I. Maintenance Details
Maintenance Time: August 20, 2026, 02:00 – 06:00 EDT
Maintenance Type: Server Shutdown for Update
The game server will be offline during this maintenance. All adventurers are advised to arrange your gameplay in advance to avoid any losses.
II. Update Contents
(1) Brand-New Enhancement System Launches
A new NPC Enhancement Master has been added to Great Tree City. Gather the required materials and visit this NPC to enhance your weapons and boost their stats. Weapon enhancement for all classes is available this patch, with a maximum enhancement level of +10.
1. Enhancement Procedure
1. Ensure you have sufficient enhancement materials in your inventory before attempting enhancement.
2. Place the weapon to be enhanced in your inventory.
3. Speak with the Enhancement Master and select the Enhancement service to open the enhancement interface.
4. Drag the target equipment from your inventory into the enhancement slot.
5. Click the Enhance button to proceed.
2. Enhancement Notes
Weapon enhancement carries risks of failure and destruction. Additional stacks of enhancement materials can be consumed to raise success rate. Enhancement Notes may be used to reduce the chance of equipment destruction. All relevant probabilities are displayed in real time at the top-right corner of the enhancement interface. Adventurers may choose their material consumption strategy accordingly.
3. New Items
1. Enhancement Note: Reduces the chance of equipment destruction during enhancement. Available for purchase in the in-game Shop.
2. Enhancement Stone: Core material for equipment enhancement. Obtainable from Rare Ore Packs, Epic Ore Packs, and contested resource node gameplay.
3. Ancient Codex: Core material for equipment enhancement. Dropped from Regular Treasure Maps, Golden Treasure Maps, and various daily events.
(2) New AFK Reward Event Launches
The new online reward event will go live after maintenance and end at 00:00, August 23, 2026 (Beijing Time).
(3) Limited-Time Treasure Hunt Ranking Event Launches
Event Period
16:00, August 20, 2026 – 00:00, August 28, 2026 (Beijing Time)
Event Access
Press ESC → Info / Help → Treasure Hunt Rankings. Rank data refreshes automatically every 5 minutes.
Event Rules
1. Each completed Treasure Map appraisal during the event counts toward your treasure hunt tally. Once the event concludes, rankings will be finalized and rewards distributed based on each player’s total valid appraisal count across the server.
2. Ranking Criteria: Rankings are determined solely by total valid appraisal count. Higher counts yield higher placement.
3. Tiebreaker Rule: If multiple players have identical appraisal counts, the player who reached that count first will be ranked higher, determined by the system timestamp of their final appraisal.
4. Reward Threshold: All ranked rewards require a minimum appraisal count. Players who meet the rank placement but fail the threshold cannot claim the reward. Rewards will not roll over or be reassigned.
5. Vacant Rank Rule: If no player meets the threshold for a given rank, that reward tier is forfeited with no downward redistribution.
