Adventurer Season 10 officially kicks off! Unlock the Adventure Pass for brand-new Adventurer Characters, play to rank up your Tiers, earn more than 100 in-game rewards, and 1500 E-Points back!
The Adventurer Pass spans over the 10-week season and is a way for players to earn exclusive in-game rewards. By playing the game and ranking up the seasonal Adventurer Tier, players will unlock various rewards, including:
- E-points: The S10 Adventurer Pass rewards include a total of 1500 E-points! Players can spend 950 E-points to unlock the Pass and earn 1500 E-points back when they hit tier 97
- Adventurer Characters (does not affect game balance)
  - There will be three Adventurer Characters in this season. All characters have a variety of unlockable styles, and will gradually unlock as the player's Tier increases their Adventurer Pass
    - Igor (Base Character Preview)
    - Edward Miller (Base Character Preview)
    - Mancy (Preview to be revealed)
- Portraits
- Traversal equipment appearances
- Lobby music
- Loading screens
- and more!
The Adventurer Pass is separated into two parts:
- The Free Pass - all players can obtain rewards by ranking up their Adventurer Tiers without any payment
- The Adventurer Pass, which is available for 950 E-Points. E-Points are a premium in-game currency obtained with real-world money via Steam payment (1000 E-Points is equivalent to $9.99 USD)
As always, none of the rewards in the Adventurer Pass affects game balance, and all unlocked rewards stay forever
