Patch Notes 2026-07-19

• Barnacle's daily hunt now resets at the same time every day instead of 24 hours after turn-in (same reset as @dailyexp).
  • Anyone mid-cooldown when this goes live can do the hunt again immediately, once.
• BG matches now wait for a minimum number of players per team (currently 10) before the round starts.
  • While the match is filling up, the server announces how many more players are needed - use @joinbg to enter.
  • If there aren't enough signups within 5 minutes, the match is cancelled and a fresh one begins recruiting; two cancelled matches in a row end the Happy Hour early.
  • Once the minimum is reached, the round starts after a short countdown.
  • Signups stay open (with full rewards) for 1 minute after the match fills; joins after that count as late.
  • You can now join a BG match that's already in progress - @joinbg works for the whole match, even after signups close.
  • Late joiners earn half the badge rewards (rounded down).
• Stone Control and Capture the Flag shouldn't leave your character bricked anymore.
• Removed Capture The Flag from the automated rotation modes, added Rush.
• Walk Speed increase in BG when picking up an item should now be fixed.
• The Battleground Therapist (and auto-resupply) now restores a Super Novice's no-death bonus.
• Barricades in Battlegrounds should no longer be healable.
• Conquest badge rewards increased: the reward pool is now 10 badges per match (up from 6), still split between attackers and defenders based on attacker progress (9:1, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, 1:9).
• You can now properly dismount your halter if you're mounted in places you cannot use halters.
  • You should automatically be dismounted when entering BG as well.
• Maximum Over Thrust no longer costs zeny on Battleground maps.
• Players now receive 2 Event Coins per kill in Novice vs Novice.
• Fixed @ws and @wb hiding some listings when a search matched a lot of shops (e.g. @ws costume).
  • Results now show the cheapest listings (highest offers for @wb), and the command tells you when there are too many matches to display so you can narrow your search.
• Star Dust (1001) no longer has a "View" button that crashes the client.
• Fixed sprite issues with Divine Wings and Holy Wings that caused the client to crash.
