II. Progression System Upgrades

  • Accessory RefinementRefinement is now available for accessories, using the same method as standard gear.
  • Wing Refinement: Wings can be refined using specific items.

  • Multi-Attribute Refinement: Supports locking multiple attributes during refinement. To balance the output of top-tier attributes, material consumption increases exponentially for each additional locked attribute (Locking 1/2/3 attributes costs 3/15/75 materials respectively).

  • New DropsAdded a wing refinement item "Magic Feather," obtained via crafting "Orange Accessory + Orange Gem." The Mysterious Crate reward pool has been updated to include "Magic Feather" at a ~1% drop rate.

NOTE ON FUTURE UPDATE CADENCE

Dear players, to provide a more stable gaming experience, we are optimizing our future update cadence. While frequent numerical and gameplay adjustments were intended for balance, we received feedback that rapid changes made progression plans and strategies confusing. Therefore, we have decided:

  1. Daily Maintenance (1.0.x series): Will focus solely on experience optimizations, UI convenience, and known bug fixes to ensure smooth gameplay.

  2. Content Iteration (1.x.0 series): Major adjustments involving talent systems, core combat, etc., will be consolidated into large versions and released only after thorough testing.
