On the 21st, 'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) rolled out a substantial update, featuring the start of the 2nd Black Night Archipelago Masters League, a tweak to league regulations, quality-of-life adjustments for consumables, a slew of new events, and changes to integrated content matchmaking.

Let's dive into those rule changes for the Masters League, shall we? The number of alliances allowed has doubled from 10 to 20, and the minimum alliance distribution rate has been adjusted from 10% to 5%. It is worth noting, however, that these adjustments are to accommodate the 10 servers now congregating in the Masters League; they will remain in effect only until the maintenance on the 28th.

The buzz surrounding the Black Night Archipelago event monsters is quite real. The spawn window has been tightened from 21:50–22:20 to 22:00–22:20, though you will find more monsters to contend with. To balance this, points for taking down field and roaming bosses across the four archipelagos have climbed: top contributors for field bosses net an extra 10 points, while those landing the final blow on roaming bosses get a 5-point boost.

Alongside the new content, a flurry of events has kicked off. You can snag 'Dream Stones' and weapon appearance re-synthesis tickets through the attendance book, collect 'Hero's Proof: Growth' to trade for items, or dive into the new archipelago and Masters League support attendance rewards.

Beyond these, the team has patched up consumable usage, tweaked the field boss 'Darcus' in the 5th Archipelago, and squashed a bug where the auto-maintenance exit popup displayed raw code. You can find the full, exhaustive list of patch notes on the official Arthdal Chronicles website.
