Separate announced systems from actions available now

The July 26 announcement gives no launch date. It also does not say whether current currencies will convert, what the conversion rate will be, or how daily caps will work. Claim rewards that expire under today's rules, keep currencies without a stated expiry, and do not empty balances merely because consolidation is planned.

Put the balance, core cosmetic, and expiry date for Damaqi (打马棋), Mengzhu Zhengfeng (萌主争锋), Juezhanglin (觉障林), and Duchenxu (渡尘墟) in one list. On rollout day, compare that list with the shared-currency icon and store before running the same mode repeatedly.

  • Now: claim expiring rewards and record the balance in all four modes.
  • Rollout day: record the shared balance, one-clear payout, and the price of the target cosmetic.
  • If one clear does not move the counter, check the claim screen and daily cap before starting another.

Shared-currency route: choose one mode, then use activity energy (心力) for the gap

Damaqi, Mengzhu Zhengfeng, Juezhanglin, and Duchenxu are planned to use one shared reward currency and store. Spending activity energy (心力) is also planned to grant that currency. Once live, choose the multiplayer mode you finish most consistently, run it twice unchanged, and record time plus currency from each result.

Stop when those clears cover the weekly store target. If you do not want to play any of the four modes, use the activity-energy route you already planned as the fallback; do not add both an unwanted multiplayer grind and extra energy spending for the same purchase.

  • Choose the store item first; target price minus balance is the actual weekly gap.
  • Use two equal runs to compare payout per minute instead of treating one result as normal.
  • Once the target is funded, return to Qingzhou Boundary Stones, Wenjin Academy, or the active event.

Free cosmetics and event shops: plan around two seasons

Future free event cosmetics, except crossover items, are planned to return in Bucuoxiao (不错小店) two seasons after removal. Future events will also show the expected return time. Record the removal season and count forward two seasons when deciding whether to finish a cosmetic now or pick it up later.

Event currency supply is planned to exceed the cost of clearing the store, with total supply and total exchange cost displayed. Prioritize the core cosmetic and limited items, subtract your balance from their combined cost, and stop doing event tasks when that number reaches zero.

  • Crossover cosmetics are excluded from the two-season return rule; use their current deadline.
  • Buy the core cosmetic before repeatable materials consume the budget.
  • When available supply exceeds your list's cost, skip tasks that do not close the remaining gap.

Duchenxu: keep future solo PVE separate from the current 2.7.5A route

The announced Duchenxu PVE mode will support solo play against AI and add unique PVE mechanics. A year-end Duchenxu map is planned for both PVP and PVE. On the first PVE run, map five things only: spawn, AI encounter positions, indoor chests, unique-mechanic triggers, and the completion or extraction condition. Leave high-value supplies out of that mapping run.

For the current 2.7.5A route, repeated red-quality misses raise the later red-quality search chance and more indoor chests are available. Use Yaowuxing (杳无形) to break contact and move rooms, but queue no player attack while hidden. Extraction zones prevent assassination, and Jue Ming Tu (绝命途) now uses a 300-second boundary-stone opening. These are current rules, not promised PVE rules.

  • Current short route: connect two nearby indoor-chest areas to one known extraction point.
  • Under pursuit, use Yaowuxing to change rooms, then choose combat or extraction after concealment ends.
  • Future PVE: map the route and mechanic points on run one; compare chest yield and clear time on run two.

Mengzhu Zhengfeng and storage: save lineup notes, clear mobile files now

Mengzhu Zhengfeng is planned to return permanently after pacing, balance, and lineup-sharing changes. Keep one stable lineup and one counter lineup with the core partners, substitute slot, and loss reason. When it returns, run each lineup twice under the new pacing before replacing units.

After resource splitting, the PC core install is planned under 100 GB, a nearly 40% reduction from the current size. That is a future target. Mobile cleanup is available now from the lower-left corner of the login screen and can release nearly 10 GB without reducing visual quality. Finish or cancel active downloads, run the built-in cleanup, then download only this week's modes.

  • On PC, wait for the resource-splitting control before rebuilding around the core package.
  • On mobile, use the login-screen cleanup instead of deleting game folders by hand.
  • As scene-specific controls roll out from August through October, save separate PVE, PVP, and solo-exploration layouts.
