Dear friends, This is the first of a series of big updates we’ve planned for November. This month, we are also planning to introduce considerable changes to Vocation balance. Besides, all players will have access to 4-6 stages of Vocations with minimal requirements, but all that’s information for a separate announcement. You’ll find day-off fixes and changes at the end of the patch note.
