Changes

• Added ads after each combat and craft.

• Removed Aei Ma and Pi Lip, replaced with Yufu Chen and Shiao Gian respectively. You'll have to earn their love.

• Fist school has been renamed to Foot school, to reflect its focus on kicking.

• Celestial visuals enhanced. When you have any stacks of moon, the screen now goes black

• Due to few players utilising battlesense, stances are now executed in a random order to keep uptime on the buff. Stance rules removed as a result.

  • Auction sell prices increased by 10x to reflect the wealth of the nobles participating.

• Added 9 new EXTREMELY in-depth tutorials covering all aspects of the game.

• Added an 'overkill' system. If you do damage that takes an enemy to 10% below 0, the enemy is annihilated and a dramatic effect plays. Oh, and also all the drops that would have been given are turned to dust.

• Due to confusion about how certain damage numbers are calculated, all numbers removed from tooltips. They have been replaced with the indicators 'small', 'kinda not small', 'bigger than small', and 'not small at all'.

• Crystal opening animations and chest opening animations now ignore the fast reward setting.

• Crafting action masteries now reset when switching to a different crafting flame. Each flame requires its own familiarity.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed "the game" sometimes being "fun" during the early Qi Condensation hours. This has been corrected.

• Fixed a bug where there was a 'skip' button available during the tutorial.

• Fixed an issue where tooltips wouldn't cover the entire screen. Now every tooltip uses all the available space.
