Historical Korean spring update preview · About these guides
This Korean preview discusses spring 2026 progression and economic plans. It is historical commentary, rather than a new North American announcement.
Bound Gold and Self-Funded Progression
The source describes changing half of eligible lower-bracket raid gold into bound gold. That scope depends on the specific raid, difficulty, region, and update; it is not a blanket rule for every Normal and Hard raid today.
- The source describes preserving total gold while restricting part of its use, with difficulty and transfer adjustments. Its stages 2 and 3 reference does not clearly identify every affected encounter. Check regional notes.
- It also mentions eleven Level 7 gems from a bound-gold shop. Confirm the actual gem type, eligibility, purchase limits, and binding. The description does not establish that any North American character can currently buy eleven unrestricted tradable gems.
Kazeros Extreme Raids
The Korean schedule began April 22: Act 1 ran through May 20, followed by Act 2 through June 17. Both dates are past. The Western Act 1 Extreme release was July 15, rather than the same April launch.
- The relevant Normal and Hard modes allowed an individual revival, while Nightmare did not. Nightmare titles and rewards follow the specific event rules; this is not a change to every ordinary Kazeros raid.
- The source mentions a first-clear card reward and 100 tokens. That does not establish an identical guaranteed reward list for every Western event. Check the applicable difficulty, first-clear scope, and current token exchange.
Wandering Merchant Cards
The source welcomes expanded access to Legion Commander cards and support-set cards. This does not instantly complete card awakenings or make every card available from every merchant. “Master of Spears” refers to the support set discussed here; confirm the current merchant inventory and regional additions.
Balance and Usability Plans
The preview anticipated changes to practical performance as well as damage values. It was written before the Korean April balance update.
- The official patch commentary later addressed performance gaps and awkward mechanics. The source’s broader predictions about which builds would be changed are not a substitute for the implemented regional notes.
LOA ON and Cosmetic Availability
The article anticipated a June summer showcase and discussed gaps in Korean cosmetic releases. That calendar has passed.
- It named May 6 for Neria’s Dressing Room and described a review of production cadence. This is a historical Korean preview, rather than a current North American sale date or a guarantee that future release gaps cannot occur.
- Its gender-based hint about the next class was promotional speculation. Choose from actual mechanics rather than assuming a class appeals to one gender.
