[p][/p][p][/p][p]🚨 DOUBLE DUNGEON LOOT! 🚨[/p][p]💥 The dungeons have awakened ancient powers!
For a limited time, ALL dungeon loot is DOUBLED 🏆[/p][p]✨ What does this mean?[/p]

• [p]🧰 Each dungeon can drop 2x items[/p]
• [p]💰 Gold is granted directly[/p]

[p]🔥 Enter the dungeons and claim what lies beneath…
The depths are generous today. Don’t miss out! 💎⚔️[/p]

[p]
Monsters are blessed by the Polar Lights, dropping Polarlight Chests filled with incredible loot. But the real prize? The Polarlight Cape!

✨ Polarlight Cape – Power Unleashed:
This cape grants crazy buffs for 1 hour, turning you into an absolute powerhouse! But once the hour is up, the cape vanishes. Will you harness its strength before it fades?

💰 Double Your Gains:
Want more chests? Grab the Magical Polarlight Pouch from the Itemshop and boost your chest drop rate by +100% for 1 hour! During the event, you can use up to 2 pouches to maximize your loot and dominate the hunt!

Fair Play:
The Polarlight Chest drop rate is unaffected by regular bonuses, keeping the competition fair for everyone!

Jump into the action —don’t miss out on the Polarlight Cape and lead the charge in this epic hunt![/p]

[p]
New armor, new ore, and a big step toward clearer PvP vs PvE identity. 🔥
[/p][hr][/hr][p]

[/p][h2]🛡️ New PvP Armor Set (Lv. 87 → 97 | +10)[/h2][p]
[/p]

• [p]A brand-new PvP armor set starts at Level 87 and scales up to Level 97 (+10).
  [/p]
• [p]Craft it at the Shady Dealer, who now offers PvP-focused gear... at a price. 🥸[/p][p](Crafting this gear has a 50% chance to succeed.)[/p][p][/p]
• [p]Requires the new Ancient Armor Component, dropped by all bosses starting in Forgotten Dunes.
  [/p]

[p][/p][h2]⛏️ New Ore - Black War Core[/h2][p]
[/p]

• [p]New ore: Black War Core.
  [/p]
• [p]Can be mined in Fireland and Forgotten Dunes.
  [/p]
• [p]Drops War Cores, required to upgrade the new PvP equipment.
  [/p]
• [p]War Cores are required from +7 onward.
  [/p]
• [p]For veterans: this system works similar to Flamebreaks.
  [/p]
• [p]High-level miners will profit - shops will want these materials. 💰
  [/p]

[p][/p][h2]⚖️ PvP vs PvE Equipment Rebalance[/h2][p]
We pushed existing gear toward PvE and let the new set define PvP.
[/p][p]
Boots (PvE Buff)
[/p]

• [p]Previously: +5% Magic Resistance (+10), +7.5% at Hellforged +10.
  [/p]
• [p]Now: +5% Bonus Monster Damage (+10) and +10% Bonus Monster Damage at Hellforged +10.
  [/p]

[p]

Helmet (Hellforged)
[/p]

• [p]Now grants up to +10% Evasion and +10% Skill Speed.
  [/p]

[p]

Level 72 Necklace
[/p]

• [p]Now grants +10% Bonus Monster Damage and +10% EXP.
  [/p]
• [p]With Soul Quartz Empowerment: +11% Monster Damage and +11% EXP.
  [/p]

[p]
Crit & Penetration necklaces are now clearly PvP-focused.
[/p][p]
💎 Upcoming: a PvP Jewelry Set (Bracelet + Necklace). No new rings yet - current ones are performing well.
[/p][hr][/hr][p]

[/p][h2]🐾 PvP Pet (Coming Soon)[/h2][p]
A PvP-focused pet is arriving very soon. Stay tuned. 💚
[/p][hr][/hr][p]

[/p][h2]✨ PvP Set Bonus (Upcoming)[/h2][p]
The new PvP set will receive a special full-set bonus in a future patch.
[/p]

• [p]Extra bonuses when wearing the full armor set.
  [/p]
• [p]We will monitor mixing and may shift more power into the set bonus if needed.
  [/p]

