PWI Content Patch: Crimson Imperium (v745) Patch Notes - Released September 25, 2013

General
- PWI Title System: Two new series of world-events will now award players with new Titles. Obtaining these titles will also improve players' stats permanently. Players may start these events by heading into Archosaur and opening the new Title interface.

- Lost Kitten: A new randomly-spawning kitten will appear in Archosaur. Find it before it disappears to gain prizes, and possibly a new title.

- Perfect Match System: Players may now choose to locate other players who match each other's playing preferences. Click the new Perfect Match UI at the top-right to begin. May you find the Friend or Lover you're looking for.

- Attendance System: Located in the Event Calendar, players may now Check-In each day. By maintaining a near-perfect attendance, players are awarded prizes, Exp, and Spirit!

- Boutique Gifting and Requests: The Boutique now has options to request items from individuals on your friend list. Alternatively, generous individuals may purchase Boutique items for their friends and those items will automatically appear in their friends' inventories.

- Pigment Extraction: Bring all of your unused fashion items to Fashionista Wang in Northern Archosaur. She will trade them for Random Pigments.

- Commission Shop: Players may now purchase Dragon Oaths from the Boutique to unlock a Commission Shop and vend their wares for up to 1 billion coins per item. Potential buyers can peruse through all Commission Shop inventories, from anywhere in the world, by clicking the new Commission Shop button at the top left corner. To purchase a Commission Shop item, players must speak to a Commission Shop NPC in Archosaur.

- [Event] Quick as the Wind: A new event that will activate at a later time. Players are tasked to locate monsters and kill them as quick as possible. Top prizes go to the fastest slayers.

- [Event] Auspicious Contest: A new event that will activate at a later time. Players are asked to combat the phoenix Zhu Que before he disappears. Players who participate in this event may be rewarded with an Absence Note (an item that will make up for absences in the above-mentioned Attendance system).

- Crimson Imperial Envoy: For months now, a strange vessel has moored itself off the coast of Archosaur awaiting silently. Now, a new leader has appeared with portends of a great coming evil. What lies ahead, no one is sure.
