▣ Guild Raid
Guild Raid will be unlocked after clearing the Normal difficulty of Boss Raid: Zakum.
After that, you can form a Party with Guild Members to challenge Zakum.
You can challenge with up to 10 Guild Members in a Party,
and when the battle ends, rewards will be given based on the boss's remaining HP.
The first 10 guilds to clear on each server will receive additional rewards for all Guild Members,
so show your guild's unity!
▣ Medals
You can obtain Medals by achieving specific conditions during gameplay.
When you equip an obtained Medal, the Medal image will be displayed below your nickname.
Some Medals also provide Medal Inventory Effect.
▣ Dungeon Presets
A 'Dungeon Preset' system will be added that allows you to apply Presets for each individual Dungeon.
This is a system that allows you to apply which preset number to use for Skills, Companions, Abilities, and Artifacts for each Dungeon.
Please note that with the addition of Dungeon Presets, the Arena Preset feature shown in individual content will be removed.
▣ Holiday Events
Holiday Mission Event
An event will be held where you can exchange various items through the Shop using 'Holiday Socks' obtained by completing daily Missions.
You can additionally obtain 3 types of Santa Costumes based on the number of Missions completed, so please stay tuned.
Together With Renee's Magic Bell!
An event will be held where you can hunt monsters during the event period, fill the gauge, and activate Renee's Magic Bell Skill.
Renee's Magic Bell Skill applies during Chapter Hunt, and when activated, you can quickly defeat enemies, gain Buff effects for a certain time, and also obtain Holiday Socks.
We hope you have a more enjoyable play experience with Renee's Magic Bell event.
Hidden Gifts in Happyville
During the event period, a new Town 'Happyville' will be added.
