  • Fame / amplification reorganization
    • Fame Reorganization: The gap in Fame has widened due to the deletion of equipment growth, so Fame has been readjusted to be more related to damage.
    • Amplification Reorganization:
      • Expected to stabilize performance compared to Fame increase.
      • Amplification power has dropped drastically. Starting from +10 amp, overall damage option will be added. 0.2% and 0.4% added with +11 and +12
      • It's not a big damage change but they don't want Amplification to become an requirement for everyone.
      • For reinforcement, we plan to add overall damage pass +12
  • Improved combat system: They plan to provide intuitive combat feedback by improving the existing combat system
    • Improving the Neutralization system: Planned to change to an intuitive structure based on damage.

    • Kaleido Box/Transcendence/Sealed scene and UI improvements
  • World map improvements: Improved world map to allow immersion into the world of DnF
  • Dungeon Rank and Results Window: They plan to provide feedback on the best clear time for my account and my character, and improve it so that the faster you clear, the higher the rank you will receive.

  • Skin storage: A dedicated costume storage box will be added to the skin warehouse.
  • Quest skip/replay improvements: They plan to improve inconveniences related to repetitive scenario quests expected when entering the Gravity Fall scenario
    • Improved quest skip function: They plan to improve the accumulated act quest sections so that they can be accessed all at once based on the scenario progress within the adventure group.

New Equipment and Systems
  • Set Option Equipment/Set Point: Each piece of equipment has a set point, and options are activated based on the sum of the set points. The higher the set point of the equipment, the more powerful it is, allowing you to intuitively recognize its strength.
    • 12 set options: Sets consist of armor/accessories/special equipment. Equipment has damage-related options and set points
    • Apply set options: Rare equipment applies the set effect after adding up the single set points from unique or higher.
    • Set Option Rarity: Set option rarity increases as set points increase. Set option is strengthened when rarity increases.


  • Unique equipment: Equipment with various roles will be added during the farming process (e.g. Legion dungeon). Equipment cannot be adjusted/upgraded.
  • New Weapon Types: Level 115 weapons do not have common set points or set effects. We have reorganized the weapon mastery to allow for the use of a variety of weapons.
    • General weapons: With the existing form of the weapon, only the final damage (buff power) option is available, allowing intuitive equipment adoption with rarity
    • Legacy Weapons: Legacy weapons have various special options. Regardless of weapon type, you can use equipment by just looking at the options.


  • Mist God Weapon Upgrade: Fully upgraded ones are comparable to the new legendary weapon, usable even in Nabel raid.
  • Armory & Equipment Conversion: When equipment is dismantled, it is registered in the armory, and is designed to allow for easy replacement of equipment whenever necessary.
    • Equipment Dissemble: When dismantling equipment, you can obtain souls and register them in the armory. The souls can later be used as entry materials for the Worshippers of Extinction dungeon.
    • Armory: A place where dismantled equipment is gathered, where you can check the set points and options of the equipment.
    • Convert equipment: Converts the currently worn equipment to equipment registered in the armory, and transfers enchantments, amplification, fusion stones, etc. in bulk.
    • New gear souls will also be introduced; these only drop from disassembling Gravity Falls gear. Current gear souls will be classified as old souls, and while not directly usable in gear related systems, they will have other uses such as being used to enter Worshippers of Extinction.
  • Gear Tuning & Upgrades: They designed the system to allow you to get past stagnant areas while farming gear.
    • Equipment Tuning: This a 3-step process, and when tuning, the set point of the equipment increases. However, in the case of weapons, the final damage (buff power) and adventurer fame increase.
    • Equipment Upgrade: When you tune your equipment to level 3, you can upgrade your equipment to the next rarity. You can upgrade your equipment to the highest rarity, up to Epic.
    • Equipment Transcendence: Similar to the concept of transcending existing equipment, transcending level 115 equipment consumes a large amount of gold and materials.
    • Equipment inheritance improvement: Between level 110 to 115 and vice versa equipment  inheritance is possible, fusion stone inheritance applied
  • Farming Design Direction: They are designing it so that you can explore various dungeons and not suffer extreme losses no matter what choices you make.
    • The farming process is simple: run a dungeon, then obtain gear, then run higher dungeons. No in between processes such as rerolling custom epics. It will have a very intuitive and direct flow of Worshiper of Extinction → Advanced Dungeons → Legion → Raid.
  • Equipment Simulator: They plan to add a system that will allow you to virtually try on equipment and immediately experience changes in damage.

  • The dungeon is designed with action-oriented play so that the battle flow is not interrupted, allowing clear feedback on actions. New gimmick they're trying out where you make the boss fight each other.
