​

Hello, Travelers~

In Version 4.3, we will implement a series of system optimizations in the game. We will be introducing some of these in this Developers Discussion. Let’s take a look together~

​

〓Archon Quest “Requiem of the Echoing Depths” Unlinked From World Quest〓

The Archon Quest “Requiem of the Echoing Depths” requires Travelers to head to The Chasm: Underground Mines, but this location will be locked until Travelers have completed the corresponding World Quest that allows them to enter and continue pursuing the Archon Quest.

To ensure that Travelers have a smoother experience with the Archon Quest, from Version 4.3 onwards, “The Chasm Delvers” quest series will no longer be prerequisites for this Archon Quest. When you reach the objective “Enter The Chasm: Underground Mines” in the Archon Quest “In the Depths, an Unexpected Reunion,” a Teleport Waypoint will be automatically unlocked in The Chasm: Underground Mines so you can continue with the Archon Quest.

​

〓One-Click Features〓

▌Dispatching Characters on Expeditions

One-Click Expeditions will become available in Version 4.3. This will allow Travelers to claim Expedition Rewards with a single click, as well as repeat expeditions with a single click.

​

(This is under development and is not indicative of the final product.)

​

▌Ingredient Processing and Forging Screens

Aside from expeditions, you will also be able to claim processed ingredients and forged items that have been completed with a single click in Version 4.3.

​

▌Mystic Offering

When performing Mystic Offerings at Crafting Benches, you’ll now be able to add multiple Artifacts in batches with a single click.

In future versions, you’ll also be able to claim created Furnishings from the Creation Screen in the Serenitea Pot with a single click.

​

〓Optimized Artifact Management〓

As the journey goes on, the number of Artifact Sets you can collect will continue to increase. To help Travelers quickly find and manage Artifacts, a significant optimization has been made to the Artifacts filter function.

Automatic Locking and Quick Unlock functions have been added to the Inventory > Artifacts screen. Travelers can use these to automatically lock and unlock Artifacts according to the requirements they set.

(This is under development and is not indicative of the final product.)

​

Additionally, as a reference to help Travelers when choosing Artifacts, recommended Artifact set information based on recently active players will now be shown on characters’ Artifacts screens.

For more details about Artifact management optimizations, please stay tuned for future official descriptions.

​

〓Optimized Enhancement Screens〓

In the current version of the game, when Travelers level up characters or enhance Weapons and Artifacts, a pop-up appears showing how the corresponding values changed before and after enhancement. In Version 4.3, enhancement information will be integrated into the original screen instead. This will make the enhancement experience smoother for Travelers by getting rid of the frequent pop-ups.

Apart from integrating enhancement information, there will also be some small targeted optimizations on these screens:

​

▌Character Level-Up Screen

(This is under development and is not indicative of the final product.)

The speed of interface special effects related to leveling up characters has been increased, and you can now use Auto Add to add sufficient Character EXP Materials to get the character up to the highest level they can reach before Ascension with a single click.

​

▌Artifact Enhancement Screen

(This is under development and is not indicative of the final product.)

​

Other optimizations:

1. You can now consume up to 15 items per time when enhancing Artifacts.

2. Added the “Enhance to Next Tier” function. Once activated, when there are still open slots to add Enhancement Materials but this action will already cause

the Artifact to reach Level 4/8/12/16, no more additional Enhancement Materials will be automatically added.

3. In Settings > Other, you can choose whether or not 5-Star Artifacts can be auto-added as Enhancement Materials.

Combined with the Automatic Locking function mentioned above, we hope that these changes will make managing 5-star Artifacts more convenient for Travelers.

​

▌Weapon Enhancement Screen

(This is under development and is not indicative of the final product.)

You can now consume up to 40 items per time when enhancing Weapons on, and select multiple materials when refining Weapons.

We hope that these optimizations make the enhancement experience smoother for Travelers.

​

〓Character Reload Spot When Challenging Domains Repeatedly〓

In Version 4.3, after entering the Domain or if you continue to challenge the Domain after claiming rewards, characters will reload nearer to the Domain challenge location. This means you won’t have to run over from the Domain entrance to this location again.

(This is under development and is not indicative of the final product.)

​

〓Other Optimizations〓

To improve your gaming experience, some other optimizations will be implemented in Version 4.3. These include:

1. The way enemy avatars display in Adventurer Handbook: Enemies will be adjusted to help you find them. Also, you can now select “Cancel Navigation” on this screen to stop navigating towards the corresponding enemy on the map.

(This is under development and is not indicative of the final product.)

2. On the various creation screens (Crafting/Cooking/Forging/Create Furnishing), if there are no selected character records on the Traveler’s device, the first character that can provide a bonus when creating the selected item will be chosen by default.

3. On the map screen, you’ll now be able to check bosses’ current remaining respawn times by clicking their avatars.

​

(This is under development and is not indicative of the final product.)

And that’s all for this Developers Discussion. We’ll have more information about new version content and optimizations for you in the future, so please stay tuned for further official announcements. If you have any thoughts or feedback, feel free to send them to us through the various channels within and outside of the game~
