Update 2.1.0 Notes

It’s the first major update of the year, and they say that how you start the year is how you’re going to end it, so we’re committed to starting it with a bang! Update 2.1.0 is here to deliver a brand new launcher, anti-cheat protection, new systems and overhauls to Tradepacks, Professions, Aether Echoes, Aether Rifts and Archetype Balance to quite literally change how you play the game.

There’s a lot of other general changes coming with this update as well as fixes, so let’s jump straight into the patch notes and get the ball rolling!
 

To lay the groundwork for future updates and greater clarity to our players with regard to changes that come to the game, we are introducing a new Launcher that will provide access to the latest Patch Notes, Website, Updates and more. Everything you need to stay connected with the community and the latest news!

To continue playing Ravendawn after the maintenance is completed, you will need to download the new Launcher from your Account Panel, but the download will only become available at a certain point during the maintenance that will bring Update 2.1.0. Keep an eye on the Changelog Channel on Discord to know when it will be available for you.

Reinforcing the improvements coming in Update 2.1.0, we remain committed to keeping Ravendawn fair for all adventurers. Our partnership with Anybrain has already helped us detect and remove thousands of cheaters, and we continue to strengthen our defenses.

For a deeper look at our latest efforts in this ongoing battle, check out our full DevBlog on BattlEye!

With the new update, we have decided to introduce some changes to the rewards offered from the Adventurer's Board. Just as the creature hunters have Adventuring Spirit to urge and reward them for making Ravendawn a safer place, we are introducing the Diligent and Harmonious Spirit buffs to be its equivalent to all the crafters and gatherers in the community who make up the backbone of the economy and make hunting the most dangerous of monsters possible. Details on the new effects and changes to Adventuring Spirit can be found below.

• Added 1 Aether Echo Scroll as a reward for non-Patrons after completing all 3 Adventurer's Board tasks. Patrons are entitled to this as well.
• Changed the Adventuring Spirit booster experience bonus to 25% instead of 100%.
• Added Diligent Spirit booster, granting a 30% bonus to experience gain to Blacksmithing, Weaving, Carpentry, Alchemy and Cooking. The total amount of experience affected by the bonus depends on the sum of your levels in the associated professions. Each level grants 300 experience towards this value, meaning that someone with level 20 in all 5 professions will receive a larger bonus than someone with 75 in a single profession and 1 in all others.
• Added Harmonious Spirit booster, granting a 20% bonus to experience gain to Farming, Husbandry, Woodcutting, Herbalism, Mining, Fishing and Breeding. The total amount works the same way as Diligent Spirit, except that each level in the associated professions grants 200 experience.
• Experience from Diligent and Harmonious Spirits only affects profession experience and does not impact legacy experience.
• Unused bonus experience from all boosters is lost each day during the server reset.
• Each booster is rewarded once per day from a single task. Meaning that if all three tasks are completed, all three boosters can be activated.

Aether Rifts

• Changed Aether Rifts task to appear on the Adventurer's Board to Legacy Level 50.
• Changed Aether Echoes task to appear on the Adventurer's Board to Legacy Level 75.
   

Tradepacks

We are happy to announce that the Adventurer's Board is receiving a new task to its listing! Delivering a Tradepack will now be available as a task starting from Legacy Level 35. The required number of Tradepacks needed for delivery scaled based on the player Legacy Level. Craft your own Tradepacks or steal them from others, the Adventurer's Board won't judge you! 

Aether Rifts are undergoing a significant overhaul, impacting everything from access mechanics to internal effects, creature strength, and rewards. These changes aim to create a more competitive environment by centralizing player interactions, leveling the playing field by encouraging strategic thinking develop around resource management, and fostering more intense PvP encounters.
 

General Changes

• Changed the minimum required level to enter Aether Rifts from 40 ➝ 50.
• Removed the 3 day limit to consume Aether Rift Charges. Aether Rift Charges are now limited to a total of 30.
• Dawn Essence reward increased from 125 → 150.
• Infusions reward decreased from 155 → 100.
• Treasure items rewarded by Aether Corruption Chest increased from 3 → 4.
• All players start with 100 Aether upon entering an Aether Rift.
• Opening the RavenCards UI is no longer permitted to prevent changing RavenCards while inside a Rift.
• Changing weapons and equipment is no longer allowed while inside a Rift.
• Added correct rarity colors to Aether Rift Trophies.
• Removed passive Mana Regeneration bonus inside Rifts (25).
• Reduced Max Mana restored from Normal Creatures from 15% → 10%.
• Reduced Max Mana restored from Elite Creatures from 60% → 40%.

