Latest update watch: v1.00.22 coin compensation

Open

As checked on July 2, 2026, the latest official update is v1.00.22. It adds server disruption compensation with 10 commemorative coins per day for 7 days, Reward and General Mailbox tabs, Trade Ship slot DLC, and Offering level changes.

Open

After opening v1.00.12 or later, do not launch an older build from another PC or location. Update the client or verify files first because the official notice warned about unrecoverable item loss.

MailboxReward vs General

Mailbox tabs, chests, and missing rewards

Open

If rewards or Market items seem delayed, check the right Mailbox tab first. v1.00.22 puts developer rewards such as coins in Reward, while Market purchases and lost items belong under General.

Invalid item cleanup and Market reopening

Open

Abnormally generated or invalid items may still be checked server-side. During the v1.00.21 Market reopening window, top-three-grade listings are restricted until official follow-up confirms broader listing access.

Market listing not showing / not yet marketable

Open

Use this when an owned item, Beyond bow, Arcana bow, or high-rarity gear does not appear in Trade Ship, shows not yet marketable, or seems blocked despite being visible in Steam inventory. The checklist separates ownership, Mailbox delivery, listing slots, cooldowns, grade limits, activation delay, and item validation.

Steam Market purchase not showing

Open

Use this when Steam shows a purchase but the item is not visible in game. It covers Steam Market history, Steam inventory, Mailbox Refresh, client version, sync delay, and why repeating the purchase is usually the wrong first step.

PetsEarly unlock

Where are bats for the pet unlock?

Open

Bats are reported around 1-7 to 1-9. If your party is strong enough, check 1-9; if the run is unstable, use 1-8 first because it is safer and still keeps early gear progress moving.

Do not farm the highest stage if your party dies or clears slowly.

Use the pets guide after the bat unlock question because pet value is cumulative rather than a single equipped slot.

ItemsAlchemy

How do I sell gear or junk items?

Open

Use the Hero-dric Cube. Set the Cube action to Alchemy, then convert unwanted gear into gold. Treat this as the practical sell function for early item cleanup.

CubeAlchemyGold

Lock or separate gear you may keep before bulk actions.

Early players usually get more value from turning obvious junk into gold than from rushing every synthesis choice.

BossSoul Stone

Should I sell Soul Stones?

Open

Keep a reserve first. Soul Stones are connected to Act boss attempts, and boss clears can matter for accessory progression and higher-value drops. Only consider selling extras after your boss plan is covered.

Act bossAccessoriesReserve first

If you are still learning boss strength, do not convert your whole stock into market value.

Failed or unfinished boss handling can change how players perceive Soul Stone cost, so confirm the current in-game behavior before expensive decisions.

LevelingStage choice

Why did my experience or gold feel worse?

Open

Rewards can feel worse when you overfarm a stage that no longer matches your party level, or when you push into a stage that clears too slowly. The right farming stage is the fastest safe stage that still gives useful progress.

Safe farmClear speedUseful rewards

If a lower stage dies instantly but gives poor progress, move forward.

If a higher stage takes too long or wipes the party, step back and upgrade before pushing again.

AFKProgression

Do offline rewards replace active farming?

Open

No. Offline rewards are a supplement. For chest flow, item drops, Cube fuel, and market-facing loot, treat active-idle play while the game is running as the main progression loop.

Offline bonusChestsActive-idle

Minimized taskbar play is still useful because the game can keep farming while you work.

If your goal is gear, do not plan around offline rewards alone.

StagesWall check

What should I do at stage walls like 2-8 or 2-10?

Open

Treat stage walls as a build check. If fire damage, backline deaths, or boss pressure stops the run, step back to a stable farming stage, upgrade the frontline and support, then push again.

2-82-10Backline safety

Do not keep forcing the same wall if the party dies before meaningful damage lands.

Use a tank, support, and damage structure before chasing pure DPS.

MarketMail

Where are Steam Market purchases delivered?

Open

After buying or receiving a market item, check Steam inventory and then the in-game mail flow. Delivery can take sync time, so wait before assuming the item disappeared.

Steam inventoryIn-game mailSync delay

Avoid repeating expensive market actions while server or mail sync feels delayed.

