The simplification of the main questline was always something that our veteran Adventurers asked us for every time we had a season server. So, we have implemented our Adventurers' idea by introducing the simplified questline this Summer Season Server. However, this questline will only be available for a limited time. By going on this questline, Adventurers will be able to progress freely. The questline will give rewards to help enhance Naru gear and gain skill points with the Secret Book of the Misty Breeze.