New Effects & Rules

• Added a new rule where players are granted an additional 6 minutes before Broken Sanity activates upon eliminating the enemy team. This change prevents situations where the enemy is defeated just before Broken Sanity triggers, ensuring the victors have enough time to complete the Rift. This rule applies even if the boss has not yet spawned.
• Added a new effect inside Aether Rifts named Revanchism ー Each loss inside Aether Rifts increases the experience received from creatures inside the Rift by 10%. This bonus stacks up to 3 times, to a 30% bonus to experience gain.

With this we seek to provide those who are down on their luck a little boost to continue and keep trying to win, even after running into several losses in a row. After winning, the effect is removed.

Timed Windows

Added 3 timed windows for Aether Rifts, scheduled at different times. Each time slot is designed to allow players from different regions to participate in at least one window. The time slots are as follows (Pacific Time):

• 04:00AM - 06:00AM - 1v1 Open
• 06:00AM - 08:00AM - 2v2 Open
• 08:00AM - Rift is Closed
• 9:00AM - 11:00AM - 1v1 Open
• 11:00AM - 1:00PM - 2v2 Open
• 1:00PM - Rift is Closed
• 4:00PM - 6:00PM - 1v1 Open 
• 6:00PM - 8:00PM - 2v2 Open
• 8:00PM - Rift is Closed

Unstable Chest

We've revamped how Aether Rift rewards are granted by introducing the Unstable Chest. This item now stores all treasure items dropped by creatures inside the Rift, as well as rewards from the Aether Corruption chest.

• The Unstable Chest is obtained upon interacting with the Aether Corruption boss chest.
• Unstable Chest cannot be opened until the player is out of Aether Rifts.
• Unstable Chests are dropped and collected by an enemy player if you are defeated while carrying one, even if you won the chest in a previous Aether Rift level.
• Infusions remain unaffected and can still be obtained as usual from Aether Rift creatures.

This change enhances the risk versus reward dynamic—delving deeper no longer risks only your current level's rewards but also any previous victories you've accumulated.

Default Aether Rift Builds

To assist new players and those less familiar with PvP encounters, we are introducing 3 Aether Rift builds with already distributed points in order to allow for quick entry into Aether Rifts. Each build seeks to make room for a variety of fighting styles whether it's melee, ranged or magic that's your focus. To facilitate this, the Default builds selected are Dark Knight, Marshal and Loremaster. Each offering sustain and damage to be generally effective in a PvP environment.

These builds are not locked. The allocation of points can always be changed and will only apply to characters who have not yet unlocked Aether Rifts.
 

The Aether Echoes System has been revamped, featuring a series of changes with the aim of streamlining and improving the experience it offers. From changes to Aether Echo Scrolls to rewards, obtainment of Scrolls, rules for entry and an overhaul to the Aether Echo bosses across all difficulties. Aether Echoes will continue to evolve in future updates as we monitor engagement with the system and you feedback! Each one of these changes are detailed as follows:

New Aether Echoes Scrolls

Previously, there were individual scrolls for each specific Aether Echo Boss, making it a total of 10 different scrolls. These have been removed and reduced to only 4 scrolls of different rarity and difficulty, with each one of these granting access to all Aether Echo Bosses:

• Humming Aether Echoes Scroll — Summons a random Aether Echo Boss of easy difficulty.
• Resonating Aether Echoes Scroll — Summons a random Aether Echo Boss of medium difficulty.
• Brimming Aether Echoes Scroll — Summons a random Aether Echo Boss of hard difficulty.
• Overwhelming Aether Echoes Scroll — Summons a random Aether Echo Boss of madness difficulty.

What happens with the old Aether Echoes Scrolls in my inventory? Don’t worry, you can exchange your old scrolls for the new versions by talking with Lorekeeper Moira, found at the bridge leading to the Aether Echoes Arena in Ravencrest.

