9 Days – Patch 1.3
Two Year Update
First of all, thank you to the entire community for supporting 9 Days for two years.
Your feedback, playthroughs, and discussions have helped shape the game into what it is today. This update introduces a brand new competitive endgame activity along with major system improvements and balance changes.
New Feature – The Greatest Tournament
A new competitive Tournament has appeared.
The Tournament unlocks after defeating the All Dimensional in the story. Once you speak with the Tournament NPC, you will gain access to the global rankings.
Players can now upload their Power Rating to the Leaderboards.
Inside the Energy Menu, you will now find a new option:
“Upload Score”
There is also a Leaderboard Board in the world that allows you to view the Top 50 ranked players.
Tournament Rules
Each platform summons a warrior pulled from the Top 50 Leaderboards.
As you progress, the warriors become stronger and higher ranked.
Fight your way through the platforms to reach the greatest warrior.
Rewards
Daily Chest (In-Game Day) – awarded for completing the Tournament.
Daily Chest (Real Life Day) – awarded based on your Leaderboard Ranking.
The Greatest Tournament also includes exclusive armour rewards and leaderboard chest rewards containing exclusive armour and energy depending on your rank.
Energy Composition Rework
Energy Composition has been reworked for competitive play.
The previous Speedrun Leaderboard was unfortunately affected by a mod created which unbalanced the leaderboards previously. This update introduces Crystals as a new core currency for eco composition as the previous mod doesn't account for the new Crystal currency.
Crystals
Crystals are now used at the Forge to improve Eco Composition.
Players can purchase 1, 10, or 100 upgrades at once.
All endgame activities now reward Crystals.
Crystal rewards increase based on your Dimensional Level.
A new Energy Vendor has been added, allowing players to purchase energies, similar to the Final Cycle rewards.
This vendor also uses Crystals.
Don't worry — there are now many new ways to earn Crystals and Energy Capacity, and Crystal purchases are intentionally low-cost so upgrades remain accessible.
Energy Composition Menu
Players can now:
Remove a single energy
Remove all energy of a specific type
Energy Capacity Progression
Energy Capacity now increases automatically through endgame activities. Please note that it will display your full energy capacity and not the number it is updating by. This will change next update.
Interdimensional Games
+1 Capacity for defeating a boss.
Prison
+1 Capacity when upgrading the Prison.
Trials of the Finalith & Null Horizon
Capacity increases based on progression depth.
Raid
Heavy capacity increase for completing the Interdimensional Gate.
Final Cycle

The Greatest Tournament
Heavy capacity rewards from Tournament chests.
Engine Upgrade – Power Rating System
Power Rating and all individual stats now use 64-bit integers.
Previously values could overflow and become negative after 2 billion.
This update applies the 64-bit system to:
Power Rating
Vitality
Energy
Spirit

This allows players to push their power far higher without breaking the engine.
The engine still has limits, but these values now scale much further than before.

CRYSTAL REWARDS (LIST)
Defeating All Dimensional
Final Cycle
Interdimensional Games
The Greatest Tournament
Null Horizon
Finalith Tournament
Interdimensional Gate
Interdimensional Beings have a chance to drop Crystals
Increasing the Prisoner level.
I won't disclose the best method as this will help with the competitve nature of finding the best ways to improve your energy capacity. Experiment and you will find a method you enjoy. Getting Crystals is actually quite easy.
INTERDIMENSIONAL GAMES NEW NODES
There is two new nodes avaliable in the Interdimensional Games tournament. These nodes will increment the number per level. So instead of incrementing by 1, it will increment by the number you selected at the node. An example, the highest is 51. If you choose this and complete hundred rounds, you will increase the tournament by 5100 levels. This was added so that there is another way to get stronger rather than only relying on increasing your energy capacity.
IMPROVEMENTS AND FIXES
Boxer has been added to Final Cycle as if players cannot defeat the other players in the tournament they will be locked out of this Prime Armour.
Display leaderboards should correctly show the Power Ratings.
Crystals have been added to the UI menu and they will pop up once you have collected them from the end game activities.
UPDATE 12TH MARCH 2026
Moon Tournament podiums have been moved so that new players can see both options.
Warp Speed first time hint once you have left the Moon.
Pending - Energy Reset bug. Energy Reset seems to wipe if doing a normal Dimensional reset.
Final Cycle Kod slight nerf to damage.
Final Cycle reminder - Energy drops and Armour scale dramatically once you get passed Level 11.
Final Cycle money glitch fixed.
Idris was accidently had more health in the first training session has been reverted.
Finalith now drops correct crystals after level 4.
UPDATE 14TH MARCH 2026
Dimensional and Energy Resets were incorrectly scaling for the Final Cycle enemies.
ArcaneMaster is available in the Null Horizon early game.
Enemies were not scaling to their health in the Energy Reset. Now everything should scale accordingly.
