The Age of Brave

Friends, this major update introduces several new mechanics and locations—but first, a word on our immediate plans.

• [p align="justify"]Reverting armor bonus/malus values to their previous RD-era state—i.e., the more Physical Defense (PD) an armor piece grants, the greater the penalty to Magical Defense (MD);

• [p align="justify"]Reverting penalties on enchantments—particularly forced ones—to their former values, where enchantments more heavily penalize the opposite stat;

• [p align="justify"]Gradually restoring previous secondary stat requirements for small armor sets and jewelry;

• [p align="justify"]Introducing passive effects tied to damage types and weapon classes (bleed, armor penetration, stun, etc.);

• [p align="justify"]All CIS accounts receive 7 days of titles (Chevalier and Merchant); 

• [p align="justify"]Castle owners, guilds, and their members are rolled back to 04:00 MSK, March 19, 2026;

• [p align="justify"]Level 15/45/75 castles will remain occupied until approximately 21:00 MSK, March 25, 2026;

• [p align="justify"]Level 30/60/90 castles will remain occupied until approximately 21:00 MSK, March 26, 2026;

The Island of the Brave

• [p align="justify"]Rewards:
  • [p align="justify"]Stat rings—featuring bonuses to Health, Mana, Energy, Physical Attack, Physical Defense, Magical Attack, and Magical Defense—which can also be enchanted;

  • [p align="justify"]Rings are assembled from fragments dropped as rewards for defeating enemies on the island;

  • [p align="justify"]Rings come in five tiers: the first tier is crafted from fragments, while subsequent tiers are obtained by merging rings of the previous tier.

• [p align="justify"]Restrictions:
  • [p align="justify"]Leaving the village on the island requires the active "Adventure" effect, obtained by activating a "Ticket" item;

  • [p align="justify"]Tickets come in three tiers: T1 grants 1 hour of effect duration, T2 — 6 hours, T3 — 12 hours;

  • [p align="justify"]Each day, players receive 30 minutes of free island time, which is consumed first before ticket duration is used;

• [p align="justify"]Challenges:
  • [p align="justify"]Any death on the island reduces the "Ticket" effect duration by 30 minutes. A ticket fragment also drops from the fallen player, which can be sold or combined with other fragments to craft a full ticket;

  • [p align="justify"]The island's harsh tropical atmosphere takes a toll on equipment, accelerating wear at 10 times the normal rate, with an additional 1% durability loss upon death;

  • [p align="justify"]The island teems with dangerous enemies—one wrong step can easily lead to a swift demise;

• [p align="justify"]The location:
  • [p align="justify"]The Island of the Brave is a reworked version of Stream Island—familiar to many as the old tutorial area.

  • [p align="justify"]The entire island is covered in a vibrant, rain-drenched tropical rainforest biome;

• [p align="justify"]Enemies and Boss Mechanics:
  • [p align="justify"]Main boss — Tropical Leshy:
    • [p align="justify"]Unlike conventional bosses, the Leshy can spawn anywhere on the island and freely roams its entire perimeter;

    • [p align="justify"]Respawn time is 24 hours—but defeating enemies across the island accelerates his return. The stronger the foe, the more it reduces the time until the Leshy reappears;

    • [p align="justify"]He features unique mechanics and never returns to a spawn point under any circumstances;

  • [p align="justify"]Miniboss:
    • [p align="justify"]Battle Frog — a master of martial arts whose skills would make many warriors of Dwarrhan envious;

  • [p align="justify"]Regular Enemies: 
    • [p align="justify"]Tropical Stickman — a small, elusive kamikaze (no nameplate) that explodes near its target;

    • [p align="justify"]Tropical Menada— far more dynamic than her Dwarrhan counterpart

    • [p align="justify"]Tropical Spider — faster and more aggressive than its mainland relatives;

  • [p align="justify"]All enemies on the island drop personal loot that cannot be stolen by other players. However, to qualify for the loot, you must deal a minimum amount of damage before the kill: 51% for regular mobs, 15% for the Battle Frog, 8% for the Leshy;

The Eternal Siege — Maenboff castle and Castle Taxes

The county castle of Maenboff County stands in the scorched valley and will operate under an "Eternal Siege" mechanic.

Castle Characteristics:

• T4, Level 250;

• Guards of level 60;

• Castle and fort gates comparable to level 90 gates;

• Forts burn down in 30 seconds;

• Only external local teleport points for both attackers and defenders;

Castle phases:

• Red — 60 minutes of real time;

• Blue — 15 minutes;

• White — absent; the castle automatically transitions from Red to Blue;

• The timer for any phase is now displayed not only on the map but also directly on the castle;

Reward #1 Participation Rewards:

We're opening their contents up for community discussion, considering various options (all containing guaranteed "Bloody Coins" and a chance at rare rewards);

• Castle owners at the time of occupation — "Owner" Chest;

• 51+ kills — "Glass Cannon" Chest;

• 25–50 kills — "Seasoned Fighter" Chest;

• 11–25 kills — "Fighter" Chest;

• 1–10 kills — "Participation" Chest;

Chest distribution is scheduled to begin on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

Reward #2 Taxes:

• All NPC trade taxes are now distributed among castles (proportionally to their levels, with an additional ×2 multiplier for county castles);

• Since Maenboff is level 250 and a county castle, it receives 40%+ of all collected taxes;

• Taxes accumulated in Maenboff castle are transferred to the treasury at the start of the Blue phase; in other castles, as before, on the last day of the game month;

Teleportation System 2.0

A complete overhaul of the teleportation system:

• Teleportation is now performed via the world map interface

• You can teleport from any location—but only to existing destinations (settlements, castles, yellow and blue teleport points);

• Teleportation time:

  • From a teleport point — instant

  • Yellow and Orange karma zones — 10 seconds

  • Black zone — 20 seconds

• Teleportation cost:

  • Teleporting consumes tokens of a specific color;

  • Price depends on distance, departure point, and character load;

  • Departing from a teleport point — lowest cost;

  • Departing from anywhere on the surface — higher cost;

  • With cargo — even higher cost;

• All restrictions on teleporting with previously prohibited items have been removed;

• Teleportation now uses universal tokens differentiated only by familiar colors (green, red, yellow, and blue). Separate tokens apply in specific locations (Fazira and the Island of the Brave);

• Token vendors will be adapted to the new system in upcoming patches

Changes

• Parcels can no longer be sold at the auction;

• Crafting quests — all now have equal spawn chances, maximum level set to 60;

• Crafting quests — appearance probability doubled;

• Water readiness status changed to "Ready";

Fixes

• Увеличен радиус отображения метки ваших останков (места гибели) на карте, а также исправлена ее отображение на компасе;

• Уровни замковых эликсиров, эликсиров усиления;

In-Game Store

• [p align="justify"]Tickets;

• [p align="justify"]Armor Oil that decreases armor wear rate;

• [p align="justify"]Elixir of Luck that increases chances of item drops in the individual drop;