Aether Echo Scrolls Obtainment

The methods of obtaining Aether Echoes Scrolls were adjusted:

• Aether Echo Scrolls can no longer be obtained as part of the rewards from completing Aether Echoes.
• Aether Echo Scrolls can now be obtained as part of the rewards from Aether Stones, starting from Level 40.
• One Aether Echoes Scroll can be obtained after completing 3 Adventurer’s Board Tasks. Players with Patron will receive an extra scroll, for a total of 2 Aether Echoes Scrolls obtained through this method.
• Old Aether Echoes Scrolls were removed from Supplybags rewards and replaced by the new scrolls.
• Added the option to purchase Aether Echoes Scrolls of all difficulties from NPC Munk Quartermaster (Rangers Company). It is possible to buy up to 7 scrolls per day (the limit is shared between difficulties and resets at the daily reboot). Each Scroll costs 150 Bounty Marks and 5,000 silver.
   

To face an Aether Echo Boss, all party members — with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 participants — must have the same scroll in their Inventory. This means that if any party member does not have a scroll or has a scroll of a different difficulty than the others, they will not be able to face the boss at that moment.

Aether Echoes Rewards

The rewards for Aether Echoes have been adjusted to reflect changes to bosses and the removal of Aide reward tables. All players participating in a boss fight will receive the same rewards. The changes are as follows:

• Removed Aide rewards.
• Removed 1 random RavenCard as a reward across all difficulties.
• Reduced Augmenting Stones rewards by 1 across all difficulties.
• Reduced Binding Aether rewards by 1 in Hard and Madness difficulties.
• Increased Dawn Essence rewards:
  • Easy — Increased from 200 → 250.
  • Medium — Increased from 300 → 375.
  • Hard — Increased from 400 → 500.
  • Madness — Increased from 500 → 750.
• Adjusted Experience rewards:
  • Easy — Reduced by 34%.
  • Medium — Reduced by 21%.
  • Hard — Reduced by 12%.
  • Madness — Increased by 18%.
• Adjusted Infusion rewards:
  • Easy — Reduced from 240 → 170.
  • Medium — Reduced from 280 → 255.
  • Hard — Increased from 330 → 340.
  • Madness — Increased from 370 → 510.
• Reduced Silver rewards:
  • Easy  — Reduced by 70%.
  • Medium  — Reduced by 65%.
  • Hard  — Reduced by 60%.
  • Madness  — Reduced by 47%.

The main focus has been to increase the rewards, especially at higher difficulties in areas that other systems are not as impactful, while reducing rewards that are already easily accessible elsewhere.

Trade routes are as old as civilization itself, and while the entities that use them change often, once agreed upon, the routes themselves usually change little. This is because terrain human efforts are what builds a successful trade route. In Ravendawn, for a long time, engaging with Tradepacks and their delivery was lacking due to the fact that terrain, roads, shipping lanes were not respected when calculating the value of a Tradepack's delivery. It was only the raw distance in steps between your starting Tradepost and you destination that mattered.  

To correct course and make traveling trade routes a more immersive experience, we have remapped the entire network of routes between all Tradeposts, taking into account roads, ocean crossings, mountains, hostile creatures and other obstacles to calculate the distance between you and your destination.

In order to clearly show these changes we've also adjusted the Tradepack and Tradepost UIs. In your personal Tradepack UI, you will no longer see the distance between your character and other Tradeposts, however you will be able to see the true distance in steps between the Tradepost you are at and every other Tradepost while speaking with the Munk Merchant, giving you more clarity on the real distances involved in your planned journey.

Alongside the rework of trade routes to better align with shipping lanes and overland trade paths, Tradepack recipes have undergone a significant overhaul. All Tradepacks now feature adjustments to material quantities, increased silver values, and in some cases, new or swapped materials, as well as revised level unlocks.

While many material requirements have increased, the improved distance calculations and boosted silver profits aim to ensure that dedicated merchants are fairly rewarded for their efforts. Below is a comprehensive list of the changes:

The world of Ravendawn has always been rich with adventure, but now, it truly comes alive. With the Environmental Ambience update, we're releasing into the world a plethora of critters, insects and birds that will make every adventure more lively than ever. Owls taking flight at dusk, lizards basking in the midday sun, fireflies dancing through the night, and more. These fleeting moments aren't scripted encounters, but part of a dynamic world, where critters and insects roam, react, and go away on their own terms.

This system works seamlessly across different regions, times of day, and even underground, ensuring that no two journeys feel exactly the same. Some critters are more common, others rare, and sometimes, nature simply decides to remain still, awaiting to surprise you at the next turn.

