Global update “New Journey”, Path 1
[Career: Ranger]
  • The first 5 Heroes who enter the Team Tianshui Cave can obtain the final reward.
  • When collecting the Boss Treasure Chest in the Team Tianshui Cave, each Hero needs to open it personally.
  • If you accidentally leave during the exploration of Tianshui Cave, the compensation mechanism will be triggered. The Support Reward will be lower than the items that can be obtained by normal completion, and it will consume the number of assist rewards for this week.


[Warforge Reminder Optimization]

When the power of the Warforge Scroll or Warsoul Scroll in the backpack is higher than that of the one you are wearing, the icon will have a green upward arrow, making it easier for you to identify the better Warforge and Warsoul.


[New Adventure]
  • "Windless Whining"
    A new magical weapon has been added to the "Jia-zi Artifact" series (Adventure)! Lian Qing traveled around the world with a zither and a sword. His zither was called the Archdemon Zither, and his sword was called Windless Whining, which was the one that sank in Swordsman’s Sword Pond.


  • Billow Sword
    A new magical weapon has been added to the "Jia-zi Artifact" series (Adventure)! The Billow Sword was originally passed down to Shen Hai by Shen Lang. Prince Yu used it to travel the world, but after the Swan Duel, it was taken away by Shen Hong...


  • "One Jianghu Thought"
    Complete the Yunnan Meeting Storyline and have a chance to unlock a brand new dungeon theme adventure! Ye Kai and Fu Hong were in the meteor dust, how could Ding Lin and Zhou Ting just sit there and watch? Let’s follow Lu Jia to entertain them.


  • "Yunnan Landscape"
    The newly added Yunnan Map Adventure will take you to appreciate the intoxicating eyes of the Assassin Women! Meteorite dust is everywhere in Yunnan, so you need to wear a Gold Mask. Who knew that Duan Cheng, this unscrupulous businessman, would raise the price...



[New Fair Arena Mode—Battle of Falling Stars]

  • Scenery Overview:
    • When the Yunnan meteorite floated in the air, a force was secretly investigating. It was an organization called Pavilion of Marvelous Sage, which was compiling the "Encyclopedia of the Great Song Dynasty" in the name of conducting more secret research. Chu Luo came to Yunnan and secretly asked the young Hero of Eight Wastelands to collect shards of the floating meteorite or other things affected by it and hand them over to Chu Luo to take back for research.
    • In return, Pavilion of Marvelous Sage provides generous rewards to the young Hero.
  • Game Mode Start Conditions:
    • Players who have reached level 37 and above can participate in the competition through the newly added "Battle of Falling Stars" Game Mode entrance.
    • Participants: 1-5 people (for teams with less than 5 people, the system will add teammates when they enter the map).
    • After all team members are ready, the captain can "Join matchmaking" and the system will match multiple teams into the same battlefield to compete for the trophies.
  • Game Mode Objectives and Process:
    • After entering the map, all players will be renamed "Explorers". In the severe weather of Yunnan meteorites floating in the air, they will look for combat supplies left by Pavilion of Marvelous Sage to improve their exploration capabilities, and survive, compete, challenge hostile forces in the periodic meteor dust storms, and compete for trophies.
    • Pavilion of Marvelous Sage will provide players who survive each Meteor Dust Storm with Evacuation Device that can be used for a short period of time. Players can choose to evacuate with the loot, or continue to go deeper into the storm to compete for rarer loot.
  • Game Mode Rewards:
    • The equipment and medicines picked up from the supply chests scattered around the map will be destroyed after the map exploration is ended, while the resources obtained in the Meteor Dust Storm can be sold for Falling Star Coin (up to 20 groups) upon successful evacuation. Hostile factions and Earth Flame Bosses in the Meteor Dust Storm will inevitably drop "Glaze Fire" (materials required for the partner building system, with a weekly upper limit of 60 in the Battle of Falling Stars Map). There are also collectible Earth Flame resources scattered on the map (requires reaching a specified Earth Flame identity level), which can be taken out of the map as trophies when successfully evacuating.
  • New Market Shop, Stardust Equipment, and Tokens "Falling Star Coin":
    • A new season reset token "Falling Star Coin" has been added. It can be used to purchase the items of "Stardust" series in the Falling Stars Shop that can enhance combat effectiveness in the Falling Star Battlefield, as well as the materials required for the Earthly Flame career.
    • The "Stardust" series of equipment can greatly enhance combat capabilities in the Battle of Falling Stars, but each time it is brought into the battlefield (including those already worn and wrapped), it will lose 20% of its durability. If the durability reaches 0, it will be damaged and cannot be used.


