Changelog

New this week from the hub's data sources (updated automatically):

• 1 new companion (view): Pera

New this week from the hub's data sources (updated automatically):

• 8 new class builds (view): Single Target, AoE, Healing Build, Generalist DPS, Situational DPS, Healing Build, Single Target (Premium), Area of Effect (Premium)
• 13 new companions (view): Ruby, Liang, XiXi, Lucille, Jiu Yue, Zeus (Wheel), Nezha, Ao Lie, and 5 more
• 4 new fantomons (view): Cabbage Dog, Luminarch Steed, Prismora, Yoldra

• Fantomon ability trees — every Fantomon card now has its full ability tree: all 10 pages laid out as a branching chart from the starting node, special-bonus nodes highlighted, and every node's exact stats on hover. Each tree shows its type (Offense, Defense or Balanced), its strength tier, and which other Fantomons share it

• Videos from the official channel and QY Maple — Guides > Video Guides now has a switch for each source: Official Sword x Staff (trailers, character PVs, event previews), QY Maple (their English guides) and Guild Picks (videos members share). New videos appear automatically twice a day and play right on the page
• Video Guides now carry every video from each channel, not just the latest 15: the full official Sword x Staff channel and every English QY Maple video, newest first, with a Show more button for older ones.
• QY Maple videos are now sorted by season: a chip for each season (opening on the current one), a General group for videos not tied to one season, a title search, and a season badge on every video. Videos about seasons we haven't reached yet are marked as previews from the Taiwan server.
• Class Builds are now separated by season on every tab (EOG, Prydwen, L&W and Guild Contributed) and open on the current season. Builds are sorted by class tier, and each one has a season badge.
• Guides are separated by season too: the EOG, Prydwen, L&W and Guild Picks tabs have season chips and badges. Guides that apply to every season are under General, and the Companion and Food guides are marked All seasons.
• Events & Polls: guild events with a month, week and list calendar, sign-ups (Going/Maybe/Can't or class slots, caps with waitlists, deadlines, rank-only events), repeating events, reminders, attendance tracking, templates and polls, including find-the-best-time polls. Guild Members and above can create them.
• Valkyrie, the guild's own Discord bot: every event and poll is posted in Discord with sign-up and vote buttons, its own thread and an entry in the server's Events tab, with reminders in the channel or by DM. Replaces Sesh.
• Add guild events to Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar with a personal link, and opt in to a Discord DM before every event you're going to.
• Guild Chat is now built into the site (replaces WidgetBot): every channel your Discord roles give you, with the server's categories, role colours, member list, emoji, images and embeds. Messages you send appear in Discord under your own name and avatar. Full page under Guild Chat, compact version on the home page.
• Run events and polls from Discord: /event create, edit, cancel and list, and /poll create and close, with a short pop-up form. Type times the way you'd say them ("tomorrow 8pm", "Tue 20:00", "10/14 8:30pm"); set yours with /timezone.
• Choose your pings: opt into ping groups (e.g. Event Pings, Poll Pings, or groups like Guild Boss) and turn reminder mentions and DM reminders on or off, with /pings in Discord or the My pings tab on Events & Polls. Events and polls can ping one group when they're posted.
• Choose your pings: Guild Members are pinged when new events and polls are posted, and can switch off any category (Events, Polls, or ones like Guild Boss) plus reminder mentions and DM reminders, with /pings in Discord or the My pings tab on Events & Polls. No extra Discord roles needed.
• Pick which Discord roles an event is for - on the site or with /event create (role, role2, role3). Those members get the ping, the post shows who it's for, and you can make sign-ups for those roles only.
