[h3]"Land of the Eclipse" DLC Detailed Overview:[/h3]

Exotic Wayfarer: Gifts from Beyond the Desert

As tribal wars reach a stalemate, exotic merchants seize the opportunity, bringing caravans laden with goods to the Golden Market. They exchange goods for precious resources and introduce unique clothes and jewelry, offering a touch of exotic flair.





Upon entering the game, receive the "Mirror Bead," allowing on-the-fly character reshaping.




Eclipse Hive: Formidable Enemies and Legendary Equipment

In the vast desert, a group of adventurers daily hunts monsters in the fearsome Land of Eclipse. These seasoned individuals challenge formidable enemies for the treasures they guard. With the new DLC, obtain “Eclipse Clues” from exploring dungeons to get a chance to challenge the bosses. High-difficulty dungeons will reward more clues.





After obtaining the clues, go search around the major cities to look for the "Mastigure Adventurer" to submit them. For example, you will find one at the southeast of Frost Valley, in the Zagros Mountains.




As the precious "Intel" surfaces with the traces hidden in concealed clues, accumulating ten clues allows us to obtain the location details of the Boss from the Mastigure Adventurer.



Subsequently, at the same location, delivering the "Intel" to the Mastigure Adventurer enables an immediate Boss challenge. Remember to exercise caution with these formidable creatures, significantly more powerful than past foes. Unlike before, in the Land of Eclipse, we can battle the Bosses with a certain number of troops.



After defeating the Boss, be sure not to forget to pick up your loot on the ground. Once you've collected the loot, you can return to the entrance of the Land of Eclipse, where a flag inserted into the ground will appear. Clicking on the flag allows you to exit the Land of Eclipse.

In the Eclipse Hive, there are a total of 36 legendary equipment pieces to acquire, with 24 regional Bosses available for challenges.


Siege and Conquest: The Final Barrier to Defend Territories

Advancements in engineering lead to the construction of city walls, providing towns with a significant advantage against incoming foes. Now, archers can unabashedly hide behind these walls, unleashing arrows upon adversaries. Towns everywhere will boast city walls to defend against incoming threats!



City walls provide stationed units with additional attack range and damage resistance. Moreover, once the first and second defense lines are breached, the gates will close, preventing enemies from directly entering the stronghold.





As previously announced, we've crafted wall models for the six major factions and the Fire Demon faction. Engage in siege battles in the game to fully experience this aspect.

Known Issues

From previous tests, most issues have been resolved, with two exceptions to be fixed in the update soon after the DLC release:
  • The Redstone Valley dungeon, "Giant Lava Cave" does not drop Eclipse Clues.
  • In some cases, effects that increase attack speed become negative.

Feel free to join our official Discord for discussions and assistance. Experienced players share insights, and the "Feedback" channel provides one-on-one communication for issue resolution.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you thoroughly enjoy the new content in the “Land of the Eclipse” DLC!
