Miscellaneous
Raid Entries
You can now enter raids as often as you wish and are no longer locked out after having cleared it once per week. Similarly to our dungeons, you won’t be getting any rewards for clearing it a second time in the same week – but you will be able to train or help others with this change. You’ll get the “Instance Escort” buff automatically as a max level player, which enables the above behaviour.
Sword Master Adventure
Added the option to replay specific Cutscenes again through the new tab in the Sword Master Adventure (CTRL + L) Menu.
Cultivation > Weekly Event
The Quest “Group Expedition” has been updated to require clearing, after August 12th, either of the 2 easy version of the new raids.
Bugfixes:
- Fixed some length and overlap issues for Voiceovers in Cutscenes.

- Talisman Recipes no longer appear with broken display in Cooking Menu.
- Item Level 75 Rings and Amulets now also give Mysterious Parchments when being used for developing your pet.
- Apprentice reward for reaching PvE Gear Level 60 can now be claimed.
