[Announcement] May 21st Developer Notes
Hello, Heroes of Bermesiah!
The long-running Awakening update has finally come to an end.
Thanks to many heroes, we've received a lot of support and feedback that allowed us to finalize the update.
We hope the Awakening update was an opportunity to empower various characters and enjoy a new purpose in game.
The GrandChase Team is preparing content updates in the second half of the year to bring you new and exciting experiences.
We will reveal more about the content update as we continue development. Please look forward to the new updates.
Before we go forward with the content updates in the later half of the year, we plan to go forward with improvements in player experience and quality of life.
The dev team has taken into account various suggestions and requests since the last survey. We will go through 2 separate patches to cover various improvements.
The 1st quality of life changes will take place on May 28, 2025.
■ 3 Hero Dungeon Reset Period and Count Changes

- 'Dimension Guardians Earring Fragment' and 'Dimension Guardians Piercing Fragment' can be moved to the Warehouse.
- Upon clearing The Great Explosion of Kounat, players can acquire new material items.
New material items can be combined with 'Dimension Core', and 'Dimension Guardians Earring & Piercing (Legendary)' to craft 'Another World's Chaos Earring & Piercing'.
- Dismantling 'Another World's Chaos Earring & Piercing' will also provide new material items.
■ Raid Dungeon Improvement

- With the reward count changes, a new repeat mission will be added for each character.
- Raid Repeat Mission condition will be changed from 3 times to 2 times.

- An option to control all sound volumes will be added.
- An option to control the transparency of the player's and party members' damage fonts.
■ Room Master Promotion Function
- A function where the room master can promote a party member to be room master will be added.
■ Room Character Swap Improvement
- Players will be able to swap characters while in a room and with no time limit.
Lastly, we would like to provide information regarding additional compensation related to the probability issue with the 'Seal Breaker Scroll'.
Following the previous round of compensation, we received feedback from players requesting that compensation be based on actual usage rather than just purchases.
After reviewing these requests, we have prepared an additional compensation plan that takes both purchase and usage into account, as outlined below.
Below is a breakdown of compensation eligibility and how it is calculated:
- Players who purchased the 'Seal Breaker Scroll' using either free VP or paid VP until February 27, 2023.
Players who have a record of using the scrolls during the period from August 3, 2022 - February 27, 2023.
- For eligible players, 10% of the number of scrolls used during the affected period will be calculated as the 'usage-based compensation amount'.
- The minimum compensation amount is 10 scrolls. If fewer than 10 scrolls were used, the compensation will match the actual number of scrolls used.
- Based on this, we will compare the previously granted 'purchase-based compensation amount' with the newly calculated 'usage-based compensation amount'. If the usage-based amount is higher, the difference will be provided as additional compensation.
We will strive to create the best experience possible.
Thank you.
