The Blade & Soul Hongmoon Store receives a significant seasonal refresh on August 15, introducing limited-time cosmetic items and gameplay enhancements. These exclusive offerings remain available for acquisition until September 5, providing a three-week window for players to enhance their character customization options. Strategic purchasing during this period ensures optimal value for your investment in premium content.
Seasonal updates typically introduce mechanics that influence character progression and visual presentation. Understanding the timing and availability constraints helps players prioritize their spending effectively across different item categories.
Favorite Fantasy Outfit Chest
120 NCoin/Hongmoon Coin
Drawing inspiration from mythical tales, the Favorite Fantasy Outfit Chest provides randomized costume acquisition with built-in protection against undesirable outcomes. Each chest opening grants one costume selection from the available pool, while unwanted items can be converted into Fantasy Emblems through the salvage interface. These emblems function as specialized currency within the Dragon Express system, enabling targeted acquisition of specific costumes or exclusive supplementary items.
Advanced strategy involves examining tooltip information before salvaging decisions, as costume rarity directly influences emblem yield quantities. Higher-tier costumes typically provide substantially more Fantasy Emblems, making them preferable for conversion when pursuing specific Dragon Express offerings.

The Favorite Fantasy Outfit Chest contains these potential rewards:
- Beat Cop Outfit Pouch
- Birthright
- Cream of the Crop
- Dark Distinction
- Daywatch
- Demoniac
- Entertainer’s Will
- Nomad
- Nobility
- Revolution
- Spectral Cycle
- Strictly Business
- Summer School
- Urban Legend
- Viceroy
Dragon Express purchases using Fantasy Emblems include:
Dragon Express

Swimsuits
Endless Summer Bundle: 1,999 NCoin/Hongmoon Coin
Shark Kitty: 499 NCoin/Hongmoon Coin
Sea Life Illusion Weapon Chest: 449 NCoin/Hongmoon Coin
Summer Glow Bundle: 1,399 NCoin/Hongmoon Coin
During intense summer conditions where aquatic activities provide essential relief, these exclusive swimwear options deliver both functional cooling and aesthetic enhancement. The collection introduces completely new designs alongside refreshed color variants of established favorites, available exclusively through direct Hongmoon Store purchases.
The familiar costume is not sold in the swimsuit bundle.
Common purchasing errors include assuming bundle contents contain all previously released swimwear variants. Players should verify individual item descriptions before committing to bundle purchases to avoid disappointment with content expectations.
Designer Threads
A groundbreaking feature launching concurrently enables extended utility for expired costume chest currencies beyond their intended lifespan. Players holding residual currencies from previous Silver Saberfang or Rosethorn outfit chests can convert them at 1:1 ratio into Designer Threads via the Antique Exchange interface. These threads subsequently function as universal currency with Clothing Merchants for acquiring legacy outfit chests and associated supplementary items.
Fantasy Emblems from the current system also support conversion into additional Designer Threads, providing flexibility for players needing supplementary currency for specific legacy acquisitions.
The development team confirms this standardized approach will apply to the Favorite Fantasy Outfit Chest and subsequent costume chest implementations.
Advanced players should prioritize converting older currencies before new content releases to maximize collection completion efficiency. This forward-thinking system prevents currency obsolescence and respects player investment in premium content systems.
Ruby and Emerald Gem Bundles
Price: 480 NCoin
Purchasable up to 9 times per account
Gem enhancements deliver substantial combat performance improvements through specialized stat allocations. The Hongmoon Store introduces two distinct bundle types: Ruby and Emerald configurations, each containing Hongmoon Hexagonal Gems alongside complementary utility items supporting character progression.


Important: Existing gem bundle offerings will be permanently replaced by these new configurations effective August 15.
Strategic purchasing involves acquiring maximum bundle allocations during the availability period, as these limited-quantity offers typically provide superior value compared to regular gem acquisition methods. Players should coordinate their purchases with upcoming content releases requiring enhanced character capabilities.
