1. Gameplay & Mechanic Adjustments
1.1 Combat Mechanic Optimization
Revised combat state logic for spellcasting. Players may now perform basic attacks while casting spells, improving combat fluidity and combo flexibility.

- **Group Recall (Sorcerer)**: Cast time adjusted to 15 seconds.
### 1.3 Inventory Protection Update
Players cannot drop items from their inventory while in combat stance or taking damage, preventing accidental item loss during fights.
### 1.4 Trial Grounds Expansion
A new exclusive safe zone has been added to the Trial Grounds. Players may purchase access with gold from the Alchemist NPC.
- 8 monster spawn points covering levels 25, 35, 45 and 55, suitable for all progression stages.
- **Special Rule**: Monsters in this zone grant experience only and drop no items or loot of any kind, providing a dedicated leveling environment.
