The biggest hidden 1.0 buff: many Partner Skills now work when a Pal is in your party, not only while fighting beside you.
Examples of the shift
- Ore and lumber weight reduction from party slot
- Drop rate buffs without active combat
- Element resist auras (Kitsun ice resist, etc.)
- Work suitability boosts at base while Pal is in party (some skills)
- Open Paldeck and read updated skill text (values now show percentages)
- Move gatherers into party slot while exploring
- Swap combat Pals only at towers or raids
- Rank up Pals to see improved numbers in skill descriptions
