1. New Content: Hero's Path

New content, the Hero's Path, has been added.
The Hero's Path can be accessed upon creating a new character. The content focuses on character-specific tutorials and combat, allowing for rapid leveling up to Lv. 115 without tedious story progression.
After creating a new character and finishing the prologue, entering Colhen will cause the designated UI to pop up, allowing you to choose between two ways of growing your character: Regular Story Progress or the Hero's Path.

When selecting Hero's Path, tutorial and combat will proceed based on a condensed story, divided into 3 seasons as follows:
- During each Hero's Path season, stats, skill acquisition, and ranks are automatically adjusted.
- Until the end of season 3, growth-related features such as normal battle departure, equipment enhancement and Tuning, play guide missions, skill learning, and rank advancement will remain inactive.
- At the end of every Hero's Path season, you can obtain a reward chest. From the reward chest, you can acquire items appropriate for the season's progression difficulty and content.
Upon completing all 3 seasons of the Hero's Path, you will receive the Hero's Path completion reward, including Supplied Equipment.
Items obtained while progressing through the Hero's Path and items obtained upon character creation will be automatically recovered.
You can depart for the Hero's Path using Depart(Shortcut Key: G). If you leave the battle midway, you can restart from the point where you left off.

2. New Content: Hero's Leap

New content, 'Hero's Leap,' has been added.
Hero's Leap is a mission-based content. After reaching Lv. 115, the Hero's Leap supports your growth up until 'The One Who Protects the Altar' battle.
Hero's Leap is available from after the official server maintenance on January 13th, until before the official server maintenance on April 28th.
Hero's Leap can be accessed by selecting one character, per account, of Lv. 115 or higher.
- When new characters are released, the available Hero's Leap count will increase by one.
- Characters who have received equipment sharing cannot initiate Hero's Leap, and characters currently undergoing Hero's Leap cannot receive equipment sharing.
Hero's Leap can be accessed by clicking the Hero's Leap button in the bottom right corner of the game.

Hero's Leap missions are categorized into Growth, Deployment, and Town Missions. Completing each mission grants rewards that are bound to the character.
- Hero's Leap challenges can be attempted by characters who have completed all growth and deployment missions.
If your character has already completed the mission requirements (including challenges) at the start of Hero's Leap, you can receive the rewards immediately.
However, the following two missions that can be completed by purchasing items from the Ardri Seal Shop will be Auto Completed and the completion rewards will not be available if a character has no remaining quantities for purchase in the exchange shop.

3. New Content: Shadow's Castle

3.1 Battle

New content, Shadow's Castle, has been added.
In the Shadow's Castle, players earn a rank and corresponding rewards based on the DPS recorded by their character against a total of 3 bosses within a time limit (45 seconds per boss).
The Shadow Castle can be accessed by Lv. 115+ characters through Depart → Challenge → Shadow's Castle, or through Board → Other Regions → Tir Na Scath region, to start matchmaking.
Shadow's Castle matchmaking takes place from the top of every hour until 10 minutes past, and you can depart for battle once the 6-player matchmaking is complete.
Every Tuesday from 07:00 AM - 07:10 AM is data settlement time, during which matchmaking is restricted.
You can depart up to 3 times per week (combined across characters sharing equipment), and departure counts are deducted at the start of battle.

The stats for bosses appearing in Shadow's Castle are as follows.

The first Shadow's Castle will be held as a pre-season to collect character DPS data and stabilize content.
During the pre- season, the DPS-based rank brackets and achievement rewards are simplified compared to the regular season.

In Shadow's Castle, a weapon performance adjustment system is implemented to ensure all weapons can perform under equal conditions.
A status effect is applied just before the weekly reset. This effect compensates for weapon-specific DPS differences by calculating the average damage output of the weekly top 1% in Shadow's Castle for each weapon.
- When calculating average damage output, the damage is recalculated excluding equipment stats, and is then calculated based on this adjusted value.
- This status effect increases maximum damage up to 50% as a final damage ratio increase. This value will be adjusted weekly, based on actual DPS differences.
During the first week of the official server update on January 13th (Tue), status effects will be applied based on DPS data from Royal Army battles, which most closely resemble Shadow's Castle battles.

All status effects are applied in Shadow's Castle.
The character begins combat with both SP and MP gauges fully charged.
Both Comrades and Pets are deactivated upon entering Shadow's Castle.
Transformation skills (Paladin & Dark Knight) and Friendship Skills cannot be used. Suppression and stun skills can be used, but their effects will not apply to the boss.

3.2 Rank Achievement Boxes

In Shadow's Castle, you can earn rewards based on the DPS rank you achieve.
In the first battle of the week, you receive all rewards for lower ranks up to the rank you achieved. If you reattempt and achieve a higher rank than before, you receive additional rewards equal to the difference in ranks.
The DPS, and rewards by rank, which will be applied during the pre-season are as follows:
