"Watch & Restyle: The Spectator + Transmog Update"
Ether Online — Patch Notes · June 23, 2026
NEW: PvP Spectator Mode ("Watch")
Spectate live PvP matches as an invisible, untargetable observer with a free-fly camera.
In the PvP Lobby, pick a match already in progress to join as a Spectator — nobody can see or interrupt you. A counter by the map name shows who's watching.
WASD/Arrows Move · Shift+Right-Drag Pan · Home/End Rotate · Wheel Zoom · TAB / Shift+TAB follow next/previous fighter (any team size); once more returns to free-fly.
Starts centered and always keeps the whole fight in view; Leave Spectate returns you exactly where you joined.
NEW: Weapon Transmog ("Change Weapon Appearance")
Make any weapon look like another — keep your stats, change your style.
At a Blacksmith (like Barret), choose "Change Weapon Appearance", drop the weapon to restyle + a same-type weapon for the look, pick a duration, and Apply.
7 Days · 30 Days · Permanent — longer costs a bit more gold.
Same weapon type only (sword→sword, bow→bow…) — the look changes, but it still fights like itself.
Your enchant glow carries over (+15 still shines at +15); the source weapon is consumed.
Remove reverts anytime · your bag auto-opens for dragging · the tooltip shows the appearance + time left.
Bug Fixes
Fixed monsters & trap/bomb props casting skills nonstop (the "powder keg" props were the worst).
Fixed players/monsters freezing mid-cast with a looping spell effect.
Fixed an item sound machine-gunning into a buzz when dragging items quickly.
Fixed a server crash during combat with pets, summons, or dying monsters.
Other Improvements
New Borderless Windowed mode (System Options → Resolution) — great for multi-monitor.
Monster-kill EXP now shows as a chat loot line, like gold.
Spectate a showdown, restyle your blade, and jump into the PvP Lobby!
