How Never-Delay Feather drops work
Never-Delay Feather is a special progression item introduced with the January 9, 2026 update. You do not pick it up manually or exchange it from an NPC. Instead, it is awarded automatically after qualifying boss clears, provided all conditions are met.
Key rules to remember:
- You must be playing with at least one teammate
- The boss must be defeated in Hero’s Realm or Sword Trial
- Guild Hero’s Realm and Joint Battle do not count
- At least one teammate must claim the Energy reward after the fight
If any of these conditions are missed, the Feather will not be granted.

How to get the Promise Keeper title in WWM
- Queue into Hero’s Realm or Sword Trial through Wandering Paths. Make sure you are not entering Guild or Joint variants.
- Complete the boss fight successfully in co-op. Solo clears do not qualify.
- After the fight, confirm that your teammate claims the Energy reward. This step is mandatory for the Feather to register.
- Each qualifying clear grants progress toward your Feather total. You do not need to track this manually.
- Once you reach the required Feather threshold, Promise Keeper unlocks instantly as a Hero Title with no additional interaction needed.
Leveling up the Promise Keeper title
Unlocking Promise Keeper is only the first milestone. Continuing to earn Never-Delay Feathers will:
- Increase the title level
- Visually reflect your ongoing co-op commitment
- Signal reliability and consistency in group content
There is no reset requirement or manual upgrade screen—progress continues automatically as long as you keep meeting the conditions.
