Festival of Fire – Banish the Cold of Winter



Long ago, the moon vanished from the heavens. Snow and ice enveloped the land, until a powerful magician drove away the Frostmoon Demon Beast Thysdyr. Since that day, all of Taborea has celebrated the Festival of Fire in Varanas to keep this beast at bay. Melt the cold with the holy fires and scoop up some rewards.

Wishing you lots of fun in Taborea!

Patch 7.4.0.2901 - Festival of Fire and bug fixes



In the past, when the frost and snow fell and the moon disappeared from the sky, the Frostmoon Demon Beast Thysdyr would awaken from his sleep and cause destruction everywhere. At the time, the people had no way to stop him, so they could only flee. They would wait for Thysdyr to leave, then return to rebuild their homes. The villagers lived through this nightmare year after year, until one year at this time, a strangely-dressed traveler came to visit even though he knew the terrible beast would attack.

That night, as Thysdyr's angry roar drew nearer and nearer, the traveler sat in the empty city, quietly waiting...

The next day, the villagers returned to find their village untouched. Surprised, they asked the traveler what had happened. It turns out that Thysdyr was afraid of rune-catalyzed flame. This exciting news spread quickly to all the nearby villages. After that, every time the Frostmoon Beast awoke, he could only continue to hide in the darkness.

Many years have passed, and Thysdyr hasn't been seen for a long time. But every year when the snowy season arrives, people build a giant pyre and dance around it, throwing in rune catalysts. They celebrate day and night, and call the celebration the Festival of Fire.

Update: Off to Chassizz!



Patch 7.4.0 is here – and with it lots of exciting new challenges! Help the Hand of Balance establish a post on the volcanic island and face the Inexorable League in their final fortress.

Chassizz is the easternmost island in the Shataem Archipelago. The entire island is characterized by its unique terrain, which was created when the volcano at the center of the island erupted.

The island is crawling with dangers because it’s under the control of the Inexorable League, which rules it from the Celestial Spire. The New Pantheon lies within, well protected. Whatever they’re planning there must be stopped!

New Content

[h2] New Zone: Chassizz[/h2]
The island is waiting with lots of new main quests and side quests that you can play to progress your character.

[h2] New Instance: New Pantheon[/h2]
The New Pantheon is the last of our enemies’ hiding places. The temple was constructed with the help of the Naga and can be reached through the entrance deep within the Celestial Spire.

There are 5 bosses waiting for you there:
  • Czerkonis will put you to the test. Are you strong enough to pass the trial?
  • Lady Timata doesn’t fight alone: she has an army of her own children to fight beside her.
  • The Chassizzene Nex is drunk on divine power and doesn’t want to let go of it again.
  • Nekdar will use his entire arsenal to stop you from getting any further.
  • Zhargos’ ‘Experimental Body Enclosure’ will be your last battle in the Pantheon. Prevent a Chaos Storm from being unleashed.

Defeat them in combat and seize your rewards!

[h2] New World Boss[/h2]
A new world boss awaits you in the Entity Chamber. Be careful – the whole place seems highly unstable.

[h2] New Leveling System – Introducing ‘Peak Levels’[/h2]
While the level cap will stay at 100, there is a new kind of level known as ‘Peak Levels’.

To unlock them you’ll have to complete the quest ‘Crossing the Mountain Path’ from Leya Peak in Varanas. Once you’ve unlocked it, the experience points that you collect will be calculated at this new level.

Peak values are linked to bonus buffs for movement speed, gold and drop rate as well as attribute increases for your character.

The upper limit currently available is Peak Level 5.

[h2]New Gear[/h2]
As in every new zone, there are powerful items that you can equip your character with. You can get new pieces of equipment from merchants, quests, by crafting and of course, in the New Pantheon.

[h2] Temporary Catch-Up Servers[/h2]
Together with the release of 7.4.0 we are opening two temporary servers that will rapidly speed up leveling. So if you’d like to try out a new character or return to RoM after a break, now is the perfect time! You can find information about the temporary servers here.
