New Guild System

• Guild leveling system has been implemented! From now on, guild members can help their guild to gain new levels, starting from level 1 and up to a maximum level of 100. Leveling speed depends on teamwork and cooperation of guild members. Each level-up provides certain advantages to guild members.

For guilds established before this change, guild leader must buy a War Brotherhood Talisman for in-game gold from Guild Master of their faction and use it in order to gain access to new functions. After that, guild leader gains the ability to grant any guild member with a right to buy special guild tabard from Guild Master. At guild level 1, only a single guild member can be granted such right, but as the guild develops, the limit increases. Guild tabard increases all character stats and provide other bonuses. As a guild gains level 15, Heraldic Signs unlock that can be placed on the tabards. Guild leader must buy a Heraldic License from Guild Master or from the Item Shop to apply Heraldic Sign on the tabard of their guild. Players contribute to the development of their guild by completing new special daily and repeatable quests, killing bosses in heroic instances and raids, participating in Arena of Death and Melting Isle events.

Guild masters are Oleg Shpilev in Novograd (The League) and Semer Khendjer in Nezebgrad (The Empire).

Astral Confrontation

• Upon reaching level 10, a guild becomes eligible to participate in an Astral Confrontation PvP event that involves capturing neutral Allods and assaulting Allods controlled by other guilds. Holding an Allod grants a number of benefits to a guild. Each round of the event lasts one week. Guilds use auction mechanics to compete with each other over the right to attack a certain Allod. You must be a Leader or Officer of your guild to make bids. If a guild won an auction, a raid group formed by its members is allowed to assault the Allod. A group must disembark on an Allod at a prearranged time slot. Players fight for protected waypoints using their class abilities. Winning in combat requires both teamwork and personal skills.

June Catacombs

• June Catacombs - a new PvP location for level 40+ players is available. This instance is an ancient maze complex with twisty passages and hallways, where players are allowed to attack each other even if they belong to the same faction, unless they are grouped together. The layout of the maze is constantly changing, but its structure remains the same and can be represented as three concentric circles. Upon entering the Catacombs, players are teleported to a random point in the outer circle. Those treasure hunters who manage to get to the middle circle will have to fight two bosses, and the most persistent ones will be able to enter the inner circle and challenge the main boss of the Catacombs – Giant Golem. June Catacombs can only be entered once a day, between 7:00 and 7:30 pm. You can use a Ticket to June Catacombs sold from the Item Shop to teleport into the instance from any location.

Melting Isle

• The Melting Isle, a new location for free-for-all PvP, has been introduced. The whole isle, except for faction camps, is a battleground. Both hostile and friendly faction characters can be attacked. The isle itself is inhabited by Elementals of level 41 to 42.

Main events take place from 3 pm to 2 am. During this period every player on the isle has a chance to find a treasure on one of the Thawed Patches. There are two types of treasures: Smaller and Greater ones, and rewards inside of each vary accordingly. Greater treasure is rare, and players are notified in advance of 5 minutes of its appearance. One must open the treasure to loot it, but the process of opening takes a while and interrupts on taking damage. At 10:00 pm, Global Warming takes effect on the whole isle, and treasures start to appear on all Thawed Patches at once. All players on the isle are notified on the start of this event. If there are at least 20 characters on the isle, a Greater treasure is guaranteed to spawn. Depending on the treasure size, thawing can last 1 to 5 minutes.

Talk to Spirit of Peace on Gipat Shard and accept the quest to travel to the Melting Isle.

Last Battle at the Gorluxor’s Tower

• Continue your search for the truth to save Sarnaut and its citizens. The mystery you are about to discover will change your perception of this world!

The Master… True leader behind cultists and demons. Rumors are that his power is incomprehensible. He was the one to grant immortality to Gorluxor who had been defeated numerous times before. He resurrected Armando de Doucer and raised Strina the Fierce to power. The Master is as strong as Tensess or maybe even stronger.

You will have to overcome many obstacles and defeat dangerous enemies to fight the Master. The Battle with the Master is your new challenge. Its outcome is unpredictable as Master’s abilities are unknown. Normal combat tactics will not bring you any luck. You will have to find new ways to defeat the master of demons and the leader of cultists. Fate of Sarnaut is in your hands. Be brave and strong! Good luck!

Marriage

Two citizens of Sarnaut can now contract a marriage, as long as they are of different sexes and belong to the same faction. The couple needs wedding rings, wedding costumes and 10 gold to arrange the wedding ceremony which will be held in Municipality of Nezebgrad or in the Church of Light in Novograd.
