Greetings Adventurers! On Thursday, 3/28 a patch with a new PvE experience, Mistvane Shrine, and many adjustments to Archos will be deployed. After the deployment of this patch, we’ll be focusing our efforts on bugs still plaguing Archos, and the overall balance of Dark and Light. Be sure to check out of all of the changes made to Dark and Light in the full patch notes below!
Mistvane Shrine
Mistvane Shrine is a jail that was created by the Gods to contain terrible creatures that could not be controlled. The shrine was sealed in the sky above the Floating Islands and hidden in dense fog in hopes that it would never be found. For daring Adventurers that wish to take on these terrors, they’ll have to transfer to Mistvane Shrine using the conveyor system hidden in the Floating Islands.
Qinaryss Gustclaw
Qinaryss Gustclaw is the sole descendant of a tribe known by legend as the "Galeriders", a band of powerful harpies who were responsible for gathering the wind magic to give rise to Mistvane Shrine. Qinaryss Gustclaw is over five centuries old and, since birth, has bathed in the concentrated magic of the temple. She is able to project her voice, causing Adventurers to become disoriented or even blackout. She is a truly dangerous foe, and will stop at nothing to defend her domain against any intruding Adventurers.
Fey Drake
An enchanted familiar of Qinaryss Gustclaw. This reptilian minion thrives in the wind and can conjure strong healing magic. It is the key to Qinaryss Gustclaw's cursed long life. Bred to be submissive, the Fey Dragon may hunt for a new master should anything happen to its current one.
New Equipment - Cloudburst Armor and Stormbreaker Glaive
After defeating Qinaryss Adventurers will be able to forge with materials once thought to be long lost. These materials will allow the construction of the Cloudburst Armor Set and the Stormbreaker Glaive.
- Stormbreaker Glaive - Attacking with this spear will charge the weapon leading to a devastating power attack.
- Cloudburst Armor - Donning a full set of this will allow Adventurers to glide with wings of their very own, controlling their falls and assisting in the navigation of Archos.
