Big update!
- dungeons!
dungeons are late game areas that are actually a collection of multiple areas, they are quite big compared to the rest of the game. inside dungeons you can't teleport and you won't heal, so be sure to prepare before entering. moving around in dungeons requires using the commands 'go north', 'go south', 'go west', 'go east' and 'take stairs'.
it is ill-advised to go alone.
- party system!
you can now form a party together with other players! when in a party, you'll split experience gained from defeating enemies as long as you're in the same area. defeating enemies will also level up your 'party level'. higher party levels will unlock more slots for party members and increase experience gained from enemies!
- reforging/upgrading weapons and armor!
there is a cottage in the plains where you can learn how to reforge equipment.
reforging makes equipment stronger! you can reforge an items 5 times, but you need power stones to do it.
the first upgrade is always a guaranteed success. after that, the chance is 80 -20% for each upgrade level and you can increase the chance with 1% for each power stone used.
power stones can be dropped by any enemy. the droprate depends on your level compared to the enemy's level. chances and drop amount are better for boss enemies.
- prestiging!
in-game it is called 'rebirths'.
when you're lvl100 there is a place where you can go to reset all your progress and start over anew. this process is called 'rebirth'. with every rebirth you gain 10 extra stat points and a star in your profile.
accounts with rebirths will be placed higher on the billboard!
when rebirthing you will lose equipped items (and keep items in your inventory), so be sure to go in naked.
- offhand equipment!
mainly shields and tomes.
this also means some weapons are now two-handed and some weapons are one-handed.
you can only equip offhand items together with one-handed weapons.
- new areas, enemies, items, NPCs, quests, commands, etc.
