August 20 Patch Notes (Version 2.1)

Dear Wanderer,

We will be performing a non-disruptive maintenance update on August 20, 2026, from 5:00 to 10:00 (UTC+8). You can still log in and play during this time, though some features and modes may be temporarily unavailable. The update window may start earlier or run later depending on actual conditions, so please plan your play sessions accordingly. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Here is what Windtail has brought over from Eastwind Pavilion. Take a look at what's new below!

Optimizations

1. Improved camera controls in Build Mode. The Free Camera and Bird's-Eye Camera now support two-finger pinch-to-zoom on touchscreens, as well as scroll-wheel zoom with a mouse.
2. Improved controller support in Build Mode. The LB / RB buttons can now be held down for continuous camera adjustment and building rotation.
3. Improved the Retainer dispatch candidate list in the Homestead. Retainer status is now easier to read, making dispatch choices clearer at a glance.
4. We have adjusted the Attunement effects of the Vernal Umbrella Martial Art. On Tier 96 and higher gear, the Attunement affixes and will be merged into a single affix, .

This merged affix applies to both the Special Skill and the Light Charged Skill , giving you greater freedom in skill selection and reducing the cost of building multiple strategies. After the merge, a new Attunement affix will be added: .

When Tier 91 gear inherits Attunement, both the original and will carry over as . On Tier 96 and higher gear that has already been Attuned, these affixes will also be automatically updated to . This adjustment applies to the Attunement affix library for Tier 96 and higher Silkbind Jade.

Note that only the Tier 96 Silkbind Jade affix library will display two affixes at the same time, and this does not affect the random appearance rate of affixes.
