Anniversary Event 2026 - Beta to Live Changes​

Dear Players,
we've made several adjustments based on received feedback. The list of the changes can be found below. Don't forget to bring water and snacks while reading. Enjoy:

Anniversary Task Improvements​

  • Restructured task difficulty tiers so tasks feel more achievable and can be completed more frequently:
    • The old Hard tasks have been removed entirely
    • Medium tasks are now Hard tasks - same conditions, but on the Hard slot
    • Easy tasks are now Medium tasks - same conditions, but on the Medium slot
    • A new, even simpler Easy task has been added
  • Adjusted task rewards to reflect the higher task completion rate across all task difficulties:
    • Grand Prize progress per task:
      • Easy 40 → 30
      • Medium 60 → 35
      • Hard 80 → 40
    • Research Coins per task:
      • Easy 1 → 1
      • Medium 3 → 2
      • Hard 9 → 4
  • Lowered reroll costs to make rerolling more accessible:
    • Medium tasks: 0 (Free) → 10 (cap)
    • Hard tasks: 0 (Free) → 10 → 20 → 30 (cap)

Colorless Piece Improvements​

  • Doubled Grand Prize progress from all Colorless Pieces
    Grand Prize progress is earned each time you free a locked Colorless Piece on the board, so this change makes using Prismatic Essences more rewarding:
    • Level 1: 4 → 8 Grand Prize progress
    • Level 2: 8 → 16 Grand Prize progress
    • Level 3: 12 → 24 Grand Prize progress
    • Level 4: 16 → 32 Grand Prize progress

World Challenge Improvements​

  • Expanded the World Challenge from 10 levels to 20 levels
  • World levels now progress more easily
  • All Anniversary tasks now contribute 1 progress to the World Challenge Task
    Previously, Easy/Medium/Hard tasks gave 1/2/4 progress, which meant you had to carefully manage the order you collected rewards to avoid losing overflow progress
  • Completing a World Challenge Task now requires 14 progress (up from 12)
    Because tasks across all tiers are now completed much more frequently due to the Anniversary Task improvements, you will accumulate World Challenge progress faster despite the slightly higher threshold
  • Increased the task reward at max world level from 1 to 2 Network Coins

Grand Prizes, Silver & Golden Event Pass Changes​

  • Replaced Viaticum Lighthouse and Airship rewards (Selection Kits and all tiers of Upgrade Kits) in the Grand Prizes with:
    • World's Fair Selection Kits
    • One Up Kit
    • Mass Self-Aid Kit
    • Finish All Supply Productions
    • Store Building Kit
    • Renovation Kit
  • Increased Historical Allies fragment rewards from 250 to 500 fragments (Tamar of Georgia and David Soslan) and used the freed-up reward slots for additional World's Fair Selection Kits

Network Vault Changes​

  • Removed Finish All Special Productions from the Network Vault
  • Adjusted Eternal Market Platinum Selection Kit Fragments:
    • Changed from 100 fragments for 10 Network Coins (limit of 1) to 10 fragments for 1 Network Coin (limit of 10)
      The overall amount and cost stays the same, but allowing you now to buy exactly as many as you need
  • Increased cost for the One Down Kit to 3 Network Coins (limit of 35)
  • Added 4,000 Forge Points for 1 Network Coin (limit of 100)
  • Added 6,750 Goods of Current Era for 1 Network Coin (limit of 100)
  • Added Anniversary Boosters to the Network Vault:
    • 5 Gem Mines for 1 Network Coin (limit of 10)
    • 2 Gem Pickaxes for 1 Network Coin (limit of 10)
    • 1 Prismatic Essence for 1 Network Coin (limit of 10)

Phew... that's all. Thank you for your attention.
