Another denizen of the Elder Woods has passed through the veil! If you visit Windmoore Town this week, you may encounter Professor Fang and his imposing companion! If you deign to speak with him, you may learn more about what’s to come.
Elder Woods Elements
Monsters throughout the Elder Woods are capable of inflicting various forms of 'elemental' damage! A potent 'Nature' damage is available to inhabitants of the Hollow Grove and Ash Forest areas while a deadly 'Shadow' effect can be applied by creatures in the depths of the Indigo Caverns and the Blue Abyss. An even more lethal 'Cosmic' type is possessed by the mysterious creature that crashed to Arlor in a brilliant meteor.
To combat this powerful threat you'll need equipment that resists incoming damage of these varying types. Fortunately, gear with resistance drops in the Elder Woods areas! Equip this new stuff so you have the best chance at survival.
Powerful New Weapons
A brief chat with Professor Fang will reveal his excitement for special new weaponry: creations that are in development at Rusk Industries and also available to loot while adventuring in the Elder Woods!
The Chain Sword
Comprised of numerous razor-sharp pieces held together with Arcanite filament this weapon allows the Warrior to strike at range. The blade unfurls like a steel whip to deal damage before retracting via an ingenious mechanism in the hilt!
The Orb
This class of weaponry spans a variety of types: Cursed Tomes, Demon Eyes, Forest Baubles, and radiant chunks of the fallen star's "meteor" (as shown in the .gif above). Sorcerers can use this weapon to fire powerful energy beams at multiple targets!
The Chakram
Rogues can wield this imposing pair of twinned razor wheels that fly to your target and then back to your grasp - dealing two (2) damaging strikes to your target! For use at medium range (longer than Daggers, shorter than Bows).
Much more information on this to come in the weeks and months ahead!
When can you pack your bags?
We hope you enjoy this brief preview of what's to come in the new Elder Woods expansion! We're hard at work behind the scenes polishing everything up and will have a launch date to announce soon.
