Rebirth Changes

The rebirth has been completely detached from the "An Alternate Fate" quest; players will no longer have to complete the quest in order to receive a rebirth from Queen Yvonne. We felt that requiring two additional players in order to rebirth, coupled with the fact that these same players would not be able to help other players after getting their level reset, felt like a hard stop to solo character progression. The "An Alternate Fate" quest will still provide its item rewards (Final Showdown Insignia, Shatter Bolt, and Kyanite Armor).

The max rebirth limit has been increased to 20 and each subsequent rebirth will result in slightly slower experience gain. Players will additionally gain 15 levels worth of base hp/mana per rebirth. Players will still receive all of the previous benefits from rebirthing as well.

Void Invaders, Void Realms & Cursed Charms



Void Invaders are a new type of mini-boss raids on Cyntara that come in 6 different flavors. You can find portals to their domains randomly in all spawns in Cyntara. The difficulty of the Void Invader will be scaled according to the spawn level. The objective is to find and defeat at least 4 Void Invaders in order to be granted access to the Void Realm. Void Realms are dungeon-like instances that can be entered through the south part of the teleport room either solo or in a party of up to 4 players; only the realm progression of the leader will be consumed upon entry so that players can do party-wise rotations. The difficulty of monsters and the boss automatically scales depending on the Void Realm level as well as the party size. Upon completion, players will be rewarded with a Cursed Charm.

Cursed Charms are a new type of charms on Cyntara that are exclusive drops from the Void Realms. Players can only ever equip a single Cursed Charm at a time however they can be mixed with regular charms. Cursed Charms come in three tiers: Magic, Rare and Mythic which dictate the number of stat modifiers a charm can receive. The rarity weights depend on the Void Realm level, with Magic charms being more common for lower level Void Realms and Mythic being more common for higher level Void Realms. The Cursed Charms also have an item level that's inherited from the Void Realm level which dictates the type of stats the charm can roll as well as the stat values. A Cursed Charm can have a maximum of 2 prefix stats and 2 suffix stats (Mythic tier); the possible combination of Cursed Charms that a player can obtain are plentiful. Additionally, unwanted Cursed Charms can be sacrificed to contribute towards your next Void Realm level.

Hall of Heroes

The first players of every season that accomplish certain feats will now have their name immortalized on Cyntara forever. Upon completion of the feat, the player name will be etched onto a statue in the Hall of Heroes where it will persist through future seasons.

Inventory Changes

As with any large content updated, the stats of many, many items have been adjusted. Some notable changes include:

» Items obtained from quests are now more valuable compared to items obtained from monster spawns.
» Gill Boots and Spellbook of Vigilance have been added to Gnomission's store.
» Gill and Prismatic equipment from the Warzones now provide increased damage vs. bosses.
» Inquisition quest rewards now provide the highest value of death protection.
» Deepling boss equipment boast increased boss damage reduction and endurance.
» The Four Swords Quest rewards have been adjusted; you are now rewarded with a charm (Holy Scarab, Holy Falcon, Holy Tible, or the Holy Serpent Crest).
» Three new sets added: Battlemage set, Amethyst Palladium set, Demolisher set.

Monster Spawn Changes



Version 12 features an extensive overhaul to monster spawns. A plethora of existing spawns had their level requirement adjusted. For example, Elves are now a level 250 hunting spawn and features a new creature, the Elf Pyromancer. Also, pirates are now a level 300 hunting spawn with two new creatures, the Pirate Ghost and Pirate Skeleton. These examples are only a small tidbit of the many spawn that were adjusted. We believe that these spawn adjustments will diversify the hunting spawns available to players.

A keen eye was given toward balancing monsters. Players will notice that the speed, damage, experience, and mechanics of each spawn was adjusted. One example is that the underwater walking speed was increased significantly. Another, that the Maze of Lost Souls that was required to gain access to hunt Warlocks was removed. The level requirements to hunt deeper within the Serpent Spawn and Wyrm spawns were removed. Mechanics such as creatures running away, attacking abilities, such as drunk and AoE manadrain, were also adjusted. Behemoths were removed from the Cyclops spawn, Dragon Lords were removed from the Dragon spawn, Ancient Scarabs will drop Scarab Coins for the HotA quest are of a few notable examples.

Finally, we are pleased to announce that v12 will feature seven new spawns:
    » [Level 400] Ancient Scarabs
    » [Level 500] Lava Dragons
    » [Level 500] Crystal Dragons
    » [Level 600] Infernal Battlemages
    » [Level 800] Ogres
    » [Level 900] Insectoids
    » [Level 1000 - Rebirth 2] Demonborn Valley.

Of these seven spawns, four of these spawns are geared towards team hunting. Mentioning team hunting, we have balanced the already existing team hunting spawns including Demons, Legendary Warriors, Mad Mages, Ice Miners and the Arid Plateau, along with the new team hunting spawns, Crystal Spiders, Behemoths, Lava Dragons, Crystal Dragons, Ogres, and the Demonborn Valley. We believe these changes will encourage players to team hunt in both early game and late game. Along with these new hunting spawns, the Pits of Inferno bosses were added to their respective seals including - The Handmaiden, The Plasmother, The Imperor, Mr. Punish, Massacre, Countess Sorrow, and Dracola.
