Suddenly your pets will not follow your orders because you're too weak.

Soon Hackers will be known as Team Rocket, and the rise of Team Snatch'em is inevitable.

The cash shop item for pet changing is introduced during this update, however it doesn't mean it will be implemented for sure. There are other cash items not introduced like Unseal scrolls to unseal item you lock with seal scroll (Purchased through NPC to make item untradable to prevent being hacked, doesn't not prevent hacker from burning the item though), Personal Removable Potion is also not introduced etc. The Overview here is just what can be expected from the update.

That being said, the only thing was officially released on the website is the new mastery skill and the combo cards (For a seasonal update, that is really minimal content compare in the old days.), I am sure there's more than just that being added in the update, in fact I think it was mentioned over the live chat earlier today that they are going to release the Lorna and Pan gachapon which is like a premium gachapon similar to that of the devCat gachapon with NPC clothing like Hamlet, Laertes and their hair style as wigs (And yes u can dye the NPC hair wigs, expect flashing hair???). I can't say for sure the Beginner Service will be the same as described here, but it can be expected. I think most of the other updates are in game details that people will find out when playing that Nexon don't think it need a official announcements, or will announce after the updates, because there's nothing much to expect from this update other than the card system and new bow mastery.

As far as security concerned, if you don't have NX stored up in your account it should be fine because it is unlikely a hacker will charge your account then smuggle out the pet from your account. Or you can always trade back and forth between account 5 times (That is the max amount a pet is allowed to be transferred) if you feel so insecure, but that would cost a lot NX, because the Pet Transfer Medallion is not exactly cheap.
*Sidenote: you have to clear your pet's inventory before transferring, no hold items allowed or it might have a "Trade Evolution" XD.

1. Shadow Mission Re-balance:
Shadow Mission Completion Reward rebalanced based on completion rate.


^^ Hey! I feel like I'm taking these words out of context. Shadow Mission rewards are the same every time you complete a Shadow Mission, right? They just lowered the experience values for some of them, correct?

Yes the rewards are the same, what I meant was the devCat took the statistics based on how many times a mission was completed and rebalanced the completion exp and gold reward based on the data. As a result, popular mission like Shadow Casted City received a reward nerf, whereas missions like Crag Cow got a boost. There are certain missions that are not changed though, such as Shadow Warrior and Their Method. My guess is that is because those missions are 1 person only even though it is being run by many players. As a side note though, Their Method did get a nerf before the mission hit NA server; however, the nerf was on the monsters in the mission, the zombies actually give double the amount of exp now in the respective difficulty level prior to the nerf, but I guess devCat changed their mind.
