Historical Korean July 1 update · About these guides
Korea’s July 1, 2026 update expanded certain Advanced Honing transfer cases and removed an Act 4 clear prerequisite for Denouement. This is a historical update guide, not a new Western announcement.
The changes reduced specific progression restrictions and corrected reward problems. Their exact scope matters: they did not make every transfer identical or remove every quest and item-level requirement.
Advanced Honing Transfer
In cases where same-tier or higher gear transfer is unavailable, the Korean update added transfer of Advanced Honing information. Depending on the items, quality alone, Advanced Honing alone, or both can transfer. Inspect the preview and source-item consumption. Western September notes include the corresponding improvement.
Denouement Access
The Korean update removed the requirement to clear Act 4’s final gate. Western July notes likewise allow entry after “Path of Destiny” and the required item level. Denouement is advanced T4 content, not the initial gateway into Tier 4.
Combat and Convenience Changes
-
Deadeye Preset Adjustment: For the Korean tactical-ammunition style preset, Cursed Doll was replaced with Keen Blunt Weapon to match its ability-stone configuration. This is a specific supported preset correction, not an automatic change to every player’s engravings.
-
Bulk Use for an Entry Exchange Ticket: The Korean notes allow bulk use of the Elysian attempt +1 exchange ticket. This adds the item’s permitted entries; it does not bypass entry limits for unrelated content.
-
Tikatuka Fixes: The update corrected quest errors, inaccurate clicks while dragging, and hover problems at lower resolutions. These refer to the Korean Tikatuka feature and that historical patch.
Reward Corrections
-
Quality Upgrades During Warm-Up: The Korean Warm-Up program blocked quality upgrades during its staged gear replacement. Check the current program’s rules rather than applying that restriction to all Western characters.
-
Missing Rewards: For affected Korean characters, missing card rewards were delivered or corrected, with cards sent by mail where necessary and related resources placed in Universal Storage. Missing Legendary cores were supplied to the Ark Grid core list, rather than necessarily arriving as a mailbox chest.
What the Source Previewed Next
The article anticipated Korea’s July 8 Dimensionalist launch and summer skins. Those dates have passed; the Western class release was September 16. This is not next week’s content schedule.
-
Budget Planning: The source predicted higher material demand around launch. That is historical speculation, not evidence that prices will rise now. Budget for planned progression or cosmetics without assuming stockpiled materials will gain value.
Does Skipping Act 4 Forfeit Every Reward?
No. Removing an entry prerequisite does not automatically grant Act 4’s rewards or delete that content. Check the separate quest, clear, and reward conditions before deciding what to skip.
Why Was Quality Upgrading Blocked During Warm-Up?
The program replaced equipment at milestones, creating problems when upgraded items were removed. Korea’s notice describes restrictions and specific restoration or reimbursement cases, not a universal compensation entitlement.
How Do I Use the Entry Ticket in Bulk?
Use the item’s supported inventory action and quantity selection where available. Confirm the exact ticket and its conditions; the feature does not apply to every item with a similar name.
