Look, let's be honest, the third live broadcast for Arthdal Chronicles is scheduled to air on September 7 at 8:00 PM. Following the strong interest in the September 1 stream, the publisher is shaking things up this time by hosting a pre-submitted question event alongside the usual real-time Q&A. It seems the team behind Arthdal Chronicles is actually gearing up to listen to what you have to say for once. Aside from that, they also dropped the news about expanding the floors of the Tower of Trials. KookminTree has rounded up all the relevant details and community gossip for you below.

Tower of Trials Floor Expansion

On September 2, the floor limits for the Tower of Trials went up. The Normal difficulty jumped from 110 to 120 floors, while the Trial difficulty stretched from 60 to 70 floors—adding 10 floors to each. With the maximum floors shifting, the 'Blessing of the Tower' effect that used to apply to the old bosses has now moved up to the new 120th and 70th-floor bosses. On top of that, the starting point of the Tower of Trials has been nudged closer to where the monsters actually spawn. Go ahead, conquer the absolute peak of the Tower of Trials and grab those rewards.

Let Me Know! Issue Q&A

Q. What on earth is that number displayed in front of character names?
A. It represents the character's combat power ranking within their current server.

While wandering around the fields or chatting in Arthdal Chronicles, you might occasionally spot players with numbers slapped right in front of their nicknames, leaving plenty of folks scratching their heads. As it turns out, this indicates the user's combat power ranking within their server as of last week, giving you a rough idea of just how ridiculously strong a particular player is. It comes in handy when you are engaging in some PvP over at Black Night Island or Frosty Cliff, so keep that in mind.

Q. Has the cost for extra dungeon rewards actually decreased?
A. Yes, it was applied in the September 2 update.

Back in the developer live stream on August 20, the team teased some tweaks to ease the heavy burden of spending diamonds. Among those, the 'dungeon extra reward cost' caught the community's attention, mostly because extra dungeon rewards are a feature players lean on heavily, making the upkeep painfully expensive up until now. Well, the 'Gem Consumption Discount Event' finally kicked off on September 2. Until further notice, the costs for dungeon extra rewards—alongside 'Spirit / Mount / Weapon Appearance Changes, Appearance Skill Resets, and Statue Liberation Resets plus Additional Symbol Granting'—are enjoying a hefty 50% discount. That basically halves the resources you need, making running extra dungeon rewards a lot less punishing on your wallet.

This Week's Improvement Board

Offline Mode Improvements Coming Soon

Offline mode in Arthdal Chronicles comes with a ton of strings attached. You cannot pick your preferred spot, and it is strictly locked to hunting grounds that yield 'more experience points'. Because of that, you cannot utilize time dungeons or hunting grounds of your own choosing. Naturally, complaints rolled in asking the developers to make offline mode far more flexible.

The folks behind Arthdal Chronicles explained that 'time dungeons were intentionally designed to dish out experience points and items more efficiently than regular fields within a short window,' which is why they were deliberately kept out of the offline mode options. Instead, they noted that they internally recognise the need to improve how regular field hunting grounds are selected. They are mulling over various ways to address this and promised to drop a separate announcement once those plans are set in stone.
