June 18, 2026 Update

Hello! As part of the update on 18.06.2026, we are telling you about what will change in the game.

We are completing a major phase of the Crusader rebalance. This is the final major patch for it, and now we are shifting all our attention to the Sniper.Yes, the Sniper rebalance has shifted slightly, because the last major releases were more difficult than we planned. Emotionally, with a huge amount of feedback, for which we are immensely grateful to you.Upon logging into the game, until the next scheduled maintenance, as a Crusader class character you will automatically receive a personal gift:

  • up to level 50 — Royal Mandrake Flower
  • 50+ level — Royal Mandrake Fruit

The gift will be added directly to your character's backpack. If there is not enough free space in the backpack, the item will go into your pocket, nothing will be lost!Some of the Crusader changes naturally affect the effectiveness of TRs as well. This is due to the fact that the first talent branch is shared for both classes and is built on a single principle.Below you will find the full list of Crusader changes that are already ready for release on the servers.

What will the Crusader become?

🛡️ Talent changes

Active and passive abilities

Courage
— Attack bonus increased from 5% to 7%.
— The check and activation radius of the ability has been increased.
Power
— Now abilities activated by the talent apply not 1, but 2 stacks of the "Broken Armor" effect.
Cavalry Charge
— The list of abilities that grant stacks has been expanded.
— Maximum number of stacks increased from 8 to 10.
— The stack removal mechanic has been changed: now they are removed 1 at a time, rather than all at once.
— Important: The visual display of the buff in the interface has been changed

Battle Determination
— The base effect (20% energy cost reduction in combat) has been retained.
— A new effect has been added: Attacking an enemy restores 10 energy. Triggers no more than once every 5 seconds.
Zeal
— New mechanic: When maximum fury is reached, the Crusader receives the "Fortitude" effect for 5 seconds. Repeated activation is possible no more than once every 8 seconds.
Inquisitor — New mechanic: Every 10th direct hit by the Crusader on a target with the "Heretic's Brand" effect deals additional damage equal to 10% of the target's current HP (but no more than 10,000 damage).
Providence
— The 0.5 sec reduction in the cast time of " Grand Cross" has been retained.
— The list of abilities whose cooldown is reduced when using "Ray of Light" or "Holy Wrath" has been expanded. Added to the list: "Planar Barrier" and "Justice Strike".

IMPORTANT:

We are returning Real Currency to the market, as well as the ability to remove the Trader.Previously, this restriction was introduced for new servers — as a temporary measure to protect the developing economy at the start. At that time, it was a justified and necessary decision.Now the server economies have stabilized, and we see that the market is ready for the return of full-fledged trading without risks to the balance.On future new servers, this restriction will most likely be reinstated — as a temporary starting measure.
See you in Royal Quest!
