Legend of Ymir's first season - Season of Growth has begun. With this update, various seasonal elements and content introduced at the 3rd Valhalla Live have been added, increasing the means to strengthen your character. This season will last for about two months until the update on May 29th.

First, Directives are season-exclusive quests that can be performed 5 times a day. Three missions are randomly provided according to the character's level, and only one can be performed like a quest. Rewards include Silver, Amber, season-exclusive material Yggdrasil Seeds, and Rune Fragments. If you have enough Silver, it is recommended to use the Directive Refresh function to perform Directives with good rewards.

Season Valkyries and Season Disirs can be obtained by using the newly added Growth Summon or using Leap Summon Tickets. If a Hero Valkyrie appears in the Growth Summon, it is immediately acquired without a replacement process, unlike the regular summon, and the ceiling count for awarding a Season Hero Valkyrie Selection Box gradually decreases from 120 > 110 > 100 > 80 times. Since there is only one type of Season Disir, Ratatoskr of Growth is guaranteed to be acquired upon 120 summons. As before, Companions have a certain chance of producing a Season Companion when using Horn.

The Rune System is a seasonal growth element that increases combat power by equipping Runes acquired by defeating monsters or as rewards from seasonal content. Two Rune slots are opened at level 40, and one Rune slot is additionally opened at levels 45/50/55/60, allowing a total of 6 Runes to be equipped. Runes have different fixed options depending on the type, and Advanced to Heroic grade Runes have 1 to 3 random options added.

Season currency 'Growth Coin' can be obtained when refining Growth Refinement Stones and equipment of Rare grade or higher. This coin is used to craft the 3rd Unique grade equipment 'Megingjörð'. Megingjörð increases Accuracy and Evasion, and various damage and PvP stats, as well as skill cooldowns, are additionally added depending on the enhancement stage. When the maximum enhancement stage is reached, the skill God's Shout is added, providing a buff of 10% experience gain, 20% skill damage, and 3 mana recovery to nearby allies.

In addition, season-exclusive Rare equipment such as Valkyrie's Grail and Growth Necklace/Bracelet/Ring have been added. Among these, Valkyrie's Grail is equipped in the new slot, the Grail. It can be enhanced with the newly added Growth Enhancement Stone, and all Valkyrie's Grails below enhancement level 12 will be deleted at the end of the season. However, since the enhancement probability is lower than that of general equipment and the destruction probability is 100% upon failure, it seems quite difficult to create a +12 Valkyrie's Grail.

Various season-exclusive contents have also been added. Season Expedition does not share the number of entries with regular Expeditions and is divided into 4 difficulties. Unlike regular Expeditions, you must achieve a certain level of Growth Blessing in addition to level to challenge higher difficulties, so you must faithfully play the seasonal content. The main rewards are season-limited items such as Valkyrie's Grail, Growth Accessory Box, and Runes.

Season Valhalla Hall of Growth is a time-limited dungeon specialized in growth, and can be understood as Valkyrie's Hall, where all rooms except the starting point are experience rooms. If the character's Growth Blessing is 50 or more higher than the recommended level of the Hall of Growth, buffs of Onslaught/Guardian/Regeneration/Leap Blessing, which greatly increase various stats, are provided.

Growth Blessing is a kind of season-exclusive level. The main means of raising Growth Blessing are equipping and accompanying Season Valkyries/Disirs/Companions, Season Story Decks, first clear of Season Expeditions, and completing collections with Season Equipment or Antiques. From 50 or more Growth Blessings, the Growth Blessing buff, which increases hunting experience and item drop rate in all areas, is provided. The buff is divided into a total of 3 stages, and the maximum effect is received when holding 150 or more Growth Blessings.

Participating in these various seasonal activities will result in a season ranking based on them. The top 500 in the ranking will receive an additional buff that increases monster damage and monster damage defense.

Ymir Coin Deposit System has been added and various convenience improvements have been made. Ymir Coin Deposit is a system available from level 50. By depositing Ymir Coins in units of at least 100, you can earn Governance Coins every hour, and these coins can be used like voting rights in the server representative vote that will be updated later.

A level 50 passive skill suitable for the attack type has been added for each class. It can be purchased from the skill merchant NPC in Idun's Valley or Asgard Castle for 2 million Silver, and Evasion is increased for the melee classes Berserker and Warlord, and Accuracy is increased for the ranged classes Skald and Volva.

From now on, the packagability of Amber will be distinguished. Amber collected in the Amber Room in Valkyrie's Hall, World Tree Canyon floors 3-5, and Folkpang will be treated as packagable Amber, and Amber obtained by other means cannot be packaged.

The maximum number of repetitions for level 35 repeat quests has been greatly increased from 2 to 10 times. Now you can complete all quests in one place without receiving multiple quests. However, the number of repeat quests that give Twilight Ore remains at 2.

Various events have started with the start of the season. In the Idun's Growth Support 14-day attendance event, Leap Valkyrie/Disir Card Box, Growth Feathers needed to reset the Season Expedition, etc. are given according to the cumulative attendance days. The Returning Warrior 7-day attendance event is a 7-day attendance event for accounts whose last access date is before 8:00 AM on March 28th. The main rewards are the Returning Warrior Level Achievement Box, which includes a +9 Advanced Equipment Package and a Galar's Jormungandr Selection Box for each part. On the 7th day, a card to summon a Rare Disir is given as the final reward.

Sigurd's Training Journal performs various missions in 4 times and obtains Growth Fragments and Training Tokens, which are crafting materials, as rewards. Training Tokens can be used to craft Rune Boxes containing Normal~Rare Runes, Growth Feathers, Hall of Growth Charging Stones, and Growth Fragments can be used to craft the season Hero Companion Vinskauf.

Master's Rapid Growth Mission is an event that runs for 2 weeks and gives Yggdrasil Seeds, Hall of Growth Charging Stones, Growth Feathers, and Directive Additional Tickets when clearing Hall of Growth, Season Expedition, and Season Directives. If all missions are completed, a Shining Rune Box containing Normal~Hero grade Runes is additionally given.

Idun's Asgard Purification aims to eliminate monsters in Elite areas, Temples of Chaos, and World Tree Canyon. As rewards for each mission, you get an Enhancement Stone Selection Box and Option Appraisal Stone, and when all missions are achieved, you get a Lower Enhancement Supplement: Success.
