Season Phase 3 Optimization

  • To ease the pressure on players at the start of the new phase, the following adjustments to the AFK Stages in Phase 3 of this season were:
  • Starting with Phase 3, once Magisters reach 1,800 in both AFK Rewards daily limit and AFK progress, players'll begin earning the new Phase 3 material, Starlight, as part of their AFK rewards.
  • On the first day of Phase 3, if the AFK Rewards daily limit has reached 1,800, players’ maximum AFK stage limit will be set to 1,800. If AFK Rewards daily limit is below 1,800, players’ current maximum AFK stage limit will remain as it is. Additionally, rewards from clearing Stage 1,800 and beyond will be increased after Phase 3 begins.
  • The one-time Starlight rewards from Phase 3's normal AFK stages will be moved to the clear rewards for Season Milestone AFK Stages 1,801-2,700. These rewards will unlock gradually based on the season start time.
