This update is primarily focused on experience (XP) and a number of important fixes.
Epxerience
- Experience Redirection Powders have been completely reworked with new logic:
- Now they convert all received XP into the specified attribute;
- Only one powder can be used at a time (they will override each other);
- Merchants selling these powders have been added to all cities, not just Isgollyne;
- New Experience Boost Powders have been added in 2 types:
- Regular and Phantom Learning powders;
- Both types have 3 levels: +15%, +30%, and +50%;
- Different types can stack (e.g., you can use both a regular and a Phantom powder at the same time);
- Levels within the same type cannot stack (they overwrite each other).
- +30% XP for Everyone:
- For every 1 hour of offline time, the character receives a +30% XP buff (Learning) for 5 minutes, up to a maximum of 1 hour in total;
- If the character had a +30% buff with less than 1 hour remaining when logging out, it will be extended to 1 hour;
- If the character had a +15% or +50% buff when logging out, the offline bonus will not be applied;
- Where to Get Powders:
- (temporarily) Regular powders can be exchanged for Seals at NPCs;
- With the introduction of the new location (Blazing Forest), they will be crafted with Rune Shards;
- Phantom powders have been added to the in-game store;
- Fixed the main issue with incorrect XP distribution in parties when members have redirection effects;
- What’s Next:
- XP events (weekends, holidays, etc.);
- Event locations with bonus XP;
- Castle runes for XP;
Fixed
- Display of effects in buff tooltips;
- Display of HP/MP/Energy regeneration modifiers in tooltips and correct values in the combat log;
- Combat log saving;
- Order of letters indicating item quality in the exchange window and powder crafting window;
- Display of stats when linking enchanted items in chat;
- Incorrect disappearance of nameplates on character death;
- Fixed the display of map markers on opposite continents;
Changed
- The NPC (quest giver) who exchanged Frost Leaf in Fazira has been replaced with an NPC (processor) for easier handling of large quantities;
Herb Spawns
- (Temporarily) Disabled the ecosystem on herb spawners, which could lead to a "bad harvest" until the end of the in-game month.
- Increased the number of herbs in Dwarrhan by 3 to 14 times.
- Increased mushroom spawns in craters and swamps by 2 to 5 times, adjusted respawn cooldowns and variety.
- We are monitoring the situation with herb-selling NPCs, but we remind you that these vendors were introduced as an expensive alternative to gathering herbs in the open world. Our changes aim to encourage player-to-player trading rather than trading with NPCs by increasing plant availability in Dwarrhan.
Castles
- Fort burning:
- When expensive runes are placed in castles, the burning time for forts has been increased to 5 minutes for regular castles (levels 15 and 45) and 10 minutes for royal castles (levels 30 and 60);
- Elixirs:
- Duration of regular elixirs increased to 24 hours;
- Duration of royal elixirs increased to 72 hours;
Sincerely,
The Atlant Games Team
