V. Monster Gameplay and Presentation
Key Updates:
Monster gameplay: Monster combat logic has been reworked. Combat against monsters is now more action-oriented and places more emphasis on skill checks. Monsters now move faster and use more threatening attacks. At the same time, players can respond with stronger and richer mechanics such as Dodge, block, and control, and can suppress monsters through sustained attacks.
New monsters: This update adds a new batch of monsters to Dark Cave Port, enriching the monster ecology of the map. These new monsters have distinct appearances and special mechanics. Treasure Hunters can look forward to discovering the details inside Dark Cave Port.
Mist Gate: Mist Gate mechanics have been added to BOSS rooms in Lotha Kingdom. Mist Gates block players from entering or leaving the BOSS room.
When the BOSS enters combat, Mist Gates block the two entrances to the room.
After the BOSS leaves combat or dies, the Mist Gates are removed.
Players outside the BOSS room can briefly interact with a Mist Gate to pass through it and enter the arena.
There is also a mechanism inside the arena that can directly remove the Mist Gates.
These mechanical changes give players challenging the BOSS more certainty and reduce sudden deaths caused by unexpected outside attacks, while also creating new interaction and contest points around the BOSS room.
VI. New Map and New Gameplay
New Gameplay:
Paragon Rumble: A new 6v6 team competition mode. In this ruleset, there are no equipment attribute bonuses and no in-match economic burden. Set aside numerical suppression. Only execution and teamwork decide victory. Enjoy pure, intense combat on the fairest stage.
Dawn Sanctum: A new PvE challenge. Use a dedicated ticket to open the gates of the Sanctum. Break through waves of monsters along the way and escort the Torchbearer safely to the final destination. Only those who survive the trials of the Sanctum can claim its massive Relic rewards.
Dark Cave Port Major Event: A major event can now trigger in Dark Cave Port. The ancient conflict between the Undead Pirates and the Sea Snail Clan erupts once again, and the battlefield swallowed by seawater resurfaces. Form Pact with one faction, cross the chaotic battlefield, and offer Offer Tokens to obtain rich treasure.
New Map Mechanic - Mistbush: Large Mistbush areas have been added to maps. Entering these areas hides your figure, allowing you to launch surprise attacks against passing enemies.
VII. Equipment System Update
Key Updates:
Equipment slots have been simplified to weapons, two armor pieces (helmet and chest armor), and three accessories.
Weapons and armor have Durability, which is consumed during combat.
Armor is now universal across all heroes. The plate, cloth, and leather armor restrictions have been removed.
The accessory system returns. Accessories are universal across all heroes and can be used to freely choose build directions across Defense, Movement, treasure hunting, Support, Physical, and Magic.
A new Reforge system has been added, allowing equipment that does not suit the current hero to be reforged into new equipment.
VIII. Cooking System
New Content:
A new Cooking system has been added. When entering a mystic realm, remember that there is more to find than equipment and Relics. Do not forget to see what good ingredients those monsters might bring back.
The Cooking system connects Ingredients, monsters, and dishes into a new exploration line: defeat different monsters, collect different Ingredients, return to Camp to cook them into dishes, then enter the next adventure with new preparation.
Update Focus:
1. Monster-exclusive Ingredients
Each monster has its own unique Ingredient, which has a chance to drop after the monster is defeated.
To complete your Ingredient collection, you will need to challenge different monsters. To cook more dishes, you will also need to expand your hunting targets.
Ingredients are no longer just loot. They become a new collection goal connecting monsters, the compendium, and dishes.
2. Return to the lobby and start cooking
Ingredients brought back after defeating monsters can become a hot dish in the lobby. Whether you cook steadily or experiment boldly is up to you.
Different Ingredient combinations produce different dishes, giving you new preparation for your next exploration, combat, or survival attempt.
Each return to Camp now comes with a bit more anticipation. Check the monster Ingredients in your bag and see whether you can serve a new dish this time.
When in a party, you can also provide lunchboxes to teammates or request them from teammates.
3. Ingredient Compendium: can monsters be delicious too?
The new Ingredient Compendium records discovered Ingredients, their corresponding monsters, and background trivia, giving every drop a traceable origin.
The Ingredient comics in the compendium are one of the highlights of this update. How monsters become Ingredients and what exactly goes into each dish are explained through lighthearted mini-comics. After reading them, you may look at the next monster in an entirely new way.