If the item has sockets or upgrades, review whether those states affect listing and handling.

CubeItem safety

Can I remove decorations, engravings, or inscriptions?

Open

Use the Cube-related removal tools when available, and do not assume every upgrade state is freely reversible. Review the item before applying sockets or market-facing upgrades.

DecorationEngravingInscription

The safe rule is simple: check the item state before applying or removing rare upgrade layers.

If you plan to sell the item, verify market eligibility before spending more materials on it.

FAQ

Quick answers

Can I reconnect with an older version after opening v1.00.12 or later?

No. The official v1.00.12 notice warned that connecting to v1.00.12, then reconnecting with an earlier version, may cause item loss that cannot be recovered. Update every PC or verify file integrity before launching.

What should I do if items or chests look missing after the server migration?

First check the current client version, Steam inventory, and in-game Mailbox. v1.00.12 moved owned chests to Mailbox, changed Mailbox refresh timing, and v1.00.13 fixed invalid chest and Act Boss chest timing issues, so display timing can lag behind the actual reward flow.

Can invalid or abnormal items be deleted?

Yes. The v1.00.12 notice said items may be checked against Steam item registration data, and abnormally generated or invalid items may be deleted. Do not treat suspicious duplicated items as stable Market or build value.

Is the Haze Seas Steam Market active again?

Yes, according to the official v1.00.21 notice, the Steam Market is available again. Treat that as the Market-rule background while v1.00.22 is the latest update for coin compensation and Mailbox tabs. Each account has 4 base listing slots, each new listing starts an 8-hour cooldown, and Cosmic, Divine, and Celestial listings are still temporarily restricted while Soulstones can still be listed.

What are Haze Seas coins in v1.00.22?

They are commemorative coins from the official server disruption compensation, not redeem codes. v1.00.22 sends 10 coins per day for 7 days through the Mailbox Reward tab after players update to the latest client.

Where do v1.00.22 coin rewards appear?

Open Mailbox and use the Reward tab. The General tab is for Steam Market purchases, lost items, and similar mail, so do not use the General tab as proof that the coin reward is missing.

When do the compensation coins expire?

The official v1.00.22 notice says unclaimed compensation can be claimed until August 1, 2026 at 00:30 KST. Rewards not claimed by then disappear and cannot be restored.

Are Haze Seas coin rewards codes?

No. Do not enter them as a code or search for a code field. The v1.00.22 coins are Mailbox rewards tied to the compensation update.

Where are bats for the pet unlock?

Bats appear around stages 1-7 to 1-9. If you can clear safely, 1-9 is the better check; if not, farm 1-8 first because it is safer and still gives useful early gear.

How do I sell items in Haze Seas?

There is no normal shop button for junk gear. Use the Hero-dric Cube and switch the top action to Alchemy to break unwanted items into gold.

Should I sell Soul Stones?

Do not sell all of them blindly. Soul Stones are tied to Act boss attempts and can matter for accessories and higher-value drops, so keep a reserve before considering market value.

Why does experience drop when I farm older stages?

Older stages can become inefficient once your party outlevels them. Farm where kills stay fast but rewards still move your next rune, gear, Cube, or boss goal forward.

Do I get chests while offline?

Offline rewards help with a little gold or experience, but chests and item farming are best treated as active-idle progress while the game is running.

Where do Steam Market purchases appear?

Market purchases usually need to pass through Steam inventory and the in-game mail flow. Check mail and allow sync time before assuming the item is missing.

Why is my owned item not showing as a Market listing choice?

Ownership and listing eligibility are separate. In v1.00.21, check the current client, Steam inventory, Mailbox, 4 listing slots, 8-hour cooldowns, item grade, Soulstone exception, Market activation delay, and whether the item state is unusual before treating it as lost. This also applies when a Beyond bow or other high-rarity item is visible but not listable.

What should I do if a Steam Market purchase is not showing in game?

Do not buy the same item again immediately. Confirm the Steam Market transaction, check Steam inventory, update the client, open Mailbox, use Refresh once, then wait and record the item name, purchase time, Steam inventory state, Mailbox result, and client behavior.
