Only one character can be selected, and the chosen character comes with Ascension Materials up to Level 60. Players who are behind on the main story should complete the required Archon Quest before the November 3, 2026 deadline.
Players can earn 1,600 Primogems through anniversary mail and 10 Intertwined Fates from the login event. The login rewards also include Mora, Hero's Wit, and Dust of Enlightenment.
The anniversary mail contains additional gifts, including Fragile Resin, Sanctifying Elixir, and two commemorative gadgets.
Version 7.1 also resets the first-time Genesis Crystal purchase bonus. Players who previously used the double bonus can receive it again when purchasing an eligible Genesis Crystal pack after the update.
Note that this is a paid bonus and does not grant free Genesis Crystals.

Players should finish the required quest and claim their characters before November 3 to avoid missing out on the free rewards.
