This update is slated for release next week!
New Content
Community Event! Zolea’s Halloween Spirit!
Halloween is creeping up, but as a spirit herself, Zolea finds the city’s Halloween spirit to be lacking! She requests that all shopkeepers serve trick or treaters with zeal!
For the duration of the event, the entire community must serve 75 million customers! Any sale made in the shop counts, including king sales and Champion requests! If this challenge is completed, Zolea will reward all players with the following:
- 50 Ascension Shards
- 50 Antique Tokens
- 50 Dragonmarks
- 5 Limited Edition!
But there’s more! On the third day of the event, a Secret Challenge will be revealed. Completing both challenges in time will cause Zolea to overflow with joy (and Halloween spirit). She will DOUBLE her Essence regeneration rate for an entire year! You don’t wanna miss that one!
As with last time, event progress will be shared every day through in-game mails as well as on our website. The event will run from October 21st and end on the 26th. If all challenges are completed, the Essence bonus reward will be implemented in the next update.
Halloween Neighborhood Content Pass
Another content pass so soon? And it’s got new stuff, too! Complete tasks and gather Candies for a tummy ache and cool new exclusive rewards! On top of cool new blueprints, there’s some outstanding decorations and customizations this time around!
- The Candy Bowl decoration invites customers to take candy from its bowl. This decoration tracks how many candies were taken!
- The Ghostkeeper customization uses bedsheet technology to turn your shopkeeper into a very convincing apparition! Your arms are not available, but you don’t need those anyway.
- As the Grand Prize, there is the Ghastly Cowl rogue hat! It’s a cool Tier 14 you don’t wanna miss!
Ardent trick or treaters can also unlock the Candy Fiend title by completing every single task in the Content Pass.
The Halloween Neighborhood Content Pass will run from October 1st until the 29th.
Major Changes
Bounty Refactor
Bounty balance has received a significant overhaul. Gone are the days of bounties asking for 9 highly specific crafts. They will now prefer asking for tiers, gold value, or simply crafts of any item or an item type rather than a specific item. In addition, bounties asking for specific item types will scale with your progress within that item type. Most other bounty types have received similar changes to make them flexible.
Do keep in mind however that once some members of a guild start updating to the latest version, players of the same guild who have not yet updated may see their bounty board stop generating bounties. This is a necessary inconvenience while two incompatible systems coexist in the same guild, but should be resolved once all members have updated.
In addition, any bounties currently in progress will be wiped after updating.
Dual Affinity
Some blueprints had a particular affinity for multiple elements. In these cases, their Affinity can now support up to two elements! A list of items affected by this change can be found at the bottom of these patch notes.
Minor Changes
- Gems earned from level ups are now part of the level up screen itself, rather than a separate celebration screen.
- Clarified the rulings for equipment never breaking during single-round quests. Sunglasses will now appear on the party only if the quest is expected to last only one round AND that no party members are defeated. This will guarantee a break-free quest.
King Schedule
King Reinhold will be available as a guest champion on October 14th until the 17th.
Bug Fixes
- Updated the Dunes and Beachside floorings so that they mesh better together.
- Fixed item icons looking a bit crunchy.
- Fixed a few Rudo skill strings.
- Fixed a few Wallpapers and Floorings that refused to show up as antiques in the antique store.
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is gone but not forgotten.
- Fixed the Favored Quest popup becoming misaligned when switching from landscape to portrait or vice versa.
- Fixed some blueprints (e.g. Artifact blueprints) displaying "x1" instead of "Exclusive" on offers.
- Fixed some offers not displaying the tier of a blueprint.
- Fixed furniture not properly sorting new decorations first in some scenarios.
- Improved the visual clarity of the energy count on customer interaction buttons. (legends say that it's actually true this time).
