 Cron Meal cooldowns have been reduced from 30 minutes to 10 seconds.
Cron Meals were used in a variety of different content, but were inconvenient to use if ever they were accidentally consumed due to the long cooldown times.
To prevent such mishaps, we decided to reduce their cooldown to 10 seconds. However, considering how Health EXP can be gained from food consumption, we decided to add the “Satiated” debuff to keep the rate of gaining Health EXP the same as before.
Please note that certain other food effects can still be stacked, hence the reason why we chose to retain their respective cooldowns as before.

● Changed the cooldown of Seafood Cron Meal, Simple Cron Meal, and Exquisite Cron Meal to 10 seconds.
– Consuming any of the following food items will apply the “Satiated” debuff.
– The “Satiated” debuff lasts for 30 minutes. During this time, any food consumed will not grant your character Health EXP gains.

– The complete list of food items that apply the “Satiated” debuff when consumed are as follows.
* Certain event food items also apply the “Satiated” debuff.

● Separated [Nova] Aquila Gloves and Shoes from the [Nova] Aquila Armor.
– Added [Nova] Aquila Gloves and Shoes to the outfit boxes that contain the [Nova] Aquila Armor.
* Adventurers who had the [Nova] Sephia Aquila in their possession will find the [Nova] Aquila Gloves and Shoes in their storage in Heidel.
* If your outfit’s dyed settings appear different from before the update, please contact [Support] with a screenshot of your original dyed setting.
