Proficiency Level QoL


We’ve heard your complaints about the proficiency system, so we have decided to add some very deserved changes:

- It’s now possible to unlock a level cap even if you haven’t reached it.

- If you gain experience in a slot that already has reached the cap, a new slot will automatically be selected to gain experience.

- If you gain experience without having any slot with level cap available, the experience will be saved into a bank which will be used when you unlock a new level cap or it will be used in the event of deaths (you first will lose experience in the bank before losing from the slots)



Attributes Reroll


For the new season, we added a new equipment rolling item, the Single Attribute Reroll. This item allows you to pick an undesirable attribute in your equipment and re-roll it, while also changing its numerical value. These will be obtainable from daily bosses, continent bosses, raid bosses, fishing bosses and roulette.



Tower Arena


Better late than never, a change that many players have asked for throughout the seasons: we have finally added the option to force spawn waves, available only as a premium account feature.

Use this wisely, as it can either help or harm you.



King of the Hill changes


We decided to make some changes to the event to make it more competitive and also rewarding

KOTH has been removed from the Event Schedule rotation and will now be run twice a day, at fixed times 11:00 and 23:00 UTC time

The winning guild, in addition to gaining the exp, elite and orb bonus, will also gain a random boost similar to the worldboost scroll.

We also did some changes for the KOTH mechanics:


Winning Condition

The event will now have a maximum duration of 50 minutes. The conditions to win the event will be one of the following:

- A single player securing the throne for 5 minutes uninterrupted 

OR

- After time ends, the guild that spends the most time at the throne will win


Core Crystal

Every 90 seconds a ‘Core Crystal’ will spawn in a random location in the map and will last for 30 seconds. The guild that deals more damage during that time will receive a 35% bonus damage dealt and protection for 60 seconds. The crystal can be spawned in one of two marked areas in the image below:
