Before that, the game went into maintenance for roughly five hours starting July 18 at 15:00 PST / 18:00 EST / 23:00 BST, or July 19 at 6:00 UTC+8. If you have reached Trailblaze level 4 or higher by the time a maintenance period starts, you will receive a minimum of 300 stellar jade in your in-game mailbox as compensation after maintenance concludes.
