First of all, hello hiya and greetings. I’m Oliver Nue, and I’ll be doing the NAGC updates from here on out. I’ll do my best to cover the patch notes, as well as go in-depth with some of the added content and post any major bug fixes included in the new patch.

—————————————
The patch notes:
—————————————

[General]

• The sixth Seal Breaker Gacha sets have been added featuring the Ariel pet and the Wind Caller, Tornado Caller, and Storm Caller sets.

[Cash]

• Seal Breaker Scrolls in packs of 1, 10, 20, and 30 have been re-added to the Academy in support of Seal Breaker Gacha.
• A new Seal Breaker Scroll bundle of 60 is making its first appearance in the Academy in support of Seal Breaker Gacha.
• 500-use packs of the skill for Ariel have been added to the Pet Shop.

[Item]

• 100-use packs of the skill for Ariel have been added to the Pet Shop.

—————————————
The commentary:
—————————————
This week was just another filler event, and that came to no shock of the general NAGC forumers. This patch also ended the “Buffs for beginners” (here) event, though it technically ended on the 20th. No new events, a major bug fix, an update on the news of another major bug, and a new set. Standard filler, haha. Here’s the set, ugly as it is:

Additionally, Seal Breaker spaces were added to our Summer Fun Boards.

And apparently, our version of Ariel gives two full bars of MP with a full hit, and is much more powerful than the KGC version. I’ll try and get a video sometime.
—————————————
The bugs:
—————————————
Fixed: An existing bug that prevented characters from obtaining Silver Land missions. These missions are obtained by completing the quest “An Injured Knight.” The Quest chain is apparently 6 quests long and applied only to characters that did not initially receive Silver Land quests.

• Via GM Chaos: “there was a bug where certain missions would not continue or not received for some of the old players who played the game before the dungeon revamp. so we distributed the missions again for certain players for certain characters. it only affects certain levels and certain characters. ” (here)

Existing: The bug that is causing rollbacks of items, experience, levels and jobs is continuing to wreak havoc on us at NAGC, but an official response from Ntreev was issued a few days ago.

• Via GM Bawkzie: “We are currently aware of this issue and the developer is in process of figuring out what is going on. Please note if you have submitted a 1:1 already, your account has been already recorded and under investigation.” (here)

—————————————
In all, an uneventful patch.  Here’s hoping we get Sieghart’s ST teaser next week, eh? :3

Ok technically she won’t be here for 2 hours and 13 minutes of the time of typing this, but it’s better to be early than late, apparently.

There is not much to go with this patch according to the patch notes posted on the forums by Chaos:
