    Any news concerning primal passives? as in any of the current max 5 ones go higher / new ones?

    When there is a new boundary, there will be new passives.
    Or at least, that's how it has been. Hope they increase the critical damage passive, to nerf sins/dbs more '-'

    They probably do...I just hope they do not increase all the Level 5 ones to Level 10..the amount of bloods needed...dear god xD then again, 5 more months to go at least so should be doable.

    A lot of us scrapped bloods so please no

    Got 400x Barbaric and 700x Primordial bloods on 5/7 chars...but on the sin for example..I used them for Transmutation xDD


    I speak for the rest of us normal mortals.More passive!? Fine no bloods anymore please

    PWCN posted some information about tome refining. I've updated the first post with the information.

    In order to refine tomes, you will need a new item. You can also use other refinement items such as dragon orbs and refine aids. There are also new types of refines aids. Their function is the same as the current refine aids and can be obtained from somewhere (new pack? instance drop? I don't know, but it mentions bags). Maybe we need to use these new types of refine aids for the tome and the old ones don't work. I don't know.

    Ok so does that mean we have a choice to refine the tome: Either we use the old school dragon orbs or a new method that will be introduced solely for refining tomes? Thanks Wyvooo <3<3!

    To be fair, the daily rewards of the current instances isn't that bad. DUP, JFSP, DDH..that's easily 20m+ in items every day (if you can use them), not too bad if you ask me :)

    I think he was referring to the vitae reward from daily quests and the addition of further sky levels.

    20m a day is just a joke ... thats barely 4 gold ... 2 months to refine an item to +12 if you are lucky ...

    Lol obviously you can't rely on quests only for a solid income....20M itself is massive compared to what quests gave back in the day.

    PWCN Patch Notes have been released.

    I've updated the first post with the new information and restructured the list so make sure to check it out! I didn't see any mention of new skills or passives despite us getting getting a new Boundary level.

    Some personal musings:

    PW was originally meant to have 150 levels, but when Wanmei got their hands on the incomplete PW project and wanted to release it, they compressed levels 100-150 into 100-105. Naturally, players eventually reached the cap and leveling was put to a halt.

    Once many/most players reached the level cap and were done farming/buying their gear they had "nothing" to do so Wanmei came up with the Boundary and Reawakening systems. As we know based on Asterelle's datamining, the game has been coded to support up to 10 Boundary levels and 10 Reawakenings.

    I assume Wanmei realised Reawakening is kind of dumb so they limited it to 2, but they continued to release new Boundaries. Most of us thought this was over once the Primal World's story was completed and yet here we are. I think it's safe to assume we'll get a new Boundary level every time we unlock a new area in the Western Steppes and Boundary is a "replacement" of the old leveling system.

    The Western Steppes has 4 locked areas, one of which opens in this PWCN expansion. This means we'll get at least 4 more Boundary levels leading us to 9 Boundaries. Then we might just get one more to finish Neverfall's story for good before moving to the next empire. At that point PWCN might figure out some new leveling system to keep players occupied.

    This is just my personal speculation, but that's the direction I see the game going to.

    I cannot translate the Boundary changes because I don't know the Chinese names for them and Google translates then in different, confusing ways. Someone with actual knowledge in Chinese would have to do it.

    Liu Soo's Plea

    FSJ / Belle Leun change sounds like they just combined two rewards so instead of having 4 choices now you have 3.

    That part is interesting...since I don't think they give out packs for free..I assume they just add the fortification essences to the other rewards as well? I mean 48x Packs + 3x A-Packs would be awesome.

    I was looking at some parts of the patch notes and...

    Stronghold Assault, Search for Energy, Rescue the Raccoons it sounded like they changed the sky level requirements for them.

    What goes for the FSJ rewards, look like a change to the reward with the star charts stuff. Couldnt really figure out exactly what have been changed. I actually understood it as that they removed the flowsilver coins from this one but not really sure. RIP, its the option I pick on my main, I hope Im wrong.

    Saw I was summoned regarding the current Vitae rewards for Stronghold Assault and Search for Energy. They do currently give 550 Vitae. I think what I'm reading on the patch notes is that they reduced it to 500 Vitae after the patch, based on the way the other notes are phrased.

    Aye, fixed it.

    I'm convinced they decreased the FSJ reward choices from 4 to 3, but whether they combined or removed rewards I don't know. Nothing surprises me anymore so whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Updated my PWCN client. The login screen is the same, no new loading screens, no new skills. Lazy devs.

    I noticed more stuff on the Adventure Kingdom NPC.

    H9o8rld.gif

    Looks like new fashion, another pet, more things to make with Turo Adventure Orders (maybe like those 'flowers' effects). I'm not sure what the other tabs are for though. Probably a new event.

    EDIT: Yeah there are now only 3 choices for FSJ rewards:
    48 War Avatar Pack C + 8 Shiny Flowsilver Coin*
    3 War Avatar Pack A + 8 Shiny Flowsilver Coin*
    30 Fortifications Essence + 8 Shiny Flowsilver Coin*

    No more starchart items. (*It actually shows up as 108 shiny flowsilver coin for some reason... It shows up as 108 in pwdb too atm so I think it's really 8.)

    @zoube So far I haven't found any mention or information that suggests we have new skills. Asterelle also said he didn't find any new skills in the PWCN client.
