Throne of Edana
With this update, the way you use the Edana Rising Token for the Throne of Edana is now more convenient. Previously, anyone could use the token without limits, which sometimes prevented genuine challengers from joining the battle. To address this, a penalty now applies if you do not participate, and those who do not wish to vie for the throne can sell their tokens at NPC shops.
Furthermore, to encourage advancement to higher-tier castles, Edana is no longer automatically registered for defense. By using the Edana Rising Token, you can choose to defend your castle or challenge another. We have also improved convenience by adding the Throne of Edana menu under Menu (ESC), so you no longer need to travel to Edanian castles to refresh the Gear Score requirement.
- Changed the rules so that Adventurers currently holding the Throne of Edana (castle of a region) can now challenge the thrones of other regions.
- Adventurers can use another region’s Edana Rising Token to be selected as a participant according to the 10-challenger selection rules. If victorious in both the 10-challenger match and the final showdown against Edana, the adventurer becomes Edana. (Note: If you use a token from another region, you will be removed from your current throne.)
- Changed the requirements so that the current Edana must use their own region’s Edana Rising Token to participate in the throne defense match.
- Without using their own region's token, the current Edana cannot participate in the defense match.
- Changed the system so that Adventurers selected as participants via Edana Rising Token who do not participate in the match will receive a penalty.
- Penalized Adventurers will not be able to access the Throne of Edana content for 4 cycles.
- The penalty will restrict access to both the 10-challenger and the Final Challenger vs. the current Edana matches.
- The current Edana is exempt from the non-participation penalty.
- Adjusted the selection conditions for Edana if no Adventurer participates in the Final Challenger vs Edana match.
- In this instance, the Final Challenger will ascend to the Throne of Edana.
- If no Adventurers participated in the 10-challenger match, the throne will remain vacant.
- Added the ability to open the Throne of Edana UI via Menu (ESC) - War (F7).
- Adventurers can click the flags for each region in the UI’s top left to check information, with regions where you’ve applied for the Throne of Edana marked.
- Applicants can now refresh their AP & DP via the UI button without traveling to Edania.
| Entry Menu | Throne of Edana UI |
 |
 |
- Improved the World Map (M) to allow adventurers to view the previous week’s accumulated tax for the Throne of Edana.
- The accumulated tax is based on the period from immediately after the previous week’s Edana selection to just before the current week’s Edana selection.
- The current Edanas can view real-time tax status as before.
- Set the NPC Shop selling price of the Edana Rising Token to 30,000,000 Silver.
- The NPC Shop sale of the Edana Rising Token is restricted to within its 24-hour validity period.
- The phrase "Cannot be sold once expired" has been added to the item description.
- Improved the description shown when pressing the arrow button in the Throne of Edana UI.
- Updated the Edana button in the UI to display a visual effect when an Edana applies for another castle's Throne of Edana and becomes a challenger or the final challenger.
Arena of Solare
- Removed Flower-sunken Swamp from battlefields due to an issue where using certain skills could move characters to abnormal positions.

Barter Lv. 1 Trade Goods Updates
Around this time last year, we updated the list of inland materials that could be exchanged for Barter Lv. 1 trade goods. Since then, some items have become harder to find or have gone up in price. After review, we’ve removed items no longer appropriate for Lv. 1 exchanges and added others that could use more demand. These changes are aimed at making bartering smoother and more convenient.- Barterers have signed new contracts to accept inland materials in exchange for trade goods and announced that some items will no longer be accepted.
- Added the following inland materials → Lv. 1 Trade Goods barters:
- Additionally, Some inland materials trading has been discontinued.
