Lightforge: Choose 1 of 3 Rules
Availability: May 8 - June 4
Multiple Lightforge Loot Crates are back. Freely choose one to open!
1) You can now claim tiered collection rewards based on how many Lightforge Collection items you've obtained from each crate.
2) Same drop rates, carried-over progress:
- All original crate rules remain unchanged, including drop rates, prices, and guarantee mechanics. For details, refer to the specific Lightforge Crate rules.
- In this round, each of the three crates guarantees 1 Lightforge Collection item within 30 draws.
- If you've participated in a previous rerun of the same theme, your guarantee progress will carry over. For example, if you've drawn 10 times before, your new count will start from 10/30.
3) You're free to choose one of this round's three themed Lightforge Loot Crates to purchase.
- You may select one of the three themed crates to begin drawing or redeeming. Progress is shared across all characters under the same account, and only one crate can be selected for purchase.
- As long as you haven't started drawing or redeeming, you can freely switch between crates.
4) If you've collected all Lightforge Collection items from your selected crate, click the interface to claim the corresponding completion rewards.
Specific Lightforge Crate Rules
While the Lightforge Loot Crates are available, you can spend Lightforge Ingots to open them. Each Loot Crate is guaranteed to yield cosmetics. Only one character under each account can redeem and open a single Loot Crate, but the cosmetics from the Loot Crate can be used by all characters under that account. You can use different characters for different crates.
1) The Lightforge Loot Crates are available for a limited time and will be removed after the event ends. Unused Lightforge Ingots and Lightforge Relics will remain available in your account and can be used for other Lightforge Loot Crates.
2) Each crate opening costs 1 Lightforge Ingot, valued at 160 Crystgins. The first 10 Lightforge Ingot purchases will be at half price. Each crate randomly grants a cosmetic reward. Once the maximum number of crate openings is reached, further openings are not allowed.
3) Crate rewards marked as "Lightforge Collection" have special guarantees:
- Every 30 crates guarantees one "Lightforge Collection" item without duplicates. Once obtained, it will be removed from the prize pool, increasing the odds of other rewards.
- When a Lightforge Collection item is drawn, the guarantee counter resets, and the next one can be obtained within 30 crate openings.
- After all Lightforge Collection items are drawn, the guarantee no longer applies, and only other repeatable rewards can be obtained.
* If you obtain a Lightforge Collection item through redemption, you may still draw it from the crate, but duplicates will refund the redemption cost in full.
4) Non-Lightforge Collection cosmetics may be drawn multiple times. Duplicates will be converted into Lightforge Relics, which can be used to redeem for other Lightforge Loot Crate cosmetics in the current or other events, as well as for limited Lightforge Ingots and Colorful Badges.

Dear Metas,
To combat cheating and the malicious exploitation of bugs, we have implemented the following measures:
1. We will monitor the game for unusual behavior 24/7 and respond promptly to player reports.
2. Players confirmed to be using cheats will face severe penalties, including long-term account bans.
3. We place a high priority on fixing bugs and enhancing game security. Malicious exploitation of bugs will not be tolerated. After fixing a bug, we will retroactively penalize players who exploited it and reclaim any illicit gains.

Below is a list of players recently penalized for severe violations. The accounts involved have been reviewed and confirmed to be in violation.
1. Language violations
From April 1st to May 5th, a total of 1564 players received bans of varying durations for language violations:
30 days — 44 players
7 days — 115 players
1 day — 898 players
2 hours — 507 players
(Due to space limitations, we do not provide the list of players banned for speech violations.)
2. Use of cheats or hacks
We will identify the characteristics of newly discovered cheats and use them for retroactive investigations. After banning an account, we will check if it has any associated alt accounts and ban those as well.
The following is the list of players penalized for using cheats or hacks from April 1st to May 5th:

Dear Metas,

Since the Version 1.5.1 update, we have closely monitored server performance issues and implemented multiple optimizations. Our technical analysis has shown that, during certain events in scenarios with the Lunar Oracle tag, high player density and frequent Deviant spawns can cause a sudden spike in server load, impacting the network stability of other scenario servers.

To tackle this, we are making a targeted adjustment to the Deviant invasion events in Lunar Oracle scenarios, as follows: During a Deviant invasion event, if there are more than 30 players within a 120-meter radius (not all players may be visible due to performance limitations), the Deviant invasion will be temporarily paused to reduce server load. This adjustment will be implemented in an upcoming update, and we will monitor its impact to make further changes as needed.

At the same time, we will continue optimizing the server architecture to improve stability and enhance your experience. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we make these changes.

If you encounter any issues, please contact us via the Co-Dev Feedback Platform or the in-game Customer Support. Your feedback helps us keep Nalcott running smoothly.

Dear Metas,

Since the official release across all platforms, we've received extensive feedback from Meta-Humans regarding mobile graphics issues. In response to the recent feedback about graphics quality and frame rates, our technical team has completed the first round of optimizations (no server maintenance required—simply restart the client to apply the updates). Here are the specific adjustments:

[Released Fixes]
1. High frame rate and high graphics settings are now separately adjustable on select mid-to-high-end devices. Optimization for other devices is still ongoing and will be released once ready.
* Note: Enabling both high frame rate and high graphics at the same time may cause overheating or lag. Please adjust settings based on your device's performance. Further optimizations are on the way.
2. Graphics upgrade: Improved rendering effects for certain graphics presets.
3. Significantly improved terrain precision and texture clarity.
4. Enabled image sharpening on certain devices for clearer edges.
5. Resolution adaptation: Improved rendering resolution for large-screen devices.

[Future Optimization Plans]
We are aware of ongoing lag and performance issues. We've created a dedicated task force to address them, and we will share updates as soon as testing is complete.

If you encounter any issues, please contact us through in-game Customer Support. Our team will investigate each case carefully. Thank you for your patience and support. We wish you a smooth journey across Nalcott!
