Update 2.0.2 Notes

Greetings, Adventurers, and welcome to the second significant Update for Horizon’s Call!

We’re not slowing down, and today’s Notes will show just how hard we’ve been working. While the first Expansion brought many exciting new systems and features to Ravendawn, we recognize that some of these still require fine-tuning. Rest assured, we are committed to making these improvements as quickly as possible. At the same time, we know that player progression shouldn’t be put on hold, so alongside a slew of fixes and improvements, we’re also introducing fresh content!

In today’s Update 2.0.2, you can look forward to new Events, Monsters, and Hunting Spots, as well as significant changes to Professions, headlined by the long-awaited Mining Overhaul. Additionally, we’ve implemented notable updates to the Aether Rift, Guild Wars, and Infusion Experience systems.

Moreover, Ranger’s Company items have been revamped to better align with the current state of the game, and Sea Creatures have received updates and loot improvements. This Update also brings vital Quality of Life enhancements, including the ability to queue melee skill in the Action Bar, which will automatically execute when you’re in range, and visual feedback when the crosshair of a skill is out of range.

We’ve also made numerous other changes and fixes, all of which are precisely detailed in the changelog below, so make sure to review them thoroughly.

And we’ve saved the best for last! With today’s Update, we’re thrilled to introduce the highly anticipated Leaderboards!

So let’s dive straight into the details of what Update 2.0.2 has in store!

We would like to announce that the highly anticipated Leaderboards will be accessible through the homepage of our website right after the maintenance of Update 2.0.2 is completed!

With so many competitive players constantly pushing their limits, we’re excited to offer real-time tracking of your progress. Our Leaderboards display the Top 200 players across the following categories:

• Legacy Level
• Daily Experience
• Monthly Experience (avaiable starting next month)
• Professions Level
• Highest AP/DP
• Heaviest Fish Caught
• Highest Rangers Company Rank
• Number of Aether Rifts Won
• Shortest Completion Time of Aether Echoes on Madness

In order for the information to be properly tracked, make sure to log-in to your character for the data to update. Then, visit the Leaderboard and see if your name has made it to the Hall of Fame! 

If you haven’t secured your spot yet, we wish you the best of luck and encourage you to keep striving — you might just be the next to break into the ranks! Head over to the website and see where you stand!

With the latest Update, we are continuing on the path of releasing new Events. This time around a total of three new Events are being added to the Frost Steppes, each related to a different aspect of the region!

Blood Bowl shows a little more of the Yornish way of life, while Primal Stampede puts the untamed wildlife of the Frost Steppes on center stage. Finally, Prison on the Peak gives a taste of the distant past as we gear up to explore more on this topic in the coming Updates…

Alongside new events, we’ve also updated the Undead Harvesting event to improve clarity in regards to successfully completing the event and claiming the rewards that come with that.

New Events:

• Blood Bowl (Frost Steppes) — Level 73
  Each Yornish settlement has their own rights of passage and entertainment. The Yornish of Yorn'omaala enjoy the spectacle of blood sports and any who answer the call of the Herald may challenge the Yornish Champion.
• Prison on the Peak (Frost Steppes) — Level 77
  The Titan Claws are a desolate and dangerous place, filled with long-forgotten magic. However, something has begun to stir on those peaks. Something ancient and hungry....
• Primal Stampede (Frost Steppes) — Level 68
  Mammoth Bulls are known for their territorial nature and occasionally they even band together to remove intruders.

Changes to Undead Harvesting:

• Event trigger has been changed.
• Expanded the system message triggered from starting the event to play for everyone in Glaceforde.
• Added a failsafe if players exit the event area with the quest item Malgar's Device and speak to the quest giver. This will remove the quest item in order to provide the correct normal inventory item.
• Removed players ability to teleport outside the event area even while the event is inactive.
• Taking damage now interrupts channeling the interaction with the leghold trap.
• Task two will now always trigger.
• Increased the number of Frostrisen required to be fished or harvested on task two to 12.
• Increased the number of Frostrisen required to be fished or harvested on task three to 16.
• Adjusted the chances for different Frostrisen skeletons to be spawned during task one, two and three.
• Increased the drop rates of Frostrisen Shards from all creatures.
• Reduced contribution points received from harvesting Frostrisen to 400.
• Added a fourth task with a chance to trigger.

The overall changes are intended to add clarity to the event, improve the rate of successful completion and allow for the event to trigger more frequently, but less predictably.

Gotta catch 'em all!

One of our big focal points at this time is the expansion of creature families with new, stronger members that provide more experience and a greater challenge to high level players! In this Update we are adding new creatures to the Skorn and Winterborn. More information on new spawns can be found below.

Skorn Family:

• Skorn Fanatic — Masked from head to toe, these crazed lunatics are said to have carved demonic symbols into their flesh to be closer to their otherworldly masters. Each one is pledged to serve a demon from Pandemonium, imbuing them with greater power than other, less devoted cultists.
• Skorn Dreadknight — Among the ranks of Skorn's followers, few inspire fear quite like the Dreadknights. Few in number and rarely seen outside their foul temples, whenever these champions of Pandemonium do venture out, they spread fear and desolation to everything they touch. Lorekeepers believe that a Dreadknight’s mortal soul is stitched to that of a demon by Demonologists and two become one.
• Skorn Demonologist — Few individuals are as terrifying as Skorn Demonologists. Having spent many decades learning from Skorn's writings, they are capable of commanding and summoning not only demons, but other monsters to aid them in battle. A fanatical servant of demons is a threat, but a mortal capable of taming demons is to be feared absolutely.

Winterborn Family:

• Winterborn Icebreaker — It wasn't well understood how the Winterborn managed to carve out their settlements on the frozen continent, until the Icebreakers were witnessed creating tunnels and shaping the ice itself to serve their people's needs. While they primarily act as builders, long hours spent breaking apart ice and frozen earth have made them incredibly strong and resilient warriors not to be underestimated.
• Winterborn Iceguard — Among the Winterborn, all must earn their place by proving their value to the community, and the Iceguard are only chosen from the best of the best to serve as protectors and bodyguards of renowned leaders. Each Iceguard's armor is specially created and enchanted with the ice magic of the Frostmancers to only obey them, with no two ever being exactly the same.
• Winterborn Frostmancer — Masters of ice and frost, the elder mages of the Winterborn are as respected as they are feared by their people. Many whisper that to reach this level of mastery requires them to give up a part of their soul to the harshness of Glaceforde and freeze their hearts so that they may never feel the love or warmth of another. The truth is perhaps somewhere in between, as surely such power does not come without a price to pay...

Creature Edits:

• Winterborn Guardian — Adjusted creature all skill values to better follow other creature designs.
• Winterborn Hunter — Adjusted the AP/DP ratio to favor offensive power over defense and adjusted Coldblast skill to better follow other creature designs.
• Winterborn Shaman — Adjusted the AP/DP ratio to favor offensive power over defense. Removed Frost Tip Arrow as a skill and added Winterborn Spirit Rangers as a new skill.
• Brotherhood Ranger — Changed the asset's color tone.

The addition of new high level creatures is just a start of the process as other families are already planned to receive more attention in the near future!

As mentioned above in the New Creatures section, we are introducing 4 new creature spawns and improved 2 existing spawns to allow for better rotation and a more fulfilling experience while hunting in those locations.

The purpose of these new spawns is to increase the variety of hunting grounds for our high level players and to bring new life into existing spawns that previously drew little attention. With the additions and changes listed below, we hope that everyone will find something that appeals to them!

New High Level Spawns:

• Winterborn spawn under Matchwood Camp — Level 81-84

While the Winterborn settlement occupies a wide area on the surface, the strongest of the Winterborn are found below, including the ferocious Winterborn Icebreakers and Iceguards along with the powerful Frostmancers.

• Skorn spawn under Fiend's Eye — Level 83-85

A new detachment of Skorn cultists has been sighted heading deep underground to perform their profane rituals and cavort with demons. There are even rumors of Dreadknights and Demonologists amidst their ranks. Any who would attempt an assault on these traitors to mankind are sure to encounter Skorn Fanatics - madmen willing to give up their lives for their despicable masters.

• Shark spawn under Sharpa Keys — Level 77-80

Ever greedy for more stolen goods, the sharks near Tarmire have dug out new tunnels to stash their ill gotten gains. Veterans willing to delve deep and root out these vile brigands are encouraged to reduce the pressure on all merchant ships passing through Sharpa Keys.

• Troll spawn under Tarnag Mountain — Level 75-78

Whispers abound in Riverend that a new clan of trolls has settled in the caverns deep below Tarnag Mountain. Far stronger and more dangerous than their surface kin, all but the most experienced of adventurers are advised to stay away.

Current Spawns:

• Revamped the Demon spawn below the Riftsand — Level 75-79
  The area shape was changed and a new extension has been added for better rotation and maneuverability.

Demons are fickle creatures and love to indulge in chaos. Tired of their cramped home, they have taken to destroying cave walls and opening new tunnels in an effort to shake things up!

• Revamped the Warhogs spawn in the Tuskan Highlands — Level 79-82

Brutal fights over food and space are common among the Warhogs and the stronger they are, the more they battle one another for supremacy. It appears that recent turmoil has not only reshaped their society, but their home too. New passages and connections have appeared.

When Aether Rifts were first released, there were many unknowns outstanding in how the community at large would respond to the system and a lot of excitement on our end to see it evolve over time. Now that we have some distance from Horizon's Call and the meta has progressed and evolved, we'd like to introduce several much needed changes to improve the experience of Rifts and make them a more intense and rewarding event.

These are as follows:

• Reduced total length of Aether Rifts from 20 to 10 minutes.
• Changed the outcome of 1 member of a duo team winning the rift while their teammate is down. Now, when your teammate is defeated, but you still win the duo rift, you will have the option to continue in solo rifts, assuming you can still delve deeper.
• Added a new condition for the Aether Corruption's spawning. If you have defeated the opposing team, the boss will be awakened early and spawn in the central chamber. Additionally, when the boss is spawned in this manner, Aetherial Madness debuff will not activate.
• Adjusted how Aetherial Madness debuff works. If the debuff is active while PvP is ongoing, it will be cleansed immediately from the victorious party to avoid scenarios where players would die to it after winning the PvP encounter.
• Adjusted how the Broken Sanity debuff works. If the debuff is active while 2 teams are engaged in PvP and the Boss has not been defeated nor the chest spawned, then Broken Sanity will be cleansed from whichever team emerges victorious, and a further 2:30 minutes timer would be added to defeat the boss or claim the chest.
• Added a new spawn and death animation to the Aether Corruption boss.
• Aether Corruption now correctly targets anyone inside the boss room.
• Adjusted solo and duo tooltips with updated information.
• Removed Effort generation from Aether Rifts.

With the above changes, we expect to see a more streamlined version of Aether Rifts where refining your tactics and developing strategies under new time constraints will be rewarded most!

We're making important changes to how Crafting and Infusion Experience on items function in the game. These adjustments are aimed at introducing a minimum liquid value to items with undesirable stats and encouraging players to craft higher-tier items. Changes to material obtainment frequency will be coming in the near future.

We've rebalanced the Infusion experience curve to reduce the effectiveness of strategies focused on pig/sheep farming to mass-produce low-tier armor for nfusion materials. While we understand the origin of this strategy, the upcoming increase in infusion availability and the significant XP buff from Tier 3 and above should offset this nerf. Additionally, the recent influx of Tier 3 materials into the market will further support this shift.

We believe these changes will positively impact the economy, creating value for poorly rolled items while also sparing your mouse from excessive wear and tear.

As per our announcement on September 20th, equipment offers on the market have been reset with this Update to ensure an even playing field when it comes to the Infusions market.

Find below all the adjustments that were applied to Infusion Experience value provided by Equipment:

With this latest update, we wanted to bring forth a few, but necessary improvements to greatly reduce the pressures on our passionate fishermen that came about with the overhaul of the Ocean itself. With the changes below, we are providing a tool to avoid dangerous sea creatures and provide greater rewards on the Plunder Channel as well as catching Legendary Fish.

• Added a new default skill, Pacific Fisher, for all types of fishing ships:
  Pacific Fisher ー Creatures won't attack you after a fish is hooked unless they were already attacking beforehand.
  This addition is expected to greatly enhance the comfort of fishing.
• Significantly increased material yield from slicing Legendary Fishes by five times compared to regular fishes.
• Increased the value of fish caught and sold on Plunder Channel in both silver and materials by 25%.

There will be more improvements to Fishing coming in the next Updates so look forward to the changes ahead!

Mining has long been an area of Ravendawn that we wished to tackle and improve. With the release of Horizon’s Call, we finally have been able to bring substantial changes and additions to address many of the concerns and issues that have been flagged by our dedicated miners.

From increasing the general Experience rewarded from Mining and expanding mines to introducing mechanics that alleviate pressure on lower level miners, while adequately rewarding those who have invested a lot of time into reaching  higher levels, we expect that the following changes below will greatly improve the overall experience of miners, both new and old!

