The Age of Brave

Friends, this major update introduces several new mechanics and locations—but first, a word on our immediate plans.

Beyond hotfixes, our primary focus will be on rebalancing. We've already begun actively gathering community feedback, with the main priority being a reassessment of the current attack/defense imbalance. While we continue collecting input on how best to address this, we're considering several options:

Reverting armor bonus/malus values to their previous RD-era state—i.e., the more Physical Defense (PD) an armor piece grants, the greater the penalty to Magical Defense (MD);
Reverting penalties on enchantments—particularly forced ones—to their former values, where enchantments more heavily penalize the opposite stat;
Gradually restoring previous secondary stat requirements for small armor sets and jewelry;
Introducing passive effects tied to damage types and weapon classes (bleed, armor penetration, stun, etc.);

Join the ongoing balance discussions—and share your thoughts on the new changes in this patch!

Previously announced compensation and rollbacks for castle/guild owners::

All CIS accounts receive 7 days of titles (Chevalier and Merchant);
Castle owners, guilds, and their members are rolled back to 04:00 MSK, March 19, 2026;
Level 15/45/75 castles will remain occupied until approximately 21:00 MSK, March 25, 2026;
Level 30/60/90 castles will remain occupied until approximately 21:00 MSK, March 26, 2026;

The Island of the Brave

The Island of the Brave is a location offering unique rewards and challenges for experienced players with level 60 characters.

Rewards:

Stat rings—featuring bonuses to Health, Mana, Energy, Physical Attack, Physical Defense, Magical Attack, and Magical Defense—which can also be enchanted;
Rings are assembled from fragments dropped as rewards for defeating enemies on the island;
Rings come in five tiers: the first tier is crafted from fragments, while subsequent tiers are obtained by merging rings of the previous tier.

Restrictions:

Leaving the village on the island requires the active "Adventure" effect, obtained by activating a "Ticket" item;
Tickets come in three tiers: T1 grants 1 hour of effect duration, T2 — 6 hours, T3 — 12 hours;
Each day, players receive 30 minutes of free island time, which is consumed first before ticket duration is used;

Challenges:

Any death on the island reduces the "Ticket" effect duration by 30 minutes. A ticket fragment also drops from the fallen player, which can be sold or combined with other fragments to craft a full ticket;
The island's harsh tropical atmosphere takes a toll on equipment, accelerating wear at 10 times the normal rate, with an additional 1% durability loss upon death;
The island teems with dangerous enemies—one wrong step can easily lead to a swift demise;

The location:

The Island of the Brave is a reworked version of Stream Island—familiar to many as the old tutorial area.
The entire island is covered in a vibrant, rain-drenched tropical rainforest biome;

Enemies and Boss Mechanics:

Main boss — Tropical Leshy:

Unlike conventional bosses, the Leshy can spawn anywhere on the island and freely roams its entire perimeter;
Respawn time is 24 hours—but defeating enemies across the island accelerates his return. The stronger the foe, the more it reduces the time until the Leshy reappears;
He features unique mechanics and never returns to a spawn point under any circumstances;

Miniboss:

Battle Frog — a master of martial arts whose skills would make many warriors of Dwarrhan envious;

Regular Enemies:

Tropical Stickman — a small, elusive kamikaze (no nameplate) that explodes near its target;
Tropical Menada— far more dynamic than her Dwarrhan counterpart
Tropical Spider — faster and more aggressive than its mainland relatives;

All enemies on the island drop personal loot that cannot be stolen by other players. However, to qualify for the loot, you must deal a minimum amount of damage before the kill: 51% for regular mobs, 15% for the Battle Frog, 8% for the Leshy;

The Eternal Siege — Maenboff castle and Castle Taxes

The county castle of Maenboff County stands in the scorched valley and will operate under an "Eternal Siege" mechanic.

Castle Characteristics:

T4, Level 250;
Guards of level 60;
Castle and fort gates comparable to level 90 gates;
Forts burn down in 30 seconds;
Only external local teleport points for both attackers and defenders;

Castle phases:

Red — 60 minutes of real time;
Blue — 15 minutes;
White — absent; the castle automatically transitions from Red to Blue;
The timer for any phase is now displayed not only on the map but also directly on the castle;

Reward #1 Participation Rewards:

We're opening their contents up for community discussion, considering various options (all containing guaranteed "Bloody Coins" and a chance at rare rewards);

Castle owners at the time of occupation — "Owner" Chest;
51+ kills — "Glass Cannon" Chest;
25–50 kills — "Seasoned Fighter" Chest;
11–25 kills — "Fighter" Chest;
1–10 kills — "Participation" Chest;

Chest distribution is scheduled to begin on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

Reward #2 Taxes:

All NPC trade taxes are now distributed among castles (proportionally to their levels, with an additional ×2 multiplier for county castles);
Since Maenboff is level 250 and a county castle, it receives 40%+ of all collected taxes;
Taxes accumulated in Maenboff castle are transferred to the treasury at the start of the Blue phase; in other castles, as before, on the last day of the game month;

Teleportation System 2.0

A complete overhaul of the teleportation system:

Teleportation is now performed via the world map interface
You can teleport from any location—but only to existing destinations (settlements, castles, yellow and blue teleport points);
Teleportation time:

From a teleport point — instant
Yellow and Orange karma zones — 10 seconds
Black zone — 20 seconds

Teleportation cost:

Teleporting consumes tokens of a specific color;
Price depends on distance, departure point, and character load;
Departing from a teleport point — lowest cost;
Departing from anywhere on the surface — higher cost;
With cargo — even higher cost;

All restrictions on teleporting with previously prohibited items have been removed;
Teleportation now uses universal tokens differentiated only by familiar colors (green, red, yellow, and blue). Separate tokens apply in specific locations (Fazira and the Island of the Brave);
Token vendors will be adapted to the new system in upcoming patches

Parcels can no longer be sold at the auction;

Water readiness status changed to "Ready";
