PATCH 2P :09/06/2021 UPDATE VICIOUS SECOND MOON RISES

 您好, 巨龍!

Salutations, Dragons!

We continue to be amazed by the reception we’ve received from our players for our Nine Dragons service. There’s still a lot of work to do, but while we’re stamping out bugs and catching miscreants, we’ve managed to add some extra bonuses and events.

Hermit’s Blessing

From day to day and week to week, various locations in the Land will resound a little louder with the voice of experience and the ring of fortune. This is the Hermit’s Blessing, and if you want to find out where fortune is greatest, we suggest you take the following information to heart.

(We are working on a means of displaying what, where, and when bonus rates will be in effect directly on our website. But until that feature is ready, please check the latest patch notes for definitive data.)

(Also, there will be a slight delay before the in-game “Golden Time” text changes. We aren’t following the same event structure as previous publishers, hence the new name.)

Weekday Rates will begin on Tuesday morning, at about 6am server time (CEST), and last until 6am Saturday morning, and which point Weekend Rates will take effect. Weekend Rates will last through Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and end on Tuesday at 6am, whether or not there is scheduled server downtime for that week.

Level 1-120 Field Maps includes the following: Tianjin, Song Shan, Wu-Tang Shan, Taishan, Zixia Dong, Mount Yanmo, Jinan, Shizhang, Zhengzhou, Datong, Nanchang, Hangzhou.

Hunting EXP refers to experience gains from slaying Deviant clans, but not from completing quests or any other experience rewards.

Rates are a function of the normal EXP/item drop rate. So “100%” refers to the standard rates, and “150%” means a bonus of +50% above normal.

Vicious Second Moon

The Vicious Moon is entering its second phase, so everyone in the Land can enjoy the Vicious Second Moon buff for the next three weeks.

We know you can't see it. But trust us, it's there.

Day and Night

We were certainly surprised by the determination some players showed, in order to make their clan’s top 3 experience earners and capture the Day and Night epithet. The event officially ends with today’s patch, but it's going to take us a few days or so to confirm the winners. Once we do, we’ll give them their well-deserved shout-out, and deliver the promised reward packages to all 18.

PapayaPlay Marketplace

We announced the addition of the Ornament Detachment Tool earlier this week, via an in-game announcement and through our social media channels. But if you still missed it, this tool allows you to remove and recover all the ornaments you’ve inserted into one weapon or clothing item.

This maintenance adds the Guardian Chest (Rank 1~3), which will only be on sale for the next two weeks. You’ll receive a guardian spirit of random rank, which you can register in your Guardian menu, in order to gain the services of a random guardian of that rank. Guardians not only pick up items for you, but they can grant temporary boons via Guardian Skills. You can even deploy them via the Search command, and they’ll bring you back whatever items they find.

Alright, make with the milk, Bessie."

Bug Fixes

• The Auctioneer’s Search function now works properly for weapons and clothing.
• Chi Kung Supplements from each clan can be properly stacked.
• Players will see the NPC’s name on the target plate, instead of their own, when clicking NPC’s.
• You can reacquire a quest without issue, if you force-close the NPC dialogue which offers it.
• Minor text issues.

An exploit related to dungeons in Liaodong and Hangzhou has also been fixed. That part doesn't concern most players, since you’re good and honest people. But the stability issues which affected these maps should now be resolved.

Road to the Dragon Quest Bug

We've had multiple players report issues with the Road to the Dragon questline. The issue has been fixed, somewhat, to the point where it shouldn't be a major issue anymore. If any players do encounter issues preventing them from progressing along this quest, we request they contact support.

A few players ended up waiting longer than we would have liked, between reporting the issue and us being able to identify and resolve it, and we've delivered a small compensation to them.

有空再會!

Thanks, and see you in the Land!
