Announcement Release 221 Patchnotes [Part 1]

Release 221 Part 1​

Heroes of Dracania,

With this release, we will introduce the first new unique cloaks/banners and also add some missing crafting possibilities for the cloaks which we have introduced with the last release.

Besides that, we also bring back the jewels that some of you might still remember. This time we expanded the possibilities offered by the jewels: You will now be able to combine different gems (royal or above) to one jewel.

This release also brings a reworked version of the Defeat the Undefeatable event.

The second part of release 221 will contain the rework of the Dracanian Anniversary Festival event. Currently, it is planned to deploy this second part in mid-august.​

• Items
  • Jewels
    • With this release, a new jewel framework will be introduced. There are two types of jewels: Jewel of Coalescence and different jewels with unique effects. Jewels are different from gems in the way, that only a limited amount of them can be added to the equipment. However, Jewels of Coalescence will have no slot limitation, which makes it possible to place them into every item.
      • Jewel of Coalescence can be created from Royal Gems and combine their values onto them. It is possible to combine any three Royal Gems of the same rarity to craft a Jewel of Coalescence. The Royal Gems used for crafting need to be different ones, it is not possible to create a jewel which, for example, has three damage values.
      • Crafting Example:

Royal Amethyst	Royal Ruby	Royal Onyx	Result: Jewel of Coalescence
Value: 460 Health Points	Value: 90 Damage	Value: 900 Critical Hit Rating	Values: 345 Health Points 68 Damage 675 Critical Hit Rating

• Jewels with Unique Effects
  • This type of jewel differs from the Jewels of Coalescence in the way that they have unique effects and values, meaning values which are not present on any gem. These jewels need to be placed into an item of a specific slot. Jewels with unique effects need to be found and can not be created via crafting, it is only possible to upgrade their rarity at the workbench.
  • Jewel Overview:

Jewel of Encouragement (Common)	Values: 180 Health Points When dealing damage to an enemy, there is a 10% chance to trigger the Increasing Encouragement buff for 10 seconds. The buff increases your Resource by 5% and regenerates 5% Health Points per second of all group members (except you). The buff does not stack.
Jewel of Contribution (Common)	Values: 180 Health Points When dealing damage to an enemy, there is a 10% chance to trigger the Valuable Contribution buff for 10 seconds. The buff increases your Health Points by 5% and regenerates 5% Resource per second of all group members (except you). The buff does not stack.
Jewel of Rejuvenation (Common)	Values: 180 Health Points Health Points Regeneration per Second: 100
Jewel of Rage (Common) – (New)	Values: 450 Critical Hit Rating When dealing critical damage to an enemy, there is a 20% chance that your critical damage increases by 10% and your attack speed increases by 5% for 10 seconds.
