🆕 New Features & Improvements

📜 Improved Quest Visibility (New Players)

• Level restrictions have been removed — you can now unlock quests progressively without being blocked.

• This change reduces unnecessary backtracking and keeps gameplay flowing smoothly.

A brand-new tutorial introduces core gameplay mechanics:

• Movement and world interaction

• Monster killing and Rift closing

• Gear upgrading and magical enchantments

• Pet system introduction (Powerlevel 5)

• Early gameplay now focuses on tutorial quests only.

• Most additional quests unlock at Level 5 for a cleaner start.

• Further adjustments after Level 5 are planned to improve quest flow.

---

🔄 Changes

• Upgrading carries a risk of downgrade on failure.

• Optional:

• Available during the event and in the Itemshop.

📈 Reward Scaling
