Official Artworks Vol. 1[]

Cover for the Reset ver. of Vol. 1
The Official Artworks Volume 1 was first announced during the CN's first anniversary livestream in 2020. The book contains Operator artworks and concept arts from its first launch until Ancient Forge along with some interviews regarding their creativity process.
Players in CN server who pre-ordered the book will be given two special gifts: Amiya's Planter outfit via a special redemption code given and a small package of chrysanthemum seeds as extra reward.
In JP server's Il Siracusano livestream, Yostar announced the publication of the Japanese version of Vol. 01.[1]
Controversy[]
The Vol. 1 was soon embroiled into a serious controversy due to its poorly-made quality. The book was mainly complained for being lack of content in which it only shows the Operators' Elite 2 artworks without the concept artworks as promised. However, these complains also included printing errors, grammar issues, and many more. Besides, the chrysanthemum seeds given turned out to be fraudulent as some of them are not chrysanthemum but other plants such as chili.
The resentment on this artbook was one of the leading factors to the Dossoles Holiday controversy. See here for more info.

Reset ver.[]
In response to such controversy, HG announced the Reset version during the livestream of Stultifera Navis. As a compensation, those who had already purchased the original Vol. 1 during pre-order (before April 20, 2022) could get the Reset ver. free of charge (for CN server only). Players who purchased it for the first time were also given the chance to redeem Amiya's Planter outfit.
The publication month was set in June 2022, but due to pandemic restrictions, it was postponed until August.
The Reset ver. has a much more improved quality such as the promised concept arts for all the Operators (including their outfits). Along with that, the book ends with an acknowledgement for their mistakes during the Vol. 1 as an apology to the readers.
