Coming back for 1.0 after months away? Your save works, but the game plays differently. This is the re-entry guide, not a day-one tutorial.

Expect on first login

  • Some mission progress reset (rewards rebalanced)
  • XP recalculated to new curve (level should not drop)
  • Partner Skill text and values updated
  • Tower timers now 5 minutes
  1. Read patch summary linked below
  2. Re-run one cleared tower to learn new patterns
  3. Audit party for party-slot gather buffs
  4. Plan Sunreach unlock before chasing World Tree

Pocketpair recommends a new save for the full story flow. Existing saves remain compatible. New worlds also hatch eggs twice as fast on Normal/Hard.
