Royal Fern Root Exchange
Royal Fern Roots had little use for Adventurers who already owned every Mythical Horse and no longer needed to attempt Mythical Awakening, leaving the items to simply pile up in the Family Inventory.
To address this, we have added a new exchange recipe that allows Adventurers who no longer need Royal Fern Roots to exchange them for other items.
- Added an exchange with Wapra, the Material Vendor at Stonetail Horse Ranch, allowing Royal Fern Roots to be exchanged for Courser Training materials.
| Exchange Item | Obtainable Item |
 Royal Fern Root x3
