I. New Area

New Area – Dragonspine

  • New Area – Dragonspine: Travelers will be able to put their adventuring skills to the test in the Subzero Climate of the all-new Dragonspine area. Here, Travelers will discover a whole new exploration experience, filled with various puzzles as well as new quests and mechanisms awaiting at every turn.
  • New Mechanics – Subzero Climate: Characters in Subzero Climate will continuously accumulate Sheer Cold. When Sheer Cold reaches its limit, they will start losing HP. Bonfires, torches, and other sources of heat will diminish Sheer Cold. Certain conditions like Snowstorms and actions like swimming will accelerate Sheer Cold’s accumulation.

New Feature of Dragonspine: Frostbearing Tree

  • The ancient tree that should have slumbered forever under the ice and snow has sprouted scarlet sprouts anew. Offer the Crimson Agates scattered all over Dragonspine to this tree, and you may obtain just rewards in return…
  • While exploring Dragonspine, Travelers will sometimes stumble upon crystalline Crimson Agate, which can be offered to the Frostbearing Tree. Doing so will level up the Frostbearing Tree, granting Travelers various rewards that include Acquaint Fate, Intertwined Fate, a wind glider, Mora, Weapon EXP Materials, Character EXP Materials, Talent Level-Up Materials, and Gadget diagrams. As the Frostbearing Tree grows, so too will its desire for power. With its system of roots that spread out throughout Dragonspine, it will periodically discover new sources of Crimson Agate.

Heed its desire and collect Crimson Agate throughout the mountain!

New Domain of Dragonspine – Peak in Vindagnyr

  • This city entombed in snow once had a proud, romantic name to call its own, just as the mountain itself was once lush and verdant in the ancient past. But after the nail that froze the skies over descended upon this mountain, the priests who ascended the altar to face the heavens can no longer hear its voice, nor will they ever return again.
  • Challenge the Domain to receive artifacts from the Blizzard Strayer, Heart of Depth, and other sets.

II. New Characters

  • Vision: Geo

  • A genius known as the Kreideprinz, he is the Chief Alchemist and Captain of the Investigation Team of the Knights of Favonius.

When an enemy takes DMG within its range, a Transient Blossom is generated, dealing additional Geo DMG. The center of the Solar Isotoma can also provide a crystallized platform to elevate characters.
  • Elemental Burst “Rite of Progeniture: Tectonic Tide” – Deals AoE Geo DMG in a wide area, and also generates Fatal Blossoms in the Solar Isotoma zone, causing additional Geo DMG.
