Dear Actionists,

As the echoes of the New Year’s chimes fade, the horns of expedition resound once more. After long anticipation and meticulous preparation, Continent 9, Merkasim is finally ready to lift its mysterious veil. A brand-new adventure of strength, wisdom, and glory awaits us, and we will face it together!

I. Update Schedule and Service Arrangements

🪧 Official Update Date: February 11, 2026 (The update schedule may change depending on the development situation.)

🔧 Scheduled Maintenance Period: To be announced

II. Ninth Continent Content Overview

Continent 9 is not only an unknown land, but also a brand-new power system. Your adventure journey will witness the following fundamental changes:

1. Level Breakthrough: Star Glory Rank ⭐

Upgrading the Star Glory Rank permanently boosts your character's basic attributes and grants exclusive Skill Points.

2. Economic Revolution

A new premium currency, Rune Silver, will be introduced and will become the primary currency of Continent 9's systems.

Design Goal: To stabilize the in-game economy and provide all adventurers with a fair and sustainable value accumulation system. Existing Gold will still be usable in certain traditional systems.

★ New Currency: Rune Silver Coins

3. New Equipment (S1) Enhancement System

Through four systems: Enhancement, Inheritance, Ascension, and Suppression Refinement, you can strengthen equipment, transfer performance, and unlock new potential.

[Rune Silver Coins and new materials will be required to use these systems.]

4. NPC Information

5. 【Refining (Tempering) Stage】

• Select an enhancable S1 Equipment from the equipment list on the left side of the UI to view its current enhancement level, next enhancement level, and enhancement energy corresponding to its current star grade.

• Refining must reach 100% to proceed with enhancement.

If enhancement fails, the enhancement aura increases. When it reaches 100%, the next enhancement is guaranteed to succeed, after which the energy resets.

● 50 vs 50 Battlefield: “Dragon Spine Fjord” (In Development)

We know many of you are looking forward to this large-scale battlefield. To ensure smooth performance in 100-player battles and fair faction balance, it needs more time to polish.

As a result, Dragonspine Fjord will not launch with the Continent 9 update and will be released in a future major update in a more complete form.

A new chapter is about to begin. Stronger enemies await, and a deeper power system is ready to be explored.

On February 11, 2026, let’s meet under the starry sky of Continent 9—we’ll be there with you.

Thank you.
