PWCN has announced that the next expansion will be released on August 14, 2024, for the Chinese servers. Here are some details about the update:

Celestial Memoire Event

This is an annual event, which has not been activated in PWI for some reason. It is notable for encouraging significant spending by players.

PVE Changes

The damage limit in dungeons will be removed.
Boss attributes will be adjusted.
All classes will undergo skill adjustments to align with the new dungeon changes.
Some weapons will receive the Slaying Level attribute, and some armors will gain the Warding Level attribute.
There will be optimizations to help new players better understand the game.

When they release more information and patchnote I will update this thread

    Aye I see. There is a new effect that give increased damage on monsters which can be increased further.
    So it is one or 2 skills per class. It gives some kind of amp effect or extreme poison. I'd guess it shares cooldown with the other skills that have the same effect then.

    Since these Pangu skills don't replace the Neverfall skills, needs to be seen if they share a cool down with them. 100% damage taken for 10 seconds is pretty good. But as you have explained me yesterday, this is a new glyph system, which has different glyphs, we most likely won't have access right away to the highest tier, yet.

    The cooldown is not shared between these skills. Despite having the same name and icon, they function as entirely separate abilities with no connection to each other.

    Why would they restrict blood paint to pvp only?

    The Chinese players believe that it emphasizes teamwork, as it encourages people to bring healers to dungeons and reduces the emphasis on solo gameplay

    So there is the bard nerf already. Didn't take long to happen. But does it affect the usability of the class to the extent it did with the wildwalker, when it got nerfed?

    Conclusion for me is: I wasted a bunch of money on getting r9.3. It's most likely not getting any warding level out of this. Need to figure out what to do with this. For my second Main I guess I go r8 and g17 perhaps and retire g16 TT.

    This numbers come as a set or per each piece?

    No since warding levels arent that good as you think, warding level is a % based damage reduction that decrease with each level i dont think its worth to change gear sets

    Patchnote was released, I will point out the main changes/additions

    -The damage cap of the dungeon has been removed
    -Weapons and armor have been added with Slaying Level and Warding Level (I already mentioned at some comments above which weapons/gear will get these attributes)
    WgRdi5P.png
    5tAdZS3.png

    +20 Slaying Level and Warding Level Pill sold in various NPCs
    ZtLUCVb.png
    ibEil0p.png

    -After this update, all HP Charms will no longer be effective in any PVE dungeons in the game

    -Final version of the skill Update (I will post it here later)

    -Dungeon BOSS Strength Adjustment
    The combat power of bosses and some elite monsters in all Weapon Dungeons, Armor Dungeons, Relic Dungeons, and Faction Base Dungeons has been adjusted as follows:
    1) Reduced the defense level of some dungeon monsters.
    2) The health of some monsters has been appropriately adjusted.
    3) Adjust the monster level to 200.
    4) Added "Anti-Slaying Level" and "Anti-Warding Level" for all monsters.

    -Many adjustments to new players, Spiritual Cultivation quests are part of the new main story that will improve and guide better new players and reward new and old players with a +100HP title

    -Novice buff will no longer increase exp, soul and vitae but will increase movement speed by 80%

    -Many Primal World requirements went from Lv 100 reawakening 2 to Lv 100 reawakening 1

    -Some quests were removed, some quests won't trigger automatically

    -Spiritual Cultivation Bosses will once again come back to dungeons

    -Chaotic Soul and Celestial Saint cultivations requirements changed to Lv 100 Shifting Sky 10

    -Classic Dungeons Rework
    There are many classic dungeons in the Perfect Continent. I believe that the practitioners have had unforgettable memories in these dungeons. We have optimized and upgraded these classic dungeons, and comprehensively optimized and upgraded the dungeon mechanism, monster distribution, map roads, inbound and outbound transmission, etc., so that practitioners can experience more enjoyable dungeon battles when entering the dungeon during their growth period

    -The scope of this dungeon adjustment is the following 14 classic dungeons: 19, 20, 20, 20, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89, 89, 99, 99

    -Added [God Killing Mode] difficulty to the dungeons: Fire Rock Cave, Mad Wolf Lair, and Serpent and Scorpion Cave (chinese translation, but basically the lv 20 dungeons)

    How to activate: When the character level meets the second reawakening, level 100 and Shifting Sky 10, you can accept the corresponding [God Killing Mode] activation task from the NPC "Explorer" at the entrance of the three dungeons
    After the character accepts the quest, the monsters in the dungeon will switch to the [God Killing Mode] difficulty, and the character must kill the new BOSS of the corresponding dungeon. If the character wants to return to the normal difficulty, he needs to leave the current dungeon and re-enter after 20 minutes.

