removedLunar New Year Login CalendarWe’ve also taken this opportunity to significantly revamp our login calendar mechanic. Not only does it look a bit nicer, it also allows for extra flexibility on the player’s part. The event will run for 20 days with 14 rewards available to claim. Only one reward can be claimed per day, but you’ll have some extra wiggle room in case you miss a day or two! Unlike previously, rewards are now claimed in order, so it is no longer possible to skip over and miss a reward by missing a single day.

Major Changes

Guild Member Finder

Following the Guild Finder change a few months back, we’ve now also updated the Guild Member Finder tool. Beyond simply searching for a specific player, it will now also automatically list a few players that the game thinks could be a good match for your current guild. From there, you can send an invitation. There’s no guarantee they’ll accept, though.

Minor Changes

Increased the character limit for promo codes from 14 to 20.

Optimizations

Another round of optimization has been done. Internal reports show reductions in RAM usage by up to 100 MB on iOS, and up to 200MB on Android and PC. Possible memory leak issues have also been resolved. We still recommend playing on devices with at least 4GB of RAM.

In other news, also optimized other inefficiencies during long play sessions, particularly those that involved trips to the city screen. Something about generating thousands of shoes.

Balance Changes

All Platinum items now have the Ancestor Spirit as their spirit affinity, replacing the Quetzalcoatl.
The Silken Assailants blueprint now requires steel rather than ironwood.
The Owl Wing Wand now has a dual affinity with Water due to its connection with Lilu.
Slightly increased the value of the Platinum Wand.
Platinum Wand upgrades now reduce the Platinum Bangle cost by 1.
