With membership coming this week 9 July 2026 5:00 PM PST / 8:00 PM EST / 10 July 12:00 AM GMT. We wanted to share some of the new content you can expect in the update, while not spoiling too much.

New Cavern

Lava cavern with new level 60 mobs and boss

New highest level sword and shield

Crystal cavern with new level 50 mining rock

Goblin cavern with new level 35 mobs and boss


New Quest

Without spoiling we want to show what to expect from the first quest, Open The Gates.Pressing [J] will bring up the quest log showing information about the quest and where to start it. This is our first quest so its a quick quest as most of the develop time was focused on building a powerful underlaying quest system.

Completing Open The Gates, will reward you with our first back slot item and access to Valen City.

This quest does require membership but we do have plans for adding free to play quests in the future.


Valen City

We don't want to spoil exploring the city but we do want to show off some things so you know what to expect out of the city. Here are some shots of the city.

Of course you can pet the dog.

And yes you can enter the buildings! To avoid spoiling everything we will just show off the potion making shop, here you can buy the new gilded vials and use a new Large Cauldron which can make up to 15 Large potions at once.

Not every building will be enterable yet as its a big city and we are saving them for future content.


New Bank

Members will also gain access to extra bank tabs, increasing bank space to 400 from 100.


And More
