Version 1.1 Timeless Bonds Full Patch Notes

(4) Fixed an issue where hair roots could not be dyed. (5) Fixed a text display issue with the Legendary Hero Title. (6) Fixed an issue where background music was missing in main chapter CG. (7) Fixed an issue where players could not tip or claim rewards at Springwave Pavilion. (8) Fixed an issue that prevented you from making the acquaintance of Old Friends and corrected the counting error. (9) Fixed an issue in controller mode that a specific Inner Way cannot be locked. (10) Fixed an issue where the "Jianghu Drifter" achievement in Qinghe could not be completed. (11) Added Mystic Skill Tile Mode: Both keyboard/mouse and controller now support Mystic Skill tile mode, allowing you to view the usage status of all eight Mystic Skills.

(16) Optimized the time display for Guild events to show times in the local time zone.
