Patch Notes

We’re introducing an account cleanup to remove inactive and low-progress accounts from the game.

• Guest accounts will be deleted after 30 days of inactivity.
• Registered accounts with a total level below 150 will be marked for deletion if they’ve been inactive for more than 6 months.
• Registered accounts with a total level below 250 will be marked for deletion if they’ve been inactive for more than 12 months.
• Accounts with a total level of 250 or higher won’t be affected.

Registered accounts will be notified by email and will have 21 days from the notice to log in and reactivate their account. We expect this process to remove a large number of old accounts. As a result, many previously used usernames will become available again.

• Fixed an issue with buildings not correctly completing in the background.
• Fixed building cost breakdown not accounting for the characters construction level.

Seasonal battles have been scheduled. Throw eggs at members of the opposing teams to obtain points for your team.

Quick Recap:

• Seasonal battles are only available during specific, short-lived time periods. Any eggs thrown outside of these active windows will not count toward points.
• Every egg successfully thrown at an opposing team during an active battle awards 3 points to the player’s team.
• Throwing eggs at players on other teams also grants 10 experience toward the campaign-related skill. For example, landing a egg on an opposing team awards 10 Springtide Mastery experience.
• Each egg thrown during a battle against an opposing team gives a 5% chance of receiving 1 to 5 shards.
• Head over to the seasonal campaign page and press "Battles" to view any current or upcoming battles.

Heads Up

As mentioned in the recent blog post, you can expect potential balancing changes across various areas of the game over the next few weeks as we continue reviewing overall balance. This may include areas such as tools, equipment, existing specials, potions, dragon soul stones, pet eggs, dungeon costs, and more.

The Construction skill will also be part of this review and may receive adjustments.

Nothing is final at this stage. Some areas may change during the review, while others may take longer or remain completely unchanged as we continue refining the approach.

As of writing, nothing is confirmed. This is a heads up in case you’re currently trading or holding items that could be impacted.

Before any changes do go live, any affected market listings will be removed and returned to your character if the value of the item increases.

• The efficiency obtained from leveling up construction doubled. It now scales from 0% to 20% according to your level instead of 0% to 10%.
• Fixed paw icon on the pet showcase.
• [Public API] Fixed the character pet endpoint not correctly returning the pets stats.

We’ve recently made a number of changes to vendor values across items, alongside the earlier adjustment to membership scroll pricing.

With these changes, we wanted to take a step back and explain the thinking behind them. The goal is to give a clear, high-level view of what’s been changing, why we’ve been doing it, and where we’re trying to take things.

By increasing vendor values, trades now carry a more meaningful cost, gold is removed more consistently through tax, and items have a stronger floor when it comes to pricing. It also adds a bit more weight to how items are transferred and used, which helps reduce some of the distortion we’ve been seeing around item movement and progression.

In the short term, the market may feel a bit unsettled as everything adjusts, which is to be expected. We’ll be keeping a close eye on how things behave over the coming weeks and making adjustments where needed.

Because our approach relies on letting the data come in, we can’t rule out further changes just yet. This could include things like increasing dungeon entry costs, lowering item drop rates, or adjusting item values if that ends up being the simplest option.

Things need time to settle before we have a clear picture of what’s actually happening. It’s also entirely possible that no further changes will be needed, but we need to give it that time before making the call. We’ll also be reviewing other areas of the game, such as egg drops, alchemy items, and Dragon Soulstones, so consider this a heads-up.

• Due to changes to vendor values, it was possible to gain a large amount of bartering experience from a single item. Bartering experience is now capped at 20,000 EXP per item.

We have updated the vendor values for Legendary and Mythic forge items and their recipes to better match their actual value.

These values were previously too low for the strength, rarity, and market demand of the items involved. As a result, high-end items could be traded for very little tax, moved between players too cheaply, and used in low-cost item lending or forging services more often than intended.

We don't want to eliminate these services entirely. However, one of our goals is to increase the barrier to entry so they require more meaningful investment to access.

To improve this, we reviewed current player market prices and used them as the main reference point when setting the new vendor values. Mythic values were adjusted more closely to active market pricing, while Legendary values were tuned more carefully due to the wider difference between weaker and stronger items in that tier.

This update is intended to:

• Give high-end items and recipes a more appropriate vendor floor
• Increase trade tax on powerful items so it better matches their value
• Reduce cheap item loaning and temporary transfers
• Make low-cost forging handoffs less attractive
• Let unwanted high-end items return a more reasonable amount of gold when sold to the game, without making vendoring the primary way to profit from them

We will keep an eye on the market after this change and make further adjustments if needed.
