Six update-day myths: no extra slot, no raid, 11:30 end
✍️ Alice・愛麗沙
Six lines, six answers. ① No new character slot — the notice itself calls the line a misprint. ② The team dungeon is 9/21, not today — absent from the maintenance notice, and absent from the patch notes posted at 11:30. ③ “Cloud Wasteland” appearing twice in the notice is one place: a region that is also a hunting ground. ④ Enchant opens, and what can be assembled from zero is the accessory scroll; the weapon-scroll box at the Cat Captain costs 120 Proof of Expedition, armour waits for 9/21, and field-boss Hard’s fragments open 9/14. ⑤ Silver alloy is recalled with the materials refunded, not deleted. ⑥ Maintenance is scheduled to 11:30, not the customary 9:00. Every line has an official sentence behind it; they are matched below. For a reader with no server yet, this is also the precise list of what a “Wilderness” update contains.
One. “Free +1 character slot” — struck out by the notice itself
The maintenance notice updated at 21:08 on 9/8, second line of the maintenance contents:
Character slot free expansion +1. This is a misprint; slots were already open to the cap at launch. We apologise for the confusion.
So no new slot on update day. The line spreads because of a misunderstanding — that a new class needs a new character. It does not. Class follows weapon and emblem; your current character becomes a Lightning Mage by equipping a coil. Slot count has nothing to do with it.
Two. The raid opens today — no, 9/21
Twelve days.
The official event page prints the date for “White Succubus & Black Succubus” in its artwork: scheduled 9/21 (Mon). The maintenance notice lists the new class, the story chapter, three lands, five dungeons and hunting grounds, enchant — no team dungeon. The patch notes posted at the end of maintenance (3541097) run past thirty thousand characters and likewise say not a word about the raid; the two things they do announce ahead are field-boss Hard and Abyss Hell 3 on 9/14. Korea did not open the Succubus raid on the same day as the Wilderness either, so Taiwan is not late; it is on the same beat. No party needed today.
Three. “Cloud Wasteland” is two places — it is one
The notice’s two lines:
Adds the “Bangor”, “Gairech Hill” and “Cloud Wasteland” regions with their gatherables, side quests and part-time jobs. Adds “Bari Block 1”, “Bari Block 2”, “Cloud Wasteland”, “Mas Deep Dungeon”, “the black hole to the Abyss” and other dungeons, hunting grounds and field bosses … The same name on both lines. One map with two identities: as a region it has gatherables, side quests and jobs; as a hunting ground it has a difficulty menu, area bosses, a field boss and holes. Ice Gorge is the same. The nine-area article covers the hunting-ground face.
Four. Enchant is open, so every scroll — accessories only
The system is genuinely new. But scrolls come in four kinds — weapon, armour, accessory, emblem — each recognising its own gear, and the shelf on update day reads:
- Weapon: the guaranteed reward is in Glas Ghaibhleann Very Hard, which Taiwan has open only to Hard; but the patch notes put the Enchant Scroll Selection Box: Glas Ghaibhleann (附魔卷軸選擇箱:格里斯貝恩) in the Cat Captain’s Shop at 120 Proof of Expedition each — proofs cap at 20 a week, so one every six weeks.
- Armour: source is the White Succubus guaranteed reward, 9/21.
- Accessory: fragments and finished scrolls from the mines and Mas Deep, plus Molly’s direct sale at 400 fossils — assemblable today; the field-boss Hard fragments arrive 9/14.
- Emblem: none in season 0.
So what can be done is the three accessory scrolls; the weapon cell is a six-week ledger. When you see “enchant fully open”, ask: which kind of scroll?
Five. Silver alloy disappears — recalled plus refunded
The 8/26 patch notes: at the 9/9 maintenance, obtained silver alloy ingots are recalled from bags, storage and mailboxes, and the materials paid in barter are refunded.
The recall is real, but it is not confiscation. The special steel you paid comes back. The two grey areas the notice left (how already-consumed ingots count; whether the refund arrives by mail or in the bag) resolve on login. And from this stage, silver alloy has a legitimate source — in Bangor.
Six. Maintenance ends at 9:00 — scheduled 11:30
Taiwan’s routine maintenance runs 06:00–09:00. This notice says 06:00–11:30, five and a half hours, because it is a major version.
The notice also says it may end early or be extended. One regularity: patch notes post when maintenance ends — so the appearance of the patch notes is the opening signal; no need to keep relaunching the game.

Why these six spread
Four come from the notice’s own wording (the misprint, one name on two lines, the gap between a system’s name and its content progress, the recall phrasing); two from custom (raids ship with major versions; maintenance takes three hours). Update-day information is not scarce; it is abundant and uniformly formatted — every line looks equally important. This article only separates “really there today” from “named, but not there today”. Korea’s 2025-06-19 notice produced the same kinds of confusion, and what that week taught is in the 447-day comparison.
What to do now
- There today: the new class, story chapter 2, three lands, two mines, Mas Deep, the Abyss hole, accessory enchant.
- Not there today: a new character slot, the team dungeon, armour scrolls, field-boss Hard (9/14), Very Hard in the mines, a level cap raise.
- Do not spam login before 11:30; watch for the patch notes.
What would overturn this: the patch notes were posted at 11:30 and checked — neither a cap raise nor Very Hard in the mines is in them (the ten things the notes add); the event page’s 9/21 is “scheduled”, and Taiwan has withdrawn scheduled content before (8/5, “event planning adjusted”), so the raid date follows the formal notice before 9/21.
