Editing Patch/Slay Your Way to Elgacia (section)

== General & QoL Updates ==
=== Stronghold Updates ===
* Adding Stronghold Mood Function: 6 types of moods added
** Added one new related achievement.
* Added the Guest Book functional structure.
* Added 25 Structures and 12 Skins to the Pet Ranch's Jam Cookie Exchange.
* Added the Market Area to the Farm Island, which contains all Exchange NPCs so they can be more easily reached.

* Dispatch Station Revamp
** The UI has changed to make the Achievement Grade rates more intuitive.
** Only A, S, and SS grades now exist.
** The grade received is based on the Adaption rate in a much more intuitive way. Players always have a 1% chance of receiving an SS grade reward by default. All adaption until 100% will increase the chance of obtaining an S grade reward at a 1:1 ratio. All adaption past 100% will increase the chance of obtaining SS at a 1:1 ratio. So at 77% adaption, Players will have a 1% chance at SS, 76% at S, and the remaining 23% at A. Or at 110% adaption, players will receive a 11% chance at SS, and 89% at S.
** Compensation at each grade has been adjusted. A reward section for each grade is applied, but the amount will vary. You can only obtain the Epic items exchanged for Raid Seals at SS.
** You can now repair all ships in the Dispatch menu at once instead of individually.
** When reaching SS/S grade for Chaos Dungeon Special Dispatch Missions, the probability of obtaining an Engraving is the same as if you manually completed the dungeon.
* You can now check the results of and claim the rewards of all completed Dispatch Missions at once
* Revamped the Design Themes. Filters, Favorites, and a Search Bar have been added to the Design Theme menu, and new Themes have been added:
