Dear friends!
We’ll tell you about the changes and the things that we are working on that haven’t got into that patch.

Attention!

• We fixed the chat filter error when several languages were turned on by default;
• BUT! You have to manually set the chat filters if your character was created before the patch of 07/04/2024.
• For newly created characters, we would also strongly advise setting up your filters yourself, since the default values may not satisfy your preferences

Patch #2:

AI:

• Tooltip:
  • enemy level is now visible (but not for bosses);
• another iteration of level dots;
• All common mobs take 3-5 times more time to start regenerating health;
• Boar:
  • nearly impossible to kite it by just running around it;
  • has a higher chance to miss with its attacks;
  • Skeleton:
  • takes twice as long to cast its regenerating spell;
  • the regeneration lasts 10 seconds (1-3% of HP), can be dispeled;
  • AI XP gains:
  • increased the XP gained from skeletons;
  • bosses don’t give XP, except for animal bosses (temporary decision to prevent XP abuses);

Rivulet Island – Beginner’s Land:

• Black Territories:
  • no Black Zones (free PvP) on the surface of the Island;
• the mine is now safe from PvP;
• 50% of the spider cave are covered by a safe zone, but it is harder to farm resources there (safe and unsafe zones are divided by cascade of spider webs);
• Catacombs, castle, skeletons:
• Still Black Zones;
• skeletons yield better rewards (including T2 items);
• Quests and DQB (Dynamic Quest Balance):
• turned off DQB in all quests on the Island;
  • quest requirements will not change with the growing demand of other players on these quests;
• Increased the rewards of quests on animal trophies;
• Bosses:
• respawn time of animal bosses was decreased (random offset between 4-8 minutes);
• decreased the respawn time of the troll (6-12 minutes);

Other changes:

• Magic:
  • Air powders consume 25-35% more mana;
• Priest and karma:
• Increased the base cost;
• Changed the algorithm for calculating personal cost growth;
• Changed the widget (now “additional price” shows personal additional cost and the additional costs from DVB);
• Reset personal additional cost values;
• Vocational abilities:
• Fixed some of the vocational abilities (there was no difference between levels 1, 2, and 3);
• Some T3 buffs of the abilities got deleted when transferring between servers;
• Theif (received quite some nerfs):
  • Stealing: decreased the average sum by 30%, increased the randomization range, and increased CD from 2 to 5 minutes;
  • Note: these measures will stay in place until we add penalties for theft and magic that allows to see the invisible;
• Foxes/Changes/Additions:
• Expanded and reworked the information in the pop-up window of the Tavern and the Island;
