Patch 2.5.0 - Ace Dueling, Epic Bosses

1. Iberian Lottery System
Bet Big, Win Bigger - with the Iberian Lottery System

- The greater your investment, the greater your chance of being selected as a winner.
- If not at least ten people participate in the lottery, the draw date is advanced by one week.
- Twenty percent of all the auction fees are now flowing into the Iberian lottery, making investing more attractive even when the participant number is low. The maximum the auctioneer can invest is set to 3000 Gold.

2. Champions of Dragonrod

- The battle time was shortened from 55 minutes down to 30
- The times were adjusted and are now as follows: 16:50 - 17:25 and 21:25 - 22:00

3. World Boss
Gather your armies and face the world boss for a chance at loot and glory! May the strongest nation prevail

- The old new world bosses in Ardir, Chesed, Gebra, and Tycontorega are back. Fight daily in a different location and prevail against all the enemies in this massive open pvp mode.
- All monsters are wiped off the map once the boss spawns and respawn once the boss dies or vanishes
- All world bosses now share a unique target bar providing additional information like the percentage share in damage made of each country (left: valo share, middle: hp left, right: deri share)
- A world boss always instant kills if he doesn't miss his target
- All world bosses now have 15'000'000 life (in the next patch the life will be variable based on the active players in the recent hour)
- Time Plan: Every day at 19:00 except Sunday at 21:15
Ardir: Monday, Friday, | Chesed: Thursday | Gebra: Saturday | Tycontorega: Tuesday | Forgotten Island: Wednesday, Sunday
- A portal in Forgotten Island was added and can be accessed while the world boss is spawned to teleport closer to the battle (not working, fix coming within the next workweek)

1. Advanced Duel System
Duel it out with the Advanced Duel System - Get Ready to Customize and Rumble

You now have the option to ask a player for a custom duel in which you can place bets (up to 100 Gold) and configure options.
The following options are available:

• Can Miss (not working, fix coming within the next workweek)
  
• Can Mount
  
• Unlimited Mana
  
• Allow Health Potions
  
• Allow Mana Potions
  
• Allow other Potions (speed for example)
  
• Wipe Buffs (will be implemented in a future patch)
  
• Wipe Blackface (will be implemented in a future patch)
  
• Battle time (2:30 - 10:00)
  
• StandBy time (5sec - 20sec)
  
• Boundary (duel area: 20 - 80 units)
  
• Bet (0-100Gold, winner receives everything)
  

2. Level Reward Treasures
- All new characters now receive a level-up treasure which can be opened with lvl 5,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90
- They include temporary upgraded weapons, 3200BP, 46Tinctures, 140Master Formula, 100 Upgrade Potions, 36 Documents, 3 2nd Battle Entrances and more.
- Box-Content is a matter of change in the upcoming patch
- Players which are not yet level 90 receive a box in their range within 72 hours via letter

1. Potential fix for ranged shots coming delayed or not at all (sadly, we are not able to test it since it required a lot of involved players and high RNG)
   
2. Fixed spawning of multiple Mounts (via effect change for example)
   
3. Fixed a client-side memory leak when upgrading armor in Champions of Glory
   

The great feast of Eastermania has long been celebrated by all the Iberians.
On this joyous day, it is customary for Gods to hide Easter Eggs over Iberia.

We are just as sad that we couldn't bring all the features we wanted to get with this patch, but we wanted at least a minor patch to accommodate the easter celebrations.
The announced features are mostly done but could need another one to two weeks of development before we are happy to release them.
This is more of an easter patch to show that we're indeed still working.

As mentioned in the foreword, we now want to split patches into smaller patches to bring one to two patches per month with a focus on certain things.
A focus could be the finalization (rewards, new map, bugfixes, and auto-queue) of Champions of Dragonrod, the rework of the entire battle loot and monster loot, the mission war rework, the spooky war system rework, matchmaking (aka playgrounds) and many more.
The plan is to focus on one to two bigger things per patch paired with more minor suggestions from our discord.

We hope you are all as excited as we are about the upcoming changes to 4Ancient.
