Major Update v0.20260905.8 — Weapon Development, Resonance & Combat

Major Update v0.20260905.8

Based on player reports, this update improves early weapon progression, endgame Legendary Gear development, and the clarity of hunt information.

Weapon Development Contract

• Added a one-time Weapon Development Contract that lets you choose one weapon branch where both T1 and T2 are still incomplete.
• First-clearing the target Standard monster grants the T1 design right. Its first craft uses a contract recipe with no blueprint and reduced materials.
• After reaching the required AR, first-clearing the target Empowered monster grants the T2 design right for the same branch.
• Home, Quests, Workshop, and Build now show contract progress and the next required action.
• Each account may choose only one contract and cannot change branches afterward. Existing players can use it when an eligible unfinished branch remains.

Legendary Gear and Resonance

• Each Legendary armor piece now gains 8% of its base Defense per level from Lv0 through Lv10.
• One lineage unlocks Resonance I with two pieces at Lv5+, Resonance II with four pieces at Lv7+, and Resonance III with all five pieces at Lv10.
• Each of the six lineages has distinct Resonance effects. Different lineages do not combine, and equipped weapon type is not a condition.
• The Build screen now summarizes active Resonance tiers, requirements, current/required piece counts, and their actual effects directly below the current loadout.
• Fixed Resonance details being cut off by making the loadout rail scrollable at every restored panel height.
• Awakening after Lv10 improves Arcanum only; Defense and Resonance are capped at Lv10.

Combat and Presentation

• Revised weapon-type passives and roles to better distinguish offense, part breaking, ailments, and durability.
• Quest planning now makes estimated clear time and expected rewards for the current build easier to compare.
• Stun lasts 8 seconds on its first trigger, then 15% less per repeat, down to a 4-second minimum.
• Exhaust lasts 20 seconds and applies enemy Attack -30%, enemy attack interval +20%, and damage dealt +10%.
• Hunt records now show attack-window seconds created by Stun plus Exhaust uptime, bonus damage, and estimated time saved.
• Corrected the Simplified Chinese Precision Strike description so its weak-hitzone condition matches every other language.
