Feature: Books/LibraRY

A new extension called Books has been added! Books will be discoverable in events going forward, bringing back a long lost feature we once had during Voyage of the Wardens, where you can find lore! This allows to create volumes and books, expanding the world and story of souls even further!

Feature: Player Guide

We have released our player guide in a work in progress state. We have seen a lot of new players join us and we wanted to give some kind of guide for those coming in to know what they are doing and have some kind of startering point. We are working on this when we can inbetween things for the new event coming! 

LK Site Update

The site has been updated to the most recent version of LK. 

Feature: All Starters now have Designs

A big thankyou to Dragonight, OwIIette and everyone else who has helped us design our starters who have been missing designs! We now have every single starter designed! 

Navigation Bar updates

• Removed various duplicate links that were better suited in one location over another (looking at you guides and duplicated dungeon link)
• Moved Various links from the player drop down to the submit drop down such as viewing your current surrender queue.
• Listed all guides whether done or not in the codex drop down from guides
• Organized some links that previously went no where so they go to the main page instead (like clicking shops for example)
• Overall just a lot of little clean up of terminology to hopefully make things make a little more sense!

Feature: Stat System Fleshed Out

The stat system has rolled out in it's first wave where we are focusing on updating characters and ensuring stats are in a good place with dungeons before we begin our clean up of our combat system for a few tweaks it needs. Characters now get stat points from leveling, however we intend to include stat points in specific one time per character prompts, and in loot drops! 

Three new stats were added: Bleed, luck, and Charisma. 

Bleed is your bleed stats when you do attacks. This stat does not currently work in Dungeons. 
Luck is your chance to bring back an extra item in any activity with a roller (not a loot table in a prompt). Luck also increases your chance to Escape in a dungeon and your speed overall in combat.
Charisma is a catch all stat, used for special scenarios on different activities. 

Defense, Health, and Attack remain the same.

With this in mind, we do need to go back in and take a look at our activities and how specific bonuses change or alter your rewards! This will be done later on as we are currently full steam ahead on the last part of this news post! 

Stat point can be applied by going to the character and selecting "level up" for the stat you wish to apply a point to! You will need one of the new items to set your current stat to the total as staff will not do this for you.

New Items and Item Updates

We have added a few new items to assist with the stat system. Some of you may have noticed when submitting these claims or even getting your health set, you were handed some of these items! 

• Matcha boba tea: heals your character for 1000 points.
• Apple boba tea: sets your current attack stat to match your total attack stat.
• Strawberry Boba tea: sets your current bleed stat to match your total bleed stat. 
• Oolong Boba tea: sets your current defense stat to match your total defense stat.
• Lemon boba tea: sets your current charisma stat to match your total charisma stat.
• Mango Boba tea: sets your current luck to match your total luck stat. 

In the feature we are looking at skills or things that might LOWER your current defense, attack, etc. For now, aside from the matcha tea, these items are mostly useful for when you update a stat with a point! 

Revival feather now heals for 100% health.

 

Dungeon Updates

Dungeons have received a few updates and we are still tweaking the system so you may see some changes based on player feedback and other balancing necessities. 

• all dungeon monsters received updated loot to be a bit more uniform and rewarding. 
• Monsters now have stats inline with the stat system changes. 
• Monster attacks were adjusted to be more forgiving against players so they werent too hard, since you cannot use items in the dungeons.
• All monsters given weight class with adjustments.
• Default stats on all characters were set to Low weight class. Ensure you submit a claim to get your stats corrected, 5 characters per claim please! 

Feature: Healing ITems

Certain items can now be used to heal your character without needing to submit a prompt! What does this mean for the player base? No more submitting a prompt or including an item in your prompts to heal your characters! You can now heal a character whenever, however note that the item will only heal to the max amount of your total health, and if you have full health the item is still used up. So be careful when using this feature as you will not be reimbursed your items! 

What about Art/Lit submissions for healing? These are still handled as normal, however you will be granted an item for the prompt, either a Boba Tea to match what you are healing (as it can be used to set your current stat to equal the total stat) or to heal a status condition. This update will roll out to the prompt itself in the next few days and will have a more in depth detail on how this will work.

Design updates 

We made a few updates to our design guides and items. 

• Clarified information on design upload/update guide to better clarify what items can be used where and when. 
• Added rule on the design upload/update guide on what updates can happen on an advent! 
• Recessive Lustrous appears in 3 zones now instead of 2.

Feature: Search by Markings in the Masterlists!

You can now search in the character and genotype masterlists for specific markings and their genotype code! This is a long awaited feature but I am sure everyone is super excited to have it now as it will make finding specific characters or genos with markings a much more pleasant experience.
