• If an item is not sold within the period it was listed for or you cancel the sale, you can relist it.
• If you listed the item while in a PC Room and you are currently not in one (or vice-versa), a popup UI will appear so that you can see the differences.
• Items that become untradeable if returned can only be relisted by the character who listed them in the first place.

Lie detectors have been made easier to use.

• When opening Core Gemstones, you can now press the ESC key to speed up the animation.
• You can now scroll through pages in the V Matrix UI using the mouse wheel.

In the Cash Shop preview window, you can now try on items in your Cash Storage. After selecting an item in your Cash Storage, you can see it on the preview window by clicking the [Apply] button.

The Cash Shop’s Cash Storage will now display which jobs you share the storage with. You can hover over the Cash Shop’s Storage button to see which jobs your character currently shares Cash items with.
