Runes Adjustments

Attack Speed, Critical Damage and Block Strength
Like the gem system, the rune system has been simplified as well. Runes that were only usable in two-handed or one-handed weapons have been merged into one new rune per attribute and will grant a bonus based on the item slot it is assigned to.

These changes will affect the following runes:

• Runes of Celerity (Attack speed)
• Runes of Devastation (Critical damage)
• Runes of Persistence (Block strength)

The power level of the new Runes of Celerity has also been increased to compensate for a part of the power which will be lost by the removal of sapphires (see below).

Rune	2h Weapon	1h Weapon	Weapon Adornment
Lesser Rune of Celerity	6%	6%	4%
Rune of Celerity	10%	10%	6%
Mighty Rune of Celerity	16%	16%	8%
Supreme Rune of Celerity	20%	20%	10%

Sapphire Removal
All sapphires have been removed from the game and exchanged with with a corresponding Rune of Celerity as described in the table below:

Sapphires	Exchanged to
Flawed Sapphire	Lesser Rune of Celerity (new)

Rune Limits
With this release, the item slot restriction has been removed from certain runes. This means players can now assign the following runes to any item slot:​

• Runes of Materi Blessing
• Runes of Wisdom Seeker
• Group Effect Runes

Since the slot restriction has been removed, a maximum socketable amount of 5 has been introduced for these runes.

This means that players can only socket 5 runes of the same type into items. This includes all items, meaning equipped items, items stored in the inventory and the bank.​

Durability

• durability has been removed from the game
• the option to repair your equipment has been removed from the blacksmith

Glyph Values

• increased Glyphs of Power value for magic items by 25%
• increased Glyphs of Power value for extraordinary items by 100%
• increased Glyphs of Power value for legendary items by 33%

Note that this change will only be applied for items that dropped prior release 214.

​

Crafting

Stack Crafting
This feature will allow players to craft several items at once, including gems and runes.

Ingredient Bag
We are implementing an Ingredient Bag, allowing players to collect the new and old ingredients, like crafting cores, without blocking any general inventory space. The ingredients listed in the bag will be sorted by type and rarity.

Ingredients
Players will now be able to collect special ingredients from all of the dungeons across Dracania (on difficulty Painful or higher). These are needed to craft a raft of completely new potions elixirs, tonics and physics. Ingredients exist in several rarities which can only be found on specific difficulties (the higher the rarity, the higher the difficulty).

Reduced Crafting Core Types
The variety of crafting cores will be reduced to make the whole system a bit less complex and the hunt for cores easier. To do this we will be introducing two new crafting cores. The first one, the Materia Cores, will replace all of the elemental cores (Dark, Blazing, Solid, Shock, Frost, Venom) from the Parallel Worlds and will drop instead of them from Parallel World bosses. All existing elemental cores will be exchanged for this new one. This means players will no longer need to farm specific dungeons for specific cores anymore. The second new core type, Tellurian Cores, will be available in all normal dungeons on ALL difficulties. It will be needed whenever a player wants to craft the equipment items that can be found in the normal dungeons. This new core also enables the introduction of the first type of core crafting (Augment) to happen earlier at level 35.In the end, there will only be just six cores in total – the current Soul, Pristine, Augment and Draken cores and the two new cores described above. Where to find these different cores will also be changing.
​

​

Potions, Elixirs, Tonics & Physics
A number of new items will be introduced to try and make the players’ lives a little easier. Here is a brief overview of the new item types:

Potions
Potions will restore health and resources. In addition to the common restore potions, we will also be introducing potions which regenerate health or resource over time. There will also be potions which have a combined effect. For example, these would restore a specific amount of health instantly and some more over time.
Elixirs
Elixirs will be a great way of increasing a single attribute by a very high amount for a short time. Elixirs will be active for 20 seconds and have a cooldown time of two minutes.

Tonics
Tonics will increase a single attribute by an absolute amount. Tonics will have an active duration of two hours.

Physics
Physics will increase a single attribute by a certain percentage. They come in two variants: simple and advanced. The simple versions will last for 30 minutes while the advanced versions will last for two hours.​

Quests
We are also be implementing a new crafting quest row which will guide players through the new and different crafting mechanics. Through these new quests, players will be able to unlock most of the crafting possibilities – this means that players can start using these specific crafting methods only after completing the related quest for it.This new quest row will follow along with the normal game's progression. This means that the crafting quests will only be available at certain levels and in certain regions. In general, crafting quest tasks will send players to Dracania’s dungeons, except for the Parallel World and event dungeons, and only on difficulty Painfuland higher. This means that players will need to unlock these difficulties before being able to complete the new quests.There are two quests, one normal and one repeatable, in every region. Normal quests will usually teach the player new crafting methods while the repeatable ones will offer players the chance to receive rare crafting recipes for elixirs, tonics and physics, each bound to a specific region.

