Black Spirit Mode
Developer Commentary
Black Spirit Mode is freshly revamped with the update today.
First of all, in this new Black Spirit Mode, Adventurers can now earn rewards based on Adventuring Fervor.
Adventurers can consume 200 points of Adventuring Fervor to gain EXP and obtain rewards from 1 minute of Black Spirit Mode Time.
Please note that Adventuring Fervor can only be consumed in units of 200 points, thus no Adventuring Fervor will be consumed
when consuming Black Spirit Mode Time if your Adventuring Fervor is below 200, and you will not gain EXP or obtain rewards.
However, consuming Black Spirit Mode Time will count as defeating enemies and progress relevant quests,
even if Adventuring Fervor is below 200 points, without gaining EXP or obtaining rewards from Black Spirit Mode.
Various Combat EXP Up and Item Drop Rate Up effects are also applied in the revamped Black Spirit Mode.
Effects from Offer Relics, Family Prestige, Rune of Experience, and Pet Skills are applied,
and items with Normal/Advanced Combat Buffs and/or Fortune Scrolls can also boost the rewards.
With the Adventuring Fervor update, rewards from normal hunting zones have increased significantly.
Now, Adventurers can consume all their Adventuring Fervor with just 5–6 hours of auto-combat in normal hunting zones,
so we have adjusted the accrual rate of Black Spirit Mode Time accordingly.
We would like to express our sincerest gratitude for the patience of all Adventurers despite the inconvenience from the temporary disabled Black Spirit Mode,
and we will continue to do our best to ensure you have an even more enjoyable adventure in the future.
