The adjustments below apply only during this test period and do not represent the final tuning.

I. Rift Traversal New Chapter: Stormchant (Part 1)

In the last years of the Qin dynasty, forced labor grew crushing and refugees rose across the land. Liu Bang, the pavilion chief of Sishui, was escorting convicts to Mount Li when so many fled that he released the rest at Fengxi Marsh, then slipped with his followers into the Mangdang Mountains to escape the pursuing Qin army. There he heard rumors of a "Serpent God made manifest" spreading through the hills — rumors that drew crowds of believers, and worse, strange figures who used the Serpent God's name to deceive villagers and prey on the innocent. Seeing the chaos, Liu Bang led his followers into the mountains, determined to root out the menace…

1. Map Gameplay

  • The Stormchant chapter continues the dual-world mechanic: Outerworld is in Co-op Mode and Innerworld is in Rival Mode.
  • The map is split into two levels — surface and underground — and you can switch between them from the map interface.

2. In-Match Quests

  • Normal Quests: Added the in-match Normal Quests [Covert Delivery] (密送, literal translation), [Tomb Delving] (探陵, literal translation), [Book Hunt] (寻书, literal translation), and [Clear]. Completing them rewards the corresponding Crates and Relics.
  • Serpent God Warden: Team up to slay the Serpent God Warden (蛇神镇守, literal translation), the boss in the Shaohao Altar (少昊神坛, literal translation) area of the Outerworld. Collect Serpent God tokens from quests; place any two of them on the Shaohao Altar to force the Warden to reveal itself, then defeat it to open a White Emperor Crate (白帝秘匣, literal translation). The party that deals the most damage to the boss earns a bonus Crate.
  • Awaken Liu Bang: After defeating the Stone Statue General (石俑将军, literal translation) in the hidden chamber, a purple aura will guide you to Liu Bang. Find him unconscious, undo the 3 seals, and you'll awaken him — activating a special extraction point.

3. In-Match Gameplay

Pagoda Tree God (槐神爷, literal translation): In the Outerworld, all heroes can offer their spare Relics to the Pagoda Tree God. Based on the heroes' accumulated fortune, it grants a global Blessing that only takes effect in the Outerworld. The Blessing effect is random each match.

Blessing list:

  1. Tier 1 Blessing – Defeating enemies has a chance to drop extra items.
  2. Tier 1 Blessing – Completing in-match quests in the Outerworld grants bonus Void Coin.
  3. Tier 1 Blessing – Each time you open a Lootable Container, gain extra Void Coin.
  4. Tier 1 Blessing – +10% damage to Monsters.
  5. Tier 1 Blessing – +10% damage-to-Rage conversion efficiency.
  6. Tier 1 Blessing – Escaping from the Outerworld grants bonus Void Coin.
  7. Tier 2 Blessing – Greatly increases the chance of finding extra high-value Relics.
  8. Tier 2 Blessing – Raises the Outerworld High Roller value (豪客值, literal translation) cap.

Bulletin Board: Outerworld heroes can view and accept the currently available Contracts and claim rewards on completion.

Spirit Deer (灵鹿, literal translation): Wanders randomly through both worlds. Feed it any item and it returns a random one; feed it something it likes and there's a chance to put it in an even better mood, at which point petting it earns you better items.

Cursed Relics (凶煞遗珍, literal translation): While searching Lootable Containers in the Innerworld's Dangshan Royal Tomb (砀山王陵, literal translation), there's a chance to find a chest wreathed in a fierce curse. Picking it up reveals your location to all players; head to a Curse-Breaking Platform (破煞台, literal translation) to break the curse, and on success your whole party earns a hefty reward.

Hallucinogenic Mist (迷幻雾, literal translation): The underground tomb area of the Innerworld is filled with Hallucinogenic Mist. Once your hallucination gauge hits the threshold, it continuously drains your Health. Find a Soul-calming Bronze Bell (镇魂铜铃, literal translation) to remove the debuff and gain temporary immunity to the effect.

Serpent God afterimage: While the Serpent God Warden hasn't been defeated, its afterimage roams the tomb area, launching random attacks on heroes.

Nightglow Pearl Puzzle: After capturing a special Stronghold in the Outerworld and opening a White Emperor Crate, you obtain a Nightglow Pearl. Take it to the Dangshan Royal Tomb and use it to solve a mechanism, unlocking a hidden chamber.

Seller Sincere's Shop: Seller Sincere has opened a new gameplay stall in Stormchant for heroes to pass the time. Bet on heads or tails of two Void Coins for up to 4x Relic odds.

