===Update Details===
====Event Compendium====
* An [[Event Compendium]] feature will be added that will allow players to play certain events held in the past anytime. This will give players who started the game recently the opportunity to get facilities and other rewards from past events. The [[Event Compendium]] will unlock at March 27, 2020 6:00 UTC.
* Note: There may be some changes, such as the features or rewards.
=====Addendum March 27, 2020 7:30 UTC=====
* With the addition of the Event Compendium, the {{Icon|Facility|Wind Shrine|size=24px}} [[Wind Shrine]] from the [[A Wish to the Winds]] facility event can now be leveled up to a maximum of level 35.

====Chain Co-abilities Are Here====
* With the new update, all adventurers will gain [[Chain Co-abilities]]. Unlike existing [[Co-abilities|co-abilities]], the effects of chain co-abilities will stack when there are multiple abilities with the same effect.
* Example: If an adventurer with the (Flame) Defense +10% chain co-ability and an adventurer with the (Flame) Defense +5% chain co-ability are on the same team, the combined effect will be Defense +15% for all flame-attuned adventurers on the team.

====Changes to how the Effects of Co-abilities are Applied in Co-op====
* Up to this point, [[Co-abilities|co-abilities]] affected all adventurers participating in a quest, regardless of whose team the adventurers belonged to.
* Going forward, the co-abilities from the player's team will apply only to the adventurers who belong to them. If only one of the adventurers participating in the quest is from the player's team, then the effects of co-abilities from other adventurers in the team will apply to that adventurer.

====New Fafnir Medal Item====
* After March 27, 2020 6:00 UTC, you will have a random chance of obtaining new items called {{Fafnir Medal}} [[Fafnir Medal|Fafnir Medals]] when you clear a quest. You can trade medals that you've collected for various items in the [[Treasure Trade]].
* Note: This does not apply to certain quests, such as [[The Mercurial Gauntlet]] and [[Astral Raids]].

====Resetting the Social Reward for Co-op====
* The number of times players can obtain the social reward, which can be obtained by playing co-op with another player for the first time, will be reset at March 27, 2020 6:00 UTC. After clearing a quest, players can get {{Wyrmite}} 50 per player (up to 50 times).

====Summon History====
* Players will be able to check a record of summons they had performed in the past via Help/Support on the Menu. Up to 30 summons from the past two weeks (14 days) will display in summon history. If two weeks (14 days) have passed since they last summoned, or if there are more than 30 summons recorded, older entries will be removed from the history.

===Other Changes===
* [[Endeavors|Normal endeavors]] where players can get rewards for using {{Skip Ticket}} [[Skip Ticket|Skip Tickets]] to clear [[Avenue to Power]], [[Avenue to Fortune]], and [[Elemental Ruins]] quests will be added at March 27, 2020 6:00 UTC.
* The content of standard daily endeavors will be changed at March 27, 2020 6:00 UTC.
* The [[Smithy|smithy]] level requirement for crafting 3★ core weapons will be removed at March 26, 2020 3:30 UTC. Note: This applies to tier one, tier two, and tier three weapons of all weapon types.
* An explanation called Skills that Target Multiple Enemies will be added to the Battles section under Help.
