The visual and narrative centerpiece of Version 1.2 is the Warren Continent, a sprawling new region added to the city map.
- Medieval Castle & Dragon Boss: The new area features a striking medieval castle that significantly changes the visual identity of the city. Players can also challenge a new dragon boss encounter.
- New Story Episode: Access the Warren Continent by progressing through the new main story episode titled “Fighting with a Dragon.”
- 999 Nights Permanent RPG Mode: The flagship content of 1.2 is a permanent, replayable RPG-style board game mode where the team gets isekai’d into a fantasy world. It features a 7-slot gear system, armor set bonuses, and high replayability.
999 Nights Fast Leveling Route
To equip higher-tier gear in the new mode, you need to grind EXP. Use the Bonfire reset mechanic to farm these optimal spots:
- Lv 1-15: Farm the Aggressive Fluffies along the central riverside, or farm the Molten Dragon Boss in Chocolate Volcano.
- Lv 15-25: Farm the Frostspike Dragon Boss in Milk Ice Mountain, resetting at the nearby Bonfire.
- Lv 25-35: Clear the massive mob cluster just before the boss in the eastern area of Amber Sugar Lake, then defeat the Scroll Leaf Scorpion Boss.
4. Free Rewards and Compensation
Hotta Studio is being extremely generous with Version 1.2:
- Free S-Class Selector: A free S-Class Standard Character Selection Box is being distributed to any player who creates an account and unlocks the in-game mail system before the end of the Version 1.2 patch cycle.
- Maintenance Compensation: Players will receive 600 Annulith (300 for maintenance, 300 for bug fixes) directly in their mailboxes. Combined with the 1,600 Annulith Appreciation Gift, players are receiving a total of 2,200 Annulith for free!