This is just the beginning. As we continue to expand, more life will find its way into Ravendawn, making the world feel ever more vibrant and alive. So keep your eyes open, you never know what might be watching from the treetops or scurrying beneath your feet!

As we continuously look to existing systems and update them, certain aspects need to be entirely overhauled. During our investigation of the Gathering Professions, Husbandry in particular, we uncovered issues that were not readily apparent. Upon further investigation, the downstream effects of this were severely impacting the economy of the game in a negative manner.

In an effort to address this, we introduced significant changes to certain aspects of different professions. Every individual change would encompass this entire changelog so we stuck the broad strokes as many of the changes are internal and not actively visible in-game.

Woodcutting

• Reduced the minimum and maximum yields from all trees eligible for Woodcutting.
• Adjusted the experience gained from chopping trees.

Herbalism

• Increased the costs of planting Herbalism plants.
• Adjusted the experience gained from harvesting plants.
• Reduced the minimum and maximum yields from all plants eligible for Herbalism.

Farming

• Changed all experience yields from Farming produce except Potatoes.

Husbandry

• Changed how interactions work for Husbandry. After completing the 3 hours maturing phase, players will have the option to gather from the animal once and after a 1.5 hours cooldown a second time. Performing a gathering action will disable butchering. In order to butcher the animal instead of gathering from it, players must wait an additional 3 hours after maturing is done. This timer starts automatically unless a gathering action is performed.
• Gathering and butchering are mutually exclusive and cannot both be performed on one animal.
• Adjusted experience values for both butchering and gathering.
• Changed the timers for butchering, gathering and maturing.
• Increased the minimum and maximum yield of Cheese.

Cooking

• Cooking experience has been redesigned to have a proper progression in experience just like other professions.

Carpentry

• Recipe for base Planks (except Dense, Heavy and Glimmery) received an adjustment in the amount of logs required to adapt to the changes made in Woodcutting.

Weaving

• Just like in Carpentry, the materials required to craft Leather, Threads and Cloth were changed to reflect the latest changes in husbandry.

Alchemy

• Recipes from Alchemy had their ingredients and experience values changed to adapt to the changes in Herbalism. In addition to that, the new recipes should provide a smoother progression in the profession with less investment of resources.
  We will keep an closer look in Alchemy to make it provides a better value considering the investment and if needed will make more changes in the future

Experience Bonuses

To maintain consistency with other changes introduced in this update (such as those related to the Adventurer's Board), we will be removing Legacy Experience bonuses from Crafting and Gathering passives. Moving forward, all professions and the following Reputation passive experience bonuses will only affect profession Experience, rather than Legacy Level Experience:

• Crafting Proficiency I
• Crafting Proficiency II
• Gathering Proficiency I
• Gathering Proficiency II

Since the early days of Ravendawn, Moas have been an inseparable part of our world’s identity — loyal companions, useful mounts, and living symbols of the connection between players and this magical universe. While the Breeding profession has always held great potential, certain elements of the system haven’t lived up to their full potential, and at times it hasn’t felt as immersive or engaging as other activities in the game, such as exploring the open world for herbs or minerals.

With this major overhaul, we’re bringing new life to the Breeding profession. Our goal is to create a more engaging, rewarding, and sustainable experience that honors the central role of Moas in Ravendawn. All mechanics related to Breeding have been rethought, new items have been added, and innovative systems have been implemented to enrich your journey with these creatures. Additionally, we’ve made significant improvements to Stamina mechanics, introduced new stages for Moa development, and revamped the stables to make them more interactive.

And of course, we couldn’t forget the addition of baby Moas to melt hearts and fill your lands with cuteness and new possibilities!

Moa Rations

Let's examine the changes and additions to Moa related items starting with Moa Rations. These have changes perhaps the least and will still be mostly familiar, however the new Rations do not increase experience. They still increase Moa's statistics and restore Stamina, but the Stamina restored depends on the tier of the Moa:

