In order to improve your game experience, the server will undergo maintenance on August 1 from 07:00 to 08:00 UTC to update to Version 1.4.3. You will not be able to log in during this time. For the safety of your account data, please exit the game before the maintenance begins. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Major Updates

 1. Adding a new Hypogean hero: Saida, the Vampiric Vine. You can acquire her through Stargaze Station and Guild Store.

 2. Adding a new Homestead feature, which is going live on August 8 at 00:00 UTC! You can unlock it after completing the main quest Franz the Suspect. Once unlocked, tap the icon in the top-right corner to enter your Homestead. For the best experience, make sure your game client is updated!
Please note: The Homestead feature is independent of seasonal content. Its progress will not reset with the start or end of each season. Feel free to enjoy building your Homestead without worrying about progress resets!

In addition, any Dimensional Hero Soul Sigils currently in your inventory can be converted at a fixed rate into these general items using the recycle feature.

Season Phases 3 Optimizations

 To ease the pressure on players at the start of the new phase, we're making the following adjustments to the AFK Stages in Phase 3 of this season:

 a. Starting with Phase 3, once you reach 1,800 in both your AFK Rewards daily limit and AFK progress, you'll begin earning the new Phase 3 material, Starlight, as part of your AFK rewards.

 b. On the first day of Phase 3, if your AFK Rewards daily limit has reached 1,800, your maximum AFK stage limit will be set to 1,800. If your AFK Rewards daily limit is below 1,800, your current maximum AFK stage limit will remain as it is. Additionally, rewards from clearing Stage 1,800 and beyond will be increased after Phase 3 begins.

 c. The one-time Starlight rewards from Phase 3's normal AFK stages will be moved to the clear rewards for Season Milestone AFK Stages 1,801-2,700. These rewards will unlock gradually based on the season start time.

 d. The one-time Starlight rewards from Phase 3's Legend Trial will be moved to the clear rewards for Season Milestone Legend Trial Floors 141-200. These rewards will unlock gradually based on the season start time.