Mining Profession Overhaul:

• Overhauled the revealed ore mechanic (after the first layer of stone) — it will no longer be based on the Mining Level, but on the surrounding creatures level instead. This will reduce the pressure on lower level miners in having to compete with higher levels and increase the potential for receiving end game ores from level appropriate locations.
  This means that if you're looking for Titanium, you better head into higher level mines to get your haul!
• Introduced Plentiful Nodes — These nodes appear randomly, but are seen more often in higher mines with higher level creatures. Plentiful Nodes appear in three Tiers, providing 50%, 100% and 300% as much as times the normal experience and resources from Mining respectively.
• Changed ore obtainment — The maximum number of ores received from successfully mining nodes increases as you level your Mining profession.
  The more experienced the miner, the more they can get out of their work!
• Changed how ores appear and reset — Whenever the stone layer is cleared and the revealed ore is not depleted, the node will reset to its starting condition after a set amount of time.
  The new dynamic should result in players encountering more usable mining nodes!
• Removed instant respawn from mining nodes — This means that after mining the stone and ore layers the node will no longer have a chance to instantly refresh.
• Slightly changed the position of some of the creatures around the world, and added some creatures in order to protect the mining nodes around Ravendawn. 
  Creatures want to protect their spoils too... 

Increased EXP from Mining profession:

• Stone Layer — From 120 to 250.
• Copper Node — From 240 to 425.
• Iron Node — From 320 to 650.
• Cobalt Node — From 450 to 900.
• Titanium Node — From 750 to 1,250.

Added new mining nodes for the following regions:

• Glaceforde — Iceforge Dwarf (level 80) cave.
• Glaceforde — Frostbound Drake (level 75) cave.
• The Blotch — Sporewalker (level 75) cave.
• Elder Coast — Poisonpetal (level 65) cave.
• Crowhollow Bog — Crowmaidens (level 59) cave.
• Fields of Despair — Skorn (level 53) cave.
• Pirate Isles — Hidden Isle (level 41).
• Rohna Woods — Dwarves (level 36) cave.
• Harbor Isle — Pearlshell Tortoise (level 30) cave.
• Glademire — Brown Bear (level 19) caves.

The change aims to improve the rotation and accessibility for miners in the following regions.
A recent wave of earthquakes throughout Ravendawn have revealed new mining nodes. 

Despite being essential in making progress for many players, Blacksmithing has unfortunately been underwhelming in many aspects compared to other crafting professions and with our overhaul of Mining, it is only fitting that we show some love to those who shape metal into masterpieces. 

In this Update, general Experience gained has been increased across the board, while many recipes have had their material requirements adjusted to better reflect their value and availability of resources in-game.

Our goal is to provide the best quality and a smooth experience for all players, which is why we’ve slightly delayed the rollout of these changes. However, we believe our community deserves to know the direction we’re headed, and we’re eager to hear your feedback on the changes listed below.

Since the release of Horizon's Call, we have been reading through your feedback and looking at ways to build upon the foundations of this system. One thing that was made clear is the fact that some participating Guilds do not engage with the event at all and simply enter Guild Wars in order to send one person in and throw the match.

This, of course, is not a strategy that we wish to reward as even the rewards granted to a losing Guild ought to be earned. With that being said, let’s move into the planned new improvements to Guild Wars system.

Upcoming Guild Wars Changes:

• Guild Wars will use the points scored to determine the reward for the losing Guild. 
  In order to receive 100 Warforging Shards for the participating team and 50 for all other members, the team will have to score at least 1,000 Points during the Guild Wars battle to receive the maximum value of this reward.
  If a Guild scores less, they will receive proportionally less Warforging Shards for the team and non-participating members.
• The value of killing enemy players inside Guild Wars will change from 1 ➝ 5 Points.
• The value of capturing the flag inside Guild Wars will change from 50 ➝ 100 Points.
• The minimum required bid will change from 3,000,000 ➝ 5,000,000 silver.
• If a team does not show up to participate in Guild Wars, they will receive no rewards.
• Guild Wars UI tooltips will change to display the updated information.

The system's development is ongoing, and we remain focused on identifying future improvements while staying committed to resolving all current and future issues that may arise during gameplay. With these changes in place, we expect to see everyone giving their best while battling inside of Guild Wars!
