The 2023 summer expansion pack "Shadow of Jiuli" for the PC version of "Fantasy Westward Journey" has been tested on the development test server and has started further testing on some servers. Next, let’s take a look at what new gameplay and content is included in this new expansion pack?
First: New character - Shadow Elf. Looks like a bone elf. However, it is completely different from the bone elves. She was once the leader of Chi You's remnant party and intended to resurrect Chi You. Now, she is stepping out of the past and embracing a new life. In addition to the familiar Tianming sect, you can also join the Qiyu sect.
Like other characters, Shadow Elf also has two other appearances for you to choose from.
Second: New sect-Jiuli City. Located outside the Tang Dynasty, players can go to the outside of the Tang Dynasty (176,91) and enter through Feilian Phantom.
There are a total of 5 NPCs in Jiuli City. Each NPC has a different division of labor.
Chi You Shadow is responsible for apprenticeship, learning skills, refining Qian Yuan Dan, and resetting attribute points. It is worth noting that the reset attribute points here are only for players with levels 11-29.
Xing Tian is responsible for distributing sect missions, magic weapon missions, and sect contribution exchanges.
Fengzu Feilian was responsible for teleporting the disciples of the sect to Chang'an City.
The iron-eating beast is responsible for the transformation of weapons.
The Chief Disciple, in addition to being responsible for receiving the title, customizing the sect's secret recipe, and receiving the world trial tasks, is also responsible for all tasks related to the election for Chief Disciple.
A special feature of Jiuli City's sect is that it ignores 70% of the target's blocking value when attacking. Moreover, when casting a spell, the durability consumption rate of weapons and runestones is 20% of the normal rate. If you carry two great axes at the same time, it is only 10% of the normal value. In other words, if both giant axes carry special effects and are strong, the durability consumption will be lower! In addition, when the iron-eating beast switches weapons, it will consume 100 points of stamina.
It is worth noting that the highest level limit in Jiuli City is 109. Players cannot join Jiuli City through sect conversion. Players in Jiuli City can transfer out and become disciples of other sects. And after transferring out, it cannot be transferred back to Jiuli City.
In addition to new characters and new sects, there are also new ways to play! This is it: a world-shaking battle.
In this gameplay, players need to control the Shadow Elf and the Bone Elf respectively to explore two completely different timelines, the future that is about to collapse due to Chi You's resurrection, and the ancient times where Chi You is still unknown. And gradually unlock all the secrets of Chi You, Jiuli, and the fate of the three realms. In this gameplay, every decision made by the player is crucial. The key is that after completing all the plots of the Battle of the World gameplay, you will receive the special prop "Soul Seal Beyond Destiny". The effect is to increase the corrosion skill level to Soul Devouring! You know, among the erosion skills, Soul Devouring is the highest level! In this way, you can make yourself stronger.
In addition to the above content, the Hero Tournament has also been iterated.
Before the official start of the Hero Tournament, the trial challenge gameplay was launched. Players can challenge the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu created by Tiangong in the Wu Territory. After successfully challenging, they will receive experience, money, item rewards, and competition materials. Moreover, players can choose the challenge difficulty according to their own strength.
