Patch 2.8.3 – New season structure

Infinity Kingdom v2.8.3 Update Guide

Patch 2.8.3 brings a wealth of improvements and exciting new features to Infinity Kingdom. From a comprehensive season merger to the introduction of a brand-new Expedition Battle Pass, this update is set to significantly enhance the Legion of Frostborne gameplay and progression experience. Here’s everything you need to know.

πŸŒ€ What’s New in v2.8.3

πŸ” 1. Season Merger and Progression Overhaul

To streamline the player experience and reduce downtime between seasons, Infinity Kingdom is implementing a new season structure and merging existing seasons.

πŸ“Š New Season Format:

  • Preparation Season (Level Cap: 40)
  • Season 1 (Level Cap: 50)
  • Season 2 (Level Cap: 50)
  • Conquest Season (Level Cap: 55)

πŸ”„ Server Progression Flow:

  • Original Preparation and Season 1 servers β†’ will enter new Season 1.
  • Original Season 2 servers β†’ will merge and jump directly to Conquest Season.
  • Servers just entering Season 2 β†’ will go directly to Conquest after finishing current season.
  • Season 3 servers β†’ will complete current Expedition and then enter Conquest.

πŸ›  Balance and Display Adjustments:

  • Season naming and color-coded server icons improved for clarity.
  • Seasonal resource compensation and buffs (e.g., building/research speed) added for new servers.
  • Matchmaking improvements for new Conquest Season entrants.
  • Legion rewards and mission difficulties have been rebalanced across level caps.

πŸš€ 2. Server Transfer Updates

With the restructured season format, server transfer rules have also been adjusted:

πŸ“Œ Key Transfer Rules:

  • Only allowed within the same season.
  • Target server must be in the Preparation Zone.
  • Item cost increases with each transfer during a season.

πŸ” Server Transfer Portal Cost Changes – What You Need to Know

One of the most impactful changes in Patch 2.8.3 is the new scaling cost system for server transfer portal items. Previously, transferring between servers required a fixed number of portals. However, starting with this update, the cost of transferring servers will now increase based on how many times you’ve transferred within the current season.

πŸ“ˆ How the New System Works:

  • First transfer of the season: costs the standard number of portals.
  • Subsequent transfers: each additional jump during the same season will require more portal items than the last.
  • The increase is progressive, meaning the cost ramps up quickly if you attempt multiple transfers.

πŸ”’ Why This Matters:

This update is designed to discourage excessive server hopping, especially from veteran players trying to stay permanently in lower-tier seasons (e.g., Season 1) with fully maxed-out marches and artifacts.

Previously, players could manipulate matchmaking and progression systems by constantly resetting their server environment, creating unfair advantages over newer or less developed players. With the new system:

  • Jumping back and forth between S1 and early servers becomes resource-prohibitive.
  • Strategic, long-term server investment is now more important than ever.
  • Server environments will feel more balanced, especially in preparation and early seasons.

πŸ”” Key Takeaways:

  • Plan your server transfers carefully β€” multiple moves in a season will be costly.
  • Stay informed about your current season status (icon color and rules) to avoid surprises.
  • This change brings more stability and fairness to the Legion of Frostborne experience for everyone.

If you’re managing multiple accounts or alt strategies, consider committing to your main server for the season to avoid burning precious portals.

πŸ”΄ Special Handling:

  • Servers in S1/S2 at the time of the update will be marked red.
  • Red β†’ Yellow transfers allowed; Yellow β†’ Red are blocked.
  • Free transfers allowed between servers of the same icon color.

🎯 3. Expedition Battle Pass – New KVK Progression Feature

A major addition to the Conquest Season is the new Expedition Battle Pass, designed to reward activity in the Legion of Frostborne battlefield. See more read.

πŸ… Battle Pass Details:

  • Access via: Legion Achievements tab.
  • Earn EXP: Complete personal Legion tasks to level up.
  • Duration: Lasts for the full war period; ends if war ends early.
  • Important: Progress (including paid unlocks) resets if you transfer servers during an active war.

🎁 Reward Tiers:

  • Free Tier: Basic resources and random immortal fragments.
  • Paid Tier:
    • Holy/Shadow Immortal Fragments
    • FULL 60-stone unlock of a powerful Tower of Knowledge skill

This makes the paid pass incredibly valuable for players looking to build top-tier marches and maximize their KVK rewards.

βš’οΈ Feature Tweaks & Optimizations

  • Dragon Talent unlocks moved to Season 2.
  • Inner City UI: Resource panels grouped by resource type for improved clarity.

πŸ“Œ Final Thoughts

Patch 2.8.3 marks a pivotal step toward a more balanced and engaging KVK experience in Infinity Kingdom. The revamped season system reduces grind and downtime, while the Expedition Battle Pass encourages consistent engagement and offers premium rewards for effort.

Whether you’re strategizing your next Conquest or preparing your march in Season 1, now is a great time to dive into Norheim and make your mark.
