[h2]Components as Items[/h2]
There is currently an issue where customers can sell bizarre, impossible items such as single components (that are then stored in the item inventory), quality components, Fresh Spirits or even just nothing at all (but Flawless, somehow).

As part of this server update, all such items will be deleted from inventories and removed from Market slots upon login to prevent further issues. In addition, seller customers (but not city NPCs) will be disabled for a short period of time to prevent further items from being generated. A client update will follow suit with a permanent fix as well as re-enabling seller visitors.

[h2]Christmas Content Pass[/h2]

Ho ho ho! Are you kids ready to collect Candy Canes? This Content Pass is similar to the Bjorn Content Pass, featuring antique content alongside a shorter duration. It begins on December 22nd and runs through January 8th.

As a special bonus, the event also features a Talent Point (or 100 Ascension Shards if you already own all of them). There’s also the Santa Claus/Mrs. Claus secret title for those brave shopkeepers who manage to complete every task!

[h2]Champion Stories[/h2]
Sia’s story has concluded! The swan flies free!

[h2]Upcoming Seasonal Content[/h2]
[h3]Holiday Collection & Free Worker Gifts[/h3]
A collection of festive decorations, customizations and more will be available starting December 14th and running through December 25th.

The workers in town will also be getting into the holiday spirit and will offer up their usual goods for free when visiting your shop.

[h3]Winter Snow Returns[/h3]

[h2]Dragon Invasion[/h2]
Dragon Invasion has earned a bad (but well deserved) reputation for being a buggy event. Seems like something would go wrong with every other month! And whenever we’d fix that, something else would break like a never ending game of whack-a-mole.

For this update, we’ve taken the time to completely re-code it from scratch. Though it is not any different visually, it should run a lot smoother and be much, much more stable from here on out.

As an added bonus, the event leaderboard now supports the display of scores for every phase individually.

[h2]Guildmate Shop Visits[/h2]
The system will now try to prioritize guildmates that have logged in most recently, reducing the odds of a guildmate you can’t visit because they’re playing a different (out-of-date) version of the game.

• Added two new possible blueprint upgrades: Bonus Favor and Bonus Airship Power. These improve an item’s score value during their respective events. It is not retroactively added to current items (with some exceptions below) but future items may rarely make use of them.
  
• In Portrait mode, the two arrows used to cycle between customers at the counter are now found at the bottom of the screen, near the “Wait” button. We found it quite a bit more comfortable on the thumb, and they no longer poke off-screen when handling big value items.
  
• An error message will now appear when attempting to claim a multicraft that would overflow your inventory.
  
• When dusting a guildmate’s shop, Furniture and Pets now have an equal chance at being selected for dusting instead of Pets being prioritized.
  

• The following Blueprints have received an Airship Power blueprint upgrade: Propeller-Pike, Baross’ Backup, Sky Pirate Outfit, Dragonseeker Goggles. In every case, the upgrade it replaces has been integrated into the base blueprint’s statistics.
  

King Reinhold will be available as a Guest Champion on January 8th until the 11th.
(and also available December 11th-14th!)

• Fixed a bug preventing Avatar: The Last Airbender blueprints from being favorited.
  
• Fixed an issue where a reward could erroneously appear as claimable in Dragon Invasion and King’s Caprice.

• Fixed Barbarians being able to equip Instruments instead of Berserkers.
  
  • Barbarians who have an instrument equipped will have it returned to the inventory.
    
  • Barbarians with the Adept and/or Instrument Master skills will have them automatically replaced with the Warlord and Axe Master skills, respectively.
    

[h2]New Premium Worker[/h2]

Yohan the Bard has joined the city! He’s a bit shy, but he’ll do his best! He is available for hire for players of level 18 or higher.

Yohan brings with him two new blueprint lines; magical Instruments and the mighty Aurasongs. On top of that, his Worker Power allows the upgrade of two furniture at the same time!

[h2]Instruments[/h2]

Chimes and Drums have hit the shops! This new premium blueprint line features a wide variety of instruments such as trumpets, guitars and even the mighty triangle. Because of this, the resource types required for them can vary wildly from one item to another.

Instruments also have a special shop effect! Whenever purchased by a customer, that person will play a few notes before departing. Nearby characters (except Rudo) will love it and grant you a tiny bit of free energy!

Instruments are a type of magical weapon and can be equipped by most Spellcasters. A few other classes, such as Dancers (due to their connection with music) and Berserkers (because it’s funny) can also equip them.

[h2]Aurasongs[/h2]

Aurasongs are special gemstones enchanted with music. Similar to Familiars, they can only be equipped by Champions (in a dedicated equipment slot) and provide them with a unique Aura. The Aurasong grants stat bonuses to Champions, but the Aura also grants a bonus to the whole party. Each Aura has their own effect!

