Luminous Vale is a once-a-week, all-day Saturday event with three jobs to do: farm the respawning monsters, kill the Rainbow Chest Monster for a guaranteed purple card, and hit the four boss windows if you want Royal and Orange gear. It does not touch your daily combat budget, and the MVP Mount and MVP Card are on its reward list. If you want to avoid PvP, Peace Mode does that. If you want to hunt red players, Justice Mode is built for it.
When it runs
| Day | Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:00 to 23:59 server time | About 16 hours, every week |
Luminous Vale modes
Luminous Vale has three modes you can switch between.
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Peace Mode | You do not attack other players. |
| Justice Mode | You can attack red-named players only. |
| Battle Mode | You can attack any player. |
Peace Mode is the safe farm: you ignore PvP and focus monsters. Justice Mode is for hunting players who have gone red. Battle Mode is the full free-for-all.

Free PvP and the killing penalty
The map is free-PvP, but killing another player has penalty. Kill a player and you get flagged red. Once you are red, Justice Mode players can hunt you.
If you only want the loot, stay in Peace Mode.
What to do inside
The four boss windows
Four bosses spawn through the day at fixed times: 09:00, 12:00, 15:00, and 18:00. Team up and head to channel 1 (line 1). The party that lands the last hit gets the reward. Around each boss, secret-realm chests refresh, and anyone can pick those up.
The Rainbow Chest Monster
This is the event’s best target. It spawns at random spots around 7 times between roughly 09:00 and 22:00. Killing it drops a Rainbow Chest, and that chest guarantees one random purple card.
Rainbow Chest Monster is level 55 with 8,000,000 HP. It is Formless, Neutral element, Medium size. Its loots are the Rare Item Card Book, a purple-quality card book.
Because the spawns are random, you search the whole map for it. Do not sit on one spot.
The respawning monsters
The ordinary monsters inside Luminous Vale keep respawning, which is the steady farm. The guides call these “Vale Monsters.” They are the filler between boss windows and chest spawns.

The MVP Mount is the same one that drops from MVP kills, Endless Tower, and Time Corridor. Luminous Vale is one of the four places you can get it.
There are instances that the following items are dropped: rare appearance and costume items, high-tier materials, and a boosted accessory drop rate.
It does not cost your daily combat budget
Luminous Vale farming does not consume your daily blessing points. That budget is the 3,000 Healthy Combat points plus 600 Monster Extermination points that cap normal field farming. Luminous Vale runs outside that cap, so it is extra farming on top of your normal daily grind.
Tips
- Run Peace Mode for the farm and switch to Justice or Battle only when you want to PvP.
- Be on channel 1 for the boss windows at 09:00, 12:00, 15:00, and 18:00.
- Search the full map for the Rainbow Chest Monster. Its spawns are random, up to about 7 times a day.
- Team up for the boss windows. The boss rewards go to the last-hit party, so having more people on the target helps.