• Repeating events from Discord: choose the days for weekly repeats ("Mon Wed Fri", "weekdays"), and change or stop repeating with /event edit. Repeat is now right under the date and time on the site's event form.
• Reminder-only events: no sign-ups, reminders ping everyone the event is for (minus anyone who opted out), and the Discord post removes itself once it's over. Any event can also remind everyone instead of just people who signed up.
• Calendar channel: Valkyrie keeps one live calendar message in a Discord channel - the next 7 days by day, then what's coming later - with an event picker (details, sign up, "remind me") and a My reminders button. Set it up with /valkyrie calendar.
• Choose your own reminders: all events, events you sign up for, a specific repeating event or a category, at the times you pick (10 min, 1 hour, 1 day…), as a ping (the default), a DM, or both. Use /reminders, the calendar's 🔔 button, or My pings on the site.
• Events can run longer (up to 2 weeks - "3d" or "7 days" in Discord) and have a "Remove from Discord" setting: when it ends, 1 hour, 6 hours or 1 day after, or keep. Its post, thread, ping line and reminder pings are cleaned up automatically.
• Delete events (one date, or a date and every later one) - they disappear from the site and Discord. Cancel still keeps them visible as cancelled.
• Routine slots (like Conquest every day at 2 PM) now show once on the Discord calendar under "Daily & routine" instead of on every day, and only ping members who asked: pick slots in "Remind me before…" on the calendar, choose how long before, done.
• How it works: /calendar-help in Discord (only you see it, no pings) and a "How it works" tab on Events & Polls explain the calendar, sign-ups, routine reminders and pings.
• Discord on the website: official announcements and patch notes, QY Maple and our own guide/build channels now appear under Guides → 📣 Discord, and code posts from the official Discord appear on the Codes page with one-tap copy. Copied automatically, including edits and deletions.
• Happening now on the home page: this week's Grand Treasure Hunt and mini-game, the season, gift codes (tap to copy), the next guild events and the latest official news - all in one block, also posted as a live board in Discord.
• Official announcements and gift codes are copied into the guild's own Discord, and "Open in Discord" on the website now opens those copies.
• Each official Sword x Staff channel (announcements, game updates, dev log, gift codes) now has its own channel in the guild Discord, kept in step automatically.
• New members get a short welcome in #👋welcome with the next steps (verify on the site, how events work), removed after a week.
• The weekly changelog is posted in #🆕site-updates every Sunday at midnight (Eastern).
• Weekly Tournament registration countdown (Fri 8:00 - Sat 6:00 game time) on the home page and in #📌this-week, and registration is on the calendar every week.
• #🎨creative-corner: a gallery anyone can post art, screenshots and clips to; #📸clips stays as the Guild Members' picture channel, and #🏆tournament-lfg moves next to the calendar.
• Nexus Tournament (every 2 weeks, Sat 22:00 game time) is on the calendar, with a countdown on the home page and in #📌this-week - starts in, roster locks in, matches underway.
• Tournament entries on the Discord calendar link straight to #🏆tournament-lfg, and the calendar has a Tournament LFG button.
• Expired gift codes are struck through in #🎁sxs-gift-codes on Discord, marked "Expired", automatically when their valid period ends.
• #🎁sxs-gift-codes has a pinned, always-up-to-date list of the permanent gift codes (the ones that never expire), with what each gives.
• #🎁sxs-gift-codes works like the calendar: a summary at the top (latest code + permanent codes) that updates itself, with only the current official code post below - the old one is removed when a new code is posted.
• Copy buttons for gift codes in #🎁sxs-gift-codes: tap 📋 on the latest code or pick a permanent code to get it on its own, ready to copy.
• Copy buttons for gift codes in #🎁sxs-gift-codes: tap 📋 on the latest code or pick one of the codes with no known expiry to get it on its own, ready to copy.

