Grind efficiently regardless of your class
You know you can’t level up quickly without a mage or a priestess, right?
Wrong!
Characters were fully rebalanced to perform similarly PvE-wise, meaning you’ll be able to grind efficiently regardless of your class and party size — even if you are a party of one.
You deserve to play any character you want at any time you want, and Pristontale EU’s Season 5 will ensure you do that like no other Pristontale ever allowed you.
“So are all classes the same now?!”
No just similar, Mages will always be the grinding kings, for instance, but that doesn’t mean your melee will be 80% less effective just because it doesn’t have a staff.
As long as you are willing to take some risks and show off your grinding skills, any character you pick will be at a 20% EXP range in relation to any other. Just pick the hero you love and do your best with it!
Rewarding Active Players
Season 5 is tackling “AFK PLAY” with another round of complete monster & character rebalancing — enabling active, skillful players to compete better against long playtime sessions.
The most noticeable change is that all maps from Greedy Lake and above now have ranged mobs with a higher range than self-centered skills such as Diastrophism and Divine Lightning. Demi-bosses (the biggest, rarest mob on the map) are also tougher and stronger than ever, also dealing AoE damage to idle party players.
This gives room for a new playing style: the chaser, who is responsible for upkeeping the party’s EXP/H by taking down ranged mobs and protecting teammates from demi-bosses.
Actually, chasers with a full 1v1 build can get so strong that they can speed up their parties’ EXP without ever casting a single AoE skill. Your power will be over 9000!
“So my mage/priestess is now useless?!”
Both remain the best grinding classes in the game, but you can only reach your peak performance if you are willing to use Chain Lightning and Meteor, for instance, which are stronger than never before.
All these changes mean is that targetting skills should always be favored (Rage of Zekran, Gust Slash, etc.) if you want to reach your char’s peak performance.
Unique Update: Item Affixes
EU was already known for the unique item rarity update, but we now took Priston Tale’s items to a whole new level by bringing affixes to your gear!
Affixes are simply prefixes and suffixes around your items’ names that bring unique stats to them, for instance:
Affixes come in a variety of TWO HUNDRED names, stats, and tiers that vary according to your item’s type and rarity, meaning you will be able to make all sorts of combinations to improve your character — be it more defensive stats for your glass cannon or increased damage for your tank Mech.
Ps: affixes won’t be available to the main items (weapons, armors, etc.) because we still need to learn about their impact on the economy and potential power creep. Make sure you share your opinions with us often so we learn how to improve the system for complete release!
New Feature: Companions
Hopies always had a special place in our hearts, but they can now have a special place in our parties!
Companions are small pets that will follow you on your journey, but that’s not all: they also increase your char’s weight capacity, allowing you to make more gold than ever.
You can also customize your pet with premium skins and a nickname of your choice — but if that isn’t enough for you, just grind to level 102 and we’ll give you a hot pet skin as S5’s seasonal reward.
New Stats Formula
This season you will be able to make ~+30% EXP/H if you bet on the right stats!
Our whole new stats formula will reward you for soaking offensive stats instead of HP, meaning the more skillful you are, the higher your chances of leading S5’s player ranks.
“My assassin/archer will be one-shot every time now!”
No way! We rebalanced every single monsters’ AoE and ranged attacks so ranged characters can play safely. King Fury, for instance, can no longer reach archers and atalantas with his AoE spell. Bosses’ attacks were also rebalanced to prevent the dread one-shots, allowing you to endure their hits even if you don’t have a single Health point. (This doesn’t mean you won’t need a defensive mix to endure the hit, though.)
We believe this is by far the most thorough stats formula in Priston’s history, so we can’t wait to get your feedback and start working on the second phase of the stats rework!
Redesigned Pikeman, Assassin, and Shaman
Pikes are making a major return thanks to rebalanced defensives stats and a whole new way to play: the frozen tornado combo!
The classic Ground Pike skill has been reworked to reach up to 800% damage + 10-second freeze, meaning you will be able to defend yourself and your teammates while spinning to win like never before.
Assassin Mastery and Advent of Midranda are also bringing a revolutionary change: speeding up Assassin and Shaman’s skills for higher and safer DPS.
This will enable you to play a highly effective 1v1 build with your Assassin, while also slicing groups of mobs with quick Gust Slashes. Shamans’ Mourning Pray and Dark Wave are also much faster now, turning them into viable skills regardless of your level.
New Travelling System: The Astral Boat
The legendary Newter, alleged creator of the Warp Gates, just released his brand new invention: the Astral Boat!
Powered by the Valley of Tranquillity’s magic crystals, the Astral Boat will take you to distant places Warps can’t take you, such as..:
Oasis
Frozen Sanctuary
Cursed Temple
Acacia Forest
Forest Of Spirits
Cursed Land

Other changes
1) King Fury is no longer level 95, but 90. This is an important change since difficulty scales a lot from Lv 89 onwards, giving players an extra incentive to grind their seasonal titles.
2) Due to complaints regarding quest duration, we revised the requirements of every single quest to ensure you complete your missions at a fair pace, away from the unbelievable boredom of a 600-kills quest.
3) SoD mobs’ range has been rebalanced in an attempt to halt some chars’ inherent advantage, such as endlessly Divine Lightninging monstera at the center of the arena.
4) The flinch chance of all skills have been rebalanced to improve gameplay and risk-taking builds. Pikemen and Assassins, for instance, have fewer odds of being hit as long as they attack constantly.
5) Gallubia Valley’s shop now sells Ice resistance flasks to keep your body warm regardless of the snowy attacks, reducing slow effects on your character.
6) All group effects — be it a party buff or healing — were reduced by at least 50%. The cut, though, won’t apply to the caster, e.g.: Knight’s Holy Body heals him even more than before, but party members only get half the effect.
7) The premium shop now has a new tab called World Buffs, where you can activate a 1h buff (EXP, MP, drops, etc.) to all players in the server, gaining a competitive edge and prestige with the community.
