I have rounded up all the latest event details and community chatter for you right here.

Martial Arts Webtoon 'Return of the Blossoming Blade' Collaboration Teased

B&S Revolution is set to cross paths with 'Return of the Blossoming Blade', a titan in the webtoon space. A teaser released on September 23rd confirmed the crossover, featuring the catchphrase 'Plum Blossom Sword Saint X Mount Hua Divine Dragon'. More importantly, it teased a 'Boosting World' opening—a new server designed for rapid, unprecedented growth that has certainly caught the players' attention.

A follow-up trailer provided more concrete details. The '1+2 Level-Up Boosting' suggests a system where players can gain three levels at once up to a certain Hongmoon level. Even more intriguing is the 'Unlimited Job Change' feature, allowing for seamless transitions whenever the mood strikes.

Players can also look forward to the 'Ten Thousand Mountains Dungeon' tied to the webtoon's narrative, along with character costumes, masks, emotes, new Guardian Spirits, and a starter kit for disciples. The community is currently in a state of eager anticipation, waiting for the full breakdown of these features.

Issue Q&A

Q. How do I acquire 'Strange Metal Fragments'?
A. Try your luck at upgrading Mythic gear to +15 or higher.

A community member named 'Benz' spotted a fellow player obtaining Hongmoon Collection items from an upgrade attempt. Realising that even failed upgrades yield these items, 'Benz' attempted it themselves but walked away empty-handed, prompting a question about the specific requirements.

The mystery was quickly solved by another user, 'Kkomabeol'. These items, known as 'Strange Metal Fragments' or 'Strange Ore Fragments', are only dropped when attempting to upgrade Mythic gear that is already at +15 or higher. It appears the item 'Benz' used was below that threshold. This mechanic was introduced in the April 24th update.

Mythic gear upgraded to +15 or beyond guarantees a yield of these collection items regardless of success or failure. The higher the enhancement level, the greater the quantity, and these fragments are tradable. You can verify the exact amount in the 'Additional Rewards' section before confirming your upgrade.

Weekly Nonogram

The Plum Blossom Emblem of the Mount Hua Sect

As the collaboration fever spreads throughout B&S Revolution, I have prepared a fitting Nonogram puzzle. Drawing inspiration from the webtoon's aesthetic, I chose the iconic Mount Hua plum blossom emblem.

The design looks simple but hides a complex structure of five overlapping petals and a central plum blossom motif. I have set the grid size to 15 to keep it approachable. Start with the outer border and work your way in.

The Sleeping Dragon of the Classic Classes: 'Kung Fu Master'

The power level distribution among top players is finally balancing out thanks to repeated adjustments. While the Warlock dominates at 16.4%, the rest of the pack is quite close, with only a 1.3% gap separating the 6th and 10th positions. Curiously, the Kung Fu Master—a class that usually holds its own—has slipped to 20th place with a mere 1% usage rate.

The Kung Fu Master was once a beloved staple, cherished for its visceral combat mechanics. However, it currently sits in the lower ranks. Perhaps the influx of newer, flashier classes is to blame, or maybe the recent buffs were simply underwhelming. To support all the Kung Fu Master mains out there, I have prepared some wallpapers.
