Where Winds Meet

July 23 Version 2.0 Optimization and Fixes Announcement

Dear Wanderer, Windtail has brought you the latest update news from Eastwind Pavilion. Read on for the details!

[Path Balance Adjustments]

Based on real-time data and feedback, this balance optimization focuses on adjusting Paths that underperformed or had room for improvement, while ensuring overall stability. We have also addressed core pain points frequently reported by Wanderers that significantly affected the experience, and made targeted adjustments to the experience and balance of certain game modes.

We welcome you to continue providing valuable suggestions. We will carefully listen to every piece of feedback and continue to make prudent adjustments to progression, Paths, and competitive modes in future versions to optimize experience.

General Experience Optimizations

1. The Buff Food category has been split into Vitality Food and Attack Food. These two effects can now coexist, allowing Wanderers to simultaneously increase their Max HP and Physical Attack. Consequently, Auto-Buff Items has been updated to support equipping both types of food at the same time.
2. The calculation priority for Buff Food attributes has been adjusted. Attribute boost from Buff Food will now be added directly to your Base Attributes from character progression to calculate your Effective Attributes. These Effective Attributes will then be uniformly scaled by other percentage-based buffs. The character stat UI has been updated to clearly distinguish between Base Physical Attack and Effective Physical Attack.
3. The Qi damage output of DoT effects has been standardized to a consistent baseline, matching their application methods. Some effects (like Bleeding/High Bleeding from Strategic Sword) have gained Qi damage; others (like Weeping Blood/Piercing Damage from Fivefold Bleed, Qingyi's Poison from Bitter Seasons, Combustion from Dragon's Breath, and Burning from Divinecraft: Fire) have had their Qi damage reduced. Newly added DoT effects (like Dark Scorch from Dragon's Breath) will also adhere to this new baseline.
4. Adjustments have been made to the Exhaustion Vulnerability multiplier bucket. The universal vulnerability applied by the Exhausted and the bonus vulnerability from Qi Imbalance have been moved to the same multiplier zone as Mechanism-Based DMG Boost found in Boss Modes. This mitigates the diminishing returns caused by multiplier dilution for paths relying heavily on universal damage boosts.
5. Addition to Tier 4 Inner Way Seasonal Edge: Completing the active cast of the Control-Removing Mystic Skill Serene Breeze can now trigger a random effect, with the probability of rolling Spring or Winter significantly reduced; addition to Tier 6: Completing the active cast of Serene Breeze guarantees that Winter will not be rolled.

Mystic Skill Optimizations

1. Added a new Enlightenment branch effect Dark Scorch to Mystic Skill Dragon's Breath. Selecting this branch replaces the Combustion debuff with Dark Scorch. Multiple Dark Scorch debuffs from different players can coexist on a single target independently. This resolves the limitation where only one Wanderer in a team could benefit from the Combustion damage bonus.
2. When Mystic Skill Drunken Poet reaches Tier 3, the applied Alcoholic Breath effect will trigger a more violent explosion (dealing increased damage) when hitting a target afflicted by the caster's own Dark Scorch. This will not extend the duration of Dark Scorch. If both Combustion and the caster's Dark Scorch are present on the target, the Dark Scorch explosion takes priority.

Path: Bellstrike - Splendor

1. Optimized the continuous casting experience for Martial Art Nameless Sword skills: Charged Skill Vagrant Sword, Martial Art Skill Daunting Strike and Relentless Chase will now chain much more smoothly under high-latency conditions in Online Mode Boss and Boss Dummy.
2. Damage falloff has been removed when a single instance of Sword Energy of Martial Art Nameless Sword hits multiple non-player units, significantly strengthening its AoE clearing capabilities against groups of enemies.

Path: Bellstrike - Umbra

1. Adjusted the DoT Enhancement talent for Martial Art Heavenquaker Spear: The duration of the Soul-Shaken debuff has been increased from 15 seconds to 18 seconds. Furthermore, the DoT vulnerability effect is now split into a base buff and an extra buff; the full buff is only granted if the damage source is actively using Strategic Sword or Heavenquaker Spear.
2. Adjusted the effect of Tier 6 Inner Way Wolfchaser's Art: Martial Art Skill Sober Sorrow now inflicts a stack of Soul-Shaken upon hitting any unit, removing the prerequisite that the target must already be Soul-Shaken. This simplifies the rotation and lowers the threshold for applying the debuff in Arena. Additionally, the consecutive strikes required for the Wine Gu effect have been reduced from 5 hits within 3 seconds to just 3 hits, and continuing the combo will refresh its duration.
3. Adjusted the base effect of Martial Art Strategic Sword: Bleeding and High Bleeding now inflict baseline Qi damage. If the target is afflicted with the Soul-Shaken status from Heavenquaker Spear, this Qi damage is further amplified. This adjustment aims to unify DoT Qi damage expectations while preserving the unique synergy between Strategic Sword and Heavenquaker Spear.
4. Supplemented the Tier 3 effect for Inner Way Sword Horizon: When hitting non-player units with a guaranteed-Affinity High Bleeding (triggered after maxing out Sword's Zenith), it will extend the remaining duration of your own active DoT effects by 10 seconds (up to a maximum of 16 seconds). Extendable effects include Bleed from Martial Art Strategic Sword, Dark Scorch from Mystic Skill Dragon's Breath, Qingyi's Poison from Inner Way Bitter Seasons, and Weeping Blood from Fivefold Bleed.

Path: Silkbind - Jade

1. Adjusted the Attuning effect for Martial Art Vernal Umbrella: For the newly unlocked Tier 96 gear, the Vernal Umbrella Special Skill DMG Boost and Vernal Umbrella Charged Skill DMG Boost will be merged into Vernal Umbrella Frequent Ballistic DMG Boost. This covers both Special Skill Unfading Flower and Light Attack Charged Skill Spring Away, increasing freedom of skill selection and reducing development costs for multiple strategies. To balance the total number of Attuning affixes, Vernal Umbrella Light/Heavy Attack & Varied Combo DMG Boost has been added. For Tier 91 gear, relaying will automatically merge the old affixes, taking the higher value of the two. 2. Adjusted the Ballistic Skill Enhancement talent for Martial Art Vernal Umbrella: The Blossoms Point refund condition for Special Skill Unfading Flower has been changed from hitting Immobilized or Airborne units to hitting Immobilized/Airborne Non-Boss units, or Exhausted Boss units. This ensures players receive consistent resource returns during dungeon Boss encounters. 3. The Talent effect will now apply to all projectile skills. A new effect has been added to ignore 5 Physical Resistance for all damage dealt, while the Physical Resistance ignored when hitting Immobilized or Airborne targets has been reduced to 15. 4. Adjusted the effects of Inner Way Blossom Barrage: The Tier 5 buff has been changed from Critical DMG Bonus to Direct Critical Rate; For Tier 4, when Light Attack Charged Skill Spring Away and Special Skill Unfading Flower hit targets marked by your Combo debuff in non-Arena modes, they deal 5% more damage (increased to 10% if the target is Exhausted). This creates a more balanced damage profile.

