Event Rules
Each successfully identified Treasure Map accumulates 1 treasure hunt count. Once the event ends, global rankings will be generated based on total valid treasure hunt counts, and leaderboard rewards will be distributed accordingly.
Ranking Rule: Total valid treasure hunt count is the sole ranking metric. Higher counts grant higher placements.
Tiebreaker Rule: Among players with identical counts, whoever reached that total first ranks higher (judged by the system timestamp of their final treasure dig).
Reward Threshold: All leaderboard rewards require a minimum treasure hunt count. Players who fail to meet the threshold cannot claim rewards even if they secure a qualifying rank. Rewards will NOT roll down to other participants.
Vacant Rank Rule: If no player satisfies the threshold for a specific rank, that rank’s reward will be void and will not be passed downwards.
Global Leaderboard Rewards 🥇 1st Place (Minimum 260 identified maps): Title: Supreme Treasure Seeker ×1 + Godfrey's Shining Sword ×1 + Scroll of Summon Bane Circle (R8) ×1 🥈 2nd Place (Minimum 200 identified maps): Title: Venerable Treasure Hunter ×1 + Glass Weapon Crystal Box ×2 + Scroll of Summon Bane Circle (R7) ×1 🥉 3rd Place (Minimum 100 identified maps): Title: Master Treasure Hunter ×1 + Glass Weapon Crystal Box ×1 + Scroll of Summon Bane Circle (R6) ×1 4th ~ 6th Place (Minimum 50 identified maps): Title: Wilderness Treasure Explorer ×1 + Random Rare Ore Box ×5 7th ~ 10th Place: Title: Wilderness Treasure Explorer (30-Day Limited) ×1 + Random Rare Ore Box ×5

