  • Golden idols are now stackable. Players who have been lucky enough to find a pair can now purchase an idol crabletine tradeable pet.
  • Some of Waiko's and Cyclosis' villagers’ pockets can now be picked. They seem to have a rather short attention-span and will tend to forget about your thieving ways within 5 minutes.
  • Shark soup and Arc gumbo now require sliced wushrooms instead of wushrooms.
  • Different kinds of wushrooms can be sliced to use. Players who had wushrooms before the update had theirs converted to sliced wushrooms.

  • Players are now able to find supply crates on uncharted isles.
  • Low-tier resources will now stay on claimed islands, even when logging out.

  • Players who have completed all of the Tengu's player-owned port clue voyages and have received a mask of gu can now purchase the 'Waiko Guru' unlock for 100 chimes. This unlock halves the cost of re-rolling contracts.
  • The unlock to access the Waiko's bank chest has been removed.
  • Seiryu's claw now has a lootbeam regardless of lootbeam value set.
  • Daily contract re-rolls now increase in price by 10 chimes, instead of doubling in price.
  • Rosie has lowered her supply costs! Supplies are now 25 chimes each (down from 40) and supply cost reduction upgrades can now reduce this to as low as 10 chimes per supply (down from 20).
  • Rosie's crate of supplies (5 free supplies daily) now holds up to 50 supplies not to penalise those who forget to pick theirs up each day.
  • To celebrate the opening of the second set of islands, Rosie's crate is initially full for everyone.
  • Long voyages now cost 20 supplies (down from 25).
  • Median Expeditions can now have 2 to 3 rare resources (up from 1 to 2).

  • Players who had islands claimed prior the update can now find new resources on their island.
  • The supply cap now starts at 200 (up from 100) and increases up to 1,000 with upgrades (up from 500).
  • An issue where an island would have less rare resources than intended has been fixed.
  • Arc Gumbo now sells for 65 chimes (up from 45).
  • Shark soup now sells for 85 chimes (up from 50).
  • Non-stacking Arc resources such as fish, bamboo, soups and gumbo can now be withdrawn in noted form.

  • A new flotsam merchant on Cyclosis purchases driftwood and sea shells for few more chimes.
  • A new food merchant on Cyclosis purchases sliced wushrooms for an extra chime.
  • A new bamboo merchant on Tuai Leit purchases bundles of bamboo for an extra chime.
  • Players can now head to Cyclosis, the Islands that Once Were Turtles, Goshima and Tuai Leit.
  • Teleport tablets for named-islands have been added to Waiko rewards shop.
  • Sharkborne has been out exploring and has found himself a new pet, X-Runes.
  • Sojobo now offers a new type of contract for players with 90+ in the related skill. If the player has received such contract, expect to worship shrines, pick safes, hatch eggs and few other short-interaction activities.
  • Salty crabletines have invaded Cyclosis. They are the slightly less rewarding relatives of salty crablets.
  • There are now six new mini-quests to complete. After completing everything up to and including Jed Hunter (from Arc Batch 1), speak to Ichi on Cyclosis to begin the latest adventures. You'll need to have unlocked Cyclosis via a Player-owned port to access the island.
  • Uncharted isle supplies have been added to the currency pouch.
  • Bad luck protection has been added to the 'Spiritual Enlightenment' mini-quest lore book drops. Players who defeat more NPCs during the miniquest will be more likely to receive the drop during their game session.