Like Familiars, although no Hero class can equip them, some daring customers will occasionally ask to buy them.

[h2]Champion Titan Soul[/h2]

Officially revealed as part of the Black Friday offer, the Champion Titan Soul is now available as a fusion recipe. It’s a tough one, though!

The Champion Titan Soul itself is a special variant of the Titan Soul. It can be used on any Champion to grant them a major stat boost! Upon upgrade, the Champion receives bonus stats equal to two rank-ups. In addition, all stats received from rank-ups (past and future) receive a 50% boost!

Creating a Champion Titan Soul requires a very difficult fusion! It lands squarely in the “endgame grind” for advanced players. The recipe is the following:

• 2x Titan Souls
  
• 1x Legendary Item (T10+)
  
• 5x Mythic XP Drinks
  
• 10x Phoenix Feathers
  
• 300x Perfect Moonstones
  

You'll also need a level 37 Sun Dragon before attempting the fusion. Good luck!*

No actual luck is involved, the fusion does not have a chance to fail.

• The city has expanded! Things were getting a bit tight in there, so the layout has been updated to make more space for the Bard and future newcomers. There’s a beach now!
  
• When buying an item in the Antique Store or Fortune Store, its slot will instantly be restocked instead of going on a cooldown.
  

• Reduced the maximum tier of items requested by Champions to 10.
  

King Reinhold will be available as a Guest Champion on December 11th until the 14th.

• Fixed the Quality Event actually preventing qualities altogether (a recent issue that was quickly followed with us disabling the event). It now stacks normally with other quality upgrades, with +100% being the equivalent of a 2x Quality chance blueprint upgrade.
  
• Fixed a bug where Ashley’s leader skill would sometimes result in extreme stat penalties in the Tower of Titans.
  
• As part of the same bug, also fixed Ashley’s leader skill doubling ATK, DEF and Quest Time bonuses from other sources (Such as Boosters).
  
• Fixed a rare crash when cycling through Hero equipment.
  
• Fixed jittery scrolling when looking at the guild friendship menu.
  
• Clarified the effect of the Flawless Process talent.
  
• Fixed a few Talents not properly becoming available after unlocking Stones Left Unturned.
  
• Applied a permanent fix for the occasional mismatched market value of some items.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Defenders of the Kingdom talent would grant unimaginable amounts of Airship Power.
  

[h2]“All” Affinity[/h2]
This unusual affinity type receives minor Affinity bonuses from any element (half the usual bonuses of regular affinity and +5 Element from any element). It is typically exclusive to blueprints that change color depending on the element placed upon them.

Currently, it is only found on the Iced FlavorPop, but a few blueprints in the future may share this trait.

[h2]Other Minor Changes[/h2]

• Much like Dragon Invasion, Lost City of Gold and the King’s Caprice rewards can now be rushed using Gems once the event is over.
  
• When declining to use a locked or higher quality item in a Champion Request, the option to craft or buy the item from the Market will now appear.
  
• The progress animation in the Collection Book will no longer be skipped.
  

• The Fateweaver (Titan Chronomancer) now grants the party a power boost equal to a basic Power Booster upon activating its Retry ability.
  
• Champion requests now scale with the player’s tier progress, rather than the amount of times a player has served a particular Champion.
  
• A single quest battle is now limited to 500 rounds, after which you will fail the quest. This is to prevent potential softlocks and issues with the quest preview system. (This change was included in the previous update though we failed to mention it).
  

King Reinhdold will be available as a guest champion November 13th until the 15th.

• Fixed a bug causing some Heroes to still be considered “on the airship” after Dragon Invasion ended.
  
• Fixed a few instances where the “Back” keybind would not properly exit out of some celebration screens.

• Fixed a few cases where users could be stuck in the Fusion tutorial.
  
• Fixed keybinds not working on the "Resource Received" celebration screen.
  
• The Void Creature monster has been demoted from Tower of Titans duties. He’s just too big :(
  
• Fixed a minor display issue with the color of the "Unlock with Key" text in the Chest Opening screen.
  
• Fixed a rare issue where the Chest Opening screen UI would persist in the Shop or City.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Merchant Level Up celebration screen would display a Hero Slot already acquired through a Content Pass as newly unlocked.
  
• Fixed a scrolling issue when assigning Heroes to an Airship Crew in Dragon Invasion.
  
• Fixed some menus not taking into account the Defenders of the Kingdom talent.
  
• Fixed an instance where locked items would not appear in the Collection Book for donation.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur for some Flash Quests causing the quest to be unclaimable.
