Event precautions
- Check each event’s timeline before participating. If server maintenance occurs on an event’s final day, the event ends when maintenance begins.
- Rewards sent via mail arrive in your Mailbox within 10 minutes of being claimed. Be sure to claim them before they expire.
This update packs a lot into October, a long login campaign for casual players, a new zone and boss for people who like to grind for blueprints and cores, and a token shop with some very tempting high-ticket items. Share your thoughts in the comments, and follow us on X and Bluesky.
