On the 27th, 'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) rolled out its massive August update, introducing the new growth content 'Tree of Alchemy', the high-level party dungeon 'Temple of Crimson Flame', fresh skills, a quick reward function for alliances, a raft of events, and a long list of bug fixes.

The star of this update is undoubtedly the 'Tree of Alchemy'. It is a system that lets you recycle redundant gear to craft new items. You will need to sacrifice at least three to five pieces of Rare-grade or higher gear to initiate the process. Depending on the grade, type, and enhancement level of the materials used, your 'Alchemy Score' scales, which in turn dictates the quality of the rewards you receive.

Once the level is set based on your materials, you can tap the 'Predict' button to preview five potential rewards. If you are not satisfied with the roll, you can hit 'Predict' again to reshuffle the list—though, as you might expect in these systems, it will cost you extra Silver each time you try your luck.

After the final prediction, the alchemy process consumes your materials to grant one of the five items at specific rates. A word of caution: if any of the gear used as fodder is untradeable, the resulting item will also be bound to your account. Keep a sharp eye on those materials before hitting the button.

The arrival of the new party dungeon, 'Temple of Crimson Flame', is also turning heads. You can access it via the party dungeon menu once you complete the main quest [Act 5, Chapter 6: Another Threat]. While the Normal difficulty supports automatic party matching, the Heroic tier demands a bit more coordination as manual assembly is required. You will be facing colossal bosses that pack a punch, but the top-tier rewards should make the struggle worth your while.

Content tweaks are not the only thing on the menu. A series of events is also live: from the 'Transcendence Challenge Stage 1', where you collect 'Summoning Tokens: Transcendence' to craft gear, to the '7-Day Mercenary Growth Challenge' for daily missions, and the 'Temple of Crimson Flame Suppression' for bonus rewards. There is plenty of loot to satisfy your growth cravings, so do not miss out.

Beyond these, the patch includes new skills, an alliance quick-reward feature, the appearance of the event boss 'Mohittiak', the new 'Vulkar's Ember' headgear, various quality-of-life improvements for spirits and mounts, the 'Oath of Inaisin-gi' feature, and a host of bug fixes. You can find the full patch notes on the official Arthdal Chronicles website.
