Trade Tax has been introduced to the Trade House in the new season. Hunters will be charged Trade Tax for currency items generated through sales: For every 8 currency items of the same type gained through sales, 1 currency item will be deducted by the system as tax. (The first 200 Flame Elementium are exempt from tax.) We have also introduced Tax Exemption Vouchers to the new season. You can obtain 100 Flame Elementium from the event and use Tax Exemption Vouchers to refund the Flame Elementium you paid. (In other words, revenue worth 800 Flame Elementium will be exempt from tax.)
We will start a new season with a tax on every transaction in the Trading House. However, unlike what we have been sharing with you through the developer's blogs, we have adjusted the tax rules based on the community's views and opinions, as well as actual observations and feedback from the closed beta test.
We have removed the rule that "when the total number of one type of currency gained through sales passes 10,000, 1 out of every 4 currency items gained will be deducted as tax."
We have changed the tax exemption amount from 100 to 200 and through the event, you can get 100 tax-free coupons which can be used for the redeeming Flame Elementium taxes you have already paid.
Most importantly, we have changed the tax rate rule from "deducting 1 currency item for every 7 currency items sales as tax" to "deducting 1 currency item for one currency item for every 8 currency items sales as tax".
We hope that this adjustment will ensure a more secure treasure-hunting and trading experience for regular players while also limiting the monopoly trade of merchants.
We will keep on listening to feedback after the new season goes live as well as collecting in-game data. We may still make adjustments in the next season if needed.

In addition to the optimization of the Trade House experience, we will also introduce an important adjustment to the new season—The transaction tax.
The Trade House is a feature that we spent a lot of effort on, so Hunters can trade their items and sell rare loots for a fairer price. But now we have it, the economic system will also have a more profound impact on Hunters’ farming experience. Therefore, we will monitor its operation more frequently and adjust the Trade House features more carefully based on its operation during the previous season.
Season 1 is the first time that we included such a huge number of Hunters and kept the economic system running for so long. And because of this, the price of Flame Elementium has gone up significantly and affected Hunters’ farming experience in the mid to late season. We expect to slow down the rise in price by introducing a proper tax to make sure that more Hunters can have a better farming experience for a longer time.
Meanwhile, we think it’s difficult for Hunters who haven’t got the hang of farming to obtain Flame Elementium at the beginning, so we will exempt a certain number of Flame Elementium that Hunters obtained at the beginning from tax.
Based on these ideas, we have formulated preliminary tax rules for the Trade House. In the new season, the Trade House will adopt a phased tax system and collect tax for all revenue generated through sales. The details are as follows.
Rule 1: For every 8 currency items of the same type gained through sales, 1 currency item will be deducted by the system as tax. (The first 100 Flame Elementium are exempt from tax.)
Rule 2: When the total number of one type of currency gained through sales passes 10,000, 1 out of every 4 currency items gained will be deducted as tax.
Rule 3: When the season ends, the revenue data will be cleared and the tax will be calculated from zero again in the next season.
These rules are still under internal evaluation and testing. And we are also very cautious about the Trade House adjustment, so feel free to contact us via the community if you have anything to say about them.
