In the upcoming 5.8 update, the material tracking feature will receive a minor update. When tracking regional specialties, the tracking interface will also display characters who have a special passive ability to detect local specialties in a region.

Furthermore, the Oculus Resonance Stone will receive some minor adjustments. If you have already marked one Oculus location, you can use this gadget to track the location of a new one.

4) Special markers added for character-compatible artifacts

Since some players could be confused about what artifacts to use on their characters, the developers have added a new update to help them. After version 5.8, when a fully leveled 5-star artifact has the required main affix and sub-stats, it will be marked with a special icon.

You can check this in the Artifacts tab on the Character page. If you're having a difficult time selecting good artifacts for any character, you can use this feature, which can also be turned off in the system settings.
