〓Content of the Update〓
I. New Region
A new region — “Valentia” — has been opened.
The Upper Sea, the Source of All Waters — stories long unheard and forgotten legends seek to draw the traveler’s attention, like a sunken lost nation. Following the gentle flow of water, travelers cross over plains, dense forests, and sandy deserts, and they will eventually reach the source of the continent’s water system. At the peak of the waterfall and on the plateau, the new chapter of adventure in Valentia quietly unfolds.
◇New Areas Added in Version 4.0:
Valentia has the “Valentia Court,” “Emerald Crystal,” and “White Dew” regions.
※Upon completing the third chapter of the Great Deity mission “The Lyrical Song of the Dragon and Freedom,” a teleport anchor point to “Fuhuoyou” in Mishima will be unlocked automatically (for travelers who completed related Great Deity missions before the version update, they will also be unlocked after the update). Travelers can use this anchor point to access Valentia. When the anchor point is unlocked automatically, travelers will also receive a Primogem reward for unlocking it.
▌New Mechanisms in Valentia
“Valentia’s Blessing”
A peculiar force that flows from the statues blesses the traveler, allowing them to pass through the waters of the Great Sea without hindrance.
※Currently, small items equipped by characters become ineffective when traveling underwater, and icons for these items will disappear when characters enter the water. This issue can cause travelers to have difficulty switching to other items quickly. Travelers can replace these items in their backpack or switch to items that can be used underwater before entering the water. This issue will be fixed in a future version.
▌New System in Valentia
“Ryuken Spring”
After placing the “Watermark” obtained during adventures in Valentia into the Ryuken Spring outside the Opera House, the spring’s level will increase, and valuable resources will be gained.
Conditions to unlock the “Ryuken Spring” system (any of the following conditions must be met):
Being within a certain range of the Ryuken Spring.
Completing the fourth chapter of the Great Deity mission “The Poem of White Dew and Black Tide.”