## II. Core Update Content
The brand-new Mine War System is officially live!
We have completely restructured mineral output mechanics. All mining nodes support free output switching, allowing you to independently select all types of ore resources for production at any mine.
Check the document \\
After tomorrow’s update, all mines will revert to neutral unclaimed status upon activation and trigger Mine Wars one after another following their scheduled activation times! Mine War System Function Description Mine War System Function Description
Mine War is the core guild PVP gameplay of the game. There are a total of 34 mining strongholds across the whole map, classified into three tiers T1-T3 based on scale and value. The system adopts the core model of "Gold Bidding Access + Guild Battlefield Contest". Guilds obtain battle eligibility via gold bidding and enter mining nodes to fight during designated activation periods. The winning side gains ownership of resource output from that mining node. The original distance-based output decay mechanism has been removed. All mining nodes follow unified tiered output standards, and overall resource production is raised compared to the original version，Miners cannot be placed temporarily..
All 34 mining nodes are divided into 3 tiers according to participant capacity and resource volume, with corresponding bidding thresholds and output scales:
Quantity: 7 nodes in total
Participant Limit: Max 20 players per single guild
Bidding Rules: Starting bid 800,000 Gold; minimum single bid increment 200,000 Gold
Contains all resource types, with the highest output in the game. Total production is increased from the original baseline with no distance decay.
Representative Nodes: ValeofNarAddad, AerathHellendroth, AeranBelendor, PlainofAshes, SouthernBattleground, WesternBattleground, BoneMarches
Quantity: 11 nodes in total
Participant Limit: Max 10 players per single guild
Bidding Rules: Starting bid 400,000 Gold; minimum single bid increment 100,000 Gold
Full range of resource types available; output equals 50% of Tier 3 mines. Total production is increased from the original baseline with no distance decay.
Representative Nodes: YmursCrown, TheDoomplain, TheBloodSands, ValkosWilds, HollochForest, TaintedSwamp, DerrosPlains, ThollokMarsh, TheBlackBog, SevaathMere, PhaedrasPrize
Quantity: 16 nodes in total
Participant Limit: Max 5 players per single guild
Bidding Rules: Starting bid 100,000 Gold; minimum single bid increment 50,000 Gold
Output equals 25% of Tier 3 mines. Total production is increased from the original baseline with no distance decay.
Representative Nodes: EcklundWilds, AurrochsSkrae, Jotensgaard, HethlandHolm, HregendWildlands, RagnirHolm, DoomhornSkrae, KralgaarHolm, GreenswardPyre, Kharsoom, LethkhalivarDesert, Grimscairne, BraedochHighlands, FellgrimForest, AedrochHighlands, AshfellPlain
A small number of nodes are Bid-Only Mines:
Tier 3 Bid-Only Mine: WesternBattleground Starting bid 800,000 Gold; minimum single bid increment 200,000 Gold
Tier 2 Bid-Only Mine: ThollokMarsh Starting bid 400,000 Gold; minimum single bid increment 100,000 Gold
Tier 1 Bid-Only Mines Starting bid 100,000 Gold; minimum single bid increment 50,000 Gold
Mine Wars for all nodes launch in fixed daily batches, covering core active hours in morning and evening. Each window opens one Tier 3, one Tier 2 and one Tier 1 mine simultaneously to ensure guilds of all sizes can participate.
Morning Batches: 08:00, 09:00, 10:00 (3 batches)
Evening Batches: 19:00, 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 23:00 (5 batches)
Low-tier mines operate during remaining hours (midnight & noon) to guarantee all-day resource supply
Each Mine War lasts 30 minutes (1800 seconds)
Regular mines refresh on an approximately 23.5-hour cycle and reopen at fixed daily times
Once Mine A is captured, it will reset to neutral unclaimed status at the same time the next day. Guilds must re-bid to recapture it.
Only Guild Council Officers and higher-ranking members may register and place bids via the designated NPC.
Parent guilds and sub-guilds hold independent registration rights. They do not share bidding quotas and compete separately.
Blind sealed bid / real-time incremental bidding is adopted. Bids are submitted per guild. The two guilds with the highest bids after the bidding phase gain battle eligibility.
Bid gold is deducted directly from the backpack of the submitting officer. All bids submitted by multiple officers count toward the total bid value of their guild.
Failed Auction Rule: If fewer than 2 valid guilds submit bids for a session, the auction fails. Registration reopens at the same time the next day and will not restart on the same day. Important Note: All submitted bid gold is non-refundable, whether your guild obtains battle rights or not.
Certain special nodes operate under bid-only mode with no battlefield combat required.
The highest-bidding guild gains full resource ownership of the node immediately after bidding closes, with no battle needed.
Resources are automatically delivered to the guild vault 30 minutes after the bidding phase ends.
Members of the two winning bid guilds can teleport into the Mine War zone via the registration NPC during active battle hours.
Each guild has an exclusive fixed teleport spawn pair for every mine node, yet the assigned spawn point for each guild randomizes every war. The two factions spawn at different coordinates to avoid instant clashes at launch.
Once the Mine War officially activates, all players inside the mine adventure zone will receive an evacuation prompt and be forcibly teleported back to town without retaining their current position.
The Mine War lasts 30 minutes. The guild holding the node’s core zone when time expires wins and secures exclusive resource output rights.
After victory, the winning guild continuously receives periodic resource yields matching the mine’s tier standard until the next Mine War cycle starts.
Resource rewards are distributed in unified fixed cycles, unaffected by the player’s distance from the mine. The old distance decay mechanic is fully removed.
During active Mine War sessions, only members of the two competing guilds may stay in the mine zone; third-party guilds cannot enter to interfere. Any group exceeding the guild participant cap will be instantly teleported back to guild territory upon entry. Please adjust your participating team size reasonably!
All mine names adopt original English identifiers from your configuration file, no free translation.
Game industry standard MMO terminology for Steam Western players: guild vault, blind sealed bid, participant cap, tiered output, non-refundable bid gold.
Numerical values converted to full digit format (800,000 Gold) conforming to Western reading habits.
Sentence logic simplified slightly without cutting any original rule details, suitable for Steam community posts / in-game item description text.
This update adds exclusive stat bonuses to the title set \ to boost character progression gains.

Mine War rewards have been fully upgraded; all ore types can drop from mine battles. Mines will be split into multiple tiers. Manual spawn timers are removed, replaced with scheduled batch spawns by the system.
All mine nodes adopt a bid sign-up system that pairs two competing teams. Battle sizes scale to 5 / 10 / 20 players based on mine tier, reworking open-world resource competition. (Full rules will be released in a dedicated follow-up announcement.)
A dedicated NPC Escort Quest Ambassador has been added to Greattree City. Each account has 3 daily escort attempts. Spend a small amount of gold to accept random Low, Mid, or High-value cargo carts. Deliver the cargo to a random mining zone within 30 minutes to earn Bronze Coins, with a chance for double rewards.
Full open-world free PVP bandit gameplay is active during escorts. Successful hijacking lets you steal rival resources, creating open-world competitive gameplay. (Full rules will be released in a dedicated follow-up announcement.)
The classic mass siege game mode is on its way with abundant rewards. Detailed mechanics will be shared in a later announcement.
The game officially launches a permanent 6-month long season cycle. All season servers are non-wiping. New seasons will launch brand-new servers and exclusive seasonal content, while the current S1 server will be preserved permanently for veteran players.
Your game client will update automatically once maintenance concludes. Restart the game to experience all new optimizations. Stay tuned for more exciting upcoming content!

This item is limited to one purchase per character per day. Upon purchase, it becomes character-bound and cannot be traded. If kept in the backpack, it will not be lootable by other players even if the character falls and drops a grave bag — it is completely safe. However, please note that if the character is killed while the double experience effect is active, the effect will be removed. Additionally, this item can only be stored with the Banker and cannot be deposited with the Storage Keeper.