• What each Grand Treasure Hunt relic does — This Week and the Roadmap now explain the rotating Level 5 relics: Lucky Statue doubles dungeon chest rewards by chance, Primal Gem boosts Gem gains, Philosopher's Stone and Golden Divine Tree boost Home stone and wood yields (each 10-40% as it ascends), from QY Maple's research
• Event calendar double-checked — QY Maple's Grand Treasure Hunt timeline matches ours for all 31 hunts so far, on top of the in-game confirmation

• Fantomon rarities filled in — Prismora is Rainbow; Cabbage Dog, Luminarch Steed and Yoldra are SSR. A tree's strength tier matches rarity on every Fantomon we could check, so it fills the gaps lootandwaifus leaves blank
• Falko's ability tree hasn't been published yet - his card says so and fills in automatically when it is
• Cabbage Dog and Zeus are now on the hub (confirmed in-game on our server), with everything lootandwaifus has on them.
• Grand Treasure Hunt names confirmed in game: this week's mini-game is Fonik's Puzzle, and the skill-shard Level 5 reward is the Class V Skill Shard Chest (180 shards of your choice).

• Grand Treasure Hunt skill rewards now use the game's wording: "class skill shards"
• Five skills now show their current damage — Eclipse Slash, Light Sword Array, Thunder of Judgment, Twin Gale and Wind Blade Spiral are 15-25% stronger than eog.gg lists; a guild member confirmed it in-game (Light Sword Array at Divine: 81.7%). Wherever eog.gg and lootandwaifus disagree on a skill, the site now shows the numbers that match the game, with eog.gg's older figure noted on the skill. This applies everywhere - the Skills page, build pages, the Build Maker and the Optimizer
• Videos now play on the site instead of sending you to a YouTube sign-in page. If YouTube still won't play one inside the site, a Watch on YouTube button opens it directly on YouTube.
• Older videos no longer show a wrong publish date. Only dates confirmed by YouTube are shown.
• Videos about other games no longer appear in the QY Maple list.
• Switching an existing one-off event to repeating now works (it was silently ignored).
• Repeating events only post their next date in Discord, instead of weeks of posts at once.
• No more accidental duplicates: creating the same event at a time it already runs is refused, and overlapping other events asks you to confirm first (site and Discord, including every date of a repeating event).
• Gift codes from the official Discord: short codes (like ISLA) are now picked up, and each code shows when it expires - expired codes drop off the home page and are greyed out on the Codes page.
• Guild Chat on the website opens on #guild-chat (the Guild Members' chat) instead of the general channel.

• Guild Chat re-checks on every request that your Discord account is still in the server and only shows channels your roles allow.
• The old shared guild invite code is gone. Admin password resets now give a one-time reset code (24 hours, single use) to pass to the member, instead of relying on a shared secret.
• Staff channels are hidden from everyone but admins, #guild-chat is for Guild Members only, and archived channels are read-only.

• Roadmap & Events — the Roadmap now includes the weekly event rotation. This Week at the top shows the current Grand Treasure Hunt with its Level 5 reward, the current mini-game, and a live countdown to the 9 AM Eastern reset, plus what's coming next. Filter the timeline by milestones or events and by season, and jump straight to today
• This Week card on the Overview page
• Seasons — every season with its regions, class tier, and dates on our server, plus a page per season that gathers everything from it
• Season filter and badges on Equipment, Dungeon Gear, Relics, Recipes, Skills, Class Builds, and Companions, showing all seasons by default. Pages that apply to every season are marked All seasons
• Every source in its own tab — new Prydwen Builds tab (separate from eog.gg's curated builds, with Prydwen's gear stat priority for the class you pick and a link to each full guide) and new Prydwen Guides tab. Class Builds and Guides now list the outside sources first — EOG, Prydwen, L&W — then the guild's own
• One consistent layout — the sidebar, each section's tabs, and the summary cards now list the same pages in the same order. The sidebar gained Food, Food Guide, L&W Guides, and all three Class Builds tabs, and the Overview gained Seasons, Forum, and Changelog
• Build Optimizer marked Beta — it's still in development, and finishing it with accurate data and a proper scoring algorithm is the next big project once all the data is in
• Source Watch (behind the scenes) — a daily check that nothing from eog.gg, Prydwen, lootandwaifus, QY Maple or the official news is missed: it flags scrapers that stop running, sudden data drops, pages or entries we don't have yet, and anything new at a source
• A smarter changelog — one summary per week since launch, each change labelled New, Content, Data, Fixed, or Security & privacy, with a filter for each
• Weekly updates — each week the hub posts what's new from its data sources automatically

