The side story is a 2-week side story that follows an album-type event setting where players have to collect different types of event currencies by clearing stages of the specific chapter and use them to unlock parts of an album. These album pieces contain different rewards like epic gear, charms (both greater and lesser), covenant bookmarks, molagora, epic penguins, runes, and more. The side story is available to all players who have cleared 10-10 main stages in Episode 1 and can be accessed from going to the battle>side story tab. Players can earn various rewards and event currency by playing through the side story and clearing all the stages. The event currencies for this side story are – Colorful Seashells (Chapter 1), Vibrant Ore (Chapter 2), and Battered Lamps (Chapter 3).

A new Epic Pass has also been released and is available for all players to purchase using their skystones. The new epic pass titled “Vacation Season 2021” features a new skin for Montmorancy called Serene Sea Montmorancy. Players can get this skin for 1800 sky stones by upgrading their normal epic pass to a special epic pass. They will also get bonus premium rewards like Gold Transmit Stones, MolaGora, Charms, Covenant Bookmarks, and Ancient Coins by doing so and completing the different levels of the Epic Pass. 

July 2021 Drop Rate-UP Banners

  • Holiday Yufine with Champion’s Trophy (Limited Summon Banner 22/7/21 – 5/8/21)
  • Mui with Circus Fantasia (22/7/21 – 29/7/21)

Quality of Life Improvements

  • Spirit Altar is getting reworked from scratch. No more 10 levels of spirit altar but only 4 which are divided into 4 different difficulties – Easy, Norma, Hard and Hell. The reputations for these will also be reset so players can get the rewards again as they complete spirit altar reputations. The Adventurer’s Path missions will also change to reflect the new difficulties instead of previous stages.
  • The issue where the application applied abnormal formulas during the calculation of players gained and lost Victory Points in World Arena will be fixed.
  • A new 10X Summon option for Phantasms, Penguins, and MolaGora in the Alchemist Steeple will be available for easier summoning rather than tedious clicking 1 by 1. The cost of summoning will remain the same.
