Soul's Remnant · published

✨ New Features & Systems

Party Recruit

  • You can now recruit party members from across all channels for dungeons, Mirage, and party quests, straight from the Party window.

Waypoint Compass

  • Select any map to navigate to and a guide arrow will lead you there.

Cosmetic Pets

  • Cosmetic pets have been added to the game. Feed them to keep them happy and level them up to unlock more visual effects.

Luck of the Sea (new skill)

  • Occasionally fish up treasure such as Souls, Passes, or Mirages.

New Dyeing System

  • More accurate colors and accents, plus a live preview before you confirm.

Villager Leaderboards

  • Heart point leaderboards added for all 10 villager NPCs.

Gathering Tutorial

  • First-time players now get a tutorial when they learn the Gathering skill.

/trade command

  • Use

/trade [player name]

to trade anyone on your map without hunting them down and double-clicking.

🗡️ Skill Changes

  • Proficiency has been renamed to Level.

  • Macro has been renamed to Combo.

Soul Shot & Holy Arrow (Rework)

  • You can now perform a Perfect Release: firing right after the bow is fully charged grants a short damage buff. Holding too long releases the skill automatically.

Dark Fire (Rework)

  • Initial range reduced by 15%.

Realm Piercing Arrow (Heavily Nerfed)

Its overall damage was far above where it should be, and its boss damage in particular was well out of line with other skills.

Flash Strike

  • Now grants 50% damage reduction for 2.5s instead of full invulnerability.

Flame Barrage

  • Now aims with your mouse. Without a mouse bind, it fires left/right only.

Blood Sacrifice

  • Mana→Shield and damage-taken→Mana conversion rates reduced by 25%.

Divine Thorn

  • Previous nerf reverted, plus a small buff.

Slash

  • Now grants global attack speed as an active stat.

Companion Skill

  • Now gains EXP based on damage dealt.

  • Proc chance at Lv.20 increased from 39% to 45%.

🏰 Dungeons & Content

Abyss Trial
