In an instant, a thousand years of grand endeavors; upon a modest stage, ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains. The tiny square of the stage yet holds countless tales of sorrow and joy, of rise and fall, played out without end. Zaju opera, puppet shows, shadow puppetry... the enchanting allure of drama after drama—the wanderer has long since come to know it. The affairs of the mortal world are themselves dramas upon the stage. Along this journey through lofty mountains and distant waters, all that the wanderer has witnessed and personally lived through—should it one day be brought onto the stage—would surely make for a moving and gripping performance. Now comes a rare and special opportunity, allowing the wanderer to first play the role of one who takes to the stage. Today, we bring the wanderer two brand-new outfit sets, once again reenacting that drama which once swept through Kaifeng in a storm of popularity—

Brand-New Outfit Category: Semblance

[Semblance · Steadfast Through the Ages]

[Semblance · Legacy of the Capital's Splendor]

*Effects shown are still in R&D; the final in-game version shall prevail.

[Imitation Form · Legacy of the Capital in Bloom] is the attire of the female role in the opera. The outfit is base in bluish-green throughout, with landscapes embroidered upon the skirt hem. Both shoulders are adorned with embroidered medallion flowers, while several crimson-red wide ribbons hang from the hair tips and waist respectively, with a bright touch of orange cinched at the waist, lending a crisp and capable air. The makeup is applied with heavy base color, painted with vivid red eye sockets, decorated with forehead patches (piànzi) at the front, and adorned with exquisite headpieces. Through all trials and hardships, the heart remains unchanged; clad in chivalrous bones, one stirs the capital. Donning this opera costume, one may step onto the stage and into the role, personally performing a legend of chivalry and righteousness.

【Guise: Steadying the Ages】is taken from the male lead's costume in traditional opera, with a flowing beard draping over the chest and an air of stern composure. The robe is based in a deep, steady blue-green, with a dark red cloak flowing behind the shoulders that whips fiercely with every stride. When a wanderer dons this attire, they can transform into that heroic figure on the opera stage—one of boundless loyalty and valiant bearing. Beacon fires blaze across ten thousand li as an empire rises; thunder and wind across the Nine Provinces forge a hero!

The Mimicry-type outfit set takes its meaning from "donning a form, transforming into a myriad of shapes," and is a brand-new special type of outfit set now introduced. Once worn, the face, makeup, and body shape will all change accordingly, regardless of gender, and not confined to any single object or form — everything will be presented according to the mimicked character. Rangers may freely choose whichever mimicry outfit set they fancy to wear, transforming at will.

The imitation-form sets [Imitation Form · Pacifying the Ages] and [Imitation Form · Splendor of the Capital] will go on sale on September 17, supporting dyeing. At that time, Wanderers can go to the shop to purchase them separately for 60 Echo Beads each.

Behold the turning of a thousand mechanisms, the scattering of ten thousand phenomena like stars. Heaven and earth align in covenant, sun and moon shine together in glory. Brilliant are the courtyard torches, as halberds and axes dance and rise. The purple subtle stars array themselves to fathom the mysterious, and the ten thousand methods return to truth, becoming whole. The radiance of the vast starry river appears both across the night sky and flows with brilliance upon the blade's edge. The brand-new Sound Jade weapon series "Star Array" takes its meaning from the scattered posture of the myriad stars, distilling the splendor of starlight flickering and interweaving. This week, the Weapon Appearance · Sword [Star Array · Stars Flowing Westward] and Weapon Appearance · Spear [Star Array · Stars Crossing, Moon Setting] will make their debut first—