• Moa Ration [T1] — Sold by Jebediah at the Ravencrest's Farms. Increases Speed by 5 and Strength by 4 for the next 5,000 steps. Restores 100% of the Moa's Stamina, if the moa consuming this is a higher tier than the ration, restores 2000 stamina instead.
• Superior Ration [T2] — Increases Speed by 8 and Strength by 6 for the next 7,500 steps. Restores 100% of the Moa's Stamina, if the moa consuming this is a higher tier than the ration, restores 4,000 stamina instead.
• Rustic Ration [T3] — Increases Speed by 12 and Strength by 8 for the next 10,000 steps. Restores 100% of the Moa's Stamina, if the moa consuming this is a higher tier than the ration, restores 6,500 stamina instead.
• Gourmet Ration [T4] — Increases Speed by 18 and Strength by 12 for the next 13,000 steps. Restores 100% of the Moa's Stamina, if the moa consuming this is a higher tier than the ration, restores 9,000 stamina instead.
• Seafood Extravaganza [T5] — Increases Speed by 23 and Strength by 16 for the next 16,000 steps. Restores 100% of the Moa's Stamina, if the moa consuming this is a higher tier than the ration, restores 12,000 stamina instead.
• Uncanny Ration [T6] — Increases Speed by 28 and Strength by 20 for the next 20,000 steps. Restores 100% of the Moa's Stamina, if the moa consuming this is a higher tier than the ration, restores 15,000 stamina instead.
• Moa's Delight [T7] — Increases Speed by 35 and Strength by 25 for the next 25,000 steps. Restores 100% of the Moa's Stamina, if the moa consuming this is a higher tier than the ration, restores 20,000 stamina instead.

All, with the exception of the first tier of Moa Ration, can be obtained through Cooking.

Moa Treats

Previously, these came from Supplybags and Open World Rewards, but now they will be obtained solely through Open World Rewards such as hidden chests in various areas around the world. They will also provide an increase to experience gain rather than flat amounts of experience to the Bond Level.

• Simple Moa Treat — Handful of common but very tasty treats loved by Moas. Increases experience received by the moa by 100% for the next 50,000 steps.
• Regular Moa Treats — Sack full of very tasty treats loved by Moas. Increases experience received by the moa by 150% for the next 50,000 steps.
• Superior Moa Treat — Carefully crafted and selected Moa treats bearing a superior taste. Increases experience received by the moa by 250% for the next 50,000 steps.
• Gourmet Moa Treat — Treats made by using very rare and tasteful ingredients, considered a delight to any Moa. Increases experience received by the moa by 500% for the next 50,000 steps.

Moa Remedies

Jebediah sells the Moa Remedy for Tier 1 Moas. However, if you want to start advanced Breeding, you will require the service of an Alchemist to brew the medicines that fragile, newly born Moas need at higher Tiers.

• Moa Remedy — Tier 1 Moa Breeding
• Superior Moa Remedy — Tier 2 Moa Breeding
• Rustic Moa Balm — Tier 3 Moa Breeding
• Refined Moa Treatment — Tier 4 Moa Breeding
• Strong Moa Panacea — Tier 5 Moa Breeding
• Mystical Moa Remedy — Tier 6 Moa Breeding
• Moa's Bliss — Tier 7 Moa Breeding

Increased prices in Jebediah's Moa related goods shop.

• Moa Ration — From 1,000 → 2,000 silver.
• Moa Remedy — From 1,500 → 3,500 silver.
• Female Moa — From 7,500 → 10,000 silver.
• Male Moa —  From 7,500 → 10,000 silver.

There is also the new Immunizer Base and Potent immunizer Base recipes that will be required for these remedies at different stages!

Neststrings

Staying on the subject of items, this is a new feature to Moa Breeding that is intended to bring greater ability to foster specific traits in your collection of Moas.

Neststrings are received upon releasing Moas and will replace Dawn Essence as one of the rewards available for releasing a Moa. Call it a token of gratitude from your freed Moa! If the Moa released is at least tier 2, Neststrings can save genetic information (colors, ornaments, light effects, abilities, traits) from your released Moa and be used in the hatching of new Moas to pass on desired traits.

Note that Neststrings must be used during the Hatching Phase to increase the chance of these characteristics being inherited. Higher tier Moas also provide Neststrings with higher chances of inheritance than lower tier Moas. Up to 5 Neststrings can be used during the Hatching Phase and there are no restrictions on Moa tier while hatching.

Added a total of 52 Neststring items to discover.

Breeding Passive

We are changing the Breeding Passive that previously reduced hatching time. Now, the upgrades will work in the following manner:

• Feeding a Moa during the Maturing Phase decreases its time by 30 minutes.
• Feeding a Moa during the Maturing Phase decreases its time by 90 minutes.

