Hello Captains, after a long period of development and testing, we meet again. Version 0.9 is officially here. This update includes a new large town, brand-new gameplay, a wealth of content, and numerous performance optimizations.
1. New Content
1.1 Brand-New Large Town: Misty Town
Misty Town is located on a large island in the northern part of the map. Shrouded in mist year-round, it is home to bizarre townsfolk and hides many secrets waiting for captains to explore. It features new dungeons, quests, sea routes, special goods, trade routes, and brand-new ancient-tier equipment.
1.2 Brand-New Gameplay: Sin Hunters
At Iron Cross Fort, you can join the ranks of the Sin Hunters, accept bounty missions, and hunt down or execute sinners directly. If you carry a bounty on your head, you will also be hunted by other hunters.
1.3 Purchasable Housing
Now, if captains are temporarily weary of wandering the seas and wish to settle down, you can purchase a property in the residential district of the Holy City and furnish it with various decorative components.
1.4 Brand-New Area in the Holy City: Outer City
A brand-new district has been added to the Holy City. Destroyed during the last Cannibal War, its ruins are now home to outsiders who cannot afford the expensive accommodation within the city walls.
1.5 New Map: Iron Cross Fort
You can now travel to Iron Cross Fort to undergo trials as a Sin Hunter, pay ransoms to clear your name, or sell captives.
1.6 New Random Islands
1.7 New Weapon Type: Non-Lethal Weapons
Brooms, baseball bats, and large wooden clubs are now classified as non-lethal weapons. Attacking enemies with these weapons stuns them, allowing you to capture them.

Both monsters and players will now be knocked down when taking heavy impacts.
