- Hotfix 1.00.319 | Announcement - 28 March 2026
Dear friends,This patch note begins with a message from the studio head:I'll start with a touch of humor, recalling a famous catchphrase known in the Russian community:“I'm tired — I'm out.”As of March 30, I am fully and irrevocably stepping down from my role as project lead, making way for fresh energy and perspectives.This decision wasn't easy: over these 9 years, while I've certainly taken significant financial losses as an entrepreneur, I've also honestly and sincerely poured an enormous amount of time, energy, emotion — and frankly, life force — into my dream.The main reason is the project and its development have become excessively dependent on my personality. And after the thorny path of development, the accumulated fatigue — and, to some extent, bitterness and regret — I've grown far too biased and rigid when it comes to the project and its future.As always, there was both good…
- The Age of Brave - 24 March 2026
Friends, this major update introduces several new mechanics and locations—but first, a word on our immediate plans.Beyond hotfixes, our primary focus will be on rebalancing. We've already begun actively gathering community feedback, with the main priority being a reassessment of the current attack/defense imbalance. While we continue collecting input on how best to address this, we're considering several options:Reverting armor bonus/malus values to their previous RD-era state—i.e., the more Physical Defense (PD) an armor piece grants, the greater the penalty to Magical Defense (MD);Reverting penalties on enchantments—particularly forced ones—to their former values, where enchantments more heavily penalize the opposite stat;Gradually restoring previous secondary stat requirements for small armor sets and jewelry;Introducing passive effects tied to damage types and weapon classes (bleed,…

But first, a quick heads: "Teleportation System 2.0" is already in testing and developing alongside our new location.Exploits and PunishmentsOver the past two weeks, we've identified and fixed two methods of illegal item duplication. These weren't widespread, but two specific groups were knowingly using them.For one exploit (taler duplication), we had no trouble fixing it—the vulnerability was patched within an hour of discovery, and 9 accounts were banned. The second exploit, however, required us to get feedback from the blocked accounts.The February 28th patch resolved the second vulnerability. Player accounts that reached out to us, as well as those who provided detailed descriptions of the exploit, been unblocked—with not only the illegally obtained items…
- Update 1.00.259 - 27 February 2026
Dear friends!ElixirsAs part of introducing enhancement elixir crafting, we've also reworked the elixir system as a whole.We've noticed that many players have accumulated large stocks of low-tier XP elixirs that rarely see use—so we're giving them a purpose instead of letting them gather dust in storage:We’ve added an NPC in Cadarn that enables creating enhancement elixirs:T1 elixir is crafted using Magistrate Bills and Seals, T2 elixirs are made out of T1, and T3 out of T2;Phantom enhancement elixirs can now be upgraded from lower Phantom tiers;The NPCs who allowed creating XP buff elixirs now work in the same way:Tier 1 crafted from seals (requirement reduced from 5 to 2), Tier 2 crafted from Tier 1, and so on up the chain;Phantom XP elixirs can also be upgraded from lower phantom tiers;Adjusted the bonuses from elixirs: Т1 — 3%, Т2 — 6%, Т3 was left unchanged 10%;Note: Effects from re…

Dear friends!On this weekend day—a day off for most of you, but not for us—we are rushing to publish a new hotfix, which also includes a number of changes.Zlatys: Final CompensationUnfortunately, due to issues with the in-game mail system, not all players who purchased Zlaty prior to the release received them in full during the first days after launch.

OptimizationWe understand that the initial game loading time, even when it exceeds just two minutes, is highly frustrating and off-putting.However, the issue is more complex than it seems. Based on the feedback we've received, loading times vary by a factor of more than six, even on similar hardware setups.Alongside our ongoing investigation, we have taken a parallel approac…
