Build Impact

• 1000-slot storage is the structural change that matters most for build planning. The 240-slot cap forced players to delete weapon variants between sessions, which made cross-build comparison impractical. With 1000 slots, a Kliff main can keep a greatsword loadout, a sword-and-shield loadout, a spear loadout, and a bow loadout side by side without managing inventory.
• Two-handed sword parry during Focus fix is a real combat correction. Builds that ran a parry-counter rotation on a two-handed sword while in Focus mode were silently failing the parry input. Greatsword Kliff parry-counter builds were the most affected and now work as documented.
• Headgear visibility toggle is cosmetic but ends a long-running player frustration. Builds that wanted full helmet stats no longer have to choose between optimal defense and seeing their character's face in cutscenes.
• Classic movement scheme restoration matters for muscle-memory players who preferred the original press-to-accelerate run input. Mount stamina is tuned per scheme.
• Flight skill activation and jump responsiveness improvements help mobility-first Damiane and Kliff builds that chain flight into combat openers.
• Pailune Abyss Nexus shortens travel time on quest lines that route through that region, which raises the practical XP-per-hour on builds in the leveling phase.
