2013-05-02 Content Update (119666)

[H2N]

New Content!

• New Elite Mines of Nordia dungeon now available for a Limited Time Only! Follow the signs in Stronghold to join the Premium back-to-back boss brawl today.
• New daily quest in Nordr! Talk to Crystal in the Crystal Caves after completing "Crystal Clear" quest.
• New daily quest from Grumble in the Jurn Woods, available after completing his initial questline.

Content Improvements

• All Nordr enemies now grant more XP than all others.
• Slightly lowered Health, Armor, and Damage of all Nordr bosses.
• Timed runs will now stay 'pure' even if you use XP or Luck elixirs.
• Elite Mount Spyr's Alpha Wolf Boss' Pack have a slightly longer respawn time.
• Elite Oltgar Keep Minotaur Boss encounter balance revisions.
• Elite Cyrstal Caverns Spider Boss cone attack and ice patch refinements.
• Added a Consignment Shop to the Nordr Stronghold.
• Increased how fast lower level characters gain experience (Levels 1-16).

Class Refinements

• The Sorcerer's Arcane Shield will no longer break after a flat 500 damage but rather a value based on the Sorcerer's Strength and Intelligence. This will make the shield much sturdier for higher level players but slightly less sturdy at lower levels.
• Noxious bolt 6m range upgrade now allows up to 6 targets to be affected compared to the standard 3.
• Corrected Bug with Rogue Arcane Weapon Blackbeard’s Hooks to allow its proc to properly spread among enemies.

[Lady_Pebbles]

Finally a decent fix for the mage Shield skill. Now we need our Heal and Curse.. And Lightning to be fixed a bit more.

[Valkiryas]

Wait? We need Pay for enter into the mines?

We are looking into this as we develop other things, it's not a fast process as there are lots of factors to consider.

At this time we're not planning a free respec, as the functionality of the abilities did not change they were just fixed/buffed to be appropriate given the progression of expansion, levels, and PvP

[Darko]

Rouge now has highest damage and aoe to boot :/ let the killing begin (rather continue)

curse definitely needs some fixing, heal sure, and lightning too. I see other mages lightnings doing fine, but my damage is higher than theirs and i do less then them on a crit. It's odd

[Haligali]

yarr, shield yarrr!

[Khylan]

woohoo! thanks for fixing Nox Bolt!!!

[psychoscream]