[p]

[/p][h2]🏙️ Caratas City Rework[/h2][p]
Caratas City has been reworked.
[/p]

• [p]Some plant bushes are currently too robust and block movement - this will be fixed.
  [/p]
• [p]A few doors may still be unlocked... citizens will fix that soon. 😅
  [/p]
• [p]Maybe one secret door should stay? 😉
  [/p]

[p][/p][p] Feedback welcome! [/p][hr][/hr][p]

[/p][h2]🗺️ New Map / Dungeon Hybrid[/h2][p]
A new area is live - not quite a dungeon, not quite a map:
[/p]

• [p]No rifts.
  [/p]
• [p]Comparable to the old desert pyramids.
  [/p]
• [p]Designed primarily for high EXP farming.
  [/p]

[p][/p][p]
⚠️ Warning: later rooms are extremely dangerous. Recommended: group of 2 and tank builds.
[/p][p]
Class balance note:
[/p]

• [p]Mages benefit strongly from kiting here.
  [/p]
• [p]Each class has clear advantages - we will monitor balance closely.
  [/p]

[p]
Later stages grant more EXP than Forgotten Dunes.
[/p][p]
Bosses in the new area
[/p]

• [p]A Tree Boss.
  [/p]
• [p]A Stone Boss (very... Stein-reich 😉).
  [/p]
• [p]A boss room exists but is currently closed - it will open in a future patch.
  [/p]

[p]

[/p][h2]📈 EXP Hotspot Adjustments[/h2][p]
Due to monster replacements in a previous patch, some EXP hotspots in Forgotten Dunes were too strong.
[/p]

• [p]These have been slightly reduced to intended values.
  [/p]

[p]

[/p][h2]🧙 Wizard Improvements[/h2][p]
[/p]

• [p]Slightly increased skill area size.
  [/p]
• [p]Helps better match other wizard variant.
  [/p]

[p]

[/p][h2]⚙️ Performance & Visual Improvements[/h2][p]
[/p]

• [p]New NavMesh system for smoother movement and pathing.
  [/p]
• [p]Damage number display reduced: less clutter, smaller and clearer.
  [/p]
• [p]New small visual effect when you receive critical damage - see if you notice it! 👀
  [/p]

[p]

[/p][h2]🎄 Seasonal Cleanup & Fixes[/h2][p]
[/p]

• [p]Christmas decorations removed (no more city trees).
  [/p]
• [p]Attempted fix for the jumping moon when using Day/Night Cycle - please report if issues remain.
  [/p]

[/p][h2]❤️ A Very Personal Note[/h2][p]
From Level 80 in late 2024 to Level 100 in 2025 - honestly... what a year.
Things went up, things went down, sometimes frustrating, sometimes chaotic - but we never stopped.
[/p][p]
We listened. We learned. We improved.
And even if fixes don't always happen instantly after a report - we do take your feedback seriously and work on it step by step.
[/p][p]
This year we slowly but steadily grew - and yes, we basically doubled our player base compared to the end of 2024. That's huge for us.
[/p][p]
Thank you for:
[/p]

• [p]Sticking around
  [/p]
• [p]Giving honest feedback (even when it hurts 😅)
  [/p]
• [p]Supporting Inferna financially
  [/p]
• [p]Creating videos, shorts, streams, and content
  [/p]

[p]
Even if only a few players try Inferna because of that - it snowballs ❤️.
Without you, an Indie MMORPG like Inferna simply wouldn't be possible.
[/p][p]

Looking toward 2026:
[/p]

• [p]Level 120 update
  [/p]
• [p]Much-needed PvP balance
  [/p]
• [p]Final adjustments before Full Release
  [/p]
• [p]A Fresh Event Server, later merged into Main
  [/p]

[p]

My personal goal? 400-500 peak players.
That would already be insane...
And who knows... with a full release, Steam promotion, and a fresh server - maybe even more 💫.
[/p][p]
Even on stressful days, the nice messages from you who love Inferna genuinely put a smile on my face.
Thank you all ❤️.
Have a healthy Christmas and a strong start into the New Year 🎄✨.
