Description Howdy valued community!

This time we come around the corner with a patch that will fulfill many of your wishes. This patch was created purely from feedback from the community.
We thank everyone in the community who have been loyal to us for such a long time.

But that's not all, prepare yourself for exciting times.
A lot will change in the next months.


Addons
Display Spoiler

(1.) Drop Box System

This system brings a whole new aspect to the game. There are boxes all over Iberia waiting to be found and captured by you. Which is a pleasant new reason to explore the beauty of Iberia.

- 581 individual spawn points spread over Iberia
- Up to 5 crates can be spawned per map at the same time
- After a treasure has been looted a new treasure spawns randomly on the map 2 hours after
- In Gebra, Ardir, Hesed and Tycontorega the loot of the boxes is a little better
- The loot is always randomly picked from a lootable. However, we do not reveal what can be included. You have to find that out for yourself :)

(2.) Spohr Guards announces their appearing now

We've decided to announce every spawn of a Spohr Guard publicly. We'll even tell you in which document he spawned. This should be a new incentive for the emergence of PvP.

(3.) New Item: Cloak effect removal scroll

We want to deeply apologize that we have let you wait for so long for such a little thing.

- The scroll can be bought from cash shop for 360 Moonstones (Category: Character and Style)

(4.) White Behemoth <Limited>

A few less pigments and a mysterious being becomes a truly mysterious being. This mount is heavily armored and will be your new faithful companion in the most honorable battles you win every day on the ancient battlefields.
Attention: Snappy! Do not leave near children or fairies. 4Ancient is not liable if your mount tries to eat you :D

- Can be bought from the cash shop for 2538 moonstones until the 12.10.2019. (Permanent | 175%) (Category: Companions and Mounts)

(5.) Setting to permanently display the FPS

In the game settings a new entry has been added which allows you to display the FPS permanently.

(6.) Companions can be deleted now

You've wished for it, we've fulfilled it for you.

- Attention: Can not be undone!

(7.) Tooltip for the Inventory Lock

Since some new players didn't understand what's the purpose of the lock in the main bag, we added a tooltip to hover over it that explains this feature.

(8.) A new smith has been added to markuth

A new master blacksmith settled in Markuth and now offers his services. Valorian had this advantage for a long time, and Derions wished for equality. We bring it to you.

- Our team will not reveal the blacksmith's position. Search and find him and spread his position in the community.



Changes
Display Spoiler

(1.) No miss in Arena

The arena is about proving your abilities. An RNG system has nothing to do here! We thank you for the good suggestion.

(2.) The invisible time from portals was reduced

We understood you and you, the community, we're able to convince us. This change had to go into the game.

- From 15 seconds to 7

(3.) Priests can use the skill "Crow" in Tournaments again

Hopefully priest tournaments are now a little more exciting.

(4.) The minimum speed factor is now 25%

Since our change, as the only server, that counts all speed buffs and debuffs against each other, it happens that you can't move anymore if too many debuffs affect you at once. This behavior has been changed

- The default speed factor is 100% which is the base speed
- No matter how many debuffs you have the speed factor can not fall below 25% anymore

(5.) Class changes

It's no secret that many of the classes in this game need a little more love. According to the feedback you gave us, we have now implemented following changes.

- Evocator/Summoner:
* The God Spirit and Darkened now receive less damage from Aoe's according to their skill level.
_ Level 1 = 30% less damage / Level 2 = 40% less damage / Level 3 = 50% less damage
* The Skill "Lava" from the God Spirit has a shortened cast time (9sec -> 6.5 seconds)
* The Skill "Blockade" duration has been changed from 12seconds to 8seconds

- Nightwalker:
* The melee damage (strength) has been increased
* The minimum miss rate of nightwalkers stuns are 80% now
* Pendatrons Coat cast time has been changed to 1 second
* Pendatrons Coat can now be used in Battle of Glory
* Escape chance has been changed to 80%

- Priest:
_ Cleanse chance to hit is now 85%
_ Purify chance to hit is now 85%
* Mana costs of many skills were reworked:
_ Armor Buff: 7% -> 4%
_ Abudant Mana: 7% -> 4%
_ Calmness: 6% -> 3%
_ Purification: 6% -> 4%
_ Sanctuary: 8% -> 6%
_ Sacred Blessing: 10% -> 8%
_ Torturing Shadow: 18% -> 12%

- Archer:
* Chance to debuff someone has been increased to 80%
* Escape chance has been increased to 80%

- Warrior:
* Changing the stance(attack, defense, none) makes you visible now
* Defense state "Magic Protection" has been reduced from 140 to 120

- Mage:
* The effective stun area of fear has been nerfed




Bug Fixes
Display Spoiler

(1.) The quest reward for resurrection scrolls for ancient coins has been corrected

Instead of 12 you now receive the correct amount which is 3.

(2.) The buttons in the companion window are now always in front of the companion preview

(3.) The preview of the companion in the companion window should be a bit better now

(4.) Fixed 2 costumes showing hair, there is still a problem that new hairs poke through.

(5.) The bottom part of chests are visible again

(6.) The duel bug where your duel partner dies has been fixed

(7.) The pet of an evocator was still able to miss in tournaments and the arena, this has been fixed

(8.) Fixed a bug with the missing system, where the percentage shown in-game didn't represent the actual percentage.


We weren't sure if we should name this version 1.8 yet, but considering what has changed since 1.7, it's more than justified to finally take the step.
From now on some things will change, like our patch rhythm. We now try to bring innovations into the game every 2 weeks.

New Battle Modes and a lot of unbelievable big things will come up to you in the next months.


Kind Regards,
your 4Ancient team