Silkbind - Deluge

1. Supplemented the Mystic Skill DMG Boost base effect for Martial Art Panacea Fan: If Martial Art Soulshade Umbrella is also equipped, the Mystic Skill is guaranteed never to trigger an abrasion (Abrasion is converted to normal damage, without affecting Precision/Critical checks). This greatly optimizes the Open World combat experience for dedicated Healer players.

Path: Stonesplit - Might

1. Adjusted the Charge Calculation Enhancement Talent for Martial Art Thundercry Blade: The conversion cap that turns Max HP into Max Physical Attack during skill resolution has been changed. Instead of a fixed 120-point cap, the limit now scales with the Martial Arts Breakthrough level to better match character progression.
2. Adjusted the Critical Rate UP talent for Martial Art Thundercry Blade: The bonus attribute gained based on the higher value between your Body and Power has been changed from Critical Rate to Max Physical Attack. The talent has been renamed to Physical Attack UP accordingly. This prevents the issue of players overcapping their Effective Critical Rate while tuning their paths.
3. Adjusted Cadence inflicted by Inner Way Exquisite Scenery: The duration has been increased from 15 seconds to 20 seconds, and the maximum stack limit has been increased from 1 to 2. This lowers the difficulty of triggering Special Defensive Riposte and optimizes the flow of the path's rotation.

Stonesplit - Strength

1. Optimized the continuous casting experience for Martial Art Snowparting Blade skills: Light Attack Charged Skill Grave Frost and Heavy Attack Varied Combo Snowbreak Spring will now chain much more smoothly under high-latency conditions in Online Mode Boss and Boss Dummy.
2. Adjusted the Tier 6 effect of Inner Way Frost-Clad Night: Hitting an Exhausted boss with Snowbreak Spring now extends the Dread debuff by 2 seconds.
3. Adjusted the Tier 3 effect of Inner Way Steadfast Devotion: The final effective Critical Rate requirement to trigger a Guaranteed Critical for Burning Heart and Anxi Army Assist has been raised from 70% to 75%.
4. Adjusted the Tier 6 effect of Inner Way Steadfast Devotion: Hitting Exhausted enemies with Burning Heart instantly grants three stacks of Charge Enhancement, and the buff duration is extended to 18 seconds.

Path: Bamboocut - Wind

1. Optimized the continuous casting experience for Martial Art Infernal Twinblades: Light Attacks and Blade of Heaven's Wrath will now chain much more smoothly under high-latency conditions in Online Mode Boss and Boss Dummy.
2. Adjusted the Perfect Dodge Enhancement talent for Martial Art Infernal Twinblades: The duration increase for buffs gained via Perfect Dodges has been boosted from 20% to 40%.
3. Adjusted the Rodent Damage Enhancement talent for Martial Art Mortal Rope Dart: Effect changed from Physical Damage +9%, plus up to 15% based on min Physical Attack to Physical and Bamboocut Damage +9%, plus up to 12% based on min Physical Attack.
4. Supplemented the Bonus Attack Up talent for Martial Art Mortal Rope Dart: Physical Attack and Attribute Attack scaling coefficients for Rodent Rampage will now increase with Martial Arts Breakthrough level.
5. Adjusted the base effect of Inner Way Echoes of Oblivion: Effects triggered by Light Attacks now also ignore 10% of the target's Physical Defense and 10 points of Bamboocut Resistance.

Bamboocut - Dust Path

1. Increased the damage dealt by Heavy Attack Charged Skill Dreamwrought Bubbles of Martial Art Everspring Umbrella against non-player units by 20%.
2. Adjusted the base effect of Inner Way Phantom Rally: Phantom Umbrellas from the Heavy Attack Charged Skill Dreamwrought Bubbles of Martial Art Everspring Umbrella can also trigger Resonance Damage.
3. Adjusted the Tier 1 effect of Inner Way Phantom Rally: Executing continuous Perfect Catches to gain the Fragrant Song buff will now grant an additional stack of Fragrant Song - Delicate. This allows the next Heavy Attack Charged Skill Dreamwrought Bubbles to be cast instantly without charging (stacks up to 4 times), providing a viable ranged filler option.

Arena Network Optimizations

1. Implemented a new hit-validation reverse system targeting attackers with high latency. If the server verifies that the defender was in a dodge invulnerability state at the time of the strike, the damage will be successfully negated.
2. Fixed an issue where Martial Art Skill Spring Sorrow of Martial Art Vernal Umbrella suffered from delayed hit registrations due to attacker latency. Furthermore, when a low-latency attacker successfully hits a high-latency defender who has already moved locally, the defender will now be pulled back to their actual server position.
3. Fixed an issue where casting Heavy Attack Varied Combo Snowbreak Spring of Martial Art Snowparting Blade could cause the attacker to appear to teleport from the defender's perspective due to high latency. Additionally, fixed a bug where interrupting a defender mid-displacement skill could cause the defender to teleport erratically from the attacker's perspective.