  • Season Levels and Season Quests:
    • During the season, you can gain season experience by completing the challenge quests updated weekly or successfully evacuating the map, and you can claim generous rewards by upgrading the season level. During the season, the standard level will increase by 5 levels each week. When it is higher than the season standard level, the season EXP gained will be attenuated. Most of the season EXP can be obtained by completing weekly quests. The season level is also used as the basis for the Battle of Falling Stars Game Mode Rank.
    • After the season ends, Falling Star Coins, Season Levels and rewards, bags, and Falling Star resources in the Storage will all be reset. Please arrange your experience time together. For more new experiences and rule details, please check the Game Mode Rules in the in-game mode interface.



[New Crafting System—Partner Equipment]

  • Partner Equipment is activated simultaneously with the Partner System. You can wear equipment in the partner Main Interface to gain more abilities and special skills.
  • Only Partners of Supreme quality or above can wear Equipment. Equipment parts are divided into weapons, armor and accessories.
  • When the same partner wears three pieces of Supreme+ quality equipment, they can activate the bond and gain a Co-Learning Stats Bonus. Partners with exclusive equipment can also gain a Co-Learning Stats Bonus after wearing the exclusive equipment.
  • Exclusive Partner Equipment:
    • Ye Kai: Meteorite: Wooden Flower
    • Fu Hong: Meteorite: Empty Snow
    • Tang Feng: Meteorite: Flame of Red Leaves
    • Ye Zhi: Meteorite: Lone Wings
    • Li Tang: Meteorite: Moonfall Plate
    • Qu Yi: Meteorite: Green Emotion
  • Crafting Partner Equipment:
    • Partner Equipment is obtained through Crafting, which is divided into Random Crafting and Blueprint Crafting. The crafting materials are obtained through the Battle of Falling Stars Mode and the Earthly Flame Career Mode.
    • The Blueprint materials needed to craft Partner Equipment will be gradually available in the middle of this Battle of Falling Stars season, so stay tuned!



[New Tale Challenge – Meeting Grandmaster in Yunnan]

In Yunnan, a meteorite appeared suspended in the air. Ye Kai and Fu Hong went to investigate, but there was no news and they have not returned for a long time.
Lu Jia, the Untamed School master, out of consideration for his brothers, has set off to Yunnan to search. School Master Lu is alone in the face of the meteorite crisis in Yunnan and the situation is unpredictable. I would like to ask the brothers to help School Master Lu find out the truth!
Defeating the Tale Boss will drop a new set of Exquisite Equipment and materials for crafting Supreme jewelry! You can also get the Essence of Ye Kai and Zhou Ting's Appearance Fashion!


[New Fondness]

The "Sword of Eight Wastelands" series adds a new fully interactive character: Bunu, the Assassin Elder. Beneath the carefree appearance, there is a heart as hot as fire. His past and future are waiting for you to understand and discover personally!
When players reach Lv. 91, they can activate Gong Jian and Tang San's "A Thought of Mortals" state, and interact with them to gain additional Fondness.


[New Collection]

Horizon Entries - Yunnan
  • What beauty resides within the toxic flames and swirling miasma, As fireflies pirouette through a sea of blossoms, defying the trials of eternity.
  • As the setting sun cleaves the desolate mountains, Withered trees crumble to ash, their crows as crimson as the twilight sky.
  • The beauty of Yunnan is waiting for everyone to explore.
  • New Collection have been added to the collections of Comrade, Ups and Downs, Chance Encounter, Jia-zi Artifact, and Book of Artifact.


Optimization and Adjustment of School Balance
[Fairy]
  • Fairy is generally weak in a Joist. When facing a dual-control profession, the control-release breathing time is too long to deal with the exchange of skills. The long guidance time of Fragrant Traces Skill also makes it easy to be counterattacked by the enemy when outputting. At the same time, the instantaneous roll of Umbrella Spin will fail when used, which also makes the feel of the hand-free skill poor. This time, targeted adjustments have been made to the above problems.
  • Fragrant Traces: Adjust the attack rhythm of Fragrant Traces and slightly increase the overall attack speed.
  • Fairy hit dance: Slightly shortens the displacement of the last attack of Fairy hit dance, allowing Fairy to be closer to the target, making it easier to connect with the Fling Skill – Fairy Flash.
  • Slash Fragrant flower: Increases the duration of Slash Fragrant flower by 3 seconds.
  • Umbrella Spin: Adjusts the starting speed of Umbrella Spin so that Umbrella Spin will not be interrupted by skills such as roll, causing losses.
  • Exquisite Beauty: Shortens the rest time of Fairy Control Breaker Skill – Exquisite Beauty – by 3 seconds.

