Welcome, everyone. It's time for another Weekly Forum Highlight for 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH'. The team has just dropped a developer note that feels a bit more significant than usual, laying out the plans for the upcoming first-anniversary celebrations and the next wave of updates. We’ve got the lowdown on the May 14th patch, including the arrival of the new hero 'Karl Heron', anniversary events, and a fresh batch of costumes. Let’s dive into what’s been shaking up the community this week.

Developer Note: Celebrating the First Anniversary

With the first anniversary of Seven Knights Re:BIRTH landing on May 15th, the developers have pulled back the curtain with their 36th developer note. As expected, the community at the official lounge has been buzzing with anticipation.

The headline act is the May 14th update. We’re finally seeing the last of the Night Crows, Karl Heron, join the fray just in time for the anniversary festivities. Expect a visual overhaul too: the title screen is getting a makeover featuring the 'Celestial Guardians' in their finest gala attire, alongside new app icons and loading animations. Naturally, you'll be able to grab these looks as in-game costumes.

For those who missed the boat during the 0.5-anniversary event, the team is bringing back those exclusive costumes and profile icons. They’ll be available for rubies, so if you’ve been hoarding currency, now’s the time to spend it.

On top of that, the devs are finally addressing player feedback. We're looking at improvements to the Topaz Shop, expedition tweaks, streamlined raid visuals, and a much-needed polish to equipment management. It’s a solid list of quality-of-life changes—now we just have to wait for May 14th.

Q. Is the 'equipment unequip fee' gone for good?
A. Yes, it was scrapped in the March 19th update.

Before March 19th, swapping gear in Seven Knights Re:BIRTH felt like a tax on your gold reserves. Even with frequent 'discount' events, players weren't happy, and the devs have finally listened by making the whole process free.

It’s a common point of confusion for new and returning players who keep asking about the fee. Since the prompt no longer pops up, some folks still think they're losing gold, but rest assured, as per the previous update, you can swap your gear around to your heart’s content without paying a dime.

Parents' Day Mission Event

The month of family celebrations continues. From May 7th at 9:00 AM until maintenance on May 14th, you can tackle the Parents' Day mission event. The tasks range from simple stuff like 'check the content dashboard' to more time-consuming grinds like 50 arena matches or 10 growth dungeon clears.

Clear all the missions, and you’ll walk away with 100 free rubies, 20 Hero Summon Tickets, and 20 Pet Summon Tickets. Keep an eye on the schedule so you don't miss out on the loot.

Top-ranked 'Manwol' guild is recruiting!

Manwol, the reigning champions of the last raid season, are looking for one last member to fill their ranks. They’re after a dedicated player, so let’s look at their recruitment requirements.

Being the top raid guild, they have strict criteria. You'll need a 6-transcendence 'Xiao' and 'Baekryong'—essential for their strats—and a fully maxed-out 'Windy' pet for PvE high scores. The good news? They don't have a strict score requirement for siege battles, and they provide internal guides for guild wars, so you don't need to be a tactical genius to jump in.

Manwol’s recent record speaks for itself: EX+ rank in all siege days, 49th in guild wars, and 1st in the raids. If you’re at that level, drop them an application.

Crimson Dash 'Lu Bu'

'Teo's' gender-bending 'Judgmental Moonlight' costume, Lu Bu is getting a legendary-grade makeover. 'Crimson Dash' is a fresh take on the character, available via the [Legendary] Costume Summon from May 7th, 9:00 AM to May 21st, 8:59 AM.

The design detail is impressive—especially the bike. They’ve reimagined Lu Bu’s Red Hare as a motorcycle, keeping to his signature crimson colour scheme for a striking look. The gender-swapped Lu Bu looks great in the new get-up, with flowing red hair that matches the spear perfectly. Check out the standing image below.
