December updates

These are updates coming in December.

Dimension Border changes

Video timestamp: ~35:00

Special dungeon: Dimension Border include a Special Dungeon. Special Dungeons will be available during Dungeon Events and as Trials.

Challenge Dungeon format will be added that follows the solo dungeon formats from episodes with a boss that respawns in a more powerful form each time you defeat it, until you run out of health or time. Rankings will be tracked.

Updated in the 12/8 patch:

One of the dimension border bosses is deemed a Special Dungeon. This boss has an additional difficulty level (Heroic) which will be much more difficult, but drop new and high-level items. The Special Dungeon boss cycles weekly.
Challenge Dungeon is available on Friday. It is a replay of the challenge solo mode of story episode bosses or other strong bosses. The boss changes every week. Do as much damage as possible to it before you run out of time or health, to earn points and a ranking level. The ranking level is separate for each class. After the challenge dungeon period is over, rewards will be distributed based on your ranking.

New feature: Equipment Unleash

Video timestamp: ~36:00

(Note: I don't have a good term for 解放 because I want to call it awakening but that term is already being used for enhancing a weapon by feeding it copies of itself, so I'm using "unleashed" right now. "Release" is another potential term but could be mixed up with the term used when you get rid of excess familiars.)

What is unleashing:

Equipment must be 6* and at level 30 before you can unleash it
There are 10 levels of unleashing that will strengthen it

How to unleash:

Acquire specific materials from dimension border, field boss, events, etc

Little Devil Contracts:

Forging a contract with a little devil provides specific boosts, for example
- Boost: Atk up, dark atk up
  Skills: dark atk up, successful attack has a chance to inflict erosion
- Per the GM note, there are different contracts you can forge when you unleash a weapon, which would provide boosts personalized to your playstyle/build

Updated in the 12/8 patch:

You will need to complete several reputation quests in Evermore to meet up with Lavina and learn how to unleash your weapons.
This ability is currently only available on weapons

New feature: Weapon costumes

Video timestamp: ~39:00

Change the appearance of your weapons with weapon costumes.

(Note: I refer to this as weapon skins a lot because that's the term I've seen for this feature in other games I commonly play.)

Christmas costumes (Noel Night) will be available with the Christmas event.

Server Transfer information

Video timestamp: ~41:00

Server Transfer changes

You will have 24 hours after initiating a transfer to change the server you are transferring to or cancel the transfer entirely, before the transfer actually goes through

Kingdom server transfer changes

The kingdom master can move their entire kingdom to a new server
This requires a separate Kingdom Transfer ticket, apart from the standard Server Transfer ticket
Only the Kingdom and its Master will move servers with this
- I think this means that kingdom members will need to temporarily leave the kingdom to transfer on their own and then rejoin; optionally they can leave the kingdom and stay on their current server)

Coming 12/12. See the separate server transfer details post.

New Costume: Catarumpus Dress-up Set

Video timestamp: ~43:30

New costumes based off of everyone's favorite derpy mount

Note: Earned as part of the 1.5 Anniversary Special Summon event (365 points)

New Costume: Winter Outfit Set [provisional name]

Video timestamp: ~44:00

New costumes to get everyone ready to hit the slopes?

(Name not final hahaha)

No method mentioned for acquisition; assuming through the gacha (directly or crafting with specific spoonfuls) with an option to buy the costume directly in the paid shop.

New Mount: Classic Scooter

Video timestamp: ~45:00

New mount based on a classic scooter vehicle. Not pictured: The license plate on the scooter reads "Ni no Kuni" (via JP number pun).

Note: Earned as part of the Go! Go! 1.5 Anniversary Exchange event (after exchanging for all items in the event)

Updated in the 12/8 patch:

The mount can be acquired after exchanging for all the items in teh 1.5 anniversary exchange shop.
Tokens can be earned by defeating monsters (max 200 per day), completing to do tasks daily (7 tasks for 50 tokens), and by interacting with various objects in Evermore (kicking trees, searching flower beds, breaking pots, throwing coins into the fountain).
You will need around 5,000 tokens to exchange for all the items in the shop.
The mount comes at 6*.

New Mount: Snow Racer

Video timestamp: ~46:00

New mount based on a futuristic floating snow board. A good match for the skiing/snowboarding gear costumes!

What is this, Back to the Future??

No method mentioned for acquisition; assuming paid mount.

New Familiar: Sapdragon (JP: Gem)

Video timestamp: ~47:00

New familiar. Light/Attack. Assuming rare 4*. Not mentioned whether it is limited or not.

Passive: Boost to damage based on # of attack familiars in build; when your HP is high, boosts attack speed (stamina-style mod)

Active: AOE damage, boosts damage if enemy HP is low

Arena/Adventure: AOE damage, temporary knockback/CC resist up

Updated in the 12/8 patch:

Now available in the familiar summon shop. There is currently a rate-up banner with guaranteed Sapdragon at 200 points.

Other misc changes

Video timestamp: ~48:00

Final list of changes for Dec.

Changes

No Battle for the Throne or Relic Battlefield (due to server transfer period)
"Growth" ranking and a ranking shop will be added
Field Bosses Khalia's Phantom and later will share one HP bar across all channels (like Cross Field bosses)
Updates to trading with Muse
- Can trade more pages/books at a time

- Strengthening stones, gummies, toys, tickets, Muse Boxes can be traded for with diamonds/gold

QOL updates

Changes to tickets/content for Dimension Border/World Boss
Open lots of trunks w/password cards at once
Increase time for certain group food buff items
Improved growth method for mounts
Clearer info for social "Growth Information" for higgledies and skills
Misc updates to UI for Cross Fields Spacetime cube

Updated in the 12/8 patch:

Ranking shop now available in the shop, which allows you to purchase/exchange for various high level goods if your ranking is high enough
Khalia's Phantom, Blue Goddess Statue, and Zarenforce now share one HP bar across channels, meaning if your server is strong, you will need to get to them quickly in order to get credit for attacking for drops. They also reward more chests upon defeat to compensate for only having a single spawn.
Muse no longer offers normal skill books for trade; these have been moved to the shop and go for 30 pages of the appropriate element/star level. Muse will only offer books traded for with high-quality skill pages, such as [element] skill mastery or food fighter, etc. Muse also offers a broader variety of items for purchase with diamonds and gold, with some items being highly limited (so visit her early if you want a chance at them.) Muse can now also appear in Trainia and Hydropolis maps.
You can now use dimension border tickets in bulk (up to 5 at a time) on a single run, and get rewards based on how many tickets you spent.
You can now upgrade mounts with bulk usage of materials. You can select how many materials to use at a time.
