revision of the magical rods

Dorns: * revised to improve Solo-Pve for healers Pyro explosion: Now a channeled skill shot with reward for positioning and timing agonizing soul (demonic staff): frightened opponent, based on stacking of any eyesore * rejuvenating flower: a unique, multi -part spell

Each rod line has specific colors for better recognizability, and numerous changes to the mechanics were also made so that magicians have more options, but the struggle remains dynamic and fair at the same time. Fire, saint, cursed, and natural sticks are completely revised with this update, the Arkan and frost sticks awaits the same program after the update is live.

portal cities

With the update, portal cities are introduced, they replace the previous portal zones and serve as an expansion of the royal cities in the outlands. These cities make it easier for new players to get into the outlands. At the same time, they offer convenience and time savings for more experienced collectors and fighters.

Together with important buildings such as that of the energy clerk and repair stations, each portal city also shares the respective bank and marketplace with the associated royal city, which is much easier to buy, sell and new equipment. With their visually revised invisibility shrines and protective bubbles when re -entering these cities also serve as a practical respawn point in the outlands.

locks and castle outlets

The update brings changes for locks and outposts. Improved layouts and graphics should make the struggles more dynamic, fairer and visually more varied, while the castle owners are given more opportunities to defend their fortress. Different rarity levels and synchronized timers on chests challenge to fight on different fronts at the same time.

Chests appear on the world map before they can be stressed, and also show their rarity level, which gives smaller guilds a way to focus on the coveted goals. In addition, losing pensions spawn more often per day, so that there are occasions to offer big battles throughout the week. By the way, the update brings locks, the seasonal points are no longer obtained through a starch challenge, no longer through passive control.
