NEW FAIRY UPGRADES- Auto-Sell Useless Gears - With the latest fairy update, gears that drop with completely worse stats can now be automatically sold.- Aggressive Sell - The useless gear system can be more aggressive: items are only kept if they are better than the currently equipped gear, otherwise they are automatically sold.BUG FIXES- Fixed an issue where some story flows could be skipped when "Skip Dialogs" was enabled, even though they were not supposed to be skippable, causing required events not to trigger and blocking progression.- Fixed an issue where the dialog history was always showing the oldest conversations instead of the most recent ones.

Along the way, you will encounter brand-new NPCs and experience a more narrative-driven adventure than ever before.One of the biggest additions in this update is the arrival of Tier 3 Bosses.

- 2.4.16 - Hotfix - 27 December 2025
ImprovementsNumber Suffix CleanupNumber suffixes were confusing. The old order used K, M, B, T, Q followed by single lowercase letters (a, b, c, d) and then patterns like aa, ab … ba, bb, bc. Single lowercase letters were removed entirely due to visual confusion (similarity to the first pattern and characters like l being mistaken for numbers). The new order is now: K, M, B, T, Q, aa, ab … ba, bb, bc. FixesStat Upgrade Indicators & Max Level BugFixed issues with stat upgrade indicators and an incorrect max level behavior. Fairy Slot Amount Update FixFixed an issue where potion amounts in Fairy slots were not updating correctly. This was likely the root cause of some intermittent skill bar update issues as well, which should now be resolved. If you still encounter similar problems, please report them.
- 2.4.15 - Patch Update - 27 December 2025

- v2.4.8 - Patch Update - 22 December 2025
Improvements Gave the item sorter a motivational speech. It now sorts things like it actually cares. Added HUD customization so you can finally decide which item deserves to be seen. Bugfix Fixed an issue where effects you applied to mobs proudly showed up as team effects. Nice try, mobs. Stopped items from forcing themselves into gear slots. Consent matters, even for inventory.

- 2.4.7 - Bugfix Update - 21 December 2025
Bugfix Convinced the Fairy to stop selling items without our permission. Had a serious talk with Corin about not dancing mid-battle. The translator will now try harder, remember your preference, and stop forgetting the selected language after the first screen.

- Based on Your Feedback: Gameplay Update - 16 December 2025
We heard you.Based on your feedback, we made the game more idle-friendly and added the ability to play with multiple heroes through sidekicks. By closely following community comments and suggestions, we also introduced many new improvements and refinements. This update is a direct result of that feedback loop.Team Play and SidekicksHeroes do not form a fixed party. Instead, each hero can unlock the ability to summon one or two other unlocked heroes as sidekicks during gameplay. Sidekicks support the active hero rather than acting as full party members.If a sidekick enters the Near Death state, they cannot continue fighting but continue to gain experience.Near Death StateHeroes no longer die when their health reaches zero. Instead, they enter a Near Death state. They can still fight, but with reduced attack speed. Revive them to restore full effectiveness. Sidekicks in Near Death state a…
