Jobs Update
- Fixed a bug where all gathering quests were showing, even if you weren’t at the required rank.
- Copper Ore and Iron Ore have been made easier to grind.
- The Repair Kit has been removed from the shop — crafters can now sell repair items through the Auction House.
- A Minor Repair Kit has been added to the shop. This item repairs an item by 10 durability points.
Compensation is still planned — we’re just working through the finer details on that.
Activity Streak – Day 2
The Day 2 Activity Streak reward was boosted as a form of compensation related to the streak changes.
This reward will be adjusted again on Monday.

Jobs
Job experience requirements per rank have been raised. The missions were released before this update was fully in place, and for that, I’m sorry.
We really appreciate how much people have been grinding, and we don’t want jobs to feel like you need to take on a part-time job just to keep up. We’ll continue fine-tuning progression, rewards, and recipes.
Because this wasn’t communicated ahead of time, we’ll be adding 60,000 EXP as compensation to each job type.
Rank Update
The ranked system has seen some updates:
- You now gain 1 Silver for every 3 wins.
- If you win 3 matches in a row, you gain 2 Silver instead.
Notifications
Notifications have been updated to allow you to hide them, and you will no longer be bombarded by Shrine attack notifications.
Shrine Wars
We’re currently fixing a bug where Shrine HP was not displaying correctly and damage dealt to Shrines was not being counted toward the Town Hall.
Banned players should also no longer appear on the map. We’re working on additional updates to prevent them from being able to scout.
New Feature Incoming: Stealth & Sensory
Stealth allows a player to remain hidden for a period of time until they take an action.
Sensory allows you to detect and locate stealthed players.
Help Us Build the New Streak System
A new Discord thread has been opened where you can suggest different types of streak rewards. We’d love your input.
Activity Streak
By Neon on 1/17/2026
Yes, we have changed how activity streak works. The reason for this change was that the original method was unsustainable from a game points of view and it was prone to breaking/bugging along with it being very punishing.
Why was it unsustainable?
It gave out too many reputation points because that was the only thing it had, which inflated the Black Market, as there was a higher supply even though the demand wasn't necessarily there. It was also not customizable so things that should or would be of greater benefit in the activity streak (Like silver), took coding changes to add.
Bugs/Breaking:
The previous activity streak had a tendency to break and not register players' streaks continuation, which meant that the Staff had to spend a lot of time restoring player's streaks.
Punishing:
The previous streak punished the player for missing a day, if you had any IRL emergency or just was busy you would have lost your streak.
The new Streak:
The new streak will still give out reputation points, we understand that many players used this as a way to get Gold federation each month, and that will be taken into consideration to ensure that the new streak will offer you more value than the previous one.
Added Value:
We are now able to offer much more than before, from simple things such as ryo and experience, to more complex things such as Bloodlines and items.
Less Punishing:
The New streak will not punish you for missing a day or being unable to login for one day and while I understand that for some this might be counterproductive, I don't believe it's a good design to have that if you miss a day your entire streak is removed.
There will be compensation in the form of 50 reps to everyone and more news posts after this

MPVP Shrine and Boost Scheduler
By Neon on 1/12/2026
MPVP Shrine Wars Are Live
While there are still a few kinks to iron out, MPVP Shrine Wars are now live.
You need a minimum of 2 players to attack a Shrine. If there are no player defenders available, the new Shrine Guardians—which can be purchased by a Kage—will act as the defenders.
You can also attempt Shrine Wars solo. However, be warned: Shrine Guardians are designed with MPVP combat in mind and can be very challenging.
Over time, we’ll be releasing newer and stronger Shrine Guardians as we continue to improve and expand this feature.
Boost Scheduler
Rulers will now see a new calendar menu in the Boost section. This allows you to schedule the time and day of your boosts well in advance, so you no longer need to be present when the boost activates.
Feature Preview: MPVP Shrine Wars
By Neon on 1/11/2026
Upcoming Feature: MPVP Shrine Wars
Hello everyone, just a short news post to talk about an upcoming feature: MPVP Shrine Wars.
Since Shrine Wars were introduced, they’ve been a bit all over the place—sometimes annoying, sometimes too hard, sometimes too easy. Because of that, we decided to repurpose Shrine Wars as a testing ground for MPVP combat.
How It Works
Up to 3 attackers can queue to challenge a Shrine against 3 defenders.
- The minimum to start a Shrine War is 2 attackers.
- If no players are available to defend, the fight becomes a 3v1 against the Shrine Defender.
Because of this, Shrine Defenders will receive a significant buff, and Kages will be able to purchase stronger and more advanced defenders to better protect their Shrines.
This system lets us test MPVP balance in a controlled environment while making Shrine Wars more engaging overall.
