Cyntara v16 will launch on February 16, 2024 at 4 PM EST (10 PM GMT+1).

Diabolic Gateways



Diabolic Gateways are a brand new feature similar to Cursed Chests to bring more variety to your hunt; upon killing non-boss monsters of all levels, players will be able to encounter Diabolic Gateway portals.
Once a Gateway appears, you must stand inside the Gateway until the countdown elapses; if successfully completed, a number of Diabolic monsters of the same spawn type will emerge.
Successfully defeating the Diabolic monsters will grant players a significant buff to Health Regen, Mana Regen, Damage Dealt, Damage Reduction, Luck and Movement Speed for the next 60 seconds.

Spawns

• Removed the Demonborn Valley (1400) spawn.
• Added the Serpentine Tunnels (1400) spawn.
• Added the Torture Chambers (1700) spawn.
• Added the Tomb of the Undertaker (2100) spawn.
• Added the Imperial Crypts (2200) spawn.

Artifact Spells

The Artifact spells have been reworked and no longer require the Artifact Weapons and instead are available much earlier to make the early and mid-game more engaging; they are still upgradable through the Artifact Talent system which requires the Artifact Weapon to be acquired first.
Additionally, new Artifact Spells with over-time effects have been added. The Artifact Spells now also have to be learned by completing a new multi-stage mini quest available in the Teleport Room.

• The spells now are duration-based instead of tick-based to make it easier to balance the cooldown/duration/tick rate relationship. All of the damage-over-time Artifact Spells now have a base duration of 4 minutes and a base cooldown of 6 minutes. The duration can be increased to 5 minutes through Artifact Talents, and the remaining cooldown can be further reduced through the Cooldown Reduction stat.
• Removed the Healing Totem and Rejuvenation spells.
• Artifact Spells over-time effects are now stopped upon entering PvP combat.
• Artifact spells now have the following level requirements:
  
  • Level 150
    
    • MS: Shocking Pulse
    • ED: Freezing Pulse
    • RP: Fist of the Heavens
    • EK: Cleave
  • Level 300
    
    • MS: Meteor Shower, Thunder Storm
    • ED: Ice Spears (* new *), Ice Barrage
    • RP: God's Wrath

    • MS: Armageddon (* new *)
    • ED: Blizzard (* new *)
    • RP: Rain of Arrows (* new *)
    • EK: Blade Vortex
  • Level 600
    
    • MS/ED: Mirror Image (the Mirror Image spells have been adjusted)
    • RP: Mirage Archer (the Mirage Archer spells have been adjusted)
    • EK: Shadow Warrior (* new *)
  • Level 700 (these spells do not need to be learned)
    
    • MS: Transcend
    • ED: Nature's Boon, Grove Guardian
    • RP: Holy Devotion
    • EK: Fortitude, Brambles

Trial of Valor



Cyntara v16 brings another World Boss challenge for Cyntarists. The Trial of Valor is a two-stage World Boss accessible through the Holy Bishop spawn.

Demon Prison



A new level 1000 quest has been added that allows players to face one of 4 new bosses. Each entry to the boss arena requires a Demon Prison Cell Key. Demon Prison Cell Keys can be obtained from end-game raids with a relatively low chance.
Each of the different bosses in the Demon Prison has a small chance to drop different pieces of Kyanite, Starbringer and High Noble items - giving players an extra chance to acquire these items while targeting the piece(s) that they are missing.

Titles



Titles are accolades that players can earn by reaching various difficult in-game milestones. Titles are displayed in the game window above the character name and can be toggled on and off in the client options.
Titles are account-bound and are shared across all characters on the account. Further, Titles are intended to persist between seasons and are not reset when a new season starts.

Quality of Life changes



Cyntara v16 also brings a few brand new quality-of-life features.

• Added party member tracking to the minimap (can be optionally disabled in the client options).
• Added a brand new interface for the !exp command; this allows players to see which potential experience bonuses they are missing.
• The Boss Frame now works for all non-boss monsters (can be optionally disabled in the client options); the current limitation is that it does not work with non-boss monsters that have not previously had explicit Boss Frame.
• The inventory UI now shows the number of available Enchantment Slots on the item sprite.
• Auto functions labels (Healer/Walker/Targeting) in the top-left corner on the client now always show and can be clicked to toggle the respective auto function on and off, additionally, they can be right-clicked to bring up the respective Auto window.
