The Blade & Soul: Legacy of the Hongmoon Clan update is now live, and with it several impactful additions and changes to items and systems. Check out the details below and click here for the full patch notes.

Systems Changes

Unity System

A new account level system called "Unity" has been added to the game.

120 levels are currently available.

Unity can be leveled up through any character on the account, and the benefits are shared between all characters on the account as well.

Reputation is used to increase your Unity level, and you can earn it by completing daily and weekly quests and challenges as well as defeating Heroic Dungeon bosses. You can earn up to 220,000 Reputation daily.

As your Unity level goes up, you will gain stat boosts and the ability to equip different Splendor Stones to customize your attribute bonuses.

Splendor Stones can be acquired from the Cold Storage and Heaven’s Mandate Merchant Mallang as well as the Merchant of Wonders. They will also be available for a limited time in the Cherry Blossom Treasure Trove.

Splendor Stones can be stored in a separate inventory in the Unity UI panel.

Splendor Stones can be combined with one another to upgrade them.

Skill Enhancement System

A new Skill Enhancement system opens up to players who reach level 60.

Spend Skill Enhancement points to enhance the damage output of your skills.

A maximum of 15 Skill Enhancement points can currently be earned.

Earn 5 Skill Enhancement points when reaching level 60 and earn the remaining points when completing skill achievements.

Only certain skills can be enhanced. You can filter them in the Talent panel by checking the “View Enhanceable Skills” checkbox.

Collection System

A new Collection tab has been added to the Wardrobe.

Collect various sets of Costumes, Pets and Illusion Weapons to earn stat bonuses.

Every time you complete a set you can unlock stat bonuses, and they are cumulative.

Your Collection Rank will go up as you complete more sets. The Collection Rank currently doesn’t provide any extra benefits (you do get some bragging rights­); however, this may change in a future update.

You can favorite some of the Collection sets to make it easier to track your progression.
