• Skill Costing: Skill costing is now static and no longer based on your attributes. So ASGW can learn magic the same as AIEW?? Yeah, but they still suck at it.

• Build Points: From level 100-200 you will gain 10 build points (and a new baldric) every 25 levels. Spend them wisely!

• Level 6 Supreme Master Skills:

• Yes, level 6 magic skills come with level 6 spells. Some are vendor sold, some are found. Good luck!

• Touch Spells: Touch spell speeds have been increased, meaning these spells will fire earlier in combat. A buff for anyone that uses these spells, but specifically intended to allow additional counter attacks for hybrid characters after a touch spell in combat.

• Shift Spell: Mana cost reduced and you'll now receive a combat log message when the spell has faded.

• Summon Tier 3 Bug Fix: Bug causing those that did reach the required thresholds not to get the next tier of summons.

    • Tier 4: Tier 4: Requires at least +60 Necro SDM and meeting two out of three thresholds: 15 Intelligence, 15 Strength, or 15 Endurance.

Mabon’s Marks:

Mabon's Marks are the newest craze when it comes to collecting those truly unique decorations and cosmetics.  Marks can be collected in numerous ways:

• Attending events

• The Event Oasis (Located two south & three left from the East Leinster Teleporter.)

• The Pit of Anguish, the upcoming challenge dungeon!

You can find the Mabon’s Mark vendor at the entrance to The Pit of Anguish, located right from the Kurz teleporter.

Miscellaneous:

• Item Text Color Shuffle:  Many of your items likely changed text color. Text color is no longer based on level but on rarity.

• NPC "Talk Trees" Revised: Some are helpful, some are just color content.

⚔️ Happy Hunting! ⚔️