• 11 Prydwen guides — Beginner Guide, Reroll Guide, Classes and Roles, Tips and Tricks, Grand Treasure Hunt, Daily Dungeons, Gacha System, Fantomon Guide, Stamina & Dawnium Usage, Food Guide, and Gear Refinement & Affix Transfer, with their images and videos, refreshed daily
• Grand Treasure Hunt and mini-game rotation for our server, using the in-game names: Lucky Bingo, Lucky Scratch, Lucky Statue, Golden Divine Tree, Infinity Hourglass, Primal Gem, and the Mythic Relic Selection Chest

• Four sources now refresh daily on their own — eog.gg guides, eog.gg build notes, eog.gg overview updates, and QY Maple's companion data had only been updated by hand
• Prydwen builds for Arcanist, Sage and Mage — 8 builds that never came through because those three pages lay out their builds slightly differently
• New Fantomons and companions from lootandwaifus — Cabbage Dog, Luminarch Steed, Prismora and Yoldra; the Phantasm Witch Carol, Wondrous Bloom Akane and Azure Fantasia Reina skins; and full class progressions (Blackiron to Saint) for Carol, Mysterious Merchant, Triumph Karlos and Leap Qin. Checked daily from now on — unreleased characters and other servers' content are left out

• Roadmap dates showed a day early for anyone in the US — every date now shows the same for everyone
• Season 3 dates corrected — eog.gg's estimates run a day late from Season 3 on, so Season 3 now shows its real start (Sep 18) and Cosmic Voyage its real opening (Oct 2). Dates confirmed in-game are marked ✓
• In-game names replace names eog.gg made up for events and rewards — for example Cosmic Voyage (not "Astral Odyssey") and Lucky Bingo (not "Bingo Draw")
• English-only text — Equipment values now read in plain English, and news titles and guides no longer contain Chinese or Japanese text
• Skins without an image no longer stop the data refresh
• The official news feed is read directly from the game's news service again
• Cleared false "data conflict" flags on recipes
• Site updates now deploy faster and more reliably — they had been running the server out of memory
• Skill numbers are now cross-checked against lootandwaifus — this check had never once completed (it timed out clicking through 407 skill cards); it now reads their published data directly and flags any skill where the two sites' numbers disagree

• Guild chat stays members-only — there's no public Discord invite anywhere on the site
• Flagged-account sign-in blocking restored — an account flagged by an admin can't sign in until its username is updated. The login page walks you through choosing a new name (re-entering your password to prove it's you), then signs you straight in; the flag stays for an admin to review

• Community forum — announcements, general chat, builds, Season 3, and a Guild Business section for Guild Members and above. Quote replies, edit your own posts, and report posts to the admins
• Changelog (this page), with the latest updates on the home page under What's New

• Prydwen builds restored for all 18 classes, including the new T5 classes: Ravager, Templar, Magister, and Prophet. Stat priorities now cover off-hands (Shield, Codex, Orb), and Prophet's DPS and Healer priorities are listed separately
• Items grew from 572 to 730, including Season 3 materials like Aethyrine Crest, each with where to obtain it

• In-game region names everywhere — Verdantglade, Cinder Ridge, Aqualis, Loong Haven, Aethyris, Harpadia, and Ignis replace the codenames some sources use
• 35 pairs of ingredients where one was overwriting the other

• Forum safety built in — anything typed into a post is shown as plain text, so pasted code or scripts can't run; links open safely in a new tab; posting is rate-limited to stop spam; each category can be limited by Class
• Moderation tools — member reports go to an admin queue, and admins can remove posts, lock threads, and temporarily mute posting
• Flagged accounts can read the forum but not post