New Breeding Stable

Perhaps most exciting of all for those wishing to engage in Breeding seriously (and for those who love cute Moas) is the new Stable that we are adding to replace the old static asset. Rather than simply adding Moas and leaving them to do their business, we are increasing the size of the Stable, from 2x1 to 4x4, and will have Moas change their behaviour based on what stage of the Breeding process they are in:

• During the Mating Phase, Moas will be standing closely together inside the pen and performing their normal animations. Try to avoid staring at them too much during this intimate time.
• During the Hatching Phase, you will notice that the Moas have produced an egg, which they will watch over as good parents should and look to you for guidance in its development.
• During Maturing Phase, the egg will hatch and a brand new baby Moa will be born into the world with its own unique sound effects and animations.

With this more immersive approach, Breeders will be the talk of their region with the overflowing amounts of cuteness emanating from their lands!

For the old Stables, any ongoing Breeding will continue to conclusion, however they will afterwards be no longer possible to use for Breeding and will have to be replaced with the new version.
 

Breeding Experience

The experience gained from the Breeding process at each stage has been increased with the new larger asset in use to account for the additional space that it will now occupy on Land. The increase totals to almost 700% compared to the original!

Breeding Limits

The old system made it so that all Moas could be bred between 2-5 times. This creates a situation where Moas would inevitably become overproduced and inflate the market, driving the value of all Moas down. To combat this we're reducing the number of times a Moa can breed to 1-4 and adjusting the chances for new born Moas to be even between 1-3 breeding opportunities, but reducing the chance for 4 breeding opportunities to be available.

Legacy Level Requirements

Added minimum Legacy Level requirements to unlock different Moa tiers and updated the UI information shown when hovering over the Moa as an item. The following displays the Legacy Level required for each tier:

• Tier 1 — No Legacy Level required
• Tier 2 — Legacy Level 25
• Tier 3 — Legacy Level 40
• Tier 4 — Legacy Level 50
• Tier 5 — Legacy Level 60
• Tier 6 — Legacy Level 70
• Tier 7 — Legacy Level 80

Exceptional breeds require a certain level of experience and mastery to tame them!

Bonded Levels

Moa Bonding is one area we've considered to be underwhelming for some time now and offered many perks that were limited or become unusable at some point, for example benefits to offspring are generally pretty unnecessary for a Moa you use as your mount. The rework has now placed a greater focus on ensuring that all perks are useful to you and your Moa as you travel from adventure to adventure!

New Bonded Level Perks

• Level 1 — None.
• Level 2 — Increases Moa Speed by 6. Your Moa is now able to use Tier 1 Abilities it has.
• Level 3 — Increases Moa Strength by 6.
• Level 4 — Reduces the chance of being dismounted by 5%.
• Level 5 — Reduced the cooldown of Moa Abilities by 10%. Your Moa is now able to use Tier 2 Abilities it has.
• Level 6 — Increases Moa Speed by 8.
• Level 7 — Increases Moa Strength by 8.
• Level 8 — Reduces the cooldown of Moa Abilities by 20%. Your Moa is now able to use all Abilities it has.
• Level 9 — Increases Moa Speed by 10.
• Level 10 — Increases Moa Strength by 10.

We've also reduced the Bond Level progression from 20 to 10 Levels, however experience required remains the same. Any progress made towards Levels will be rolled over into the new progression so your progress will be safe.

Moa Stamina

Furthermore, we are changing how Moa Stamina is determined and introducing a new mechanic called "Exhaustion".

Moa Stamina is now determined by Weight and the ceiling for Stamina has been raised to a higher maximum than previously possible. The higher the Weight the most Stamina it will have.

Exhaustion is triggered when Stamina reaches 0 and this would reduce the Moa's speed, strength as well as make it unable to benefit from Moa Gear. Exhaustion comes in different severity dependent on the tier of the Moa.

• Tiers 1, 2 and 3 receive a 10% penalty to speed and strength.
• Tiers 4, 5 and 6 receive a 25% penalty to speed and strength.
• Tier 7 receives a 35% penalty to speed and strength.

So keep your Moas fed and happy!

Breeding Phases

As part of the overhaul to the profession, we've changed how the Breeding Phases function. Let's start with where life begins and go over the changes to the:

Mating Phase

• Reduced waiting time from 24 to 12 hours.

Moa Rations will be required for both Moas during the Mating Phase, and they will default to the highest-tier Moa for which the rations are valid. For example, if a Tier 3 and a Tier 5 Moa are mating, both will require 2 Tier 5 Moa Rations.