Arena Experience Optimizations

1. In Arena mode, entering a Sprint without dodging first will now incur a slight delay before Dash Skills can be used.
2. Dash skills with Melee weapons have been sped up to reduce performance disparities between Melee weapons.
3. Optimized the continuous Deflection experience against rapid multi-hit attacks; quickly tapping the Deflect button triggers consecutive Deflections more reliably.
4. Stages 2, 3, and 4 of Weapon - Sword's Light Attack execute faster. The Interrupt points for Stages 2 and 3 are earlier, and a new hit-frame was added to Stage 3 to ensure stable linkage to subsequent Light Attacks.
5. The interrupt point for the 2nd Light Attack of Weapon - Spear is earlier to ensure stable linkage to subsequent Light Attacks. The final strike of the Stage 4 Light Attack now knocks enemies back instead of knocking them up.
6. Adjusted the Special Skill Shadow Step of Martial Art Nameless Sword: The Stage 2 dash deals no damage during startup, but features improved target-tracking and an earlier interrupt point.
7. Adjusted the Bleed Mechanism Enhancement talent for Martial Art Strategic Sword: The stagger duration caused by High Bleeding is increased.
8. For Martial Art Heavenquaker Spear, the Charged Skill Drifting Thrust Tier 1 charge triggers earlier. Tenacity is now granted upon reaching Tier 1 charge, not immediately upon entering the Charging Stance.
9. Adjusted the charging for Heavy Attack Charged Skill Glow & Flow of Martial Art Inkwell Fan: The charge is split into two tiers. Tier 1 casts quickly with a shorter pull; Tier 2 retains the original range and timing. The Endurance Cost for charging is updated accordingly.
10. Adjusted the Light Attack, Heavy Attack, and Dual-Weapon Skill of Soulshade Umbrella in the Hidden Sword State to perfectly match the performance of Nameless Sword or Strategic Sword.
11. For Martial Art Soulshade Umbrella in the Hidden Sword state, when Panacea Fan and Soulshade Umbrella are both equipped, replace the Charged Skill with Hidden Sword - Dash. After a brief charge, consume Dew to dash forward and damage enemies ahead.
12. Improved the pulling by Heavy Attack Charged Skill Avalanche Landslide of Martial Art Thundercry Blade, and increased the Endurance cost while charging both Avalanche and Light Attack Charged Skill Galecloud Cleave.
13. Greatly improved the pulling by Heavy Attack Varied Combo Stonebreaker of Martial Art Thundercry Blade and fixed an issue where Stonebreaker could still knock down enemies even if they successfully deflected it.
14. While the Drumbeat or Breakthrough buffs are active for Martial Art Thundercry Blade, pressing Heavy Attack will instantly cast the Stage 3 strike. The damage dealt by Stage 3 of Heavy Attack has also been increased.
15. While casting Special Skill Sunrush Gale of Martial Art Thundercry Blade, a stacking Slow Down effect is applied to the nearest target every 0.5 seconds. Upon completion, the caster receives a brief, explosive Movement Speed buff.
16. Adjusted the trigger conditions for the Drumbeat buff and own DMG Reduction Effect granted by Martial Art Skill Storm Roar of Martial Art Stormbreaker Spear: These effects now strictly require Martial Art Thundercry Blade to be equipped simultaneously. Additionally, the damage registration of Storm Roar occurs slightly earlier to better sync with its animation and VFX.
17. If Martial Art Thundercry Blade is not equipped, the amount of Battle Will recovered from a successful defense by Martial Art Stormbreaker Spear is reduced.
18. For Disc Stonesplit - Might Arena Attuning, when the Attuning effect of Martial Art Skill - Predator's Shield is triggered, players can now immediately cast other skills to chain strikes. The interrupt priority of the stagger caused by this Attuning effect has also been fixed to match other Martial Art Skills, vastly improving chain strike stability after the Attuning trigger.
19. Adjusted the interrupt point for dodge following a successful Deflection for Martial Art Snowparting Blade: It is no longer instantaneous and now requires a brief delay before the dodge can be executed.
20. Adjusted the mechanic that stores your current Light Attack Hit Count upon dodging by Martial Art Infernal Twinblades: The stored duration has been reduced from permanent to 3 seconds, and it will instantly clear upon switching weapons. A new status icon has been added to display the currently stored Light Attack Hit Count for Infernal Twinblades.
21. Adjusted the Continuous Deflection detection for Martial Art Skill Addled Mind of Martial Art Infernal Twinblades: The maximum number of times this skill can be continuously deflected has been reduced from 6 down to 3.
22. When Infernal Twinblades and Mortal Rope Dart are both equipped, having the Rodent Rampage buff active will reduce the Qi damage taken by 30% whenever your attacks are deflected by an opponent.
23. Adjusted the overall performance of the Stage 2 consecutive kicks by Martial Art Skill Bladebound Thread of Martial Art Mortal Rope Dart: The animation speed is faster, and pulling is improved. The damage registration for the first kick is slightly delayed, the final strike now knocks back player targets, and the skill interrupt point has been moved up.
24. Adjusted the timing for gaining Tenacity by Charged Skill Rodent's Resilience of Martial Art Mortal Rope Dart: It is no longer granted immediately, but rather 0.5 seconds after entering the Charging Stance.
25. Pressing Special Skill Cyclone Waltz of Martial Art Everspring Umbrella again while spinning will instantly deal one instance of damage to surrounding enemies, allowing for faster combo follow-ups.
26. Slightly increased the Stagger by Martial Art Skill Scarlet Spin of Martial Art Everspring Umbrella in the case of non-Perfect Catch.
27. Special Skill Burn and Bury of Martial Art Unfettered Rope Dart is now unblockable. A golden flash indicator has been added to warn opponents.
28. Adjusted the timing for gaining Tenacity by Charged Skill Piercing Dart of Martial Art Unfettered Rope Dart: It is now granted 0.5 seconds after entering the Charging Stance, rather than immediately.
29. When Mystic Skill Guardian Palm is cast on the ground, its pulling capabilities and the attack range of the first two palm stri

[Path Balance Adjustments]

These path experience and balance improvements are based on real-time data and player feedback. While ensuring the stability of the path experience, we have focused our adjustments on paths whose data performance fell short of expectations and where gameplay experience still had room for improvement. At the same time, we have targeted core pain points that Wanderers heavily reported as significantly affecting the experience, alongside adjusting the balance of certain gameplay modes.

We invite you to keep sharing your thoughts with us. We are listening closely and will continue to refine the development, paths, and competitive gameplay and balance with care in future versions.

2. Inner Way "Wolfchaser's Art": Adjusted the 4th Realm effect. When Special Skill "Sweep All" deals High Bleeding damage, it will immediately restore 20 Endurance to the caster.
3. Martial Art "Strategic Sword": The Endurance consumed for charging Charged Skill "Second Track Slash" is reduced if the caster currently has the Water Drop, Spring Surge, River Flow, or Empowered River Flow effects.
4. Martial Art "Vernal Umbrella": In Wandering Paths Modes "Hero's Realm" and "Sword Trial", casting Martial Art Skill "Spring Sorrow" grants the caster Tenacity.

10. In Wandering Paths Mode "Arena", each time you enter a defensive stance, and for every 0.5 seconds you maintain it, you gain one stack of "Depleting Defense" effect.

Additionally, when exceeding 6 stacks, stacks 6 through 10 will deduct 1/2/3/4/5 points of Endurance every 0.4 seconds, respectively.

Additionally, when exceeding 6 stacks, stacks 6 through 10 will deduct 1/2/3/4/5 points of Endurance every 0.4 seconds, respectively.
11. Wandering Paths Mode "Arena": Adjusted the Endurance mechanics related to bows. Firing an arrow will now immediately consume a portion of Endurance. You cannot shoot if you have insufficient Endurance.

