The Bell Echoes · published · build 23702254
Hello everyone!
The Bell Echoes has released the June 12 update patch.
This update primarily focuses on reworking and expanding gem-related systems. We have added 【Ore】 as a new settlement resource, reworked the growth content of the Monastery facility 【Gem Workshop】, and adjusted the visual presentation and selection mechanics of Gem Boxes after clearing Corrupted Zones.
In addition, this update adds a “View Update Log” feature to the main menu, and includes adjustments and fixes to certain Story Mode content, title effects, character skills, and talent effects.
Added 【Ore】 as a Settlement Resource
When a Corrupted Zone run is settled, you will now obtain a corresponding amount of 【Ore】 based on your current equipment and items.
【Ore】 is an important crafting resource used in the Monastery facility 【Gem Workshop】. It can be used for various workshop processes, including Gem Crafting, Blueprint Crafting, Gem Synthesis, and related features.
Gem Box Gameplay Adjustments
The visual presentation and gameplay mechanics of Gem Boxes after clearing a Corrupted Zone have been adjusted.
The original Gem Box selection method has been changed to a new “choose one from three facedown cards” format.
Gem rewards will now appear as three facedown cards. Players must choose one Gem Card first, then receive the corresponding reward.
The new Gem Box gameplay also interacts with Gem Workshop upgrades such as 【Gem Appraisal Craft】 and 【Gem Radiance】, giving players more room to judge and make informed choices in future gem selections.
Gem Workshop Rework
The Monastery facility 【Gem Workshop】 has undergone a full rework.
The new Gem Workshop is no longer only about increasing Gem inlay slots and unlocking Gem Crafting and Synthesis. Instead, it now forms a more complete progression system centered around 【Ore】, 【Blueprints】, 【Gem Synthesis】, 【Gem Decomposition】, and 【Gem Box Appraisal】.
Gem Workshop Unlock Condition Adjustments
The new Gem Workshop level unlock conditions are as follows:
Gem Workshop LV1: Automatically unlocked after the first Corrupted Zone exploration ends
