Player guide
A small English Beta 2 maintenance stage repairs milk sales and several NPC or routing issues.
What to explore in this stage
- Check the repaired milk seller and affected NPC routes against the selected historical build.
Before the local update
- This is part of the international prelude; it does not establish a Thai-server maintenance date.
These activities describe the intended stage. Exact local requirements and availability must be confirmed in the released build before this draft becomes a player announcement.
Developer guide
Implementation work
- Apply only the NPC, milk-price and Training Ground fixes supported by the July notice.
- Keep the milk vendor price distinct from an item database’s generic price field.
Character and world migration
- Recover characters stranded by the old routing failure without resetting unrelated quest state.
Acceptance checks
- The repaired vendor offers the stated milk price.
- Training Ground exits and affected NPC interactions complete without trapping a character.
Affected areas: world, items, quests.
Use the mechanics history for candidate rules and developer reference for pinned comparison files. The release checklist defines the future evidence, migration and runtime gates.
Unresolved before qualification
- Not a thai server patch.
