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

-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)



+20 Slaying Level and Warding Level Pill sold in various NPCs



-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:

*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.


-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


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)

-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

What is the anti slaying level and anti warding level buffs on monsters?

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
