2. New Training Camp Mode

The brand-new customizable mode will allow you to customize the enemy unit with a great degree of freedom. You can even fine-tune the attributes of their Immortals and dragons.

1)     Unlock Conditions: Spend 1,000 Gems to unlock customizable mode for one month. You can also purchase 6 months of customizable mode, which comes with bonus gifts.

2)     Customizable Content: After unlocking customizable mode, you will obtain 4 empty customizable unit slots. In these unit slots, you can freely customize the enemy Immortal unit, skills, gears, artifacts, as well as set the various attributes of their dragons and Immortals. Everything unlocked on your server will be available to use in customizable mode, including things you do not own.

3. Mercantile Path

As humanity continues to win battle after battle, trade is beginning to resume in Norheim. Trade caravans carry resources to markets in order to trade them for rare treasures. However, the crafty Gnome Units have been eyeing these caravans, waiting for their opportunity to strike and loot the merchandise. Your mission is to work with your allies to escort these caravans safely to their destination, earning vast rewards in the process.

1)     Eligibility: You must be in an Alliance to participate.

2)     Choosing a Caravan: You can choose the size of the caravan you wish to escort, as well as the amount of resources it carries. (The larger the caravan, the more resources you can escort.) The larger the caravan and the more resources carried, the more difficult the mission and the greater the possible rewards.

3)     Convening Allies: You can create a caravan, or join a caravan created by your Alliance members. Once the caravan is created, you can dispatch your own troops or invite other Alliance members to help with the escort. Please wait until all participating troops arrive at the caravan departure point before starting the escort mission.

4)     Resist the Gnomes: While escorting the caravan, you will be attacked by Gnomes. Do your best to defeat them, or the caravan's resources will be lost, and your final reward will be reduced. If all the caravan's resources are lost, the escort mission will fail. After the end of each Gnome attack, the caravan will stay in place for a short while. You can take this opportunity to replenish any lost troops or dispatch a new unit for the escort. Pay attention to the caravan's status to make sure you have enough Troop Power to defeat the attacking Gnomes. We recommend inviting as many Alliance members as possible to escort the caravan.

5)     Success Conditions: The escort is a success if the caravan arrives at its destination before all its resources are lost.

6)     Event Rewards: Rewards are determined by the size of the caravan and how successful the escort was. Once the escort is complete, the player who created the caravan will receive rewards based on the amount of remaining resources, whereas Alliance members who helped with the escort will receive rewards based on how much damage they dealt. The Alliance will also obtain Contribution Points. At the end of the event, Alliances will be ranked based on their Contribution Points and receive the corresponding ranking rewards.

7)     Event Period: Check your server's Calendar to see when this event is scheduled.

4. Primal Pinball

The golden toad spits out a ball. Where will it land? In the new Primal Pinball event, you just have to spend a certain number of Gems to shoot a pinball and win the prize the ball hits. Prizes includes valuable Unique Artifact Schematic fragments and Artifact forging materials. After shooting a certain number of pinballs, the golden toad will receive an upgrade and shoot multiple balls at once for free. You will win all rewards hit by these balls.

5. Artifact Rebirth

Upon entering Season 1, the Artifact Rebirth tab will be unlocked at the Alchemy Lab. All Artifacts that have been enhanced (developed, upgraded, or potential increased) can be reset to their initial state (Lv.0, 0 stars, and Bronze Stage potential) by spending Alchemy Stones.

1)     Rebirth Conditions: The Artifact must have been enhanced (developed/upgraded/potential increased) and must not be equipped or locked.

2)     Resources Returned: After rebirthing an Artifact, you will receive 100% of the Artifact EXP resources (as Artifact EXP Scrolls), development materials (as unenhanced Artifacts of the same name with fixed attributes and no special attributes), and potential upgrade materials previously spent on that Artifact.

3)     Rebirth Effect: A reborn Artifact will be reset to its initial state (Lv.0, 0 stars, Bronze Stage potential). Its main attributes, special attributes, and exclusive attributes will also be reset to their initial state. Secondary attributes will be randomly generated again.

Optimizations

1.  Legion of Frostborne

1)     Thermal Towers: Thermal Towers can no longer be built in regions whose checkpoint's occupation has not been unlocked.

2)     Geothermal Zone Conflict Warning: If your Alliance or a friendly Alliance has already built a Thermal Tower near a target city or checkpoint, but is unable to cover any grid of the target city or checkpoint due to another Alliance's Thermal Tower, you will receive a notification when you try to attack that city or checkpoint: "Target is in the range of another Alliance's Thermal Tower. Destroy the Thermal Tower before attacking the target."

3)     Alliance Tactics: Using "Ex Nihilo" to build Thermal Towers will cost double the Alliance resources.

2.  Customizable Alliance Permissions

The Alliance Leader (R6) can now customize the permissions granted to members of each rank within the Alliance. The Alliance Leader can do the following:

1. Revoke some of the permissions granted to R5 members.

2. Grant R3, R4, and R5 members the permission to create or disband group chats. (R6 and R5 members have admin status in any group chat created by members of lower ranks. This allows them to disband chats, review group chat members, change the group chat's name, and appoint admins.)

Refer to the table below for detailed information on the new Alliance permissions. Permissions marked with ★ can be changed by the Alliance Leader. Permissions marked with √ cannot be changed.

3.  Strengthened Artifacts

All Artifact attributes will receive a one-time increase, giving them a more obvious effect in boosting your Immortals.

Development: In addition to increasing special attributes, development will also increase the Artifact's main and secondary attributes.

Upgrades: Upgrading Artifacts will increase attribute values by a larger amount than previously.

Value Adjustments: Since both upgrading and development have been strengthened, once the patch is live, all Artifacts you own will be updated to the new values based on their current level and star grade.

4. Chronicle

The Chronicle event that unlocks Immortal Artifacts has been changed from Event 21 - Royal Ambition to Event 15 - Great Expectations. You will now be able to experience Artifacts at an earlier stage.

Balance Adjustments

1. Unique Artifacts

Developing Unique Artifacts will require Unique Artifacts of the same name to as development materials. For example, Death and Glory, Death and Glory · Guard, and Death and Glory · Glory are Unique Artifacts of the same name.