[Path Balance Adjustments]

These path experience and balance improvements are based on real-time data and player feedback. While ensuring the stability of the path experience, we have focused our adjustments on paths whose data performance fell short of expectations and where gameplay experience still had room for improvement. At the same time, we have targeted core pain points that Wanderers heavily reported as significantly affecting the experience, alongside adjusting the balance of certain gameplay modes.

We invite you to keep sharing your thoughts with us. We are listening closely and will continue to refine the development, paths, and competitive gameplay and balance with care in future versions.

1. Martial Art "Nameless Spear": Adjusted the applied "Qi Imbalance" effect. During the effect's duration, if the target becomes Exhausted, all HP damage taken is increased by 8%, and Bellstrike damage taken is increased by an additional 8%.
2. Inner Way "Wolfchaser's Art": Adjusted the 4th Realm effect. When Special Skill "Sweep All" deals High Bleeding damage, it will immediately restore 20 Endurance to the caster.
3. Martial Art "Strategic Sword": The Endurance consumed for charging Charged Skill "Second Track Slash" is reduced if the caster currently has the Water Drop, Spring Surge, River Flow, or Empowered River Flow effects.
4. Martial Art "Vernal Umbrella": In Wandering Paths Modes "Hero's Realm" and "Sword Trial", casting Martial Art Skill "Spring Sorrow" grants the caster Tenacity.
5. Martial Art "Vernal Umbrella": In Wandering Paths Modes "Hero's Realm" and "Sword Trial", Special Skill "Unfading Flower" grants the caster Tenacity during umbrella-tossing.
6. Set "Veil of the Willow": Its buff is changed from 12% increase in HP damage to a 10% increase in Physical and Silkbind damage.
7. Martial Art "Panacea Fan": Adjusted the "Silkbind Attribute Boost" talent, increasing both "Silkbind Heal Bonus" and "Silkbind DMG Bonus" based on your "Minimum Silkbind Attack", with the scaling multipliers and caps remaining unchanged.
8. Set "Swallowcall": Additional DMG Boost and effect changed to dealing an additional 6% Physical and Bamboocut damage to targets with Qi below 40% or in an "Abnormal Qi State" (including "Bone Corrosion" and "Qi Imbalance").
9. Martial Art "Infernal Twinblades": Burst Skill "Flamelash" cannot be interrupted during its casting.
10. In Wandering Paths Mode "Arena", each time you enter a defensive stance, and for every 0.5 seconds you maintain it, you gain one stack of "Depleting Defense" effect. It lasts for 1.5 seconds and stacks up to 10 times. Stacks 1 through 10 increase Endurance consumption by 1%/2%/3%/5%/7%/10%/20%/40%/60%/120%, respectively. Additionally, when exceeding 6 stacks, stacks 6 through 10 will deduct 1/2/3/4/5 points of Endurance every 0.4 seconds, respectively.

Greetings, Wanderers!

The journey through the Jianghu is fraught with endless battles and challenges. Lately, we've explored new regions and stories together. But in this update, we want to show you a different side of the world.

We're introducing a place you can build from scratch, adorable cat and goose companions, and a rather chaotic goose-led adventure.

Before the official update notes arrive, we wanted to use this Q&A to chat about the cozy, slice-of-life features waiting for you.

Q1: How does rebuilding the Homestead work when returning to Qinghe?

You'll return to Qinghe as the Young Master to restore Blissful Retreat.

This isn't just about placing a few pieces of furniture in a courtyard. It's an entirely new lifestyle. You can run your own businesses, like an inn, a porcelain kiln, or a brewery. You can even recruit villagers and animals as Retainers, putting their unique talents to work as you bring Blissful Retreat back to life.

This update also introduces "Beyond Mundane", a standalone Homestead zone.

Think of it as your private sanctuary, completely separate from the open world. Here, you have absolute freedom to build and decorate. There are no fixed rules. Whether you envision a quiet hideaway, a bustling street, a waterside courtyard, or something wildly imaginative, you can shape this space exactly as you desire.

Q2: What can we expect from the Companion system? Is it just a pet that follows you around?

Traveling the Jianghu can be a lonely journey. But starting with this update, you won't have to face it alone.

The Companion system lets you cross paths with Maverick, Scar, and Pudding, with a whole flock of goose companions following close behind.

Once they join your side, caring for them is part of the fun. You can play, chat, share meals, and snap photos together. Every interaction impacts their mood and well-being. Over time, these little everyday moments will blossom into a genuine Bond.

Your Companions are more than just followers. They actively engage with the world around them. You might catch them pausing to watch a butterfly or a darting fish. They'll even react uniquely to dynamic weather like scorching heat, heavy rain, sandstorms, or snow.

As your Bond grows, you'll unlock new interactions, emotes, and exclusive rewards. Ultimately, our goal wasn't just to give you a pet. We wanted those quiet moments of companionship to evolve into a living, breathing connection that truly responds to you.

Q3: "Phantom Thief Goose" sounds absolutely ridiculous. What exactly is it?

It is completely ridiculous, and that's exactly why we can't wait for you to play it.

In the limited-time event "Phantom Thief Goose", you play as Goose Bobo. After passing a trial from the Goose Emperor, you'll infiltrate Heaven's Pier to stir up some chaos. No heroics, no codes of honor. Just a goose with a plan, a lot of nerve, and absolutely no chill.

Of course, the villagers won't just hand their valuables over, and the patrolling constables and martial artists aren't going to look the other way. Play it patient and tactical, or go full goose and hit fast. The choice is yours.

Luckily, Goose Bobo has a few tricks up its sleeve. Honking, pecking, and bush ambushes might sound like a joke, but in Bobo's hands (or wings), they're the most effective tactics in Qinghe.

Once you successfully secure the treasure at a stash, you can trade the Goose Feathers earned from the Goose Emperor for a variety of rewards!

Q4: Besides the Homestead, Companions, and "Phantom Thief Goose", what else is coming in this update?

If Homestead, Companions, and Phantom Thief Goose are the cozy side of this update, we've also got content for players who want something with a bit more edge, including a new tomb-raiding mode and multiplayer challenges that demand real teamwork.

Tomb of Fortune drops you into an ancient tomb where eerie dungeon exploration meets competitive PvP. There's treasure in those coffins, but so is the dark humor of "grave goods and good fortune." Just remember: if you want to walk away with the best treasures, watch your back for other Wanderers lurking in the shadows.

