Seasonal Cycle & Hall of Fame

Every competitive ladder now runs on one shared season, closing on a configurable interval — 28 days by default — and opening fresh.

What Closes Together

A season settles all of the following at once:

• Path War
• The Cultivation leaderboard
• The Dao Mastery leaderboard — see Dao Mastery Leaderboard
• Sect standings

Nothing Real Is Ever Reset

Your realm, level, Qi, and Dao Mastery are exactly what they always were. Only each season's own tally of what was earned since it began — the delta — decides who is enshrined.

One Account, One Gain

v0.11.0 The Cultivation ladder, and the sect standings built from it, score an account, not whichever profile happens to be active. The season remembers the highest level any of your real cultivators held when it first saw you, and your gain is how far your best real cultivator has climbed past that. Switching profiles, or cycling fresh alts, can therefore never add to your season:

• Switching changes nothing, because the best cultivator on the account has not moved.
• A new alt counts only once it climbs past your best level at the start of the season.
• A deleted profile simply drops out, and an Ascension or Reincarnation can lower your reading but never your score below zero.
• A test profile is never counted.

Before this, the ladder read only the active profile, so sitting on a level-1 alt over the rollover and then switching to your main read the whole gap as that season's gain, and creating, climbing and deleting alts could stack gains on top of each other for the Season's Ascendant and Season's Champion Sect titles.

The Hall of Fame

A new Hall of Fame Codex article records every season's top performers permanently, alongside the Dao Duel Tournament's own champion history, read straight from its existing records.

Titles

Four new titles crown each season's champions:

A rarer badge than any single Path War window or tournament run — and none of these touch the titles those already give out.

The Foundation Flag

A new Hall of Fame Foundation Flag lets any player found a permanent, server-wide monument — once. Five fixed marker posts stand on it, one per ladder, each nameplated with whoever currently holds that crown, refreshed automatically as the standings change.

Tuning

Season length, each ladder's own top-N count for enshrinement, and how many historical entries the Hall of Fame keeps all live in the season config, wired into the in-game admin editor — a server owner can shorten the season length there to field-test a season closeout without waiting 28 real days.