    -Added a new mechanism for the dungeon: "Unlock the BOSS after killing a specified number of monsters
    Before the number of monsters killed reaches the standard, the BOSS will not appear in the dungeon; when the number of monsters killed reaches the standard, a prompt that the BOSS has appeared will be displayed in the center of the screen and in the chat bar.

    Details are as follows:
    Hb4yjBQ.png
    *Note: BOSSes not listed in the above table are not within the scope of the main quest, and the activation mechanism remains unchanged. Practitioners can still kill them normally according to the original process.

    -Many Mechanics of these dungeons got removed (mainly lv 99 dungeons)

    -A new NPC "Teleporter" has been added, and practitioners can use the Teleporter to easily leave each dungeon. She appear after the last boss dies and can send you back to Archosaur

    -Adjusted the resurrection point locations of 14 dungeons.
    After the current character dies in the dungeon, he will no longer be directly transferred out of the dungeon, but will be resurrected at a location within the dungeon that is close to the place of death

    -Removed the NPC [Old Swordsman] and its related tasks at the dungeon entrance from 13 dungeons

    -Reset time of these dungeons changed to 1 hour, except Lv 99 dungeons, they remain 4 hours

    -Comprehensive adjustments have been made to the experience points and dropped items of monsters in 14 dungeons.

    -After the practitioner enters the dungeon, the kill count interface will be displayed above the task tracking. The practitioner can view the target kill count, target BOSS and current kill count on the interface.
    kvfvqka.png

    -Added a “guiding arrow” to the dungeon to help practitioners know the direction to move forward.
    In the following dungeons, the guidance arrows are displayed in stages. When the practitioner follows the guidance arrow of the current stage to kill the corresponding BOSS, the arrow of the current stage will disappear, and the arrow of the next stage will appear at the same time, guiding the practitioner to the next BOSS

    -Phoenix Valley rework
    Fengming Valley is an important place for practitioners to gain experience, and it carries a lot of memories and emotions. In this update, we have also streamlined the content, optimized the rules, and upgraded the experience of Fengming Valley, so that practitioners can have a better experience in Fengming Valley. Details are as follows:

    -Quests, NPCs and monsters related to the Phoenix Valley got removed

    -Phoenix Valley rules adjustment:
    Characters whose current level is greater than level 30 can collect 5 "Fengming Valley Admission Tokens" from [Fengming Valley Master Sen Xiang] every day. Characters can enter Fengming Valley by consuming one admission token each time from this NPC.

    In the team state, every time the captain leaves Fengming Valley, the dungeon the team was in will be closed within half an hour. If the team members enter Fengming Valley again after the captain leaves Fengming Valley, a new dungeon of Fengming Valley will be generated.

    The monsters that appear in the newly generated dungeon depend on the difficulty of the task selected by the first team member who enters Fengming Valley again.

    In single-player mode, the monsters that appear in the dungeon depend on the difficulty of the task selected by the current character. Each time you leave Fengming Valley, the dungeon will be closed within 1 minute.

    A new mechanism has been added to the Fengming Valley dungeon: "Unlock the BOSS after killing a specified number of monsters." Before the number of monsters killed reaches the standard, the BOSS will not appear in the dungeon; when the number of monsters killed reaches the standard, a prompt that the BOSS has appeared will be displayed in the center of the screen and in the chat bar.

    Appropriate adjustments have been made to the monster attributes and rewards in Fengming Valley, and killing the BOSS will gain a large experience reward.