[Assassin]
  • Assassins are generally strong in the Joist. When the stealth scan hits three times, the long stealth time makes it impossible for the opponent to effectively counterattack. The long skill rest time of the Assassins themselves can be restored, resulting in too high a benefit of stealth. At the same time, the Shadow Spike Skill can only be used after three scans, resulting in low skill effectiveness. The above problems have been adjusted this time.
  • A Host of Ghosts: Each time a scan hits a target, the extended stealth time is shortened from 1.5 seconds to 1 second, and the extended stealth time of the last scan is shortened from 2.5 seconds to 1.5 seconds.
  • Shadow Spike: Shadow Spike can be triggered after the second scan hits the target.
  • Snake Pierce: Slightly increased the public rest time of Snake Pierce's roll.


Mode Optimization and Adjustment
[Career Mode Speed Up]
  • The energy consumption of Scholar Quiz has been reduced by 33%, and the energy consumption of Fishing has been reduced from 75 per time to 50.
  • The weekly limit of the corresponding Game Mode of Bounty Hunter, Ranger, Constable, and Escortmaster is reduced by 33%, and the single completion reward is increased by 50% on the original basis (the number of Career Tokens output remains unchanged).
  • The number of times the Skystar Chest is opened per week is reduced to 20 times, and the reward for opening the Tier 4 Skystar Chest is increased by 50% on the original basis.
  • All Careers: The efficiency of consuming Career Vigor to obtain Career EXP is increased from 100% to 150% (Career Heroics Rewards are adjusted accordingly).
  • Ranger Career Optimization:
    • Optimized the entry statistics rules of Tianshui Cave, the reminder for repeated entry, and the compensation mechanism for accidentally leaving halfway.
    • Tianshui Cave is optimized to be closed within 10 minutes after the scene is opened.

[Guild related adjustments]
  • The Territory Battle adds a limited-time title backboard reward: after the guild obtains the ownership of the territory, the guild members will be eligible to wear it in real time.
  • Citadel of Shura adds limited-time rare mount rewards: When Shura City is settled, all current guild members of the No. 1 guild will automatically unlock the Black Wolf Mount "Moonhowl: Night Terror" and the Wolf Mount Saddle "Fierce Armor: Thunderclap", limited to 7 days.
  • The individual rewards of the game mode have been adjusted. Some of the Blue and Purple Epitaph outputs in the guild mode have been moved to the Floret Treasure, and the original Epitaph output has been replaced with Guild Contribution:
    • Guild Appointment: Epitaph Giftbox x4 removed, and the Guild Contribution Reward was increased to 600.
    • War at Haihe: Personal rewards: Purple Epitaph x3 in each boss giftbox removed and replaced with 240 Guild Contribution.
    • Wild Showdown Report: Removed 5 Optional Purple Epitaph and replaced them with 8 Guild Merit Mark.
  • Game Mode Auction Rewards adjusted: The opening level of Artifact Materials in Jiang Shan Challenge, Guild Tournament, War at Haihe, and Territory Battle auctions has been raised to lv. 61.
  • In the personal rewards of War at Haihe and Jiang Shan Challenge, the number of Artifact Predestination Ingredients Chests has been increased to 7.
  • Added the Yunnan Battlefield to the Guild War Declaration.
  • In subsequent updates, the Haihe Token rewards for Guild Check-in, Revelry, Tournament and other Game Mode will be appropriately increased.

[Character Lv.]
  • The upper limit of character level is expanded to lv. 150.
  • The EXP required for character upgrades from level 81 to level 100 is reduced, and the upgrade speed will be faster.
  • Since the upgrade EXP from level 81 to level 100 is reduced, your current EXP may exceed the EXP required for upgrading. During the update, your current EXP will be adjusted, but it will not affect your normal upgrade rhythm, so please rest assured.
  • Fixed the issue where some experience may not be obtained after the Hero has used up all the stored experience.

[Stat Balance System]
  • For servers with lower levels, we will compensate for Battle Stats in some cross-server experiences based on the level differences between servers to narrow the ability differences between servers.

[Some Development Game Mode Move Forward]
  • In order to alleviate the problem of insufficient Growth Materials after level acceleration and reduce the ability differences between servers, the opening levels of some development mode will be moved forward or the consumption will be reduced:
    • The opening level of Masterforging has been moved forward: Headpiece level 56, Top level 62, Underpants level 72, and Bracer level 82.
