Nexon Games has released Dev Note Vol.19, outlining the immediate future for The First Descendant. While Patch 1.3.11 dropped on November 19, 2025, the real headline here is a specific preparation gift aimed at the upcoming economy changes in December. If you are looking to optimize your Descendant's build before the new trading system goes live, you need to log in immediately.
Claim Your Superconductive Cooling Units
To bridge the gap between the recent "Assemble" update and the major December patch, the developers are handing out a substantial supply drop. Players can currently claim 140 Superconductive Cooling Units simply by logging in. These aren't just random materials; they are a strategic boost to help you stockpile resources before the game's economy shifts next month.
This gift is time-sensitive. You must claim it from your mailbox before December 2, 2025. Once claimed, the mail itself expires on December 9, so don't let it sit in your inbox. In the world of Ingris, where resource management often dictates how fast you can push your power level, passing up free high-tier materials is a mistake you can't afford.
Why is this gift important for the December Update?
The developer note explicitly links this gift to the upcoming Ancestor Module trading system arriving in December. While we are still waiting for the granular details on exchange rates and limitations, the implication is clear: you are going to need materials to participate in this new economy. Giving players a stack of Cooling Units now suggests that crafting or module adjustment will play a heavy role in how we acquire or trade these Ancestor Modules.
Patch 1.3.11 and the Road Ahead
This gift accompanies Patch 1.3.11, which serves as a stabilization update following the "Assemble" episode released earlier this month. For those following the meta, the focus right now is on preparation. The introduction of trading is a massive shift for a looter shooter, potentially changing how we farm and value specific drops.
If you haven't watched the developer breakdown video yet, it's worth a look to see exactly how Nexon plans to handle the trading ecosystem. For now, ensure your Descendant is ready for the December shift by securing these assets.
