New Crab City
The big city is here and better than ever! Take a stroll over to the market square, church, castle cates, stables or barracks to uncover new mobs, npcs, quests and much more! This zone was so much fun to make since it didn't really have much going on in the original! Adding new mobs and story to the zone helped bring it to life and make it feel like a true city. I hope you all enjoy it!
Mounts
The time has come to climb upon your horse and ride into battle!!! Head over to the stables in the bottom left of NCC to get your hands on a horse today! Also... rumor has it there is a roaming mount dealer hiding somewhere just waiting to be found!
Quarter Horse, Arabian Horse and Friesian Horse all give you +20 movement speed.
Pegasus gives you +35 movement speed but comes at a high cost.
New Crab Guard Faction
The city streets run wild with creatures and enemies alike. It's your job to clean it up and reap the rewards! Speaking of faction rewards, the New Crab Guard introduces the first faction based Mount for hitting Venerated!
New Skills and Reckless Strike Rank 5
NCC introduces some new skills to add to your skillbook!
Rapid Fire - sacrifice Crit chance for faster Attack Speed and Attack Power.
Fragile Fury - sacrifice Armor for Attack Power.
Trade Off - sacrifice HP for Energy Regen.
Reckless Strike - an old skill getting a new rank! Dealing damage to the user while doing raw damage and Hate damage.
Hair? Check! Eyes? Check! Skin? Check!
Looks like the Hairstylists and Surgeons have been hitting the books and learning new tricks just for you!
To the West, the hairstylist! She has lots of new designs and colors to choose from. Special thanks to Alyssa for all your work on the hair!
To the East, the surgeons! They haven't had any patients since Noob Island so they took some time to head back to school and sharpen their skills! The Advanced Cosmetic Surgeon offers some crazy new body colors to choose from.
While the Advanced Neuroptic Surgeon has found a way to resize your eyes and recolor them with new colors!
Second Hand Stan
Ever wanted to look like the icons of FO? Zutroy? The Collector? The Gemster? Well now you can! Second Hand Stan may have done some shady stuff to acquire these new outfit pieces but you don't need to know those details! Check his shop out in the market square in NCC!
Lydia's Fight Line Shop
Head to the market square in NCC to get your hands on new Fight Lines! These new lines include Iron. Silver, Unobtainium, Coral, Salt and Soul!
What's a Fight Line? The Fight Line is the line that is drawn on the ground visually connecting you to the mob you're fighting. Buying one of the colors and equipping it will overwrite the standard red color Fight Line.
Dr. Brewster's Bigger Brews
Dr. Brewster has been working hard in the lab and finally found a way to bottle all that Double Player XP, Faction XP and Battle Pass XP into bigger bottles! These pots give you double xp for 2 hours! Check him out in the market square in NCC.
Butterflies
Fluttering butterflies now surround the cherry blossom trees near the NCC castle gates! Another huge shout out to Alyssa! She brought this vibrant iconic area to life with her butterflies! Each one has a new color matching hair clip that drops at a 1/1000. Who will be the first to get all the colors?
Boss Challenges
Take on old foes by claiming quests in NCC to kill multiple of one boss. These will reward you with unique outfits items and a ton of XP! These quest NPCs can be found all over NCC with each having a small story to them!
New Battle Pass
Introducing the Space Battle Pass! Get your hands on new unique outfits, crafting materials, faction badges, double xp, faction and bp potions, and much more!
Special thanks to Moriarty for his hard work on this battle pass!
The Legacy Battle Pass and Summer Battle Pass will be leaving at this time and replaced with the Space Battle Pass and an updated version of the Fall Battle Pass (The Fall BP update will have the same cosmetics just updates to crafting materials, potions and faction items)
"Overequipping" Gear Overhaul
We've seen some suggestion posts recently talking about how "overequipping" gear feels a little off and unrewarding. There are just too many +# to ALL stat options and not enough diversity in how those stats are spread based on the set they come from. So we are making some stat changes to better "balance" these items. Below is a list of the changes.
Scrap (FU Armor)
Legs - 600 Armor, +4 to all -> 600 Armor, 8 INT, 8 STA
Body - 800 Armor, +4 to all -> 800 Armor, 8 INT, 8 STA

Face - 600 Armor, +3 to all -> 600 Armor, 6 INT, 6 STA
Dark Alien (FUU Armor)
Legs - 700 Armor, +6 to all -> 700 Armor, -8 STA, +10 AGI, INT, and STR
Body - 700 Armor, +7 to all -> 800 Armor, -10 STA, +12 AGI, INT, and STR
Helm - 800 Armor, +6 to all -> 900 Armor, -6 STA, +8 AGI, INT, and STR
Face - 300 Armor, +4 to all -> 300 Armor, -4 STA, +4 AGI, INT, and STR
Bearserker (Mirky Woods Armor)
Legs - 600 Armor, 14 STA, +10 AGI, INT, and STR -> 200 Armor, -10 INT, +10 AGI, +18 STA and STR
Body - 1000 Armor, 18 STA, +10 AGI, INT, and STR -> 300 Armor, -10 INT, +10 AGI, +22 STA and STR
Helm - 800 Armor, 16 STA, +10 AGI, INT, and STR -> 300 Armor, -10 INT, +10 AGI, +20 STA and STR
Face - 400 Armor, +10 to all -> 100 Armor, -10 INT, +10 AGI, +14 STA and STR
Wooden (Dark Marsh Armor)
Legs - 5000 Armor, +18 to all -> 5000 Armor, +40 STA and AGI
Body - 6000 Armor, +22 to all -> 6000 Armor, +40 STA and STR
Helm - 7000 Armor, +25 to all -> 7000 Armor, +40 STA and INT
Face - 4000 Armor, +15 to all -> 4000 Armor, +20 STA, +10 AGI, INT and STR
Naval Officer (Pirate Shores Hard Mode Armor)
Legs - +20 to all -> 3000 Armor, +50 AGI, +20 INT and STA, -20 STR
Body - +24 to all -> 4000 Armor, +50 STA, +30 AGI and STR, -25 INT
Helm - +27 to all -> 3500 Armor, +40 STR, +40 INT, +20 STA, -30 AGI
Face - +17 to all -> 2500 Armor, +25 AGI, INT, and STR, -15 STA
Shoulder - +15 to all -> 2000 Armor, +15 to all
Summary
Wow! Lots of stuff! This was one of the greatest challenges I've had so far. Honoring such an iconic zone but also bringing new and interesting things to do in the area. As always, thank you all for playing this game and I hope you all enjoy this update! See you in the Haunted Forest soon!
