August 13 Update Preview

We're here to share the upcoming update scheduled for August 13.

This update will introduce "Journey's Treasure," a new growth reward system for Chapter Idle Hunt, along with three new Artifacts.

Additionally, job balance adjustments, content difficulty adjustments, and various QoL improvements suggested by our Maplers — including presets, Party Quests, equipment filters, and battle display settings — will also be applied.

We hope you look forward to the August 13 update!

Please note that this content is still under development and may be subject to change upon update.

🔸 New System: Journey's Treasure

The "Journey's Treasure" system will be added, which allows you to earn key growth materials through Chapter Idle Hunt.

• Fill the Treasure gauge through Chapter Hunt. When it's full, choose one of the four Treasure cards to claim your reward.

• Through Treasure cards, you can choose one of the following: Star Force Enhancement Scrolls, Regular Potential Cubes, Spell Traces, or Meso.

• The three cards you didn't choose will advance in stage and offer greater rewards next time, while the chosen card's stage will reset.

• The gauge fills through Chapter Hunt — the higher the chapter, the faster it fills.

• The gauge can be stocked up to 200%.

• The required gauge amount increases each time a reward is claimed.

• "Weekly Acceleration" lets you fill the gauge faster every week.

• Journey's Treasure is available to players who have unlocked Hero's Journey (Chapter 20 clear required).

Three new Legendary Artifacts will be added.
