Release time: 2024-12-21
During the battle against Varkolyn, the Sophoract’s power overflowed, tearing a rift through the very fabric of time and space. Beyond it, the Obsidian Legion looms, poised to engulf Mystraea. Amid the chaos, a mysterious "Wandering Merchant" appears, sealing the legion within the rift. Yet, as the horde of monsters grows, the seal begins to weaken. The merchant now calls upon knights to eliminate the rising threat.
In gratitude, he offers treasures unearthed from realms beyond imagination...

Event Gameplay
Wandering Merchant
During the event, you will encounter the Wandering Merchant in dungeons (including elite dungeons, Projection Dungeons, and Proving Grounds).
Note: The Wandering Merchant can only be found in single-player mode.
The Wandering Merchant appears randomly at any location within a dungeon, and his position will be shown on the map. You can interact with him up to 10 times per day. If the merchant is encountered but not interacted with, it will not count toward the limit.
Note: If the Wandering Merchant is encountered in a boss room, you must defeat the Boss before being able to interact with him.
Interacting with the Wandering Merchant will will attract monsters of the current dungeon, with a chance for the boss to appear. Defeating the monsters will earn you tokens, which can be exchanged for items from the Wandering Merchant.
Tokens are valid only within the current dungeon and will reset once you exit, regardless of whether they've been spent.

Interacting with the Wandering Merchants opens their shop with a variety of items. You can tell different merchants apart by their appearance!
The Wandering Merchant can be encountered multiple times in a single dungeon, but only one type of item can be exchanged.
For example: If you encounter a Wandering Merchant holding equipment in the Southern Steppes, all subsequent encounters in that dungeon will feature an equipment store.
Details of the items offered by the Wandering Merchant are shown in the image below:
Wandering Merchant Shop
Item Exchange
After defeating the monsters, interact with the Wandering Merchant to open the shop. The items in the shop are fixed for the current dungeon and will not be restocked. If you're not satisfied with the available items, you can spend tokens to refresh the shop’s inventory. Refreshing will not change the shop's type.
Along with enhancement materials, equipment, cards, and other goods, the shop also offers newly added Legendary equipment. More details are shown below.
Lock Item
If you don’t have enough tokens to exchange for the desired item, you can choose to "lock" the item by spending tokens. Locked items will have their required tokens reduced and will appear in all future Wandering Merchant shops. If you still don’t have enough tokens in the next encounter, you can continue to lock the item until you have enough to exchange for it.
Note: The token cost of locked items will not drop to zero. If you choose not to lock an item that was locked previously in the next dungeon, its price will remain at the discount. However, if you don't lock it again in the dungeon after that, the price will revert to the original price.
Please note that the Wandering Merchant shop has a capacity limit. If the number of locked items combined with the items in the shop exceeds this limit, the shop will not offer any new items.
New Skins Arrive in Gachapon Dispenser
After the update on December 26, 2024, the Gachapon Dispenser will feature the "Obsidian Legion" skinline. Check them out!
"In a doomed expedition, the dragon devoured the hero, while a knight hidden among the rubble narrowly survived. Returning to the town, he was bound atop a pyre, the crackling flames raging hungrily as villagers sang hymns to the gods. Yet the fire, destined to consume the knight, veered unexpectedly, its fury unbound, engulfing everyone in an instant.When the blaze finally subsided, the dragon had withered into its twilight, and humanity had found a new foe to hunt.From the ashes rose the knight, his greatsword resting heavy on his shoulder. He surveyed the desolation in silence before walking away, into a valley where only the dragon's remains lingered, waiting for a rainstorm that would come far too late."
"On the far side of time and space, a disgraced mage delved into the forbidden, her fall from grace transforming a once-noble scholar into a devotee of dark magic. By her side prowled a spectral beast, a harbinger of calamity and ruin. Wherever they passed, wastelands were left in their wake.Yet, beneath the fearsome veneer of the dark sorceress lay a stubborn secret, buried deep within her heart. When the rift in time appeared, she leapt through without hesitation, clinging to the faint hope of undoing it all.A message carried by black feathers has reached you—she seeks an audience."
