Hi Royallers!

This update requires all players to download new files. The download link can be found here: https://royals.ms/?page=download
You will need to use the latest files to enjoy the latest content and avoid experiencing gameplay issues after the patch.
Additionally, the following bug fixes and improvements have been made to the game:

Events:

• Visit this thread for more information about the Valentine’s event.
  
• Visit this thread for more information about the Chinese New Year event.

Items:

• Fixed a crashing issue when using Chinese Lion Headgear with 2-handed weapons.
  
• Fixed a typo in the Buddy Snow Globe Chair description.
  
• Fixed an issue from the last patch where the Fried Egg Hat would be incorrectly positioned.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Baby Tiger could not consume Golden Drumsticks.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Baby Tiger did not have a name tag.
  
• Fixed a graphical issue with Pouty Face.
  
• Fixed a graphical issue with Wild Hunter Crossbow.
  
• Fixed a graphical issue with Kitty Hoodie Bandana.

Bug Fixes:

• Mob skill cooldown grouping has been reverted and mob skills will now act independently again except for Seduce and Mass Seduce.
  • For example, if Weapon Cancel is used - a following Magic Cancel will not take into account the cooldown of Weapon Cancel, if Seduce (Left) is used - a following Seduce (Right/Jump) will not be used until the cooldown of Seduce (Left) expires, if Mass Seduce is used - a following Mass Seduce will not be used until the cooldown of Mass Seduce has expired.
    
  • NOTE: The change has been made as the previous fix was incorrect and caused issues such as some skills never being used, or some skills having an extended cooldown as to what they were supposed to have.
• Fixed an issue that caused quests to reward incorrect items when the rewards are relative to your class.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused quests to become unstartable if you had more than the required amount of items necessary to start the quest.
  
• Pet Equip Item Ignore Pendant will now correctly remember what items you ignore.
  
• Pets can now be transferred through the Cash Shop inventory.

• The act of “telecasting” is no longer possible.
  
• Chat box for mini-games have been correctly aligned.
  
• Fixed an issue where you could enter to Castellan after the boss had been spawned.
  
• Fixed an issue where Female Buccaneers would have slower attack speed.
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented dropping equipped cash items.
