The Age of Brave

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

Beyond hotfixes, our primary focus will be on rebalancing. We've already begun actively gathering community feedback, with the main priority being a reassessment of the current attack/defense imbalance. While we continue collecting input on how best to address this, we're considering several options:

• 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);

• Reverting penalties on enchantments—particularly forced ones—to their former values, where enchantments more heavily penalize the opposite stat;

• Gradually restoring previous secondary stat requirements for small armor sets and jewelry;

• Introducing passive effects tied to damage types and weapon classes (bleed, armor penetration, stun, etc.);

Join the ongoing balance discussions—and share your thoughts on the new changes in this patch!

The Island of the Brave

The Island of the Brave is a location offering unique rewards and challenges for experienced players with level 60 characters.

• Rewards:

  • Stat rings—featuring bonuses to Health, Mana, Energy, Physical Attack, Physical Defense, Magical Attack, and Magical Defense—which can also be enchanted;

  • Rings are assembled from fragments dropped as rewards for defeating enemies on the island;

  • Rings come in five tiers: the first tier is crafted from fragments, while subsequent tiers are obtained by merging rings of the previous tier.

• Restrictions:

  • Leaving the village on the island requires the active "Adventure" effect, obtained by activating a "Ticket" item;

  • Tickets come in three tiers: T1 grants 1 hour of effect duration, T2 — 6 hours, T3 — 12 hours;

  • Each day, players receive 30 minutes of free island time, which is consumed first before ticket duration is used;

• Challenges:

  • 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;

  • 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;

  • The island teems with dangerous enemies—one wrong step can easily lead to a swift demise;

• The location:

  • The Island of the Brave is a reworked version of Stream Island—familiar to many as the old tutorial area.

  • The entire island is covered in a vibrant, rain-drenched tropical rainforest biome;

• Enemies and Boss Mechanics:

  • Main boss — Tropical Leshy:

    • Unlike conventional bosses, the Leshy can spawn anywhere on the island and freely roams its entire perimeter;

    • 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;

    • He features unique mechanics and never returns to a spawn point under any circumstances;

  • Miniboss:

    • Battle Frog — a master of martial arts whose skills would make many warriors of Dwarrhan envious;

  • Regular Enemies:

    • Tropical Stickman — a small, elusive kamikaze (no nameplate) that explodes near its target;

    • Tropical Menada— far more dynamic than her Dwarrhan counterpart

    • Tropical Spider — faster and more aggressive than its mainland relatives;

  • All enemies on the island drop personal loot that cannot be stolen by other players.
