Adjustments & Optimizations

Quests
  1. Adds a teleportation function for quest objectives: Some quest objective locations now support teleportation. Select a supported objective on the "Map" screen and click the "Go" button to teleport to the quest objective or a nearby location. (This feature initially applies to certain quests in the Version 7.0 update. Future versions expand support to more new quests and further optimize the feature.)
Enemies
  1. Optimizes how attempts are counted for the related "Valiant Chronicles" challenge objective to: "Before the Prism Slime first gathers light and swells, make sure it attempts to absorb energy no more than 2 times," so that the count more accurately reflects the enemy's skill actions.
Exploration
  1. Adjusts how Multi-Layered Maps are displayed on the "Map" screen to prevent the layouts of unexplored areas from being revealed prematurely and affecting the gameplay experience: A Multi-Layered Map and its corresponding button now appear only after the Traveler has reached or unlocked the relevant area (before this adjustment, Multi-Layered Maps were always visible). If the corresponding area contains a tracked point, including a tracked Teleport Waypoint, the Multi-Layered Map and its button remain visible.
  2. Optimizes the display logic when the "Luna Treasure Compass" and "Segment-Domain Treasure Compass" mark clues: Increases the display priority of Oculus icons to prevent them from being obscured by other icons. (The "Cryo Treasure Compass" introduced in Version 7.0 also incorporates this optimization.)
  3. Increases the pin limit on the Map from 300 to 350.
Adventurer Handbook
  1. Optimizes the sorting logic on the "Domains" page of the Adventurer Handbook: All Domains are now consistently sorted based on the version in which they were added and their unlock status, with unlocked Domains from more recent versions appearing higher in the list.
Inventory
  1. Increases the combined Inventory capacity for Character Development Items, Food, Materials, Gadgets, Quest Items, and Precious Items from 2,300 to 2,600.
  2. Increases the maximum number of Artifacts that can be stored in the Inventory from 2,400 to 2,700.
Audio
  1. Optimizes the sound effects in certain scenes, interfaces, and quests.
  2. Optimizes Chinese and Japanese voice-over lines in certain quests.
Other
  1. Adds gyroscope support for certain Android devices that do not have a magnetometer but support a gyroscope.
  2. Adjusts the visual effects of "Stellar-Conduct" and "Starlight Prism" when Graphics Quality is set to "Low" or "Lowest" to reduce performance load.
Genius Invokation TCG Balance Adjustment
  1. Adjusts the number of Elemental Dice required and DMG dealt by the Elemental Skill of the Character Card "Ifa": The Elemental Dice cost is adjusted from 2 Anemo Dice to 3, and the DMG dealt is adjusted from 1 Anemo DMG to 2 Anemo DMG.
  2. Adjusts the Radiant Hues enhancement effect "Radiant Hues: Swift Shadow" for the Elemental Skill of the Character Card "Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker." Its effect is adjusted to: "When you play Radiant Hues: Grant a random highest-cost card in your Hand Cost Reduction equal to the number of stacks of this status."
  3. Adjusts the Elemental Skill effect of the Character Card "Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker": Effect changed to "Deal 1 Cryo DMG, and place 1 Radiant Hues third from the top of your deck. If this is one of the first 4 times this skill is being used this game, then select 1 of 3 random Radiant Hues enhancement effects."
  4. Adjusts the effects of "Tonatiuh," a card generated by the Adventure effect. When Adventure Experience reaches 2, its effect is adjusted to "Draw 1 card." The DMG dealt by "Tide-Turning Sacred Lord" is adjusted to 3 Piercing DMG.
  5. Adjusts the effect of the Event Card "In Every House a Stove" when played in the first Round. Its effect is adjusted to: "If your deck initially contains at least 4/2 different Talent Cards, draw 2/1 Talent Cards."

Adds an additional location of Prime Ice that can be repeatedly demolished in the scene for the objective "Use Prime Ice Constructs to prop up the door" in the Archon Quest "Everwinter Without Mercy" to resolve the issue whereby, under certain circumstances, there would be no Prime Ice available to demolish within the area, preventing Travelers from obtaining Prime Ice Resource and progressing the quest.
