Updates on Snowy Island:

Some monsters have relocated their lairs.
Certain monsters and bosses have enhanced skills, some abilities now deal damage to the entire team.
The skill "Underground Creature" has been removed from bosses.
The new rule limits boss attacks to 10 players. If the number of players exceeds this limit, 10 will be randomly chosen to fight, and the rest will be moved to nearby tiles.
The loot drops for certain monsters have been updated:
Defeating a Forest Demon will yield mithril ore.
Among the Ice Knight's trophies, you'll find adamantine ore.
The Snow Golem now drops titanium ore.
Victory over a Frost Lizard grants chrome ore.
Besting a Boar will reward you with tungsten ore.
The newly deployed scout squads have reached Snowy Island, driving out the crazed warriors and taking over the frozen lands. On your journey, you may now encounter a fresh foe — the Cryomancer!
You can battle up to 5 Cryomancers daily. If you’re defeated, you’ll have 2 hours to return and face the experienced warrior again. After this time limit or upon victory, the Cryomancer will only appear the following day.
Defeating the fierce warriors will grant you loot similar to that of other Snowy Island opponents.
To complete the daily “Hot Blood” quest and gather the required elements for the “Snow Conqueror" assignment, you’ll need to secure 3 victories against Cryomancers.
By defeating brave warriors and cryomancers in the Snowy Island territory you have a chance to get one of the cards - Freez, Northerner, Polar explorer, Barbarian and Hyperborean. The full set of cards is assembled into a Normal Cryomancer Joker, which allows you to summon this warrior to battle once every 2 days. Two normal jokers with the help of a card box are collected in the Enchanted Joker, which allows you to call a warrior to battle once a day, and collecting a Legendary Joker you can call a warrior to battle up to 5 times a day. If needed, three identical cards can be exchanged for one random card or acquired through the Cryomancer Ghost Card, which has been added to the Ghost Box.
