In the Collection System, Gold Coins are used to increase or decrease the appearance rate of items. As the game progresses, more and more items are unlocked in the pool, making it harder to get the ones you want. This feature directly addresses this issue.

However, we have actively integrated innovations into map gameplay, maintained a high update frequency and quality, and carefully listened to player feedback while conducting thorough testing—these are our strengths. We compensate for creative limitations with diligence.

After the official launch, we will continue to actively listen to player suggestions for improvements. You can provide feedback by joining our Discord. If I don’t meet your expectations, you are also welcome to give "passionate" feedback through Steam reviews—I’m an avid internet user and will read all comments and suggestions. As long as the game’s finances remain healthy, we will continue to update map modes, sects, etc., but this cannot be considered a formal promise. Potential players are advised to evaluate the game’s worth based solely on the official version content and the current price, not on future expectations. Regardless of the volume of updates, this game is positioned as a roguelike "power fantasy"—with free build customization and satisfying numerical progression as its core experience. We will never do anything unreasonable like mindlessly nerfing strong builds or overly buffing enemies. Please feel free to dive in!
