Greetings Adventurers,

Recently we launched our newly redesigned website, we’ve streamlined the content delivery and included all sorts of goodies like our 2-year Anniversary Infographic, Partners Program, and a brand new compilation video.

Highlights for this week’s patch include the addition of a new reward system for the Red Battlefield, the version 2.0 launch of everyone’s favorite Black Spirit’s Adventure game, and the return of the Ancient Relic Crystal Shard drop event for all you fishers!













[Event]





The Ancient Relic Crystal Shard Drop Event has begun! During the event period, simply begin Fishing for a chance to hook an Ancient Relic Crystal Shard in place of a fish! Event Period: March 7th After Maintenance - March 21st Before Maintenance.





Black Spirit’s Adventure 2 has been added. Are you ready for Season 2 of your favorite mini-game? The Black Spirit’s Adventure game is back with a brand new look! Event Period: March 7th After Maintenance - March 21st Before Maintenance. Press ESC to open up the menu and find the Black Spirit’s Adventure 2 button. Use “Moves” points that fill up every hour to explore and find treasures all over the web-board game. You will consume 1 ‘Move’ point each time the Black Spirit moves a space. You will recover 1 Move per hour, and the maximum number of ‘Moves’ you can retain at your disposal is 3. However, you can recover up to 10 ‘Moves’ in a day. You can engage in Combat, Gather, Explore, Excavate, or Rest in these circular ‘Nodes’ you find on the board map. However, if it is a Node which you have recently performed action on, there is a cooldown before you can re-visit.