Hatching Phase

• Reduced waiting time from 24 to 12 hours.
• Changed completion of Maturing Phase to require the application of 1 Moa Remedy of the appropriate tier to complete the phase.
• Added option to apply Neststrings at any point during this phase so long as a Moa Remedy has not been applied.

Maturing Phase

• Changed from 6 interactions to a timer of 36 hours.
• Added a new interaction that allows the reduction of the Maturing Phase by 4 hours by offering a Moa Ration based on the highest tier of the parent Moa. This interaction has a 3 hour cooldown and can be used up to 3 times.
   

Misc

• Added a sound effect for when the Moa egg given to the player hatches.
• Added an interaction where the Moa is automatically equipped in the player's Mount slot upon hatching.
• Removed the NPC Marcus Goldfeather from the game.
   

Skill Points

Previously, players had access to an excessive number of skills because inactive Archetypes provided a significant amount of both Skill Points and Attribute Points. This allowed classes to become overly versatile, often fulfilling multiple roles simultaneously, such as tank, healer, DPS, and burst damage dealer.

It also created a situation where players can become quickly overwhelmed by the abundance of skills and end up not using most of them in active play, preferring a more controlled tighter rotation.

To address this, the system has been reworked to reduce some of this extra power by removing Attribute Points gained from inactive Archetypes. However, Skill Points from inactive Archetypes have been retained to ensure there is still a meaningful reward for leveling them.

These Skill Points now play a crucial role in upgrading existing skills, encouraging specialization and improving the effectiveness of selected abilities.

By reducing the overall number of skills while enhancing those that remain, this change aims to promote class specialization and create a more balanced and focused gameplay experience. We'll break down the changes to Skill Points below.

Due to this change in the skill tree and the rework of skill points, all player builds have been reset. When logging in again, don't forget to configure your builds according to your preferences before facing your opponents!
 

Inactive Attribute Points

• Players no longer receive Attribute Points from inactive Archetypes.
   

Skill Point Allocation Limit

• Players can now only use a maximum of 50 Skill Points for unlocking active and passive skills.
• Any Skill Points beyond this threshold must be used solely for upgrading unlocked skills.
   

Skill Upgrade System

• Each skill now has 3 upgrade tiers with progressively increasing costs.
   

Upgrade costs are standardized across skill tiers

• Tier 1: Costs 1/2/3 Skill Points (6 total).
• Tier 2: Costs 2/4/6 Skill Points (12 total).
• Tier 3: Costs 3/6/9 Skill Points (18 total).
• Tier 4: Costs 4/8/12 Skill Points (24 total).
• Tier 5: Costs 5/10/15 Skill Points (30 total)
   

RavenCard Rarity Improvement

• Skill upgrades increase the rarity of RavenCards equipped on the skill.
  • Upgrade 1: +1 RavenCard Rarity (total).
  • Upgrade 2: +2 RavenCard Rarity (total).
  • Upgrade 3: +3 RavenCard Rarity (total).
• Rarity bonuses allow RavenCards to exceed the current maximum rarity of 7.
   

Skill upgrades reduce the cooldown of the skill:

• Upgrade 1: 8% total cooldown reduction.
• Upgrade 2: 20% total cooldown reduction.
• Upgrade 3: 35% total cooldown reduction.

Passive Cost

Alongside the Skill Points squishing and the general Archetype Balance update (which you can find below), we are also adjusting the costs of Passives and how they are unlocked:

• Reduced the cost of Passives from 3 → 2.
• Reduced the required Skill Points spent to unlock a Passive from 5 → 3.

Melee Builds

We've increased the duration of the slow applied in PvP when melee damage is inflicted to 4 seconds. Additionally, dual-wielding melee builds will have the slow applied for 3 seconds instead, considering their higher attack speed. The slow's potency remains at 20%.

The new year brings exciting changes and fresh opportunities! In the spirit of renewal and transformation, we're rolling out a massive update to every Archetype in the game. Our primary goal is to create more room for new builds and strategies while also standardizing certain skills, balancing oppressive abilities, and uplifting those that have fallen behind.
 

The goal with Archery's rebalance was to improve the interactions between skills and RavenCards, creating a more dynamic and engaging gameplay experience. Additionally, we’ve adjusted and buffed passives to make them more appealing, opening up new build possibilities and encouraging diverse playstyles.

