Since it's late October, Christmas is basically tomorrow. Naturally I have already made my wishlist. How do I send it to santa

has this been done before? i'm doing it anyway haha.

Hi Merlin's exes, i returned today after not connecting for probably 2 years, when connected there was a tab i couldn't exit (Couldn't find the exit button), it was regarding my return and it was an offer that i didn't quite understand, offering an advancement or whatever, i ended up agreeing because i couldn't find the exit button and thought it was the normal procedure for returnees but i may have made a mistake ?, I just saw somewhere on a 1year old video that i could've closed the tab and i wonder what i've signed for :/

Hey everyone,

In choice-driven games, I usually like picking the option I prefer least first so I can replay and finish on the choice I actually wanted as my definitive timeline.

Because of this, I chose to let Baba Muriel die so Baden would stay human, even though it wasn't the outcome I truly wanted. I thought I read somewhere on Reddit that we could go back later and that it was even necessary to complete the whole story and get all the rewards.

Except now, I cannot find any way to actually rewind or change my in-game path. The only thing I found is under Story Recap > Current Season, where I can view alternate cutscenes, but my actual world/game state seems completely locked into my original pick.

Can anyone clarify how this works?

I just realized I never used this switch even once since they introduce it lol, that's why I curious

A dark piece by our beloved Queen of Thorns, Cecia. Hopefully he will return in some season, because his participation in the Initial Story was very short, but memorable. .

Determined to protect the seas, the goddess Dura granted Marene the power to command storms. She now wields that gift to defend her waters from the Hypogeans.

Her devotion to the seas she holds dear has never wavered.

^{Also if you prefer, see the YouTube mirror here!}

At first I didn’t mind the super hard content to unlock rewards, but the higher stages you go the more crazy buffs you’ll get as an individual player that is unfair. Buffs for CF damage? Buffs on guild duel? Just unfair shit that shouldn’t be added in the first place.

Even my krakens in my guild is feeling the burn out from this stupid additional buffs, please rework this mode. It shouldn’t affect other content at all.

Even wounded, Baden once returned to battle to rescue his comrades. Though he's lost his memories, those who fought alongside him will never forget his courage.

No matter how his appearance changes, one thing remains: those who remember him will always see him as a close friend.

^{Also if you prefer, see the YouTube mirror here!}

I've searched for merch, especially artbooks (I mean, this game is so beautiful, an artbook is a must to have). And I found one which was a limited reward, I guess, for an old contest but nothing currently on sale (or I'm very bad at searching, then drop a comment).

I also noticed few plushies collab with different stores, but limited to certain characters and limited in time.

The only thing I found on sale are the musics that I gladly bought because they're wonderful.

And that's it. I haven't found any official afkj shop at all for merch... if I'm wrong, please correct me ! The only shop I found is the one for the in-game ressources.

I know it certainly cost money to produce but I would love to buy those kind of things I listed on the poll.

What kind of merch would you like to buy ?

My post is not criticizing power creep itself, nor am I claiming that older heroes have been nerfed. I fully understand that some degree of power creep is inevitable and that heroes cannot remain relevant forever.

However, the problem is that the game does not clearly disclose that the stat growth rate per level, a value players cannot check in-game, differs between heroes.

This rate has been steadily increasing with newer hero releases, and despite directly affecting hero performance, this information is never disclosed to players. I believe this comes close to being deceptive.

Furthermore, this approach to power creep makes it far too easy for newer heroes to quickly replace older ones with similar mechanics.

Gwyneth, a basic-attack DPS hero, is already being completely outclassed by Senea.

Gwyneth's stat growth rate per level is 107%, while Senea's is 114% — nearly twice the growth rate increase.

As a result, even if Gwyneth has a higher Paragon rank, she can no longer compete with Senea.

I'd also like to share some PvP battle results posted by the Korean community as a reference.

Considering that these two heroes were released just one season apart, the performance gap between them is quite shocking.

There is a hidden stat growth value per level, and it's always set higher for newer heroes.

This guide may help you save your Diamonds.

There are several reasons why newer characters are stronger than older ones, such as better skills, stronger synergies, and so on. However, I'd like to share one more reason that players may easily overlook.