Rift Gate Compass: Purchasable from the in-match Rift Dealer. Once used, it points you toward a hidden Rift Gate.

Beyond these, there are several more puzzle mechanics for players to discover and explore on their own.

4. New Camp Merchant

  • Zhao Shiniao has left camp. After completing the Season Quests [Letter from an Old Friend] (故人来信, literal translation) and [Seek the Sage] (寻访方士, literal translation), the camp unlocks a new Travelling Merchant, Huang Jikao (黄吉考), who helps players reach an Epiphany into the mysteries hidden deep within Qin–Han Relics.
  • Grasping a Relic's Mystery unlocks a corresponding Exclusive ability.
  • Grasping the most essential Mystery of each Relic unlocks a season-exclusive Combat Item.

This season has three season-exclusive Combat Items: Curio · Body Corrosion, Curio · Perfect Jade, and Curio · Life Formation.

  • Curio · Body Corrosion (奇物•蚀体, literal translation): For 600 sec after use, hitting an enemy with a Melee Weapon reduces their max Health by 2.8%, stacking up to 15 times and lasting 30 sec.
  • Curio · Perfect Jade (奇物•完璧, literal translation): On use, grants the quest series [Tracking the Priceless Treasure] (至宝寻踪, literal translation); completing all of them rewards a Crate.
  • Curio · Life Formation (奇物•生阵, literal translation): On use, deploys a movable barrier; while it exists, allied teammates cannot be defeated by lethal damage. The barrier lasts 20 sec.

Seasonal Combat Items cannot be traded at the MARKET. When the season ends, Huang Jikao departs and all related Epiphany progress and abilities reset — but any Combat Items you've already obtained are kept.

5. Escort Codex Gets a Major Update

  • Spend Void Coin to open the [Mangdang Volume] (芒砀卷, literal translation) for instant access to all kinds of Traveler-mode items — plus a chance to win the weapon skin Serpent-Cleaving Blade!
  • The Void Coin cost to open the [Escort Codex] rises with each open; every Thursday at 04:00 the required amount resets to its initial value.
  • Each Codex open grants Score. Once your accumulated Score hits set thresholds, you're guaranteed Celestia equipment crafting materials and the Serpent-Cleaving Blade skin!
  • When opening the Codex, you can add extra Relics to speed up unlocking the Serpent-Cleaving Blade skin.
  • Opening the Codex has a chance to drop the Score item 「Poem Ink·Stormchant」. Each one collected lights up one character of the poem on the interface; once all are lit, you can claim a large amount of Score, after which the poem progress resets.
  • Replaced some of the Extreme Rubrics, Extreme Collectibles, and keys in the [Qiantang Volume].

6. New Collectibles

Added 6 new collectibles — the Serpent-Cleaving Blade, Mr. He's Jade, Starmap Codex, Lotus-Crane Vessel, Bronze Goose-and-Fish Lamp (青铜雁鱼缸灯, literal translation), and Marrowgaze Mirror — each with its own Examine animation!

7. Wonder Chest Upgrade

  • The existing [Wonder Chest] in the Radiant Lotus has been upgraded to the [Premium Wonder Chest]; the old Wonder Chest no longer drops.
  • Opening a Premium Wonder Chest lets you pick one of: Deluxe Void Coin Giftbox ×1, Imprint Roller ×1, Jade Disk ×40, or 5x Showdown Season XP Bonus ×2.
  • Using a Deluxe Void Coin Giftbox grants 4,200,000 Void Coin, with a small chance of also getting a random Celestia Material Crate.

8. New System: Bank

  • Added a [Bank] system to the [Event Center] for transferring currency between the PC game's Rift Traversal and the mobile game's Shadow Gold Rush (侠影夺金, literal translation). You can bring money earned on mobile over to spend on PC, or send PC money to spend on mobile.
  • Sending from PC to mobile costs a [Golden Leaf Pact], which auto-converts to Golden Leaves when the other side claims it; sending from mobile to PC costs [The Betwixt], and you claim the Void Coin at the Bank on PC.
  • At the Thursday 04:00 (UTC+8) reset, any Golden Leaf Pact / The Betwixt sent the previous week that hasn't been claimed is returned to the Bank. Once sent, a Golden Leaf Pact becomes bound, and stays bound even after being withdrawn.
  • Golden Leaf Pacts can be earned in matches or from the MARKET. The amount you can send is capped weekly: for every 7 million in extracted value, your send cap rises by 1, up to a weekly cap of 20, resetting Thursday 04:00 (UTC+8).
