CHANGES TO THE MAPS
We've decided that Sea of Abyss 2 will cease to exist. The separation of Sea of Abyss 1 and 2 lead to only one of the two maps being used. We're also fully re-balancing and re-designing Sea of Abyss 1 and Heart of Fire.
Sea of Abyss is modified to focus on players who enjoy fighting hoards of monsters with their area of effect (AoE) skills. Heart of Fire keeps the original approach of being a 1 versus 1 style hunting map.
REMASTERED MAP DESIGNS
In co-operation with Nasione who's volunteered to deal with 3D modeling for Pristontale EU we've managed to produce the complete remaster of Sea of Abyss, Heart of Fire, and Ancient Weapon.Both maps will be as equal as possible in drop rates and exp gain per hour. This way you're free to decide which style of playing you prefer. While not being at a disadvantage compared to others.
A new buff named 'Sixth Sense' can be obtained by completing the quests in Heart of Fire. Sixth Sense will like the Third eye increases your odds of finding an extra drop from monsters. This isn't a premium shop item and is exclusive to players completing the quests.
FIGHT SUPERIORS
While active in both maps at a set frequency a Superior will spawn. The Superior is significantly stronger compared to other monsters and has an increased chance to drop items. Superiors open the opportunity to hunt them by traveling around the map. And are keeping the party sharp at all times.
Superiors also have a chance to drop extras compared to regular monsters on the map. This system is likely to be used in other maps in the future as well.
FIGHT TWO NEW BOSSES
Both maps will also have a new boss, Yaggditha in Sea of Abyss, and Ignis in the Heart of Fire. They will also have a respectable drop-table containing two new Boss Items.
Yagditha is a demigod, who came to rule the world of the Sea of Abyss long ago. Creating new beings by mutating marine animals, developing biotechnology combined with magic, Yagditha soon created an army. His enduring hegemony in the waters aroused in him an ambition to conquer the surface world. However, his attempt to invade the mainland failed, as his creations could not survive long on land. Now, having saved the life of the god Midranda, Yagditha intends to collaborate to create a perfect army that can survive both in the deep waters of the ocean and on the surface of the earth.
Ignis the Fierce three-headed dragon of Midranda. As a pet, he is always faithful to his master and gets extremely angry when away from him. Only a few of Midranda's servants can feed him and are able to contain his fury.
WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR CURRENT ITEMS?
Now we're sure that everyone with the existing 113 items is wondering what will happen to their items. We'll be upgrading all existing 113 items by 1 rarity tier. Meaning your common will be uncommon, uncommon will be rare, rare will be epic and epic will be legendary. This gives us room to increase the drop chance of 113 items a little bit to make the maps a bit more interesting. While also better utilizing the rarity system we have in place.
See you in-game soon!