• Recipes ↔ food links — see which recipe unlocks a dish, and which dish a recipe makes
• "Rank" is now called Class everywhere, and Guild Ally and Guild Member each have their own color

• Food database and Food Guide, filterable by rarity and by temporary vs. permanent effects
• L&W Guides — lootandwaifus's guides, grouped into Class Builds, New Player Guides, and Data & Reference Tables
• L&W Builds on the Class Builds page, alongside EOG and Guild Contributed builds

• Ravager, Magister, and Prophet added to build guide data

• Roadmap dates now match our server, which started 10 days after the global launch

• Remember me is now your choice — leave it unchecked and you're signed out when you close your browser
• Sign-up asks for your in-game name, so members can be matched to their in-game Class

• Valkyrie Guild Hub at valkyrie.tips — the guild is now Valkyrie, with a new address to match
• User CP (account settings) — change your username, password, two-factor settings, and navigation style in one place
• Edit your own guild builds after posting them

• Companion Guide and Companion Perks pages
• Items and ingredients added to the Database

• Recipes now show their images

• Two-factor authentication with any authenticator app (scan a QR code or enter the key). One-time backup codes are shown once and stored only as hashes
• Role-based access — we decide what's public and what's guild-only, page by page
• Class hierarchy for admin actions — admins can only manage accounts below their own Class, so no one can act on someone above them
• Login protection — 5 failed attempts locks that account for 5 minutes
• Secure sign-in cookies — they only travel over HTTPS and can't be read by scripts on the page
• Privacy-friendly traffic stats — the admin panel counts page views by Class using an anonymous browser ID; no IP addresses are recorded
• Admins can reset passwords and flag accounts that need attention

• Guild Contributed builds — members can submit their own builds with their reasoning for each pick
• Skill detail popup — tap any skill for its cooldown, tags, damage by rarity, and keywords
• Overview page — a map of the hub plus a Recent Updates timeline
• Page banners across the site, a live status bar with the daily reset countdown, and a new site icon
• Choose your navigation style — tabs or expandable lists
• Tabbed Tier List and Database pages

• Build notes — why each skill is in each curated build
• Companion details from QY Maple's community research: source region, stat-boost category, and Passion

• Build Maker — put together a loadout and share it as a link; the whole build lives in the link, nothing is stored
• Class and skill icons throughout the builds pages, plus fantomon portraits and skin thumbnails
• Polish across the Codes, Roadmap, calculator, and map tools

• Guides from eog.gg, with their images

• Personal passwords replace the shared code for signing in. Passwords are stored only as salted bcrypt hashes, never as readable text
• Password rules: at least 12 characters, and common or easily guessed passwords (including ones with simple swaps like @ for a) are rejected, with a live checklist as you type
• Guild chat requires Discord verification — you confirm your Discord account is already in our server before the chat appears. The check only reads your server list once; the hub keeps a "verified" flag and your Discord ID, never your Discord login or access token, and the sign-in round-trip is protected against forged requests

• Roadmap — what unlocks on which server day: regions, job changes, dungeons, and relic phases
• More map tools: Lucky Roulette, Prayer Statue, and Resource Map

• The Database (Aug 23) — in one day the hub gained full databases for relics (1,128), fantomons, companions, equipment stats, gems, recipes, monsters, dungeon gear, item values, and skins, plus redemption codes, all refreshed automatically every 6 hours

• Build Optimizer — enter your stats, track your skill and charm roster with rarity and stars, and score loadouts using the game's own damage formula
• Tools: Kingdom Map, Primordial Star calculator, and Stamina calculator, with the game's own map icons

• New home page banner art

• Skill & Charm Database, Tier List, and Guides & Lore with video guides
• Official news feed on the home page

• Skill data cross-checked against lootandwaifus and Prydwen from day one, refreshed automatically

• The hub is guild-only from the start — signing in requires the guild's invite code
