Cyntara v17
Cyntara v17 will launch on February 15, 2025 at 4 PM EST (10 PM GMT+1).
Please keep in mind that these patch notes may not be final and may still change as we are still 2 weeks away from launch.
If you have any feedback regarding the changes or want to suggest some last minute adjustments, please voice your opinion on our Discord server.

Siege Raid



Siege Raid is a special type of raid that occurs in a random city every 4.5 hours.
Players must first defeat the raid General to gain access to a Siege Fortress.
Once inside the Siege Fortress, players will need to fight through a horde of monsters to reach the Siege Boss.
Defeating the Siege Boss will unlock a random World Buff for 45 minutes, and players will also receive Siege Tokens as a reward.
Siege Tokens are a resource that players can accumulate to enable a permanent minor World Buff for the next 24 hours.
In a future patch, we plan to expand this feature, allowing players to use the Siege Tokens to enhance the spawns of their choice.
Please note that Siege Raids will be disabled for the first seven days of the season.

Riches Vault of Cyntara



The Riches Vault of Cyntara is an endgame mini boss arena that offers players a chance at significantly upgrading a number of powerful endgame charms.
Additionally, players will have a chance of re-obtaining some of the quest items for the purpose of corruption and gearing alternate characters, as well as some extra goodies.
Players will need to pay an entry fee for each boss attempt using the Vault Tokens which can be obtained from Daily Quests of level 800 or higher.

New World Bosses





Cyntara v17 unveils three new World Bosses, presenting daring adventurers with fresh challenges.
Confront Zarael, the Shadow Sorcerer, in the elemental realm of darkness, face the Weaver in her treacherous spider cave, or battle Skorpyron, the Crystal Scorpion King, in his frigid lair.
