As with previous Content Updates, there will be server maintenance starting on January 21, from 4 p.m.–6 p.m. PST for Oceania, China, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe Servers, and on January 22, from 12 a.m.–2 a.m. PST for servers in the Americas. After the maintenance has concluded, all items mentioned below will be live—specific dates for any content going live afterward are provided below.
Tong-Shi’s Renewal Limited-Time Event
Tong-Shi—a god of the Xian pantheon—invites you to his Renewal, a call to bask in the fading glow of a finished year, begin the cycle anew, and welcome a new year with open arms and optimism.
From January 22, 3:00 a.m.–February 13 2:59 a.m. server time, players can complete up to five tasks a day to earn festive rewards, such as Red Bags and Tseym.
The 5 tasks to complete for rewards include: Dungeons, Elder Rifts, killing elite monsters, Bounties, and defeating Jingun (once he’s been found). Completing these tasks earns you Red Bags and Tseym. There is no limit to the number of times you can complete these tasks for rewards, but there is a weekly limit for how many rewards you can earn—30 Red Bags and 100 Tseym each week that Tong-Shi’s Renewal is active.
Red Bags are celebratory Tong-Shi’s Renewal rewards that can be gifted to a friend or to your Clan. Not only will you receive rewards when you open Red Bags sent to you, but you’ll also receive rewards for sending Red Bags. Spread the blessings of Tong-Shi’s Renewal by sending and receiving as many Red Bags as you can get your hands on! Don’t forget to claim a free Red Bag every day you log-in from the log-in rewards tab within the event, which will not contribute to your overall limit.
You’ll receive the following rewards for sending Red Bags in-game:
- 1 Red Bag = 1-Star Legendary Gem
- 20 Red Bags = 2-Star Legendary Gems
- 40 Red Bags = 3-Star Legendary Gems
- 60 Red Bags = 3 Rare Crests
Completing daily event tasks can also yield Tseyms. Each time you contribute a Tseym, you’ll receive a random reward:
- Gold
- Scrap
- Dust
- Random Legendary Item
If you miss a log-in day, you can complete a quest to complete which will allow you to claim your missed rewards. Missed rewards must be claimed in order.
Jingun, Eater of Mountains
From January 22, 3 a.m.–February 13, 2:59 a.m. local server time, band together with fellow Adventurers and hunt down the fabled terror Jingun, Eater of Mountains.

Defeating the Mountain Eater the first time will earn you 1 Telluric Pearl and a Legendary Item, defeating each time after that grants 2 Red Bags for Tong-Shi’s Renewal.

For Immortals, when you turn in your Sigils, you can now turn multiples in at one time rather than needing to do them one at a time. Enjoy your newfound stacking.
Survivor’s Bane Updates
This UI change indicates which classes a chosen skill are from.
Developer’s Note: The intent behind this change is that Survivor’s Bane has internal achievements for upgrading 2 skills from a single class fully during a single session to unlock a skill which can be used in future sessions. This change is intended to make it easier to know which skills belong to which class in case players aren’t certain.
