▣ Mannequin System Added

A new feature will be added that allows you to purchase Mannequins, customize their appearance, and apply them to your characters and Companions.

You can set the Mannequin's gender, save beauty and costume settings to the Mannequin, and apply the saved appearance to your characters and Companions.

When a Mannequin is equipped, the Mannequin's appearance will be applied as-is, regardless of the character or Companion's gender.

Defeat the 'Evil Snake Brothers' Boss to earn points based on damage rankings, with victory determined by the total points of all Guild Members.

Rewards will be distributed to all Guild Members based on victory or defeat, and individual Rankings will be calculated based on damage dealt to the Boss, providing temporary additional Buff effects.
