It is a rather quiet week for V4. After teasing a massive update in last week's live stream, the developers seem to be hunkering down for the big push. In the interim, they’ve stocked the shop with new items and launched the second wave of the New Year ticket event. Additionally, the official community has been buzzing for two consecutive weeks with questions regarding the 'character gifting' feature. It has certainly caught the players' attention, so let’s dive into the details.

A notice to the bloodline

New Year items added to the V4 shop

The second week of January for V4 has been all about simple bug fixes and stuffing the in-game shop with new wares. First up, the 'Exchange - Diamond' page now features the New Year Coin Selection Pack. Priced at 2,000 diamonds and limited to 5 purchases per server, opening it grants you: '1 New Year Coin Selection Box (Character) - 1 Special Appearance/Mount 11x Summon Ticket (Character) - 5 Refined Serum Bundle Boxes (Character)'.

The New Year Coin Selection Box lets you choose one of three rewards. You can pick between 5,000 Eternal Coins, Clan Coins, or Dark Merchant Coins, so choose what your stash is lacking. These items will be available until January 21 at 4:59 AM.

Over in the Recommended/Special page, they’ve added the New Year Gift Box Package. It includes '1 New Year Gift Box (Character) - 10 New Year Serums (Character) - [Bonus] 500 Normal Diamonds (Account) - [Bonus] 990 Mileage (Account)', and yes, you can buy this 5 times per server as well. New Year Serums are buff potions that grant +10 Accuracy and +10 Additional Damage for 10 minutes. The New Year Gift Box itself is a loot box containing Legendary/Hero tier appearances, mounts, and Sephira summon tickets, priced at 9,900 KRW.

I have a question, Seer

Q. When is the character gifting feature arriving?
A. Scheduled for the update on January 21

V4 players are showing keen interest in the character gifting feature. It has been the top question on the official forum for two weeks running. Last week's hot topic was speculating on the character gifting feature, with many players breaking it down based on other MMORPGs. While the previous live stream only revealed the schedule, that brief mention was enough to stir the pot.

This week, a user named 'Baro' asked for the official release date. The answer lies in the V4 notice board under 'Monthly Content Schedule (January - February 2026)'. The feature is set to drop on January 21. On that same day, they are also rolling out changes to the server shuffling system—think of it as a fresh start under new rules.

This week's festival news

The Seer has prepared missions

V4 has prepared the Seer's Dungeon event this week, consisting of both check-in bonuses and missions. You have until January 21, 4:59 AM to participate. Let’s look at the missions: by clearing all 9, you earn Magic Orbs. The quests are tied to specific rewards—slay 5,000 monsters in the Abyss of Creation to get 300 Creation Magic Orbs. Faded Legacy and Ancient Workshop yield their respective orbs in the same quantities.

The check-in event offers gifts over 7 days. If you log in for the full duration, you’ll snag '3 Ancient Relic Boxes - 35 Evolution Stones - 1 million Gold - 10 Pure Bloodstone Selection Boxes - 1 Mount 11x Summon Ticket III'. Make sure to keep your login streak alive.

I'm running out of tickets! New Year's Banquet Ticket Mission Part 2

The New Year's Banquet event celebrating 2026 is in full swing. The core of the event is collecting tickets to use on the prize board, but players have been feeling a bit short on supply. To help out, V4 has launched the 'Collect New Year Banquet Tickets! Part 2' mission event. There are six missions split into two themes: defeat 5 World Bosses and dismantle 150 pieces of equipment to complete the set. Good luck pulling the items you want with those tickets.
