Episode evidence: contemporary thai label. Number identified in contemporary Thai evidence; date and completeness remain separately qualified. thai_noghalt_interview, thai_rolc_2006

Historical schedules, archive capture dates and local rollout dates are distinct. Chapter order is a reference order where exact Thai dates remain unknown.

Historical patch notes

• Promotional interview names August 8 for Episode 10.3; September 2 council minutes discuss 10.3 as current. Exact successful deployment still needs confirmation. Evidence: schedule and already live bound. thai_noghalt_interview, thai_rolc_2006
• Council reports changed Teleport interaction and Guild Dungeon restrictions; new-job reskill requested rather than announced as available. Future roadmap is a proposal. Evidence: operator council current state. thai_rolc_2006
• An August 8 guide explicitly places the gradual 10.3 update on Thai Sakray. This conflicts with treating the promotional August 8 date as a confirmed main-server launch. Its Abyss entry items, Thanatos fee, cooking vendors and quest skills remain test-server candidates. Evidence: test server scope conflict. thai_noghalt_sakray_npc_guide_20060808

Player guide

Noghalt is the expanded-job era in the Thai sequence. Its production schedule, test-server observations and council reports require careful separation.

What to explore in this stage

• Review which expanded jobs, maps and cooking features are actually included in the local release.
• Read the release-specific Teleport and Guild Dungeon rules.

Before the local update

• A player request in council minutes does not establish an available reset service.

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 the Thai job trees, access quests, map bundle and cooking tables.
• Distinguish test-server features from confirmed main-server behavior.
• Implement only documented Teleport and Guild Dungeon changes; track requests as requests.

Character and world migration

• Review expanded-job state, cooking inventory and affected guild/map flags.

Acceptance checks

• Expanded-job skills have the correct targets, costs and map restrictions.
• Cooking consumes the documented materials and applies the selected effects.
• Requested but unannounced services are not enabled.

Affected areas: jobs, world, crafting, guilds, combat.

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.
• Jobs.
• New maps.
• Cooking.
• Skills.
