Daily Quest Update
The Daily Quest encounters offer a difficulty option and the ability to purchase mercenaries upon entering. Difficulty can make the encounter easier or harder and the experience, drops, NPCs are scaled down or up depending on the setting.
Vladimir's Franchise
Vladimir sold it to his children, who franchised the business. You can purchase mercenaries that are matched to your level in any town with a seeker. They will stay with you until they die. They take a small % of gold from your adventuring but can make a big difference in your success.
Level Cap Raised
The level cap has been raised. The hard cap is now 200. Initially, a soft cap of 120 is being enforced to allow for some balancing. Starting at level 105, one additional orb is granted for every 10 levels.
Tamed Followers
Leadership is gained per day and the tamed followers will level up over time as you adventure with them if you can keep them alive.
Weapon Rebalance / Equal Weapon Rights
All melee weapons are now viable from a DPS standpoint. Melee weapons such as a sword, an axe, vs a mace, etc.. should all be comparable to damage ranges at levels. This will allow personal preference to factor into which weapon you choose to arm. Additionally, ranged weapons received a significant boost (along with DPS consistency at level ranges), making them much more enjoyable and viable for leveling and high-level encounters. This change applies to all static weapons and all Fabrial Weapons.
