Delve into the depths with the latest version update!

New battle content known as "Delve" wells up from far below to chew up and spit out players who have completed Wildskeeper Reive and Skirmish content.

In the light of the March 27 update, there have been a bevy of battle-related changes, featuring adjustments to reives, jobs, merit point enhancements to weapon skills, additional tweaks to enmity accrual, and more alterations than you can shake a Yagudo torch at!

Plunge deep into all the details and finally lift the shroud that surrounds this update!

Spirit of the Samurai

Bucolic breezes begin buffeting the cheeks of cheerful citizens throughout the three nations as a sign that spring is in full swing, kupo! And what better way to welcome this warm weather than wielding a wooden weapon in the Feast of Swords?

This festival may have been forged with the fire of boisterous boys in mind, but lately a growing gaggle of gallant girls have expressed extreme enthusiasm in the event, too. Well, the more the merrier, I always say, so let's munch on mochi in celebration of our stupendous new supporters, kupo!

Also, that Far Eastern armor has been "borrowed" by brigands—

Uh...should I actually agree to apply the word "again" here, kupo?

...Well, it seems the cat's out of the case anyway. Please, I request with rectitude that you requisition the runaway regalia once again, kupo!

Yes, just gazing at the array of ardent adventurers chasing churlish cheats while carrying katanas whittled from wood makes me wish we could witness this event every y—

At any rate, please prioritize procuring the priceless panoply to placate the princes and obstruct the onslaught of oriental outrage. Over and out, kupo.

Dig deep into a rousing report on the equipment embezzlement that's fast becoming an annual affair.
