"Auction House Expansion, New Mount & Combat Fixes"
Ether Online — Patch Notes
Auction House
The Auction House now has a second desk, and listings can run much longer.
Anise, the Auction House Manager, now also stands in Retta — no more trip to Asgard just to list or bid.
Longest listing period extended from 48 hours to 7 days.
Short (12h) and Mid (24h) listing periods are unchanged.
Both desks share the same auction — your listings, bids and deposits are the same wherever you open it. Existing listings keep the time they were posted with; the 7-day option applies to new listings.
New Rideable Pioh
Hopin — now rideable! Equip it as your visible Pioh and press F7 to hop on.
Mount Fixes
Rough-Root Nepenthes — fixed the mount freezing (no animation) while moving, and the rider now bobs along with the mount instead of sitting stiff.
If a mount or rider looks off — sitting too high, too low, or off-center — just report which Pioh and we'll fix it.
Combat
Area-of-effect damage now correctly reduces as a skill hits more targets. The reduction was always in the game but was only applied to the damage numbers on screen, not to the damage actually dealt, so very large pulls were taking more damage than intended. The number you see and the health the monster loses now match.
Skills
Fixes to skill learning and the Skill Tree.
A skill you cannot learn yet now tells you why — the required character level is shown instead of the point silently not being spent.
Skill Tree tooltips listed the requirement and SP cost for the level you already owned rather than the one you were buying, so a skill could look available while the + button stayed dead. Tooltip and button now agree.
Soul Guide (Soul Summoner) asked for character level 50. Its correct requirement is level 30.
Reconnection
Fixes to the seamless reconnect.
Reconnecting no longer clears your equipment. Weapon-based skills were refused with "In order to use the skill, you must equip your character with the appropriate equipment", and equipped Pioh disappeared, until you fully relogged.
If you lost skill levels or skill points to any of the above, post your character name and we will restore them.
This is a client update — relaunch through the launcher to get the latest files, mounts and fixes.
