Guild Improvements
Guild positions and authority were separated.
Previously, all guilds had a structure where authority was granted based on guild position, so in some cases, positions had to be assigned for functions such as guild missions or dismantling auxiliary buildings in the node war.
Now you can set separate permissions regardless of position, making it more convenient and free to use.
The appointment method has been improved while maintaining the existing position system so that the roles and responsibilities of each guild member can be distinguished.
Permissions have been improved so that each permission can be delegated individually and activated on a “group” basis.
- Guild positions and authorities have been separated, and some authorities have been merged.
- Additionally, the guild position appointment UI has been improved.
| Assignment of position (Guild information window – Guild member status – Click on guild member – Guild position appointment UI) | Permission settings (Guild information window – Guild member status – Click on guild member – Guild permission setting UI) |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| Example of guild member permission settings (for unit leader) |
|---|
 ▲ Guild leader [GM] Activating/deactivating some authorities.
In this way, permissions are assigned according to position, and permissions for groups or individual units can be adjusted individually.
|
- Authority is divided into four groups, and each can be delegated individually.

Item Simplification
The material items that can enhance ocean captains’ ship equipment have been simplified to one type, ‘Wave Black Stone’.
Now, the simplified ‘Wave Black Stone’ can enhance ship equipment according to the number rather than the type. Accordingly, existing items that were obtained through quests, defeating ocean monsters, or bartering can also be acquired with a type of ‘Wave Black Stone’, making management more convenient.
As a result, the need to continuously exchange level 1 trade goods for ‘veridant black stone’, which was a problem for beginner captains who were expanding their ships for the first time, has also been eliminated.
Above all, what makes it a little more convenient is in the case of ‘Sunset Black Stone’, which is an equipment enhancement material for Carrack/Panokseon. You can collect ‘Starlight Powder’ in advance, which can be obtained by sending a worker to the production base, or send a worker to the workshop to obtain ‘Sunset Black Stone’. It has been improved so that there is no need to make ‘Sunset black stones’, so beginner captains who are preparing their own sailboats and captains who are working to further enhance the sailboats they have already built can go sailing with a lighter mind.
Wave Black Stone
- Items that can enhance ship equipment have been simplified to Wave Black Stone.
- It has been added that the Wave Black Stone can be purchased for 10 Crow Coins at the Crow Coin Shop.
- In addition, the Wave Black Stone can be obtained in various ways through quests, bartering, exchanging stage 2/3 trade items, and defeating ocean monsters.
- As the Wave Black Stone is utilized, the existing Frosted Black Stone, Fiery Black Stone, and Starlight Crystal will no longer be sold.
- If you already own Starlight Crystals, you can sell them for 100 Crow Coins, equal to the purchase price.
Ship equipment enhancement items
- The items needed to enhance existing ship equipment have been simplified to Wave Black Stones, and the number of items consumed has been set according to the equipment.

Node War Buff Benefits
As the Node Wars have been changed to allow for more intense battles, a powerful buff effect has been added in addition to the personal rewards that can be obtained when participating and winning in the Node Wars.
This effect is a buff effect given to guilds that participated fiercely in the node war. It allows guilds to obtain useful benefits in activities such as hunting or living during the time they spend regrouping before the next battle after winning the node war. As your guild progresses to a higher level, you will be able to enjoy greater effects.
This is to increase the motivation of more guilds to participate in node wars, and to allow guilds that win high-level node battles to enjoy stronger effects and to spread their reputation to other guilds. Of course, this effect returns opportunities to participate in node wars. Please note that it is only given to guilds that meet the conditions.
- Buff benefits have been added to node war participation and victory rewards.
- When you participate in a node war and receive a victory reward, it is obtained as a component of the Black Spirit’s Gift Box – node war reward.