We identified that Bloodbath was overperforming, providing excessive sustain not only to its own archetype but also through interactions with others. This allowed players to sustain themselves without relying on external healing sources.

Previously, upgrading a house could cause issues if a chest or cosmetic decoration was placed in the same spot where the new stairs would appear. This could lead to the chest becoming stuck or requiring manual fixes. To prevent this, we've implemented the following changes:

• If stairs would appear on a tile occupied by a house chest, the chest will automatically move to the next available space. A system message will notify the player of this change.
• House decorations and cosmetics will be removed if they occupy the same space as the new stairs. Players will need to place them elsewhere, and a system message will inform them of any affected items.
• These adjustments ensure a smoother experience when upgrading your house!

• Removed the first instance of damage when Magic Runes are activated, reducing the total instances of damage from 7 → 6.
• Entering the event area now automatically synchs all players to the level of the Event.

Warmode Channel

For some time now we have seen the use of Warmode Channel enter into a slow decline after the Plunder Channel was introduced. This makes perfect sense as the benefits of Plunder significantly outweighed Warmode, however now it has begun to create a split in the player base making both Channels suffer as a result. For this reason and many others we are removing Warmode Channel from the game entirely. The existence of Warmode also forced Plunder to have bonuses significantly above the desired rate and so we're adjusting some of these accordingly.

• Removed Warmode Channel.
• Adjusted Plunder Channel bonuses:
  • Added Infusion drop rate of +15%.
  • Reduced Tradepack value from 25% → 20%.
  • Reduced Experience and Loot from 25% → 15%.
  • Reduced Fish caught Silver and Materials from 25% → 20%.
• The time to swap channels was reduced from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.

Death Debt

Dying has a cost and it has always been designed to scale according to player level so that lower level players are not paying the same prices as high level players, however this cost is low when compared to the silver generation of high level players. With the change we are bringing with this update, the aim is to increase the silver costs overall when it comes to Death Debt, with a focus on the higher levels.

• Increased the silver cost by 4x.

This means that the higher the level of the player, the greater the Death Debt cost becomes.

Supplybag Changes

Originally, Supplybags were intended as a bonus reward for creature hunting that would provide additional Silver as well as other useful item rewards. In the end, the acquisition of Supplybags was expanded to include virtually all sources of experience and it drifted further and farther away from the original goal we had in mind as new systems like Aether Rifts, Aether Echoes and others were introduced. Furthermore they inflated Silver generation from Lands as the costs of planting were not only offset by the value of crops, but also by Supplybags generating even more Silver.

With the goal of returning to the original mission of Supplybags, we are removing the chance to obtain them from all systems except hunting creatures in the Open World.

Potions

For a long time now, the prices of Health and Mana potions sold by vendors, especially high level potions, were too cheap. This was fine before the addition of Alchemy as a profession, however keeping the prices as they are now creates unnecessary pressure on those who produce potions. In the interest of creating more breathing room for player crafted potions as well as pricing these late game items more appropriately, we are increasing the costs of all potions starting from the 4th tier. The first 3 tiers of potions remain the same price as always to not adversely impact early game progression. The changes in prices are as follows:

• Diluted Major Health Potion — From 400 → 800.
• Diluted Major Mana Potion — From 400 → 800.
• Diluted Supreme Health Potion — From 700 → 2,800.
• Diluted Supreme Mana Potion — From 700 → 2,800
• Diluted Eternal Health Potion — From 1,000 → 6,000.
• Diluted Eternal Mana Potion — From 1,000 → 6,000.
• Diluted Transcendent Health Potion — From 1,300 → 10,400.
• Diluted Transcendent Mana Potion — From 1,300 → 10,400.

Husbandry

• Reduced the chance to receive Fertilizer between 31% - 73%, depending on the animal.

Creature Drops Balancing

Due to the additions of new creatures (Update 2.0.3) and changes in item usage, we're making some slight adjustments to the drop rates and values of items dropped by creatures as well as adding new items to facilitate greater potential earning from creatures as well as obtainment of Legendary Ring fragments.

Firstly, nearly 200 silver generating items dropped from creatures had their drop rates adjusted. In many cases, either the drop rate was slightly increased or the value of the items themselves. Particular focus was placed on stronger creatures to provide better overall value from hunting them.

Removed the following items from the drop table of their associated creature:

• Deep Sea Bladder — Vampire Squid
