Major Update #1 | The Nightling invasion

Take on the Nightlings and the Crimson Rams in the first major content update for Farever. The game is also currently available at 20% off its original price ! This update features new world events, the Rifts, and a new region. This update allows you to level up to 25 and discover new weapons to try out!

New Events - The Rifts

Face the Nightlings in their own realms by taking part in the first of many world events: the Rifts!

Every hour, a nightling rift open in Skover or the Valley of the Eternal Autumn. It's up to you to enter the rifts and kicks the nightling before the reach Siagarta. In the rift, a group of a dozen players (you included) can fight against nighlings and nightlords coming from multiple gates. You win by beating those foes and closing said gates until their boss comes in. The more gates you close, the better the reward will be!

Depending on how well you did in closing the Nightling gates, you'll have more unique currency that can be used with a new NPC: The Demon Hunter. With that currency, you can buy new unique set of gears, weapons, spark crystals and brand new demonic upgrades

New Region - The City of Ramburg

You now have access to the stronghold of the Crimson Rams: the city of Ramburg. This region hides many secrets that you can uncover by exploring it and facing its master, the High Inquisitor Chakram.

In Ramburg, you will find many new activities, as well as two instances: There are the Crimson Barracks and the boss fight against Chakram itself! You can also collect new secret orbs and make new friends while exploring the Crimson Cathedral and the lower city.

And a lot more!

Many of you provided valuable feedback during the Playable Preview, which helped to shape the Rifts we see today. Thank you for taking part!

We hope you enjoy this new feature and the change of pace it brings to the current game loop. We’ll continue to add more experiences like this alongside new content and performance improvements as we work towards version 1.0.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll focus on hotfixes before moving on to our next update and adding more difficulty to the current dungeons. We’re also working on requested features such as better location tools (e.g. a compass) and more social and communication features, which will be added later this year!
