Development Update #02

This note summarises what has reached the Windows development build and the development servers in recent weeks. All of it runs in the game today. There is no release date.

Professions

There are six professions, each progressing to level 50. The gathering professions are mining, woodcutting and herbalism: veins and trees run out after a few uses, and a felled tree comes down. The crafting professions are cooking, blacksmithing and alchemy: food at the cooking hearth, whetstones and armour patches at the smithy, potions at the alchemy cauldron. Some recipes are learned from recipe books that can only be read once the matching profession is high enough.

Pet: Sibirnaz

The first pet is a cat called Sibirnaz. Equipped in the pet slot, it follows its owner, walks to loot bundles up to 30 metres away, picks them up and comes back. What it collects is chosen in the pet menu: gold, potions, stackable items and a price threshold.

World

The summit regions of the Aetherion and Grimkhan lands (Dragon Peak and Grimkhan Throne, levels 58–60) were reworked: the keeps now sit on the terrain and the field bosses moved to a brazier-ringed arena in front of them. Regions now have their own atmosphere; forests are dark, the Frost Valley is cold, the summits are red and dusty. Gordon’s empty square became a town with rows of houses, lantern-lit roads and stalls. In Colony Zone, stacked stone clutter was removed and replaced with hills placed evenly for both sides.

Party play and faction war

  • Party loot: each item in a bundle goes to a random eligible party member nearby; gold is split evenly and quest items stay personal.
  • Colony Zone victory: the winning faction earns 10% more experience and gold from monsters on every map for 60 minutes.
  • Priest resurrection and the Resurrection Stone let a fallen player get back up in the field.

Fixes

  • Changes to the hotbar are now saved on the server and kept across map changes.
  • Potions share a 2-second cooldown; health and mana potions can no longer be chained.
  • The loading screen and Colony Zone notices now show Turkish characters correctly.
