PWCN recently hosted a livestream to reveal details about the upcoming expansion for the Chinese servers. Here are some key highlights from the announcement:

S+ War Avatars
The highly anticipated S+ War Avatars will finally be introduced. The developers revealed that the set bonus for equipping all six pieces will offer a 125% bonus (originally designed to be 100%).

Imperial Spirit★★★ Bonuses
The new S+ War Avatars will feature enhanced Imperial Spirit bonuses, provided certain prerequisites are met:

"Five" refers to the set bonus for the S+ Avatars.
Activating a different Imperial Spirit effect will overwrite the previous one.
If you activate an Imperial Spirit effect that matches an already active one, the duration will be extended.

Dragon Rise event
Once again the annual reward will be Level 9 Glyph

Skill Updates
The livestream also gave a sneak peek into upcoming skill adjustments, mainly focusing on skills that increase damage against monsters. According to forum discussions, not only will the values be increased, but the formula these skills are calculated will also be modified.

(Once the official list of changes is available, I’ll provide a full translation of the updated skills.)

It was announced that they will unlock a new part of the new continent too(east land)
(many believe they will introduce a new Horcrux set, new Pangu Skill and more Pangu Heart levels)

When I have more details I'll update this thread

    The recent changes to certain skills that previously specified "increase damage against monsters" have now been reworded to "deal damage." For example, the Psychic skill used to state it would "increase skill damage against monsters by 100%," but now says "skills will deal 125% damage against monsters." This change implies a potential decrease in damage output, although confirmation is still needed. However, this interpretation aligns with discussions from Chinese players who are noting that many are currently able to nuke endgame dungeon bosses, suggesting a possible balancing adjustment.

    Despite the wording change, the new description may still cause some confusion.

    For a better understanding
    if we consider 1000 damage
    before: 1000 +100% = 2000
    after: 1000 * 125% = 1250

    It was mentioned in the last update that 1 nuema portal reawakened 2 times and level 80 could be exchanged for a S+ war avatar, however it was a preview/spoiler about this new update so we don't know yet if there is something else needed

    You used to need a Chinese ID number or something like that to register back in the day.
    Not sure if that's still the case.

    PWCN posted the complete patchnote for this expansion.

    Here the main content:

    New region in the East Continent, many puzzles, exploration, etc just like the previous region.

    Heart of Pangu, the new region brings a new Heart of Pangu to be leveled up, we gain EXP for it doing dailies, exploration and other activities. When you get enough EXP for it you can unlock the padlocks to equip Horcruxes and get attributes, each padlock requires materials and 200kk(silver) to be unlocked

    Rj4EO6M.png

    Horcrux, the new region brings a new set of horcrux for each race.
    We will have both sets(from the 2 regions) equiped at the same time.

    The annual Dragon Rise Event, rewarding with Level 9 Glyph again

    War Avatar S+
    To get a S+ card you must have one Nuema Portal Avatar that was reawakened twice and level 80, it must match the same slot of the card you want to craft (Althea Reawakened twice level 80 = Alexander x1) We can craft the same S+ avatar up to 4 times
    The set bonus of S+ War avatars is 125%

    S+ War Avatars, 0 reawakening and 2 reawakenings

    When in the air you can click the mount icon to exit the mount or you can tap "Fly" button to exit the mount and start to fly, it was added a message telling you why you can't use the mount (example: currently in the water)

    Repurchase function, you can retrieve some items you sold to NPCs
    There are some restrictions:
    -Items that disappear after leaving a map/area
    -Items that disappear after death/offline
    -Items that give you currency like Perfect Hammer
    -Cross Server
    The repurchase price will be increased by a certain percentage based on the selling price

    Added foot height adaptation function
    When a player enables this function, the player's own character (not including other characters or NPCs) will change the foot height according to the terrain or building model surface when standing, mining, or picking up, and automatically adjust the leg movements accordingly, making the character's standing posture look more realistic and beautiful.
