It’s Wednesday, which means we’re ready to drop another new Citadel update! Today’s patch includes some fantastic new content including a horrific new enemy and a gorgeous new high-level melee weapon.
The Blade of Simeon's Soul is a powerful magic blade capable of delivering devastating damage to enemies, human or otherwise. Paired with buff spells like Bloodlust, this level 50 sword is capable of pushing extreme damage in a short period of time, though you will be forced to deliver it from a close range.
As mentioned above, we also have a new creature! The Abomination is an abnormal freak of nature! As our latest high-level mob, the Abomination can be found somewhat infrequently stalking Ignus’ Plains and Tundra biomes. His immense size and duel-wielded axes make him a formidable opponent, capable of inflicting great damage very quickly. His major weakness is that he must get close, so try kiting him and using ranged weaponry. Engaging him in close combat will almost certainly be a fatal mistake.
The Abomination drops a set of new reagents: Sickly Hearts and Dark Plasma. While Sickly Hearts will be used in future crafting recipes, the energy of the Dark Plasma will now be a requirement in the crafting of Elixir of Demonic Spirit. It’s a good idea to hunt some of these guys down to maintain a healthy stock of reagents!

As you may have read earlier this week, we’ve also gone ahead and closed a number of empty servers to better compress the community and make finding a populated server easier. If your preferred server was deleted we’ve archived and uploaded each world’s save data. Click here if you’d like to save this data and use it on your own private server/custom game!
Just as a quick note: We are aware that some players have encountered issues with FPS drops on some servers. We are investigating this issue and will update you all as soon as we have more information!