Looking for a serious PvE challenge? Ravening Banes is a 10-player mode unlocked at Lv. 91. Join via auto-match or bring your own crew through Wandering Paths. Take down the boss and you're in with a chance at exclusive Appearances, including the Decoration "Gatekeeper Stele" and the Accessory "Sweep the Heavens."

Martial Path Domain puts five-player coordination to the test across Normal and Hard modes. Navigate shifting Mist effects floor by floor, collect Martial Spirit to power your team up, and push as deep as you can. Guild Skyward Bond is also opening up Hard and Abyss difficulty tiers. If you live for the climb, there's more ceiling to break through.

More events are still on the way. Whether you want to build at your own pace back home, take in the scenery with your Companions, go tomb-hunting, or run dungeons with friends, this update is built to give you room to play your way.

The Jianghu will always be there, pulling you forward. But before you answer that call again, take a moment. Head home. Fix up the courtyard. Pet the cats, walk the goose, and simply listen to Blissful Retreat coming back to life.

We'll be reading all your feedback once the update goes live. We can't wait to see your Homestead designs, Companion screenshots, and the "glorious exploits" of a certain Phantom Thief Goose.

See you in Qinghe!

Dear Wanderer,

Eastwind Pavilion will undergo a live maintenance update from 05:00 to 12:00 (UTC+8) on May 28, 2026. You can still log in and play normally during this period, but certain features and gameplay modes will be temporarily unavailable. The update schedule may be adjusted based on actual conditions, so please plan your game progress accordingly. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Here are the details of the new version brought to you from Eastwind Pavilion by Windtail. Please take a look!

Development

1. Added "Path Tutorial" to the "Path Guide" feature. Wanderers can practice skills in tutorial stages to quickly experience the martial art features, unique skills, and basic combos of each Path, lowering the learning curve for new Paths. Custom combo recording will be available in future updates, allowing Wanderers to record, practice, and share their own combos.

2. Added the "A Journey into Jianghu" feature to the "Improvement Guide - Bound for the World" interface for clearer development guidance. A "Quick Enhance" entrance has also been added to display relevant upgrade materials and provide an auto-purchase function for Wanderer convenience.

3. Optimized the "Auto-Recycle Gear" feature. Synchronized the "Gear Slot" filter to work with existing "Tier", "Rarity", "Initial Attribute Type", and "Initial Attribute Quality" filters for highly customized auto-recycle plans.

4. Reduced the Coin cost for "Martial Art Reset". Resetting will now return 100% of the Coins spent on upgrading. Unreturned Coins spent on resetting martial arts between the start of Season 3: Seek Within and this update will be fully compensated. Due to the large number of Wanderers and currency involved, the compensation will be sent via mail after verification. Please be patient.

5. Reduced the Echo Jade cost for "Inner Way Conversion". After free attempts run out, each conversion will cost Echo Jade ×500. The price difference for conversions made between the start of Season 3: Seek Within and this update will be compensated. Due to the large number of Wanderers and currency involved, the compensation will be sent via mail after verification. Please be patient.

6. Adjusted the usable scenarios for Scroll & Script items. They can no longer be used in combat, making them consistent with food.

7. Added a new effect to the Tier 6 General Inner Way "Sandswirl Tail": When Wanderers are in Qinchuan under the Breeze form, gathering has a chance to yield double rewards.

8. Optimized the gear set switch experience. When completing a set switch, if you are wearing gear from the same set, a quick switch prompt will appear, allowing a quick set switch.

9. Optimized the gear attunement switch experience. When completing an attunement type switch (e.g., from Normal Attunement to Arena Attunement), a quick switch prompt will appear, allowing a quick switch for the attunement types of all equipped gear.

10. Optimized gear replacement in the "Development Plan" feature. When the replaced gear exists in other plans, a "Batch Replace" prompt will trigger, allowing you to choose whether to replace it across specific plans. Swapping main/secondary weapons or changing to a different weapon type will not trigger this.

11. Optimized the sorting rules for Energy gameplay rewards, such as "Campaign", "Outpost", and "Joint Battle". Also optimized the settlement display when "Auto-Recycle Gear" is enabled, showing the gear and Recycled materials separately.

12. Added a secondary confirmation prompt when recycling gear saved in a "Development Plan".

13. Optimized the gear recycle experience. Added an "Gear Slot" filter, supporting single or multiple slots. "Weapon" can be specified by exact type.

Wandering Paths

1. Added a trial function for "Mystic Skill - Custom Branch" in Level Adjustment modes. Wanderers can now experience locked Mystic Skill branches in "Arena - Group Strategy" and "Arena - 3v3 Arena".

2. Arena - 3v3 Arena adjustments: Added a revive mechanism. In matches without any healer, players get one revive opportunity. You can revive a fallen teammate within 10 meters for 15 seconds after they fall. A successfully revived teammate gains a temporary Physical Attack boost. In matches with healers, the Perception Skill "Resurrection" from "Panacea Fan" can only be used once (the Tier 6 effect of "Royal Remedy" is unaffected). In the new season, the score obtained from "Arena - 3v3 Arena" will increase by 20%. Additionally, Slot Leveling will clear the previous season's Arena Attunement plans, requiring Wanderers to reconfigure them.

3. Optimized the event boss marks in "Arena - Perception Forest" to distinguish them from default map boss marks.

4. Added teammate tracking marks in "Arena - Perception Forest" that appear when teammates are out of sight.

5. Optimized grave spawn locations in "Arena - Perception Forest". If a Wanderer is defeated mid-air, their grave will spawn on the ground below.

6. Optimized the poison zone damage mechanics in "Arena - Perception Forest". Damage taken inside the zone will gradually increase over time.

7. Added a weekly limit display for Sin Leaf in the "Arena - Perception Forest" interface.

8. Optimized the "Duel Arena" experience in Perception Forest: Improved overall rewards, increased preparation time for multiplayer, and reduced the quest difficulty when multiplayer challenges fail. Leaving the "Duel Arena" to return to Perception Forest grants temporary Invincibility (which ends upon landing a hit on any target).

9. Optimized Rank Score settlement in Perception Forest: Increased the efficiency of gaining Rank Score for Solo and Duo matches at the Mythic rank and above.

10. Optimized information display in certain Arena interfaces. Added usage info for Bonus Talismans and Saver Talismans in the "Records" interface. Added "Martial Art Path" and "Win Streak/Streak Ended" info in the "Match Details" interface.

11. Optimized "Arena - Group Strategy", now allowing the use of emotes during matches.

12. Optimized the sync of movement skills in "Arena - Group Strategy" and "Arena - 5v5 Arena".

13. Optimized the match experience in "Arena - Group Strategy" by playing background music during the preparation and combat phases.

