16. Fixed various typos.
1. All the NPCs, except for Billy and the newly added Cruz, in the First Garrison area are female. -_-;;;
Some of the "decorative" ambient NPCs actually move about within the area, so that's something new for GE.
In total there are only four maps to this region according to the new World Map. The First Garrison base and the instanced Castilla Mine raid dungeon are immediately accessible. The other two areas are Castilla Ruin and Castilla Relic, which are linked to the back of the Castilla Mine.
5. The Castilla Mine is a rather interesting instanced raid dungeon that is structured differently from other missions.
The map is huge and linear with many boss spawns at regular intervals. Every boss killed extends the mission time left by 15 minutes and thus enables further exploration deeper into the mines.
The mob level starts at 100, but quickly scale up deeper into dungeon. They have lots of HP too.
6. The Decoration system is basically an "achievement unlock" title system. There are lots of achievements to unlock, the most common being "Castilla Mine Explorer", which is unlocked simply by going into the mines. There's a new slot in the character sheet for equipment of these new medals. A character with a medal equipped will have a colourful title floating on his head. Apart from bragging rights, the medals don't seem to offer any special bonus for now.
