They will also come with the 'Confusion Incense' effect, preventing monsters in dungeons from actively pursuing the player. (Mounts included in the base game have a default movement speed of +150 in scenes and +750 on the world map.)
All Codex entries marked as DLC will no longer count toward overall Codex completion progress.
If you have installed any MODs in previous versions of the game, the update may cause compatibility issues, preventing the game from launching properly or causing errors during gameplay. If you encounter such issues, we recommend uninstalling any installed MODs (go to your game library, right-click on "Wandering Sword", select "Manage", then "Browse local files", and delete all contents under the path Wandering_Sword\\Content\\Paks). After that, verify the integrity of the game files and try launching the game again.
If Steam is unable to update the game, you can try deleting the steam.cfg file in the Steam directory, then restart Steam and check for client updates.
That’s all for today’s update! We sincerely thank you for your continued support, understanding, and patience as we work to bring you the best possible experience. We hope you enjoy exploring the Eastern Sea, encountering new characters, and taking on the fresh challenges that await in Wandering Sword. As always, we welcome your feedback and look forward to seeing you again in the martial world! 🗡️

Greetings Swordsmen!
We’ve just rolled out a small but important patch with several bug fixes and optimization updates. Read on for the full list of changes:
🛠 Fixes
Fixed an issue with Shangguan Hong's sword dance CG animation behaving incorrectly on Nameless Isle
Fixed a bug where Bu Weiyue might have abnormal stats when joining the party; affected save files will now auto-correct after the update
Corrected several typos across in-game text
Fixed a bug where players could ask Tang Tong about the Face Spider even during older main questlines
Fixed a combat animation error when using the Jade Dragon Spear with the Wudang appearance
Fixed an issue where players could unlock the Qingyun's Legacy without meeting the proper requirements
(Previously, unlocking the Tianshan Sect's Legacy would incorrectly also unlock Qingyun's Legacy—this has now been fixed)
Updated the skill descriptions for certain sandbox abilities to better reflect their actual in-game effects
Fixed an issue where the "All Is Mind" (万法唯识) weapon in the Tier A reward chest on Mirage Island Floor 7 had no forging attribute
Players who obtained the incorrect version can place it in their inventory and return to Mirage Island; it will be auto-replaced at the entrance
Fixed an issue where equipment rewards in Mirage Island under the “8 Modifiers” Nightmare extension lacked max-tier stats
🌊 Secrets of the Eastern Sea DLC (v1.24.23) – Additional Notes
The June 19 update added Baidi Sword Spirit, a new exclusive skill for Sima Ling
If you had previously completed the full compendium, you can now re-claim the full skill reward by unlocking this new entry
To unlock: Complete the \[MAIN STORY] Shadowmere Marsh and trigger the gatekeeper cutscene with Shangguan Hong and Sima Ling
If you’ve already completed this part, simply spar with Sima Ling and save your game to unlock the skill
Fixed a bug from the Echoes of Ash and Dust version where 100% damage immunity (with no HP loss) would be mistakenly treated as an evasion
Adjusted the text description for the Level 7 effect of Three Enclosures' Force to match its actual in-game effect
⚠️ MOD Compatibility Reminder
If you’ve installed any MODs, this update may cause crashes or errors due to incompatibility. Please uninstall all MODs, verify your game files, and restart the game to avoid issues.