14. Added a martial art limit in "Arena - 3v3 Arena". The same martial art cannot appear more than twice in a team.

15. Optimized the score settlement logic in "Arena - 1v1 Arena". Defeating strong opponents will now grant extra points.

16. Optimized scene performance in Arena modes.

17. Optimized the appearance of AI enemies in Arena modes.

18. Optimized the Arena match experience. Guild event prompts will no longer pop up during an active match.

19. Increased the maximum number of scene marks in "Hero's Realm" and "Sword Trial" to 9.

20. Optimized leaderboard displays in "Hero's Realm" and "Sword Trial".

21. Optimized the speedrun experience in "Hero's Realm" and "Sword Trial". If an already ranked team with unchanged members achieves a better clear time, their score and rank will auto-update without consuming a rank attempt. Expanded the "Sword Trial - Speedrun Leaderboard" to 750 teams. Adjusted the weekly rank attempts for Wanderers to 4. Optimized the logic for detecting abnormal characters on the leaderboards.

22. Optimized the "Smart Combat Assist" experience in "Hero's Realm" and "Sword Trial". Damage taken by Wanderers is significantly reduced. Wanderers will no longer lose gear durability when defeated and will not be defeated again for 30 seconds after being revived.

23. Optimized the default lock-on camera settings for Boss fights in "Hero's Realm" and "Sword Trial". The "Fixed Pitch Angle" lock-on mode is now used by default, preventing the camera from tilting up and down with the Boss's vertical movements.

24. Added a custom size feature for overhead marks in "Hero's Realm" and "Sword Trial". This can be adjusted under "Settings - Game - Combat Mark - Overhead Mark Customization".

25. Optimized the designated tank rules in "Hero's Realm" and "Sword Trial". Wanderers equipped with "Nameless Sword" and similar martial arts will not be designated as tanks. For specific melee martial arts (like "Stonesplit - Strength" + "Stonesplit - Strength"), you can select the tank role directly in the matchmaking interface based on your current build.

26. Optimized the display adaptation of "Online Mode", "Wandering Paths", and "Profession" interfaces on special screens.

27. Optimized camera adaptation for the "Landlords" gameplay.

Guild Optimization

1. Added permission detail descriptions when assigning roles in "Guild Admin" to help quickly understand what each permission does.

2. Added the display of Martial Art Paths in the "Guild Roster" interface.

Guild War Optimization

1. Command Skills: Added a "Quick Operation" mode for Guild War Command Skills. This operation mode will no longer interrupt Wanderers during combat.

2. Tracking Distance: Fixed tracking distance calculation errors for carrying the Fortune Tree in the Guild War and in certain other scenarios.

3. Optimized the display of trigger intervals for unlocked effects (e.g., Guarding Qi Core) after upgrading "Breaking Army" and "Trial" related Guild Techniques. These effects will now have a special status bar appearance while on cooldown.

4. Adjusted the buff effects of the Guild War "Halftime Show". Upon entering the Halftime Show, the initial DMG Bonus has been adjusted from 60% to 0%. The additional 30% DMG Bonus gained every 30 seconds remains unchanged.

5. Optimized the range of the Guild mode "Showdown" to avoid affecting other Wanderers.

6. Optimized the broadcast prompt for the "Ignore Interception" Command Skill in the Guild War. The broadcast will now be sent to both opposing sides.

7. Optimized the experience of Guild War-related Attribute Attack Bonus skills in Guild Techniques, allowing them to take effect on Formless Attacks.

Guild War League Rank Attribute Adjustments

Balance adjustments will be applied based on the Guild's League Rank:

Divinarche: Max HP of the Bulwark and neutral bosses Zhang Bao and Zhuxie Gule is reduced by 25%. Max HP and attack of neutral monsters and Gosse are reduced by 25%.

Stealth Jester: Max HP of the Bulwark and neutral bosses Zhang Bao and Zhuxie Gule is reduced by 75%. Max HP and attack of neutral monsters and Gosse are reduced by 75%.

Guild War Pacing Adjustments

2. In the Guild War, the Perception Skill "Resurrection" of Panacea Fan cannot continuously revive the same Defeated teammate. A Wanderer revived by Resurrection cannot be revived again within 60 seconds.

3. Increased the attributes of the Guild War Bulwark. The Bulwark will now stack a DMG Reduction effect based on the total number of nearby allies and enemies, up to 15 stacks. Breaking the Bulwark will apply a stronger attribute reduction effect to the enemy's Goose.

5. Reduced Qi Damage taken in the Guild War by 50%.

2. Enhanced the cast effect of the technique "Nameless Sword: EX". At Lv.3, the amount of Qi restored to allies is increased from 40 to 60.

3. Enhanced the cast effect of the technique "Strategic Sword: EX". The Sword Horizon area generated upon casting is expanded. Sword Energy damage within the area can now detonate targets with 5 stacks of Bleeding, dealing High Bleeding damage. Optimized its casting experience so that the Wanderer is no longer blocked by enemies when dashing forward to unleash the Sword Energy area.

4. Adjusted the cast effect of the technique "Heavenquaker Spear: EX", allowing it to accumulate two uses. Fixed an issue where hitting an enemy incorrectly caused a knock-up effect, correcting it to an Airborne effect to match its description.

5. Enhanced the cast effect of the technique "Stormbreaker Spear: EX". The self DMG Reduction effect applied after casting is increased from 60% to 75%.

6. Enhanced the cast effect of the technique "Vernal Umbrella: EX". Each stack of the Build Momentum effect after casting will now also increase the user's Ballistic Skill DMG by 10%, up to 5 stacks.

12. Adjusted the cast effect of the technique "Phalanxbane Blade: EX". The downward strike damage from the Mo Blade Anxi Soldier generated after casting is increased, and the strike now inflicts an Airborne effect. Accordingly, the downward strike trigger interval is increased from 0.8s to 1.2s, and the total number of triggers at Lv.1 is reduced from 16 to 10. At Lv.3, the Endurance drained by the downward strike is increased from 20 to 30.

When Sound Jades are insufficient but you have Harmonic Cores, you can choose to consume Harmonic Cores to offset the Sound Jade cost in the secondary confirmation pop-up. This eliminates the need to separately exchange for a Sound Jade Giftbox first.

4. After the update, a "Featured" tab will be added to the Shop interface, and items will be moved under this tab. Additionally, a "Packs" tab will be added, where the Discount Voucher Value Pack will be available.

