〓Update Content〓
I. New Region
Open a new area — “Valoran”
The Sea Above the Ground, Source of Infinite Waters — Stories unheard of and long-forgotten legends long yearn for travelers, who have long since sunk into the depths of the sea. Following the gentle flow of the water, travelers cross plains, forests, and sand deserts to reach the source of the continent’s water systems.
At the pinnacle of the waterfall, high above the sea, a new chapter of adventure quietly unfolds.
◇New Region Added: In version 4.0, the “Valoran Pavilion,” “Emerald Crystal,” and “White Dew” zones will be open.
※Upon completing the third chapter of the Mythic Beings Mission “The Dragon and the Free Song,” the “Floating Garden” transmission anchor point in Mustan (for travelers who completed the related Mythic Beings Mission before the version update will also be unlocked after the update) will be automatically unlocked, allowing travelers to use this anchor point to enter the Valoran region. At the time of automatic unlocking, travelers will receive an original stone reward for unlocking this anchor point.
▌Valoran Region New Mechanism
“Valoran Blessing”
A unique power flows from the statue, bestowing a blessing from the waters of the Wondrous Sea upon travelers.
Travelers can freely traverse the waters within the large lakes of Valoran.
※Currently, if travelers attempt to use small items equipped on their characters while in water, they may encounter a problem where the icons of these items do not appear; this issue may prevent travelers from quickly switching to other items. Travelers can currently replace these items in their backpacks; or they can quickly switch to items that can be used while in water before entering the water. This issue will be fixed in a future version.
▌Valoran Region New System
“Orchestrated Spring”
Upon depositing the “Water Mark” obtained during adventures in Valoran into the Orchestrated Spring outside the Obeek Theatre, the spring’s level can be increased, yielding valuable resources.