    The display content in the Fengming Valley map has been updated. Practitioners can view the location of the BOSS by opening the map.

    Dungeon Level / character level / Key / Boss name / Number of monsters need to be killed to Boss spawn
    tQZv7tO.png

    Open Phoenix Valley (Level 105)

    After the update, the Server will open Fengming Valley (level 105), details are as follows:

    Dungeon entry: A character can enter Fengming Valley (level 105) up to 5 times a day, and each entry requires 5 "Fengming Valley Admission Tokens".

    Dungeon rewards: War Avatar S, War Avatar C, Fengming Valley admission order

    Drop expectation: One War Avatar S will be dropped every 8 times you clear Fengming Valley (level 105).

    Related Announcement: We will be making the acquisition of S+ War Avatars available based on the overall progress of War Avatar development among characters on each server. S+ War Avatars can be directly exchanged through the 'nuema Portal' War Avatar corresponding to level 80 after the second reawakening

    -New Exchanges, Resurrection Scroll and another item can be exchanged for more Phoenix Valley entry tokens (up to 150/week)
    3c5WgY4.png

    -Tome Refining
    Soon PWI will be able to refine tomes up to +20
    In this new update we can fuse Azure Ocean Chapter to create higher level Chapters to refine with 100% of guarantee to +11 and +12, The +13 chapter will be adquired in Celestial Memoire Event( an annual event pwi never activated), it will be used to craft +14 and +15 chapters
    Here the ammount of chapters we need to craft the new ones
    4 Azure Ocean Chapter = 1 chapter +11
    5 cahapter +11 = 1 chapter +12
    5 chapter +13 = 1 chapter +14
    5 chapter +14 = 1 chapter +15

    xycnEXH.png

    UzBNWoS.png

    -Inventory expansion is free for the first time

    -Free allocation of novice attribute points

    When destroying bound equipment and pet eggs for equipment below level 13, the disappearance time is reduced from 3 days to 10 minutes.

    -Bounty related:
    The following tasks have been adjusted to allow abandonment and re-acceptance. If the current bounty task cannot be completed due to various reasons on the same day, the practitioner can manually abandon the task and re-accept the bounty task

    -Optimized the naming and arrangement order of the dungeon tasks on the Illusion Stone

    -Item acquisition and usage display

    Practitioners know that there are countless rich mission props, weapons and equipment, materials and medicines on the Perfect Continent. In order to help practitioners clearly understand how to obtain and use each item and reduce the various doubts of practitioners as much as possible, we have sorted out all the available items, props and equipment in the game, and added query windows for "obtaining methods" and "item usage" for them. In addition to the content of this update, more content that supports query is already being developed in sequence, hoping to bring more convenient and reliable ways to solve doubts for everyone. Details are as follows:

    Usage

    After placing the mouse on the item (including props and equipment) icon to call out the item floating prompt box, press and hold the CTRL key to lock the item floating prompt box. In the locked state, the practitioner can click the "Obtaining Method" and "Item Usage" buttons in the floating prompt box to query the relevant information of the item. Release the CTRL key to cancel the locked state of the item floating prompt box.

    In the initial query interface, practitioners can click the "Obtaining Method" or "Item Usage" button to switch functions. The interface will display the corresponding query button according to the source and purpose of the queried item. Click the button to jump to the corresponding function interface.

    -Battle Power Ranking and Survival Ranking
    The minimum score required to be on the [Combat Power Ranking] is 100,000, and the minimum score required to be on the [Survival Power Ranking] is 400,000.

    The ranking list will display at most the top 100 characters in the server that meet the requirements, and will be sorted from high to low by numerical value.

    When multiple characters have the same numerical values, their ranking will be determined by the order in which the practitioners created the characters.

    If a character meets the conditions for inclusion in the list after changing class, but the historical highest value has not been updated, the character will be included in the new job ranking list after the next server opening

    - After the update, Aurora Arena will give priority to matching opponents with characters from the same server.

    -Added the display of the current refining level to the equipment name on the refining interface.