Recipes
With the introduction of the new quest row, the way some recipes work has been adjusted. For example: In the current version of the game a players needs to buy or find a recipe for any item or set to enable the core crafting methods for it. Now, there is just be one recipe per core crafting method (Augment, Pristine and Soul) which will unlock the crafting for all items – including future ones!

Please see the list below for instructions on how and when the different crafting recipes will be unlocked:

​

Reverting
The costs to revert a crafting process have been removed. Items will still be lost when reverting.


New Workbenches
As it is sometimes rather crowded around a workbench, especially in Kingshill, new themed workbenches are being introduced. Players can find these next to their related NPCs – for example, the jeweler. When opening one of the themed workbenches it will automatically select the tab of the theme it is assigned to, in this example Gems & Runes. Players can, however, switch to another tab to use any workbench for any type of crafting they desire.


Achievements / Titles
With all the new changes within the crafting system, there are also new achievements and titles for crafting enthusiasts.


Additional Consumable Slots
With this release, two additional slots have been added above the already existing potion slots. Any consumable item (e.g. potions, elixirs, tonics, physics or other buff items) can be placed in these four slots.


PvP Update

General Updates and Adjustments
With this release, a few changes for the PvP battlegrounds in Drakensang are being applied. Our goal of these changes is to shift our PvP to a more “based-on-your-actions” experience and eliminating the "one-hit-kill" issue.

Following changes:​

• base values are also named PVP enabled in the item tooltip
• only these values will be available in PvP battles, except for open arenas
• the following value increases will be deactivated:
  • gems
  • enchantments
  • runes
  • unique values, including set bonuses
  • skill group effects
  • legacy equipment will have no effect in PvP battles, except for open arenas
• to achieve a better experience a general buff will be active in PvP battles, except for open arenas
• 40% faster movement speed, 62.5% increased attack speed, 200% increased block rate, +3225 (on level 55) to all resistances (level dependent)
• player summons’ health points will be reduced by 90% in PvP battles (compared to PvE maps and open arenas) This applies to the following player summons:
  • Mechanical Turret (Steam Mechanicus)
  • Machine Gun Turret (Steam Mechanicus)
  • Tactical Turret (Steam Mechanicus)
  • Guardian / Guardian of Flames (Spellweaver)
  • Wild Pack / Wood Wraith (Ranger)

Skills Adjustments

​

Steam Mechanicus

Steam Conductor

​

Matchmaking
To achieve a better matchmaking with this release, the ELO-System will be reset. This means that all current internal player scores will be reset, which will result in quicker matchmaking but the PvP statistics will stay untouched.
In addition, a player's Honor Level will no longer have an influence on the matchmaking process.

Capture the Flag – 5v5

• the movement speed reduction when picking up a flag has been changed to 30%

Storm of the Fortress – 6v6

• health points and damage values of towers, structures, the Steamdriver, and the Marching Bombs have been adjusted
• to be able to attack the Thunder Gun Controls and the last Protective Tower in the fortress, the attacking team needs to destroy all three Heavy Defensive Towers first
• healing auras of the defending team have been increased from 4% to 5%
• healing auras of the attacking team have been decreased from 10% to 5%
• player summons will no longer target towers, structures, the Steamdriver or the Marching Bombs
• towers and structures are now immune to damage from the Steam Mechanicus’ Tesla Turret

​

​

Enchantment Update

Golden Enchantments
The chance for golden enchantments in extraordinary and legendary items has been increased. The chance also increases depending on the dungeon difficulty.
The minimum and maximum range for golden enchantment values have been adjusted and lies now between 98% and 100% of the possible maximum value of regular enchantments.

Unique Enchantments
With this release a new type of enchantment will be introduced, the unique enchantments. These enchantments work similar to golden enchantments and can only be found on extraordinary items.
Their values are up to 20% higher than the possible maximum value of regular enchantments. Unique enchantments will be represented by a yellow colored value in an item's tooltip.

​

Sentinel Random Monster Enchantments
Sentinel monsters (orange) now have random monster enchantments. Like the already existing random enchantments for other monster ranks, there are primary and secondary enchantments.
A sentinel can only have one primary enchantment, but multiple secondary enchantments (difficulty dependent).

Secret Lairs
With this release, a new set of dungeons will be implemented into the game: The Secret Lairs.

Whenever a boss is defeated, the entrance to one of these Secret Lairs will be opened. Depending on where the player is coming from, the dungeons will differ in size and difficulty.

There are 4 different types in total:

• Normal – 4 platforms
• Additional Difficulties – 6 platforms
• Events – 8 platforms
• Parallel Worlds – 12 platforms

Examples:
(1) If the player defeats Heredur on normal difficulty, he/she will be redirected to the Secret Lair of Ice that comes with 4 platforms.

