This update slightly diverts from the roadmap order by incorporating mechanics from the next chapter, as a complete overhaul of the tutorial system is taking longer than we anticipated.

Events

• Added a system for scheduled regular events;
• Our trial event will be Fazira (starts daily at 00:00, 08:00, 16:00 UTC+3):
• Duration: 2 hours;
• Increased experience gained in the location (+150%);
• Increased Ice Token drop rate (+25%);
• Increased cloak drop rate (+10%);
• Increased level of all creatures (+20%);
• Added "Freeze" powder to the loot;
• NPC herb exchanger in the Green Zone exchanges herbs at an average rate (3:1);
• Added an NPC herb exchanger in the Black Zone with a favorable exchange rate (1:3);
• The teleport to the event Fazira is located at the previous Fazira teleport spot;
• After the event ends, all characters return to Harbur;

Former Fazira and Mountain Pass

• Added a new location: Mountain Pass, a Black Zone rich in Frostleafs;
• Entrance to the original Fazira will be located in this Pass;
• Experience from spiders reduced by 50% in former Fazira;
• NPC herb exchanger in the Green Zone exchanges herbs at an unfavorable rate (10:1);

Quests

• Introduced a new quest system, with a gradual migration of current quests:
• Mob-killing quests;
• Seasonal bill quests;
• For feedback, quests that have already been transferred have the prefix (NEW) in their names;
• Fixed an error in quest appearance probability calculation that significantly lowered it;
• Fixed an error causing quest progress rollback when switching between servers (seamless transition);
• Fixed an error causing setbacks in “collect” quests that were being completed gradually;
• Fixed an error in DQB* update where it only occurred during daily (in-game time) reward rerolls for quests**
• *DQB — Dynamic Quest Balance: NPCs change quest requirements based on how many times a quest has been completed while keeping rewards unchanged;
• **Daily quest reward changes: once per in-game day at a specific time (usually location-dependent), the taler rewards for quests change (range up to +/- 90%);

NPCs

• (Fazira) Added an NPC processor for exchanging coins of different types;
• Changed the type of NPC processing bills from a quest giver to a processor;
• NPC quest givers with seasonal bill offers are now 60% more profitable;

Shields and Blocking

• Significantly increased the drop chance for T4-T9 shield recipes and blanks;
• Improved shield usage physics;
• Temporarily changed the blockingmechanics; now when a shield is raised and hit:
• Magic of the "projectile" type (magic arrows) and crossbow arrows deal no damage;
• Air magic deals damage considering shield bonuses;
• Magic of the "projectile" type with (de)buffs (e.g., Purification Powder) does not apply (de)buffs;
• (Temporarily) Melee weapon attacks deal no damage;
• The current shield blocking system is being prepared for a new formula and a new parameter for weapons/magic—whether to deal damage when hitting a shield.

Additions

• T0 powder vendors in Harbur and Buddre;
• A new item type that drops on death but does not block teleportation (includes: Ice Tokens, Frostleafs, rune shards);
• Ability to sell Fazira coins on the Market;

Changes

• Druid's mana restoration powder ("Inspiration"): Cooldown reduced to 5 sec, cast time reduced to 4 sec, added sprint restriction during use;
• 25% reduction in debuff from AOE powder "Thunder";
• Visual improvements for objects used on mountains;

Fixes

• Various inaccuracies in map markers;
• (Gwasgar, Oer) Spawn points for stone blocks in quarries;
• Localization, names, and NPC titles;

Other

• New system for logging all taler transactions in the game;