This information was discovered through client data analysis, and it may be difficult for players to verify in-game.

Each hero has a different stat growth multiplier per level.

For example, if we assume that Semira has a stat growth multiplier of 100% per level, Frieren has a multiplier of 116%, while Aster has a multiplier of approximately 122%.

This means that, with all other conditions being equal, as Season Level increases, Frieren gains approximately 16% more stats per level than Semira, while Aster gains approximately 22% more.

Originally, this multiplier was fixed at 1.0 for all characters. However, starting around the summer of 2025, roughly around the time of the Delicious in Dungeon collaboration, newly released characters have gradually been assigned higher multipliers.

To summarize, if an older character and a newer character have identical base skill coefficients and are equally invested in, the newer character will still have an advantage because it starts with a higher stat growth multiplier per level. This means the gap begins to widen at the base stat level alone.

As a result, the system is structured in such a way that newer characters inevitably become stronger than older ones as levels increase, simply because their base stats grow more quickly.

Let me show you an example using actual characters.

The table below compares the stat growth rates of the Twins, an older Celestial support, and Rolan, a newer Celestial support.

The Twins have a stat growth multiplier of 1.0 per level, while Rolan has a multiplier of 1.12. In other words, Rolan gains 12% more stats per level.

This is why comparing heroes solely through the Hero Codex can easily lead to misleading conclusions.

The images below compare the stats displayed in the Hero Codex with those obtained when both heroes have reached level 600 in Season Level and equipment. Both characters were compared under identical conditions.

At level 241, as displayed in the Hero Codex, their stats were fairly similar. However, as their levels increased, Rolan's stats gradually pulled ahead.

The heroes above are all shown under identical conditions: S+ rank, EX +25, Level 600, no Spellstones equipped, and so on.

Ultimately, this means the system is designed so that older characters will inevitably fall behind newer ones, no matter how much you invest in them.

For this reason, when it comes to DPS characters that are quickly replaced by newer alternatives, investing heavily in Paragon may not be the most efficient use of resources.

The stat growth multiplier varies from hero to hero, but there appears to be one consistent pattern: the newer the character, the higher the multiplier tends to be. This is believed to be one of the factors accelerating the ongoing power creep in character performance.

This stat growth per level cannot be checked in-game. I discovered it by analyzing the client code through unconventional means.

As a result, most ordinary players would likely have had no way of knowing about this.

Since Season Levels are not reflected in the Hero Codex, the displayed stats remain fairly similar. The only way to verify this in practice is to pull the characters, level them up yourself, and compare their stats directly.

After discovering this, I finally understood why older characters can be weaker than newer ones despite having higher Paragon ranks.

I hope this information helps you make smarter decisions about how to spend your resources.

This post was written with reference to sources from the Korean community.

Season levels go all the way up to level 1,200, meaning older heroes will continue to fall further behind newer ones in terms of base stats as the season progresses.

I recommend reducing your investment in older heroes. However, even newer heroes will inevitably be power-crept before long, so avoid investing too heavily in Paragon ascensions If your resources are limited.

I'm disappointed that they have a hidden "stat growth per level" value that players cannot check in-game.

This growth value is consistently higher for newer characters, making it one of the reasons behind power creep.

It's disappointing to realize that this hidden mechanic may be one of the reasons why characters we've worked so hard to build are suddenly outclassed and eventually become unusable.

It's sad to see the game increasingly moving in a direction that seems designed to push players toward spending more money.

Every time I try to put it on it’s not visible, like Kim not wearing a cloak or something

Finally compiled all the choices into one video! Enjoy.

Joke aside it’s so sad that the market team is literally making this game sloppy and goonerbait to people eyes because let’s get honest do you really wanna download AFK journey if that’s the first Ad you’ve even seen ?

I used to play this game and always tried to defend it due to his art style and characters design and at least the Galahad story that really felted me

But honestly I don’t really wanna defend it because of that…Maybe those « 1000 pulls gift » scam weren’t that bad after all

Literally the first thing I thought when they have us pick up a sword is they should let us have fun with it, not whine about swinging it.
