Sub-Academy System
September 16, 2026 at 04:40 AM
Created the Sub-Academy page covering the four houses, the semester structure, study tasks and the transfer rules
The Sub-Academy system (分学院) is a player identity layer added with Season 4: Moon Surge Rhapsody on September 10, 2026. It sorts players into one of four houses at the magic academy and attaches a long-running set of study tasks to that choice. It is the first system in the game to run on a semester clock rather than a season clock.
Two things gate entry. The player must finish the Academy Points Tournament (绩点大赛), and must collect all four house uniforms. Only then can a house be chosen. The Season 4 update deliberately made the first of those much faster, because the tournament was the bottleneck. See the task changes below.
House | Chinese | Focus |
|---|---|---|
Spirit Studies | 精灵学分学院 | Spirit raising and collection |
Combat Studies | 战斗学分学院 | Battle and competitive play |
Alchemy Studies | 炼金学分学院 | Crafting and the Alchemy Station |
Ceremony Studies | 仪典学分学院 | Rituals and ceremonial content |
A semester runs for two seasons rather than one, so it spans a season boundary. The first semester is called the Departure Semester (启程学期) and ends at 03:59 on December 31, 2026, which places its close two seasons after the system opened.
Each house issues study tasks (研习) in three cadences. They award credits (学分), medal upgrades, and the largest single Spectral Crystal payouts in the game after the Season 4 economy rework.
Cadence | Chinese | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Weekly study | 每周研习 | Refreshes weekly. Grants 500 Spectral Crystal |
Season study | 赛季研习 | Once per season. Grants 1,000 Spectral Crystal |
Endless study | 无限研习 | Repeatable with no cap |
The Season 4 rework moved Spectral Crystal output out of several older sources and into these credit tasks, which makes the house system the main crystal route rather than an optional extra. See Resources and Currency.
A player can change house by finding the target house's tutor and applying. The rules are strict enough to make the first choice matter.
Credits earned in a previous house do not count toward the final semester settlement. Settlement uses only the credits held in the current house.
House-exclusive actions that are already unlocked stay usable after a transfer.
A second transfer cannot be applied for within two weeks of the previous one.
Weekly study and season study progress carries across a transfer.
Endless study progress does not carry across and is lost.
Because the tournament gates the house system, the Season 4 update cut its requirements sharply and raised its rewards. Only weekly tasks that refreshed after the September 10 update use the new values, so a task board generated before the update still ran on the old numbers.
Task | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
Main course task points | 75 | 225 |
Elective task points | Base value | Three to four times the old value |
Catch spirits | 30 | 20 |
Hatch eggs | 6 | 1 |
Earn Roco Shells | 1,000,000 | 200,000 |
Condense Wish Stars | 20 | 5 |
Gift spirits to a companion | 5 | 1 |
Win Shining Contest matches | 2 | 1 |
Defeat Rare Beast Flower Seeds | 12 | 2 to 3 |
Defeat Spirit Leaders | 6 | 2 to 3 |
