Hey everyone! I wanted to share some details about new epic loot coming in Northern Kingdoms update and give overall more info about it.
First of, here is a preview of new environments coming in the update, if you havent seen it yet:
Living weapons
The biggest part of the new loot are new Living Weapons. The idea behind them is that they evolve over time, by getting experience from killing enemies and completing different challenges. Each weapon has 3 stages, and after evolving to the next stage, it will change it's appearance, improve stats and improve a unique mechanic, that is tied to it.
There are about two dozens of different weapons, that you will be able to choose from, and they cover most of the playstyles in the game. You will be able to earn your first weapon quite easily, and you will be able to earn additional weapons, by completing challenges in the region.
Jewelry sets
One thing that was lacking before in epic equipment was jewelry. You had a few epic jewelry pieces as reward for epic faction quests, but that was about it. Now, you will be able to get a bunch of new jewelry sets in Northern Kingdoms.
Jewelry set consists of necklace, two rings and a trinket. Unlike armor sets, you will be able to combine different sets. For example:
Here you have 2 different necromancer jewelty sets. Both of them give 200% dark damage bonus for 2 pieces, one is basically making your skeletons into active damaging ability, by allowing you to spam explosive skeletons who instantly explode, which is really fun. The second one gives you an option to run around with bone serpent all the time, and having a bunch of free mana pool. Or, you can just combine 2 pieces from one set and 2 pieces from another and get +400% dark magic bonus.
There are two dozen sets coming with 60 different items, so there will be plenty to choose from.
New armor sets
Other than that, I've prepared a few new epic tiers, that give even more options for different playstyles, things like frost mage, stealth archer, archer with companions, spear-oriented warrior etc.
How would you be able to get all this cool stuff?
All over the Northern Kingdoms there will be different challenges that will reward you with this stuff. These challenges will have an option for increased challenge and better loot, so they will still be challenging even for experienced players.
Other than that, there will be much more in the update: New crafts (yes, quivers with infinte arrows are coming), new pets to collect, new quests to complete, abilities and balance changes and much much more.
But when is this all coming out?
I am on track to complete the update in May. I would also require a short period of testing for it, so it might come out at first half of June at worst. Hopefully it will work out, and I'm really excited for you guys to try it out.
Thank you for your support!
