Bares weapon items	Yuria Main Weapon Box, Bares Main Weapon Box
[Sherekhan Necropolis, Blood Wolf Settlement, Tshira Ruins] All 4 Haladie, Shamshir, Florang, and Vitclari weapon items	Seleth Main Weapon Box, Kalis Main Weapon Box

* The boxes above will stack in one inventory slot.
* Opening one of the boxes above will grant you one random class item.
* Gear obtained from the boxes above will not be enhanced.
- You can also obtain the following Black Stone Bundles as loot.

Item	Description
Black Stone (Weapon) Bundle	Open to obtain Black Stone (Weapon) x25-50 according to a set probability.
Black Stone (Armor) Bundle	Open to obtain Black Stone (Armor) x25-50 according to a set probability.

● Updated the loot tables in the Item Drop Information UI for the reworked Kamasylvia and Drieghan territories.
- You can find the Item Drop Information UI under the Adventure category in the ESC (New) Menu.

Many of our Adventurers were asking for the gear loot rework, so we condensed the gear dropped in these monster zones to now drop as boxes. This rework will help reduce the burden placed on our Adventurers' inventory slots.

● Added the "Nouverikant" title for Adventurers who have obtained both Nouverikant Armor and Nouverikant Helmet.
- You can obtain this title after completing the "Nouvermon" quest by talking to the Guest of the Mountain of Eternal Winter with both the Nouverikant Armor and Helmet equipped.
- If you've already completed the "Nouvermon" quest, talk (W) to the Black Spirit (/) to obtain the title. 

● Separated [Maehwa] Order of the Apricot Gloves from the [Maehwa] Order of the Apricot Armor.
- Added [Maehwa] Order of the Apricot Gloves to the outfit boxes that contain the [Maehwa] Order of the Apricot Armor.
* Adventurers who had the [Maehwa] Order of the Apricot Armor in their possession will find the [Maehwa] Order of the Apricot Gloves in their storage in Heidel.
