The March Version Update Has Landed! (10/03/2026)
In this first round of updates to the Trust magic system, alter ego points can now be used to upgrade the basic stats of your alter egos.
As part of this update and others to come, we are shifting the Trust magic system from a party-support role to one focused on expanding solo play. We will also continue refining its core mechanics as part of a broader overhaul of the overall system.
We have also made the following updates based on everyone's feedback.
=====
- Added job points and exemplar points as rewards to the treasure chests that can be opened with Unique data in the Limbus battle content.
- Reduced the waiting period needed to rejoin the battle after leaving the battle area in Colonization Reives, Lair Reives, and Wildskeeper Reives.

Out of nowhere, giant monsters have appeared in places where they most definitely do not belong. These unexpected visitors have the potential to throw the surrounding areas into utter chaos.
