Eldara Update — Faction Rework, House Stores & Cremation Fixes
⚔️ Faction Combat Rework
Every House now grants a permanent combat identity that stays useful even after your skills are maxed:
- Ashen Legion → +Damage
- Verdant Circle → +Max HP
- Gilded Hammer → +Defence
Sworn members get the full bonus (up to +25% at max standing); non-members get a weaker version (up to +5%). You hold one oath, so you're strong in your House's stat and lightly buffed in the other two.
Note: combat damage is now tied to Ashen membership, not rep alone — if you built Ashen standing but swore elsewhere, your damage bonus drops, but you gain your own House's identity (HP or Defence). Dedicated Ashen members are unchanged.
🛒 New: House Store (Faction Shop)
A gold sink in each House's page — spend gold to call that House's timed events. Each shows in your combat HUD with a live countdown.
- General (Recognized): Ashen Muster (+20% Combat XP) · Verdant Flourish (+20% Gathering/Cultivating XP) · Gilded Bonanza (+20% Gold)
- Member-exclusive (Exalted + sworn): War Drums (enemy Max Hit −10%) · Wilt (enemy Max HP −10%) · Forge-Surge (+5% of your Max Hit added to your Min Hit)
🔥 Cremation & Ancient Surge
- Ancient Surge now speeds up the bone you're already burying, not just the next one.
- Ancient Surge now appears while cremating — no need to start another skill first.
- The Bone Grinder can now drop the Cremation pet while it burns bones.
🩹 Fixes
- Offline dungeons now overflow loot to your Bank when your inventory fills, instead of piling up and stalling.
