CHAPTER 01

Star Journey

System

The patch introduces Star Journey — a cumulative system that connects activities that already existed (Adventure Codex, Exploration Codex, Vestiges of Time and Space) to permanent attribute increases.

Every relevant action in the game drops Star Memories that add attributes directly to the character, with no need to equip anything.

Main menu · Character · Star Journey with the progress tree

Star Memory granting a permanent attribute increase when acquired

Access

Main Menu > Character

+ New menu

Unlocked after completing the Prologue: The Child Who Embraced the Stars. Applies per character.

Star Memories

Auto-used on acquisition

+ Permanent attribute

Used automatically when they enter the bag. They increase the attributes of the character who acquired them.

"We combined existing scattered content with something new. We added Star Journey: cumulative growth content where your activities inside TL lead directly to your character's growth."

"The development team plans to add more content, both existing and new, to Star Journey in the future."

Adventure Codex, Exploration Codex and Vestiges of Time and Space drop Memories
Nebula Island and the Chaos Witch Altars (normal and extreme) do not drop
Maximum attributes visible in the Star Record
Extra increases checkable under Character > Information

CHAPTER 02

Construction Vestiges

PvE

Two new elements were added across all map territories: Space-Time Singularities and Artifact Fishing Spots. Both grant Star Memories and activate when you use the region's teleport stone.

Overview of Vestiges in a territory — the active teleport stone displays the spots

Space-Time Singularity Portal — specific objective per region

Artifact Fishing Spot — location-specific fishing drops Memories

Space-Time Singularity

Portal per region

+ New loot

Cross the portal, complete that singularity's specific objective and earn the region's Star Memories.

Artifact Fishing Spots

Contextual fishing

+ Daily loot

Some regions gained specific spots where fishing yields Star Memories — not regular fish.

CHAPTER 03

New PvP season

PvP

The Arena season enters Season 6 and the Battlefield debuts its Season 1. Both with ranked-only matchmaking. Statues of the top players were added in the Plaza of Determination (Herba Village).

Arena Season 6 — ranked only, rank-based rewards

Battlefield Season 1 — City of Giants or Elven Airship Station

Plaza of Determination · Herba Village — top player statues

Arena Season 6

Ranked matchmaking only

+ Honor reward

Ranking-based rewards added. No friendly queue this season.

Battlefield Season 1

Debut · draw between 2 maps

+ New system

After matchmaking, it draws between City of Giants and Elven Airship Station.

Item	Cost (Solant)	Rank requirement
Battlefield S1 Mythic	300,000	Top 10 (one-time purchase)
Battlefield S1 Legendary	300,000	Top 30 (one-time purchase)
Authorization — Gold Trophy	5,000,000	Top 100
Authorization — Silver Trophy	3,000,000	Top 200
Authorization — Bronze Trophy	1,000,000	Top 300

Purchase unlocked only if you reach the daily rank in the season. Materials for the trophies: rare iron ore x10, rare stone plate x5, additive x5.

Change to open-combat windows during events — now only during the Progress phase

Silent change — PvP combat windows

⟡ Attention

Before, regional events, field bosses, Arch Boss and tax escort allowed open combat in all phases (start, progress, end). Now, only during "Progress". The change aims to reduce accidental deaths and give time to position groups before the event begins.

CHAPTER 04

Weapon adjustments

Build

Five weapons received bug fixes or combo adjustments. The most relevant change is the buff to the combo count of the Abyss Knight's Predator Spear.

Crossbow — [Ambidextrous Hand]

Tooltip × actual effect fix

⚙ Fix

The crit bonus when attacking with the secondary weapon was applying a value different from the one described in the tooltip. Fixed.

Arcane Staff — [Space-Time Leap]

CD reduction bug

⚙ Fix

The skill's cooldown reduction was applying to the wrong types of ability. Fixed for Barrier of Grace, Fount of Vitality and their specializations.

Tornado Spear — [Hurricane Blade]

Explicit limit on extra use

▼ Cap 1 use

Before

No explicit limit

After

Max. 1 extra use

Abyss Predator Spear — [Spiral Charge]

Additional combos

▲ +100%

Before

+2 spiral slashes

After

+4 spiral slashes

CHAPTER 05

QoL and systems

System

The patch brought a dense quality-of-life package: auto-registration of Amitoy expeditions, unification of adventure currencies into a single one (Indomitable), Festa Theme becoming a quick menu only when active, and improvements to boss portals.

Amitoy expedition auto-registration: automatic placement based on the previous expedition

Territory tab displays states: on expedition, completed or on standby

Festa Theme: removed from the main menu, shown as a quick menu only during the active period

Boss Gate: each gate's duration shown on approach, the group's enrollment highlighted

⟡ Convenience

Amitoy Expedition: auto-registration based on the previous expedition
Expedition status visible in the territory tab
Boss Gate shows each gate's duration on approach
Event enrollment appears highlighted in the notification
Tower of Greed: current floor visible on the HUD
HUD editor gains a new "Minimal" level

⟡ Currency unification

Adventure Currency: Tenacity and Faith will be converted
2× Tenacity → 1× Indomitable
1× Faith → 1× Indomitable
Odd leftover: still 1× Indomitable (favors the player)
Currency boxes renamed en masse
Token tab auto-hides if quantity = 0

CHAPTER 06

Cooperative dungeons

Dungeon

Two dungeons received adjustments: Lucien (Abyss of Corruption) and Kimadeus (Temple of the Dragon Flame).

Lucien — Pursuing Scythe pattern

Abyss of Corruption

QoL

When you destroy the Blood Stone during the pattern, all scythes vanish. Before, they persisted even after the destruction.

Kimadeus — water drip system

Temple of the Dragon Flame

▼ −50% DoT

You can now drip water by pulling the hook, without needing to purify the statue. Ignition and poison damage reduced by 50%.

Analysis

Scaryel comments

⟡ Creator's voice

“This patch is smaller in number but bigger in consequence than it looks. Star Journey is the kind of change that will weigh in 3 months, not tomorrow — whoever does Codex now will hold a permanent attribute advantage over those who join later. The Kimadeus DoT nerf is the item nobody talked about and it will change the pug meta. About the Predator Spear buff: it went from +2 to +4 extra slashes. That's absurd. If you play spear, it's time to revisit the Spiral Charge build. And the change to the PvP window during events? Welcome. I'm tired of dying in the field boss setup with no chance to react.”

Final verdict⟡ Strong maintenance patch · Worth followingConfidence: 7.5/10

Community

What changes in practice

This patch is Korean. The BR version usually receives the changes with a 2 to 4 week delay. But it's time to prepare — especially if you play Spear or Arcane Staff.

For guilds

Star Memory accumulation starts early: begin planning Codex rotations now.

For solo PvP

Arena T6 and Battlefield T1 change the ranked scene — anyone wanting a trophy needs to be in the top 300.

For casual players

Massive QoL: auto-Amitoy, minimal HUD, unified currency. Life much lighter.