    -After the update, the daily sign-in and battle pass system will increase level restrictions. Characters that have not reached level 100 in the second reawakening will not be able to sign in daily, gain battle pass experience, or receive battle pass rewards

    -Adjust the items purchased from NPCs to be bound, including but not limited to: Perfect Stones sold by the Peddler, Low-level Soul Stones and their synthesized Soul Stones, Arrows sold by the Blacksmith, Medicines sold by the Pharmacist, etc.

    -Morai items that give 8 slaying levels and 8 warding levels changed to 4~8 attack levels and 4~8 defense levels

    Good question, at first sight seems like Bosses from Armor, Weapon, Relic and Faction dungeons will negate the characters' slaying level and warding level, however I'm not 100% sure

    I mean this is good that the old dungeons indeed get a rework. I need to see this update to get an opinion for it. I am indeed one of the few players that never cried after a classic perfect world, cause it simply was very hard to level up. The easier level, the happier I am. Right now, I am trying to figure this things out, that are going to be changed. I think there is people that were missing this type of dungeons a lot, so they might be happy about this. Also need to see what the reward will be.

    So if the regular endgame dungeons will get anti slaying and warding buff, that sounds to me, that they break through warding level negations and will be more resistant to slaying level, which is reasonable, as the bosses would be otherwise a joke.

    And now I try to figure out, what to do best. Going into dungeons with penumbra is after this update pretty much "useless". So G16 does not get any benefit from slaying level, so its a less desirable choice.
    I guess r8 is the way to go then. But for what slaying and warding level on armors, when any endgame dungeon monster is resistant to it? Or is there some crucial point that i miss?

    Chinese players speculate that this suggests bosses might have Slaying and Warding levels, though this has not yet been confirmed. It's what makes more sense tbh

    Holy cow, a lot of those changes are very good, especially to bring in new players or encourage people to reroll some classes/chars.
    But one of the biggest changes i think is this one

    -After this update, all HP Charms will no longer be effective in any PVE dungeons in the game

    Wow nice update , I got some questions 😀, where we can see some videos of damage cap removed, they remove on trials too?

    Abot S+ cards they can be rebirth too? Or just 1 stage like lvl 100 only?

    Whats the point of getting slaying and warding on gear if will be useless against some boss?

    Now with damage cap removed , will be possible to nuke WM all boss?

    Correction: 3 Stars G18 Gear dungeon is the one that got removed, 4 and 5 stars remain

    Tome +15 = +15 Highest levels

    Dungeons will have a recommended Slaying and Warding Level, this will drastically affect the battle
    While some strong people are nuking WM, some weaker people claim their damage is worst now
    In this picture is the recommendation for G18 gear dungeon (4 and 5 stars)

    As I mentioned before now Bosses won't have a damage cap however their attributes like HP and Attack increased greatly and they will have the ability to negate an ammount of Slaying level and Warding level.

    I adjusted a picture to become clearer which gears/weapon will give Slaying level and Warding level and I calculated some gears.
    Lqog6ta.png

    This pic is just to show the maximum Slaying/Warding levels today using just endgame equipment, we can however buy a pill that increases slaying and Warding Levels by 20 points, the pill cost is 80000 silver coins in many NPCs
    dS3FgrL.png


    I found the recommended slaying and warding levels to some dungeons, if you fight the bosses and you're below the recommended levels you may die easily and deal less damage, if you got so much more slaying and warding levels then the dungeon will be a lot easier and will be able to nuke many bosses

    Recommended Attributes
    ★★★ Dungeon (like DUP and TT4-1) 170 Slaying Levels and 145 Warding Levels
    ★★★★ Dungeon (like WM and TT4-2) 410 Slaying Levels and 320 Warding Levels
    ★★★★☆ Dungeon (G18 gear ★★★★☆ mode) 535 Slaying Levels and 410 Warding Levels
    ★★★★★ Dungeon (G18 gear ★★★★★ mode) 670 Slaying Levels 510 Warding Levels

    Dawnlight Halls is 3 Star so 170 slaying levels and 145 warding levels
    Regarding old dungeons, according to people I've seen commenting on them, there are no new rewards.
