New Content
- Conquer your way to the top with the brand new Leaderboard system in the Skyland base camp!
- Enjoy the completely revamped Skill Tree system:
- Visual Progression: Instead of passively unlocking godstones in a list, the new skill tree vividly showcases your journey as you level up.
- Empowered Choices: You'll have the freedom to explore godstone abilities before making your choice. Even when two godstones compete for a slot, you decide your path.
- Deep Dive: Each ability boasts its own branches and nodes. Customize your character to fit your style, with respec options available if you change your mind.
- Any Unique modifiers you collected will also be carried over to the new system and will become available to equip once you unlock Augments.
- Existing characters will be converted to the new system and you’ll be awarded points to invest in your skill trees.
Skill Tree Conversion Process
All the Godstones you possess, regardless of their rarity, will have their accumulated XP combined and converted into skill points for the new system. The conversion ratio is such that having a combination of XP equivalent to 3 fully upgraded epic Godstones will maximize the points for that skill tree.
For every maxed Godstone's worth of XP, we also roll for an Augment of the same rarity type, and any Unique modifiers you have collected will be directly carried over to the new system as epic Augments. Augment slots, and Augment drops become available once you max out the skill points for an ability.
For our veteran players who obtained legendary godstones in the first few weeks of launch, their XP will be considered as epics for Augment rolls, and as a special reward, we will also be granting an exclusive title.