IX. Permanent Vault
Key Updates:
A Permanent Vault has been added. High-value treasures and surplus Arcane Gold can be stored in the Permanent Vault.
Items in the Vault can be freely placed, and stored items and Arcane Gold can be withdrawn at any time.
A new Codex system has been added. Discover different collectibles in mystic realms to light up the compendium.
X. Talent
Key Updates:
The new Talent system has been added. Talent is a new account-wide growth route. Treasure Hunters can gain Talent Points through continuous growth, then activate ability nodes and Tactical Skills across different directions.
Growth Directions:
Combat: Strengthens performance against monsters and improves combat suppression and Survivability.
Mobility: Improves movement, scouting, and battlefield maneuvering.
Treasure Hunting: Improves exploration, searching, and resource acquisition.
Treasure Hunters can freely plan their growth route according to their exploration habits and combat style, building a more suitable out-of-match growth setup.
XI. Events, Quests, Rank, and Loadout
Key Updates:
Version events provide staged goals, giving players clear pursuits across different time periods.
Quests, quest chains, event exchanges, and reward content form a more stable growth path.
Rank, Loadout, matchmaking, and events jointly carry the version-cycle goals.
Pass experience, event rewards, and quest rewards affect staged goals and resource acquisition methods.
Events such as Sword in the Stone, Don't Miss Your Chicken, Road of Champion, Weekend Assault, and Treasure Carnival Day will appear gradually according to the version rhythm.
XII. Looting Experience Optimization
Key Updates:
Container value tiers: All containers have been reclassified into five value tiers: red, gold, purple, blue, and green. Appearance, distribution, in-match prompts, and drop experience now differ by tier, making it clear at a glance which containers are more worth opening.
Room container placement: The total number of containers across the map has been streamlined, while the quantity and quality differences between rooms have been increased. High-value rooms now stand out more clearly, and route decisions require more tradeoffs. Some rooms now have distinct themes and are more likely to produce items that match their theme.
Scattered loot expansion: The variety of scattered loot has been greatly expanded. With enough luck, you may find major surprises in specific corners. Scattered items are now bound to scene objects such as chairs, tables, and shelves, making pickup feel more natural.
Collectible categories simplified: In-match collectibles have been simplified from 6 categories to 5: Artisan crafts, Literature & Codices, Battle & Adventure, Household items, and Arcane Creations. Category boundaries are clearer, making bag organization, Marketplace selling, and Collection completion more intuitive.
Keys now correspond one-to-one with Key Rooms: The relationship between Keys and Key Rooms has changed from "one Key can open multiple room types" to one-to-one correspondence. Red, gold, purple, and blue Keys now each open their own dedicated Key Room, making treasure-hunting goals clearer and planning stronger. The keyring carry limit has also been increased from 4 slots to 5 slots.
XIII. Other Experience Optimizations
Key Updates:
Loadout and Share Set: The pre-battle preparation system has been simplified, and players can give sets to teammates or request sets from them.
Friend Gifts: Friend Gifts are now live. Once Affinity reaches the required threshold, you can gift collectibles that you have completed this Season but your friend still needs. Gifts will be delivered by mail. Weekly send and receive counts are limited, so remember to save these precious chances for those closest to you.
Hero proficiency: Displays accumulated use of a single hero, making long-term investment in a hero more visible.
Monthly Card permission optimization: Benefits display, Duration, and related resources are now clearer.
Warehouse and bag layout rework: Improves efficiency when viewing items, organizing items, and preparing before departure.
HUD display optimization: Improves recognition efficiency for key combat information, allowing players to read status, resources, and combat prompts more quickly.
Sword in the Stone experience optimization: The effect of increased damage against monsters and immunity to monster aggro now applies to all members of the holder party.
In-match social experience optimization: Quick messages and markers can now be customized. Global voice has been added, and nearby players can also hear it. Pickup now has agreement protection, and players who participated in a kill or assist receive priority pickup rights.
Camp system optimization: The Camp main interface now includes convenient entrances for Alchemy, potion-making, and crafting.
Trader system optimization: The Trader entrance has been moved into Camp. A new Camp facility, the Merchant Guild, has been added to carry Trader-related growth content.
New Lucky Stall gameplay: After the Merchant Guild reaches a certain growth stage, the Lucky Stall entrance opens. The Lucky Stall periodically lists a batch of special-price goods.
