Hello Adventurers!
This update is an expansion to class progression, adding new skills, new quests, new passives, new rewards, and a lot of extra polish across combat, quests, and the Village.
12 New And Updated Class Skills
Mage, Warrior, Archer, and Rogue have all received new skills.
Mage
Mana Siphon drains mana from enemies, restores mana to the Mage, and can grant Arcane Boost.
Lightning Strike calls down a powerful single-target spell.
Earth Spike hits three times with rising earth magic and can briefly stun.
Warrior
Second Wind restores stamina based on missing HP.
Taunt draws enemy attention, grants defense, and can retaliate against attackers.
Crippling Blow damages and slows the target, with extra power from two-handed weapons or against stunned enemies.
Archer
Fletching creates 20 temporary arrows. While active, equipped arrows are preserved and shots gain extra damage and speed.
Hawk Shot fires a precise shot that cannot be dodged.
Camouflage grants dodge and empowers the next Archer damage skill to crit and ignore defense.
Rogue
Steal costs no stamina, and can steal stamina as well as gold.
Hemorrhage consumes bleed and poison effects on the target for instant damage.
Fan of Knives throws a flurry of blades. Against one enemy, the full barrage hits that target. Against groups, the knives spread between enemies with a chance to bleed.

Class passive trees have grown with new bonuses built around the new skills.
Warriors gain bonuses for Taunt, Crippling Blow, and Second Wind.
Mages gain bonuses for Mana Siphon, Lightning Strike, and Earth Spike.
Archers gain bonuses for Fletching, Hawk Shot, and Camouflage.

20 New Class Mentor Quests
Each class mentor now has five new trials, adding 20 new class quests in total.
Trial IV unlocks your level 25 class utility skill.
Trial V asks you to master that newly unlocked skill.
Trial VI tests class mastery, passive investment, and weapon training.
Trial VII sends you hunting for class-themed quest items from dangerous monsters.
Trial VIII lets you face your class mentor in a replayable duel.
Mentor Duels
Shadow fights with Shadow clones.
Valerius fights behind Shield Plates.
Robin builds Focus Marks and attacks .
Celeste protects herself with a Mana Shield.
New Class Rewards
The new class questlines can reward class XP, class skill points, WubbaJubba Fruit, class supplies, powerful class rings, and class-specific Skill Reset tokens.
Trial VII rewards a strong class-locked level 35 ring:
Shadowmark Ring, Valerius's Iron Ring, Hawkmark Ring, or Celeste's Focus Ring.
Trial VIII rewards a class-specific Skill Reset token. These tokens reset only that class's active and passive skill training, giving you a way to rebuild after proving yourself to your mentor.