(2) If the player defeats Kramparus during the Winter Solstice Festival on difficulty Painful, he/she will be redirected to the Secret Lair of Ice that comes with 8 platforms on difficulty Painful.​

As mentioned in the above examples, each Secret Lair is focussed on one of the existing element types of the game, such as Andermagic, fire or ice.
The table below provides an overview of all existing bosses and their respective Secret Lairs.

Please note that a boss is also able to lead to more than one type. In this case, it’s random which entrance will appear after the boss is defeated.

With the removal of the Jesters (in Kingshill), these dungeons (Secret Lairs) will be the new source of Gilded Clovers, by providing various challenges.

These challenges are:
Protector Waves
In this variation, there will be one protector on each available platform. Defeating the protectors will grant the player a chance to receive Gilded Clovers.

However, the protector will be accompanied by different monsters that will spawn in waves, as soon as his health drops to a certain percentage.
As soon as the first wave of monsters appears, he will receive a shield that makes it invulnerable, until the fifth wave of monsters has spawned.

This procedure will be repeated, as soon as the protectordrops even lower in health. The second wave (6-10) will start when he receives the second shield.
As long as the shield is active, the protector will not actively participate in the battle.

Greedy Goblin Hunt
As soon as the player is getting closer to the first platform of the dungeon, a Greedy Goblin will appear. As usual, this Goblin will try to get away from the player as fast as possible. While running away, he will summon different monsters on his path to make sure to get some distance between his location and the location of the players.

As soon as he reaches his destination (which is usually on the other side of the dungeon), he will disappear. In this case, no loot is granted. If players defeat him, there is a very high chance to receive Gilded Clovers.
A minimap icon will show the exact position of the goblin at any time.

Wreckful Protector
In this variation, there are locked chests on most of the accessible platforms. As soon as the player is getting closer to the first platform of the dungeon, a protector will appear on the other side of the dungeon. He will start to walk towards the other end of the dungeon. As soon as the aura, that surrounds him, reaches one of the locked chests, it will be destroyed. The player must make haste in order to attack the protector. As soon as his health drops to a certain percentage, he will switch to battle mode.

At this point in time, the protector is not able to destroy any more chests and can be defeated.

As soon as the player is able to defeat him, all chests are unlocked and can be looted.

However, on the platforms between protector and players, different types of monster will appear to slow the player down.
A minimap icon will show the exact position of the protector.

Monster Hordes
In this variation, the entire dungeon is filled with different monsters. There are no specific rules for this variation. Just chill and kill.​

​

Additional bonus chest for completed dungeons
An additional bonus chest will appear as soon as the entire dungeon is free from monsters only with Monster Hordes challenge. A minimap marker will show the specific location of the chest after the last monster was killed. This chest is an additional source of Gilded Clovers.

Special platforms
There are two different types of platforms in each dungeon. While the main platforms will provide the different challenges listed above, special platforms will provide slightly different encounter. Players can start the special encounters by activating the altar ("Ancient Brazier") that is located on the platforms.

​

There is one special platform in each small dungeon (4 or 6 platforms) and two special platforms in each big dungeon (8 & 12 platforms).

They can start the following encounter:

Greedy Goblin Waves
One Greedy Goblin is good, a pack of Greedy Goblins is better. As soon as the Ancient Brazier is activated, waves of goblins and other monsters will start to spawn. Players must act quickly, as the goblins will disappear after a short amount of time.

Sentinel Fight
Similar to the final encounter in one of the dungeons with additional difficulties, a Sentinel will appear after the Ancient Brazier is activated. After the Sentinel is defeated, several chests will appear, which can be looted. There is also a chance for a bonus chest that will contain additional Gilded Clovers!

Monster Chest Battle
As soon as the player activates the Ancient Brazier, a Chest of the Lairs will spawn. This monster in disguise will spawn minions to defend itself. As soon as it is defeated, it can be looted.

Free Chest
A group of 6 chests in a row will appear. The player can choose one, the others will vanish. The content of these chests will vary from dungeon run to dungeon run! ​

​

Entry Costs
To enter one of the Secret Lairs, players must collect a specific key, called "Secret Lairs' Offering".

Regardless of difficulty and current location, the costs will be always one key per entrance.
The number of keys that the player will be able to get will be limited per day.

The players can find it here:

• Daily Login Bonus
• Daily Deal
• Gnob (Event Merchant)
• Emilia (Premium Trader)
• Daily Challenges
• PvP Trader

Closing of maps
As soon as the first player crosses the blue barrier, the map is closed for any other players. Player groups should make sure that everyone is on the map BEFORE they leave the starting point.​

​