5. Collect 5 and 7 Weapon Appearances from the Roaring Waves series to unlock a matching Nameplate and Chat Bubble! (Note: The Nameplate and Chat Bubble for the Formless Silence series are currently in the works and will drop in a future update.)

Upcoming Arena Matchmaking Optimizations

Greetings, Wanderers,

We've noticed that some of you are experiencing high latency and poor performance during cross-server matches in the Arena. To address this, we will be optimizing our matchmaking rules this week. Here are the details:

1. Priority Matching Within Your Battlegroup

The system will now prioritize matching you with other players from your own server within the same Battlegroup. This is intended to reduce latency and improve match stability. If a suitable opponent isn't found on your server, the search will then expand to other servers within your Battlegroup.

For example: HK/Macau/Taiwan server players will be matched with HK/Macau/Taiwan players first; US East with US East; US West with US West.

2. Server Assignment for Cross-Region Matches

If your physical location is different from your selected Battlegroup's region (e.g., an Asian player choosing a US Battlegroup) and you are matched with a US player, the match will be hosted on the US player's server.

We will continue to closely monitor latency and optimize the matchmaking experience. We encourage all Wanderers to report any lag or stuttering you encounter via our official channels. Tackling latency is a long-term commitment, but we are dedicated to making steady progress. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Based on real-time data and player feedback, this update focuses on addressing the core pain points that affect your daily experience. We have also made targeted adjustments to specific mode mechanics to ensure a smoother journey for all Wanderers.

We invite you to keep sharing your thoughts with us. We are listening closely and will continue to refine the progression experience with care in future versions.

Here are the details of the upcoming optimizations:

Ⅰ. "Relaying" & "Modulating"

1. "Relaying": Inheriting attributes from low to high-tier gear.

"Relaying Stone: Vanguard" can transform Tier 86 non-retroactive "Gear" into Tier 91 "Relaid Gear". "Relaying Stone: Vanguard" can be obtained through Solo Mode level breakthroughs, Season Shop, and Engagement Realm rewards. "Relaying" brings the following enhancements: the gear is upgrade to Tier 91 (cannot be put in the Tier 86 Arsenal anymore), together with boost to base attributes and 2-piece effects; set types and Attuning attribute type & value retains (including historical Attuning attributes), with increased attribute cap; switch and "Re-attuning" are unlocked; and initial and Tuned attributes retain their types and values while gaining higher potential caps.

2. "Modulating": Specialized boost to inherited attributes for Relaid Gear.

"Relaid Gear" can only be enhanced via "Modulating", instead of "Tuning" or "Retuning." Before "Modulating", select a specific attribute and consume one Legendary Tier 91 gear with completed tuning to increase that attribute's value. The increase depends solely on how well the attributes match, regardless of quality. After "Relaying," "Gear Echo: Vanguard" and "Tuning Stone: Vanguard" equivalent to the recycled price of the Legendary gear will be returned. All "Relaid Gear" attributes can be raised to a fixed cap through "Modulating" (slightly lower than standard Tier 91 gear), independent of their pre-Relaying values.

3. Attribute Inheritance for Same-Tier Gear.

In the upcoming season, "Relaying Stone: Vanguard" can not only convert Tier 86 non-retroactive "Gear" into Tier 91 "Relaid Gear", but also turn eligible Tier 91 "Gear" into "Relaid Gear." This preserves the gear tier, basic attributes, set, and Attuning attributes while unlocking "Modulating" development, with the same cap as other "Relaid Gear." Any Tuning values exceeding the Modulating cap will be removed upon conversion.

After the update, you can check the Gear Relaying interface for more information.

Ⅱ. Gear Tuning & Retuning Optimizations

1. Easier Tuning Material Acquisition: "Legendary Melodic Stone" of all tiers can now be obtained through "Craft," consuming 3 "Epic Melodic Stones" of the same tier.

2. More Tuning Materials Offered: In any "Energy" Challenge modes, every 60 "Energy" consumed grants one additional random-quality "Melodic Stone."

3. Optimized Initial Attributes for Tier 91 "Defense" Gear: We have lowered the drop probability for "Max HP", "Physical Defense", and "Body", and increased the probability for "Precision Rate", "Critical Rate", "Affinity Rate", and "Power" based on player preferences.

4. Optimized Tuning Attributes: The "All Martial Arts Boost" attribute in the "Ring/Amulet - Tuning Library" of all tiers has been renamed to "All Martial Arts Enhancement," making it effective for healing paths; "Fan Martial Arts DMG Boost/Healing Boost" and "Umbrella Martial Arts DMG Boost/Healing Boost" in the Tier 91 "Weapon - Attuning Library" will be replaced by "Art of Fan Boost" and "Art of Umbrella Boost" to boost both damage and healing simultaneously.

5. Lower Tuning Cost: Tier 91 Gear Tuning costs fewer coins, allowing for more Tuning attempts and less coin pressure.

6. "Tuning - Quick Add" Function: You can intelligently select materials based on the optimal "Tuning Stone" combination, and only materials and gear are sorted.

7. "Retuning Correction": You can use "Retuning Stone: Vanguard" to Retune a Retuned attribute again for Tier 91 non-Relaid Gear. The system will exclude the current result from the library to ensure a new attribute is rolled. Retuning Correction has a 7-day cooldown, with no limit on total uses.

8. Tuning Attribute Downsizing: All "Minimum Attribute Attack" attributes have been removed from the "Retuning Library" of all tiers, and every path now has a standard library of 6 attributes.

9. "Result Preview": The "Preview" button allows you to view the entire library after selecting the "Retuning Library" or "Re-attuning Library", with unavailable attributes dimmed for better clarity.

Ⅲ. Gear Attuning & Re-attuning Optimizations

1. Optimized Attuning Attributes: "Bellstrike Penetration", "Stonesplit Penetration," "Silkbind Penetration," and "Bamboocut Penetration" in Tier 91 "Offensive Gear - Attuning Library" will be replaced with "Formless Penetration," which automatically adapts to your current Martial Art and enhances corresponding "Attribute Penetration". This ensures that the attribute remains valuable even after using Dual-Weapon Skill.

2. Re-attuning Guarantee System: Tier 91 gear now features a "guarantee" counter. After a set number of Re-attuning, you will gain a "Custom Re-attuning" opportunity, allowing you to choose your desired attribute type for free (the attribute values will still be generated randomly according to standard Re-attuning rules). "Normal Attuning" and "Arena Attunement" have separate counters. Additionally, rolling a duplicate attribute will now provide a more stable and guaranteed value increase.

