Historical patch notes

• Lighthalzen and Juperos, additional High-Class skills, Homunculus, items and reskill NPCs announced. High-Class/Alchemist reskill at Juno; under-level-40 reskill at Prontera. Evidence: reported operator announcement. thai_lighthalzen_notice
• A same-day first-person report confirms Thai Sakray was running 10.2 on February 7, 2006. The February 21 main-server schedule still lacks deployment-day confirmation. Evidence: contemporary test server observation. thai_lighthalzen_sakray_firstday_20060207

Player guide

The Thai 10.2 announcement includes Lighthalzen, Juperos, Homunculus, additional High-Class skills and reskill services.

What to explore in this stage

• Review the newly available class skills and Homunculus guide for this release.
• Check reskill eligibility before visiting the announced Juno or Prontera services.
• Explore the qualified new hunting areas.

Before the local update

• Reskill eligibility is specific; the announcement does not imply a free reset for every character.

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

• Recover Homunculus creation, growth, AI, feeding and persistence rules.
• Add the specifically released transcendent skills to the earlier restricted trees.
• Implement period reskill eligibility and costs after verifying the scripts.
• Recover regional monsters and their skill conditions.

Character and world migration

• Version Homunculus records and skill allocations; retain a receipt for any reset operation.

Acceptance checks

• Homunculus state persists correctly across relog and server restart.
• Only eligible characters can use each reskill service.
• New class skills and monsters match their period behavior.

Affected areas: jobs, companions, monsters, quests, migration.

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

• Thai release date.
• Homunculus.
• Biolabs.
• Monster skills.
