Ran Mobile: Winter 2025 Expansion Notes

Welcome to the Winter 2025 Milestone Expansion! The holiday season has officially descended upon the campus grounds. This major version update introduces our dedicated Winter event cycle, deploys highly requested quality-of-life user interface overhauls, tightens system-level restrictions on School War access and character management, and expands our cosmetic wardrobe catalog with a massive lineup of upcoming costumes. Read below for the full patch documentation.

🎄 Winter Seasonal Event Loops & Holiday Content

Brace the cold, hunt down frozen entities across the map sectors, and claim permanent, limited-edition winter rewards:

👵 Winter Spirit NPC: A new festive event coordinator has been stationed locally at all School Campuses to guide you through the holiday activities.
📜 Winter Daily Questlines: Complete specialized seasonal assignments every day to accumulate event currencies and rare material drops.
❄️ Snowball Exchange Terminal: Collect scattered Snowballs throughout your open-world travels and trade them in for high-value resources.
☃️ Threat Alert: Global Snow Monsters: Frozen creatures have broken loose and are now roaming wildly across all primary leveling zones. Track them down for exclusive holiday loot drops!
🛍️ Christmas Themed Marketplace: The commercial shopping hub has received a full visual redesign, complete with festive holiday decorations and seasonal background aesthetics.
🎰 Xmas Weapon Costume 2025 Gacha: Spin the wheel to secure the ultimate holiday prize—the 2025 Christmas-themed visual weapon skins are now officially available as a Permanent drop via the Gacha pool.

🆕 UI Feature Showcase: Minimap Entity List

We are introducing a powerful tracking tool to streamline your navigation, grinding, and open-world hunting routines:

🎯 Minimap Entity List Feature: A new expandable navigation sidebar has been integrated directly into your maximized map screen. This panel lists and tracks local point-of-interest targets, making it easier than ever to pinpoint critical map elements.

🛡️ Global Economy Shifts & Content Retirements

To prepare for our winter progression balance, multiple legacy seasonal events, duplicate questlines, and vendor inventories have been cleared from the database:

System Node	Action / Retirement Status Deployed
🍬 Auntie Marites Shop	REMOVED: All enhancement refinement stones have been permanently removed from her storefront inventory.
👹 Kapre NPC Hub	REMOVED: The temporary Halloween event questlines and interaction nodes have been officially closed down.
👕 BoohGoc NPC	REMOVED: The 2nd Anniversary costume exchange coordinator has departed all campus grounds.
🎰 Lucky Gacha Machine	REMOVED: The limited-run seasonal Spooky Glove Weapon costumes have been rotated out of the active prize pool.

🔧 General Changes, Mechanical Fixes, & System Refinements

🧹 Bright Points Cleaning Rework: The daily cleaning quest issued by the Student Director has been completely redesigned. Instead of completing standard tasks, players are now assigned to eradicate invasive Garbage Monsters scattered across all school hole map layers.
🛹 Hoverboard Performance Balancing: To combat balance issues in high-level PvP and mobility loops, a strict **activation cooldown timer** has been added to all Hoverboards. Furthermore, mounting a hoverboard will now **instantly strip away all active character buffs**.
📦 Weight & Encumbrance Transparency: Solved the mystery behind the random "slow-motion movement" bug! High-visibility visual warning text will now pop up instantly on your screen whenever your inventory space or weight limits are completely full and your character becomes heavily encumbered.
⚔️ Swordsman Oblivion E Safety Prompt: Added a target UI warning string that triggers if you attempt to use an Oblivion E card without sufficient empty slots in your bag, preventing potential item data loss.
🗃️ Character Deletion Security Safeguards: To protect your accounts from accidental data loss, extra validation confirmation steps have been integrated into the system before a character profile is permanently erased. Additionally, the system will now display a customized warning notice if an account attempts to bypass boundaries and hits the **Maximum Character Deletion** threshold limit.
🏫 School War Level Cap Increase: To guarantee an elite, balanced competitive arena, the entry level requirement for registering and entering the School War matches has been raised to a strict Level 130 minimum (up from legacy bounds).
🌿 Shaman Dark Souls Level Correction: Fixed a severe database leveling error for the Shaman class, restoring the prerequisite level requirement for the Dark Souls ability back to its intended Level 97 baseline (corrected down from level 99).
🎨 Graphic & Asset Polish: Repaired structural 3D scaling errors that were causing select weapon costumes to display with distorted or incorrect model sizes while sheathed on a character's back.
🌐 [EXPERIMENTAL] International Input Script: Deployed backend keyboard localization logic aimed at resolving character input freezes and chat bugs for players utilizing international keyboard arrays (specifically supporting Thailand, Japan, and China layouts).
