[ JUNE ]
We’ve finished Arena Championship 4! It was the first
Arena season where your equipment and skillsets, utilizing
new equipment from World 7, take a big chunk in your
battles. Were you able to efficiently use your skills and
make your challengers dumbfounded?
Also, along with the bountiful NCG rewards, top players
were rewarded with an exclusive costume featuring the
Dark Enchantress Lamia from World 7. Wear this costume
with pride as a symbol of your victories from the Arena
Championship.
[ JUNE ]
Along with other features updated with the v20030 of Nine
Chronicles, something special called “Mead” and “Patrons”
system had been added. In short, ‘Mead’ serves as a
dedicated currency for network fees, designed to keep and
protect Nine Chronicles’ ecosystem healthier. Patrons play
the role of providing mead to other players. Currently, Nine
Chronicles team is the sole provider of Mead. Mead system
is still underdevelopment. More detailed system updates
are planned along the way. If you would like to learn more
about the Mead system, visit Nine Chronicles Docs.
