AFK Journey v1.1.14 Patch Notes

In order to improve your game experience, the server will undergo maintenance on May 10 from 7:00 to 9:00 UTC to update to v1.1.14. You will not be able to log in during this time. For the safety of your account data, please exit the game before the maintenance begins. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

New Season

1. The new Song of Strife season will soon be available for servers that have been active for 42 days. To unlock this and all future seasons, you’ll need to reach Resonance Level 240, clear all AFK Stages, and complete quest: The Last Leg. Once you’ve gained access to the season content, pick up the main quest in Holistone, and you’ll be all set to explore the new season map and uncover its epic tales!
2. Added the Ravaging Cleave cosmetic for Brutus, which can be obtained for free after completing the season’s main story quests.
3. Added Season AFK Stages, which are unlocked after you enter the season map. The available Instant AFK attempts will be reset upon entering the season.
4. Added Season Dream Realm, featuring 6 Dream Realm bosses, including 4 originals and 2 new ones, and new difficulty rewards. To access this mode, you’ll need to be on a server with accessible season content and have claimed all stage rewards of the non-season bosses on Endless difficulty. Plus, we’ve added a Dream Realm District leaderboard that offers exclusive ranking rewards. It won’t affect your ranking or rewards on the server leaderboard.
5. Added Season Legend Trial, which includes 4 towers and new floor rewards. To access this mode, you’ll need to be on a server with accessible season content and have cleared all non-season Legend Trial floors.
6. Added new systems for hero development: Season Resonance Level, Season Skills, and Season Equipment. These are unlocked once you enter the season map. For the best experience with the new season equipment, we recommend that you level up all your class equipment pieces to 240 before venturing into the season map.
7. Added Season Artifacts. You can obtain the following artifacts in version 1.1.14: Lightheal Spell, Cyclone Spell, Quickblade Spell, Full Moon Spell, Evocation Spell, and Cascade Spell. These Artifacts can be upgraded up to Level 30 within the season.
8. Added Magic Charms that all heroes except Chippy and Hammie can equip. The Magic Charms can provide additional stats and set bonuses and are primarily obtained through Dura’s Trials.
9. Added Supreme Arena mode, where you can compete against players from the same District. This mode is available every Wednesday through Sunday and offers generous daily rewards. For more details on this mode, please check the in-game description.
10. Added Dura’s Trials mode, which features different towers to challenge every day. Each tower provides a boost to different heroes to help you overcome these high-difficulty challenges. This mode will unlock on the 9th day after the season starts on a server and is recommended for players with a Season Resonance Level of 190 or higher. For more details on this mode, please check the in-game description.
11. Added Season Growth Path, which is unlocked once you enter the season map. Its rewards include the exclusive Mountaineer cosmetic.
