The new battle season has started!

Come one, come all! The bravest, wisest and noblest champions of the Sphere are invited to participate in the first battle season!



What is a battle season?

The battle season is a number of challenges that can be completed to earn progress points. Accumulating progress points will give you sets of useful or even unique rewards. For example, completing the first battle season will grant you a unique mount - and participating in it will earn you new magnificent titles, useful consumables, special elixirs, illusions, Ketam Ai teleport stone and more.

I’m in game! Where do I sign up?

Each of your characters will see an invitation window when you enter the game for the first time after the season starts. Click the “Begin season” button to join. Afterwards you will be able to access the season window by clicking the icon next to the mini-map.

What should I be doing?

Open the season window to see the list of tasks. Some of these challenges can be completed daily and some are available only once per season. The one-time challenges are arranged as quest chains (complete the current task to unlock the next one), but all challenge groups are available to you from the very beginning.

I want more rewards and challenges!

We hear you! You can buy a premium pass to access more challenges and receive additional rewards for the progress points you accumulate. Aside from that, the premium pass increases the amount of battle experience (i. e. progress points) that you earn. A premium pass needs only to be purchased once per season and is valid for all characters on your account.

Can I receive my rewards right away?

Yes! If you are bored with challenges, you can speed up your progress and immediately access rewards by purchasing levels (a set number of progress points) directly.

How long does this season last? What if I complete it faster?

The battle season lasts two months and contains 40 progress levels, but the swiftest players can access 40 more! Once you complete the main challenges you will receive a box every 5 levels and a chest every 4 levels on top of that assuming you purchased a premium pass. You can obtain differerent useful things from them.

Get all the gifts!

Good luck!

Discover the true power! The runic circle is already in the game!

The first major change is the introduction of runes and the runic circle. The runic circle is an additional window that copies 10% of the experience a character receives for its own development. Each tier of the runic circle gives the player one extra rune slot for the maximum of 13 rune slots at the maximum level.

These slots can be used to hold runes that will allow you to customize your character to match your interests even further. Additionally, you can always swap the runes out of combat - for example, you may use a set of runes to complete a dungeon but change it afterwards to prepare for a difficult siege or a heated arena battle.

There are currently three groups of runes with different bonuses and different means of procurement.

The first group of runes specializes on improving your character’s basic stats, such as strength and intellect. The formulas and the motes required to create these runes can be obtained by killing monsters out in the world or be awarded in the challenge (i. e. PvE) arena.

The second group of runes deals with secondary stats like additional health, attack speed or maximum rage. The items required to create them can be awarded for participation in battlefields or PvP arenas or purchased with honor points.

The third group of runes also improves secondary stats like critical hit chance or incoming magic damage reduction and provides short-term buffs like swift health recovery or brief primary stat boosts. The materials for these runes can be obtained from castle chests or purchased for dishonor points.

In the future we plan to introduce more runes and even additional runic types that affect different aspects of your character to allow you set up a unique set of modifiers and fully customize your character in accordance with your strategy..

Let’s talk about activating and slotting runes in more detail. Each rune in the circle has to be unique, which means you won’t be able to keep more than one copy of the rune in the circle even if their levels differ. For example, installing a rune of Strength VI won’t allow you to install more Runes of Strength until it is removed. Fortunately, removing or inserting a rune is easy and can be done anytime you find yourself out of combat.

Considering class restrictions (for example, your Paladin won’t be able to use a rune of Necromancy), your 13 rune slots can be filled with 49 different runes out of total 56 available in the game. Needless to say, the higher your character’s level and the tougher the challenge, the higher the level of motes and formulas offered as a reward will be. Right now the most powerful runic formulas can be obtained at the floating isladnds.

Once you create a rune or purchase it from another player, you’ll have to activate it by pressing the “Activation” button on the runic circle screen to enable its effects.


After that the rune will become bound to your character and ready to be exploited. If you like, you may use it to empower the activation of a higher level rune and save some runic protection crystals that prevent the rune from decaying in case its activation fails..


The rune used for empowerment will only be destroyed if the activation is successful. In any case, we’d like to avoid seeing too many failed activation attempts: every unsuccessful attempt in a row will increase the activation chance for the next attempt.


In the future we’re going to improve the rune system and try to come up with many new interesting combinations to make the customization of your characters as exciting as possible.

Let’s talk about the ways to acquire the very best runes, shall we?.

We have prepared a new adventure for the high level characters - the floating islands! The floating islands are a maze of the shattered Sphere fragments that ended up banished from the world during the invasion of the Nameless Ones countless centuries ago. The vile sorcery of the Order of the Deep Roads and its sinister magister is eroding the world’s defenses against the Void, and the forgotten pieces of the Sphere are slowly making their return.




The floating islands are a network of floating patches of land high above Emerald Valley, connected by portals. Some islands are unimportant and fairly safe, the others are controlled by elite monsters or even world bosses that guard valuable treasures.

You may access the first of the returning islands by using a teleportation stone in the central region of Emerald Valley.

The islands contain new resources, formulas and ancient equipment, but claiming them for your own will not be easy. The return of the time-lost islands heralds the return of the Forgotten Ones and their powerful servants. All of them have powerful abilities and surpass the opponents you defeated before, so make sure to prepare for new challenges and recruit a few dedicated friends.

Of course, you are welcome to travel the islands as you see fit. Chart your own course depending on your goals, be it hunting for treasure chests, collecting rare resources, taking a shot at bosses or preying on other players.

All of the currently available islands are bound to a chain that will allow you to get to the new world boss quickly or bypass it to make progress faser. More islands are bound to show up in the nearest future, bringing incredible wealth and even greater challenges.

Onwards to glory and new discoveries!

Oktoberfest!

Oktoberfest is coming to brighten your dull autumn weekdays! Take part in the Drinks festival in Sphere 3 and receive valuable rewards along with unforgettable impressions!


Visit main towns and capitals and fins there a special festive tent with drinks. There you can accept unique festive quests. Players, who've spent more than a year with us, definitely remember these beautiful Frau and their divine drinks.
Talk to Steward’s helper to accept the first quest.

First barrel!

Jump on the barrels to reach the top of the pile. The celebration always begins with the opening of the barrel. But everybody knows, the tastiest ale is in the barrel on the top of the pile. Who is the brave person to climb there and bring it to the bottom? It won’t be easy of course, but the reward is worth it!

All sorts of pleasure!

To get into the festive spirit, you should try all the sorts of local ale. To start with, collect them all and bring to the steward!
Visit every tent of your faction and talk to their owners to get a mug of their special beer. When you collect them all, return to the festive steward and bring him the mugs to receive valuable rewards.

Thievish visitors

We all like to drink a mug or two with friends during the holiday. But not everyone likes to return the mugs after that! It’s time for you to get tough!
Kill monsters, collect mugs, and the reward won’t be slow in coming.

New Tastes

Festive steward asks you to deliver special sorts of ale to the festive tents. If you don’t know what to start with, talk to the girls at the tents, they will be happy to provide you with some clues. Start the quest by talking to the festive steward.
Have fun at Oktoberfest, collect presents and get in the festive mood!

Good luck and have fun!

Exaltation

It’s time to dust-off the ancient scrolls and fight the otherworldy monsters once more. While the event lasts you will be able to find the entrance to Mirage in Cinderkrag if you’re fighting for humans or in Hellsong Tavern if you’re representing the demon host. Meet members of the Order of the Seventh Moon there and you will get access to their daily quests. Complete those quests to receive summoners coins and spend them for mighty relics, new summoning stone and other valuable goods.

Additional summoners coins can be obtained by fighting in the battlefields, opening the challenger’s rewards or with a certain chance loot from monsters. The chance of finding a coin is doubled for the owners of a premium account.

We wish you luck at Summoners’ Arena!
