Apocalypse Mode:
Defeat bosses across each adventure island to accumulate progress towards activating apocalypse mode
With apocalypse mode activated, a limited number of attempts to challenge each dungeon will be granted
All dungeons will provide 3x the amount of artifact drops and rare loot drops, along with a higher rare drop chance
After all available attempts to challenge an activated apocalypse mode adventure island, the boss counter will reset and can be accumulated again
Successfully challenging dungeons will earn corresponding points towards the Apocalypse Mode Leaderboards
Transmutation
Transform potions, chests, keys, runes, artifacts, and consumables into its higher level counterparts using the Transmutation Furnace
Unlockable at Lv. 21 by hiring Mizuki the Enchantress to your team (skills: Catalyzing - increasing fusion success rate across all equipment types & Transmuting - reducing transmutation time for all consumables)
Advanced Transmutation Slots not only reduce the required consumables for each transmutation but also reduce transmutation time by 35% and increase the chance of doubling the transmutation outcome by 5%
By activating Mizuki, you'll enjoy a 15% fusion speed buff bond with all other craftsmen, benefiting every equipment type (Mizuki will gain EXP with each successful fusion outcome)
Optimizations/Balancing:
Added an accumulated 10-draw progress bonus for premium Gacha draws (every tenth premium draw now rewards two additional premium flips at no extra cost)
Added an exclusive craftsmen slot to be available with the activation of both fountains (not retroactive for those already with both fountains activated)
Fusion failures will now provide a 30% chance of material refunds (previously exclusive to advanced fusion slots) while failing fusion using an advanced fusion slot will now have a 50% chance to return the equipment consumed and an additional 50% to refund materials when eqiupment are not returned
