New Content: Divine Unicorn & Tempered Iron Armor
We added two new pieces of content in this Wednesday's patch! In case you missed our patch preview post, here are the details of what's been added:
Divine Unicorn
Long thought to be driven to extinction by the twisted dark magic that birthed its corrupted brethren, the Divine Unicorn has reemerged across Ignus. While the common Unicorns embody dark energy and corrupt magic, the Divine Unicorn is pure, and radiates with divine light.
Like its counterparts, the Divine Unicorn is extremely uncommon. Its blood – which can be used to concot powerful potions and is used in imbuing high level magic weaponry – makes it a particularly appealing target for hunters. If you should see one, attack before it flees!
Tempered Iron Armor
The Tempered Iron Armor set is the next set in the Iron path of armors. Like the lower tier Iron Armor, the Tempered set is covered in dense, heavy metal plating from top to bottom, providing the wearer with a superior defense. This set possesses a high base defense stat, and will endure a heavy beating with minimal wear and tear!
No armor is perfect, and the Tempered set is no exception; this set does have a few flaws. For one, it requires a significant amount of resources to craft, which can make acquiring a full set quite the undertaking. Additionally, because of its thick, heavy nature, this set can be quite a burden. You'll want to make sure you've spent plenty of Character Points on Carrying Capacity if you'll want to wear this set with room to spare for potions, trinkets and loot!
Bug Fixes, Balance Tweaks, Optimizations
We've put out multiple server optimization patches this week. Servers are now much better at managing and loading extreme structures, which has helped them stay up consistently and crash with significantly less frequency.
We also fixed a serious bug with the Deconstructor, which frustrated many community members. Previously, the Deconstructor would sometimes destroy the wrong items when a player would try to engage with it. This should now be resolved. Feel free to keep all your possessions with you when breaking things down!

Trading Cards Added!
We've also added trading cards to the game! Now as you play Citadel you'll earn trading cards which can be used to unlock unique Citadel badges as well as some spiffy Steam emoticons and backgrounds!
Community Content
Wow! What a week its been for amazing structures. You guys have truly outdone yourselves. From ornate temples to freakin' pirate ships, the community creations you guys have displayed have been mindblowing! Let's take a quick look at a few of our favorites:
Erodiel's determined to pillage and plunder the seas surrounding Ignus with this extremely impressive pirate ship structure!
Mr.Huang has taken our ornate set and used it to create these impressive and extremely convincing golden temples!
Titanium's sprawling castle compound is wonderful! The stone walls are adorned with the ornate trim to give it a sturdy-yet-regal aesthetic.
Laggytoes' kingdom is so perfectly integrated with the mountainside that it almost looks like it was meant to be there.
