• Smithy rarity upgrade: raise Rare gear to Epic (3,000 shards + 1 Refining Stone) or Epic to Legendary (8,000 shards + 3 Refining Stones).

Unique, Ancient and Arena gear can't be upgraded. • New currency, Refining Stone: a rare drop from tier 3+ fields (offline too). • Stash: separate slots from the bag.

Make them in crafting (Workshop level 4) and pick one in the Season Abyss dispatch window. Once picked, it stays on for auto-repeat and offline progress, and one is eaten per floor only when survival falls short. Season Abyss only, not used in the Old Rift or Hardcore. • Equip All "Roster" order now follows groups: Group 1 gets gear first, then roster order within each group. Members with no group come last. • Arena: opponents whose real power is below 0.6x yours are no longer matched. Defense records now show the opponent's power ratio. • Moon Festival ingredients (Moon Cake, Gold) only appear in the crafting list if you have some. • The app icon is now a guild hall.

• Ancient gear rework: it now drops at the highest enhancement your members have in that slot and comes with one special effect (crit, crit damage, survivability, threat, injury, or gold and drop rarity).

Ancient gear you already own gets an effect too. • Ancient gear can now be dismantled during the season (after unlocking) for twice the essence of a Legendary.

Each member takes one line; tap to expand just that member. • The injury chance on the dispatch screen now includes specializations (Guardian, Cleric) and world buffs.

Trade candy at the exchange for gems, the "Ghost Hunter" title and a portrait frame. Leftover candy can't be traded after the event. • Bulk upgrade: on the Members screen, pick slots, a target level and groups, then upgrade in one tap. Gear is raised evenly from the lowest, at the same cost as single upgrades. Uniques are excluded. • Equip All now follows your chosen priority (rarity, level, power or roster): earlier members take the best gear first. Your front party is fully geared, though the guild's total power may be slightly lower than before. • New fishing spot: Still Lake (skill 25), between Clear Stream and Tidal Flat. • Noble recruits bring 3 new ruling cards. • Battlefield: you can now take revenge on attackers who haven't set a defense. • Hardcore: the tavern shows your bloodline bonus, and the help has a new "Bloodline & Rebirth" entry. • Removed the help entry for the old Scarecrow Range.

From Season 3, 2% of Legendaries from floor 20+ of the Season Abyss become Ancient. They are 1.18x as strong as a Legendary of the same item level and are sealed back into normal Legendaries when the season ends. Ancient bonuses don't apply in the Battlefield. • You can rename your guild from the Guild HQ (free, once every 30 days). Rankings show a short tag next to each name to tell same-named guilds apart. • Backup codes are now 8 characters. They work for 7 days, and old long codes still restore. • Hardcore: injuries no longer stop auto-dispatch. Only the injured member rests.

The top 3 also get a medal ring and pedestal. • Gem Pass: get gems every day for 30 days. Discount on your first purchase. • Halloween and Christmas skins added to the Skin Pack.

Defenders at the gate that gets hit count 1.4x, the opposite gate 0.6x. Members without a gate count exactly as before. Each gate guards a different store.