3. Attuning Swap: By spending a small amount of "Attunement Stones" and "Re-attunement Stones," you can completely exchange the "Normal Attunement" or "Arena Attunement" of a Tier 91 Attuned gear with another Attuned piece of the exact same tier and gear slot. This swap transfers all Attuning attributes of the chosen type, perfectly mirroring them, including the gear's Historical Attuning and Re-attunement guarantee counters.

Ⅳ. Archery Jade Crafting Optimization

Optimized Guarantee System for Tier 91 Legendary Archery Jades: You can now navigate directly to the Craft interface to clearly view their remaining attempts until a guaranteed drop.

Enhanced Crafting Yields for Tier 91 Epic/Legendary Archery Jades: We are introducing three new "2-piece" bonuses. These include the "Plume" set (increases Precision Rate), the "Startling String" set (increases Critical Rate), and the "Pursuing Shadow" set (increases Affinity Rate). These set bonuses require no deep development or investment to unlock; simply equipping two Archery Jade pieces from the identical set will activate the effects immediately.

We hope these optimizations will provide our Rangers with a significantly improved gear development experience. Please keep an eye on future update announcements for even more detailed optimization notes.

Ⅴ. Preview of Pacing Adjustments for Gear Development

To further alleviate the pressure of gear grinding and optimize the seasonal growth experience, future updates to level caps and gear tiers will be synchronized with full-season cycles.

April 30 Update (Start of Season 3, First Half): "Lv.14" is unlocked for Solo Mode, and Character Level cap raises to Lv.95, along with Tier 91 Gear.

Start of Season 3, Second Half: No new level caps or higher-tier gear will be introduced. During this phase, "Lv.15" is unlocked for Solo Mode (providing slight character attribute increases), new levels for "Gear Enhancement" will unlock, and Seasonal "Talents" will receive an update. There will also be a wealth of brand-new gameplay content for Wanderers to explore. However, the character level cap will firmly remain at Lv.95, and Tier 91 gear will continue to be the standard. This adjustment is explicitly designed to resolve the issues of gear lifespans being too short and version shifts occurring too rapidly, ultimately delivering a more stable and relaxing development experience.

For exact schedules, please pay close attention to subsequent official announcements. As always, we warmly welcome all Wanderers to leave their valuable suggestions and feedback.

With the journey to Qinchuan approaching, Eastwind Pavilion presents key optimization updates. To improve the network environment and competitive experience, the following optimizations for Arena and Guild War will be implemented in the April 30 update:

Ⅰ. Arena Mode & Matchmaking Optimization

1. New Arena Battlegroup Divisions The system will now divide the Arena Mode into four regional battlegroups based on server locations: Yougu: US East and US West servers; Yunya: European servers; Canglang: Asia and HK/MO/TW servers; Jiangzhu: Southeast Asia servers. [Battlegroup Interoperability Rules]: Wanderers within the same Battlegroup share matchmaking pools and leaderboards. Event start times for time-limited Arena modes will be synchronized within each battlegroup. Matchmaking pools between different battlegroups remain independent.

2. Smart Allocation & Manual Switching We will offer both smart allocation and manual switching: Smart Allocation: Upon the new season launch or feature update, the system will automatically assign you to a battlegroup based on your primary login server. Manual Switching: Players may manually switch battlegroups via the Arena interface. Costs & Rules: The first switch per half-season is free. The second switch costs Echo Jade ×100, with costs increasing for subsequent switches. Impact: To ensure fair competition, switching battlegroups will reset your current Rank Points and remove you from your previous battlegroup's leaderboard. Claimed rank rewards will be retained and cannot be reclaimed by switching battlegroups.

3. Exclusive Battlegroup Leaderboards Arena leaderboards will be categorized by battlegroup. Each battlegroup will have independent rankings and season settlements. A Battlegroup Filter has been added to the leaderboard UI for easier viewing.

4. Mythic Rank Matchmaking Optimization As our top-tier players continue to climb the ranks, we've noticed that matchmaking quality in high-level lobbies hasn't always met expectations. To address this, we are further optimizing our matchmaking system: For the highest rank, Mythic, we are introducing score-based weighting to ensure players are matched with opponents of similar skill levels. This change aims to provide a more balanced and competitive experience at the top of the ladder. Please note that these optimizations may lead to slightly longer queue times. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Ⅱ. Arena Mode Schedule Adjustments

To better accommodate players across different time zones, we are adjusting the opening hours for certain Arena modes in coordination with the Arena Battlegroup system. Our goal is to ensure more Wanderers can participate at peak local times. Arena Matchmaking Downtime: Please note that Arena matchmaking will be suspended 2 hours before and 1 hour after a mid-season or full-season transition. 1v1 Arena (Open 24/7): Now open 24 hours a day. Wanderers can jump into the fray at any time. 3V3 Arena (Battlegroup-specific times): 15:00 to 02:00 (next day) local Battlegroup time every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Group Strategy (Battlegroup-specific times): 12:00 to 02:00 (next day) local Battlegroup time daily. (Note: Due to global time zone differences, actual start times may vary slightly. Please refer to the in-game schedule panel for the most accurate information.)

Ⅲ. Battlegroup Optimizations & Adjustments

1. New Battlegroups Added: Linhe: US West server Jiangzhu: Southeast Asia server

2. Guild War Schedule Adjustments: To better balance cross-region play and ensure Wanderers can participate at reasonable hours, the Guild War schedule has been adjusted as follows: Canglang (Asia, HK/MO/TW Servers): Sat & Sun @ 20:30 (UTC+8) Yunya (Europe Server): Sat & Sun @ 20:30 (UTC+2) Yougu (US East Server): Sat & Sun @ 20:30 (UTC-4) Linhe (US West Server): Sat & Sun @ 20:30 (UTC-7) Jiangzhu (SEA Server): Sat & Sun @ 20:30 (UTC+8) (Note: Due to global time zone differences, actual start times may vary slightly. Please refer to the in-game schedule panel for the most accurate information.)

In addition to these updates, the new Group Strategy and Training Terrace modes are now live! Players can now enjoy multiplayer tactical combat and custom duel rooms. We hope these changes improve your multiplayer experience. Stay tuned for further update announcements.

While there is still much work to be done, we kindly ask for your patience as we continue to develop this world together with you.

Actions speak louder than words. To address the current issues affecting your experience, our development team is working tirelessly to optimize these concerns. Here are the initial progress we have made:

Regarding multi-character creation, we’re addressing platform restrictions and actively seeking solutions to meet your expectations.

Over the next two months, we will gradually roll out several updates, including Steam Deck compatibility, optimized multi-timezone display, split outfit customization, PS5 Pro support for PSSR, enhanced audio experience, and more.
