Hello, Dragon Hunters,
Since the start of Early Access, we've been putting a significant amount of effort into improving itemization and specifically its flexibility, a core part of the gameplay experience that we know many of you have been eagerly awaiting.
The Nurõrgartt update introduces 5 new services to unlock in the City of Montescail, along with an entirely new storage system: the Fragment Chest.
These additions will give you greater flexibility and control when building your loadouts.
To sum up, here what you can expect:
- The Enchanter
- The Memorialist
- The Grand Benedictor
- The Artificer
- The Arsenal
- The Fragment Chest
We are resetting City Points!
With the launch of these new features, we’ve decided to reset city points, allowing players to redistribute them freely.
This reset is also a great opportunity to fix any mistakes or experiment with a different upgrade path than the one previously selected.
Please note:
This reset is not a feature, but a one-time adjustment made specifically for the introduction of the new functionalities.
This reset does not include the Abbey, the jailer, the Order, and the Pythia.
Without further ado, let’s deep dive into what’s coming.
The Enchanter
This new service allows you to modify one of the affixes on a piece of equipment or a “modifier” type hexagon on an ancestral fragment.
The Enchanter will reroll the selected affix or modifier, changing both its type and values.
After the first modification, the other affixes or hexagons will be locked, and only the enchanted affix or modifier can be rerolled again.
Please note:
- Rerolling a Divine affix or hexagon is guaranteed to retain the affix.
- Draconic affixes cannot be modified/reroll.
- You have unlimited attempts, but each reroll increases the cost.
The Memorialist
Visiting the Memorialist allows you to permanently inscribe the bonus effect of a skill modifier, taken from a sacrificed skill fragment, onto a piece of equipment.
If a fragment contains multiple modifiers, the Memorialist will randomly select one from those present in the fragment.
The equipment then gains this bonus modifier for the associated skill, as long as it is equipped.
This allows you to benefit from a character or wyrmling skill modifier without having to place the fragment into the ancestral grid.
The Grand Benedictor (anciently known as the Master of Scales)
That new service enables you to manage your Codex of Talents and Skill Modifiers.
By sacrificing legendary and mythic items, as well as fragments of any rarity, you can permanently record bonuses within your Codex.
As your Codex fills up, you'll be able to select one talent and two modifiers from the skill of your choice.
Artificer
That new service allows the transfer of draconic attributes from one piece of equipment to another.
Please note:
- This process sacrifices the original piece of equipment.
- You can only transfer Draconic affixes to a piece of equipment of the same type.
- This is the only way to obtain a Mythical Divine Draconic item, as Mythical items do not drop with the Draconic affixes.
The Arsenal
This new feature allows you to save up to 4 build presets.
You can save your Equipment, including your currently equipped Wyrmling and its armor, but also your Attributes, the Grand Benedictor, and most importantly, your Ancestral Grid!
This new Service should let you experiment freely with different builds without the hassle or fear of losing your layouts.
Fragment Chest
Many players have expressed frustration over the limited storage space for Fragments and we've heard you! That’s why, in the upcoming update we introduce the Fragment chest!
You’ll now find several Fragment chests scattered throughout the city, right alongside the familiar Equipment chest.
Additionally, we're also adding another kind of chest type that provides quick access to the Arsenal.
That’s it, for now!
This wraps up our DevBlog on the upcoming City features.
We can’t wait for you to experience all these new Services!
As always, we’re eager to hear your thoughts on everything. You can expect more changes and adjustments throughout Early Access, as we hear your feedback on things.
If you want to have your say or keep up with all our news and updates, feel free to join our Discord or visit the Steam discussions! We do our best to reply to everyone and answer any questions you may have.
