Greetings, lords and ladies!With all the chaos and carnage of the spring nights festival, it’s time to take a breather as this week’s update will only contain a few changes and optimizations. New watchtower levels, tasty new items in the gift peddler and even a shiny new addition to the maintenance screen await; read on!
Gear from gifts
A new shipment has arrived for the gift peddler! You can now give your alliance members a helping hand with their equipment, and help them progress faster with XP boosts. Time to toss out those rusty old blades!
Equipment can be bought and gifted to your alliance members through the gift trader
If the player you are sending a gift to has no inventory space, the gifting will be cancelled so that no items are lost
There will also be XP boosts available so that you can help your friends get up to your level
New levels for the watchtower
Becoming weary of stealthy attacks from your foes, your guardsmen have decided to increase their ranks and staff a larger watchtower.
The watchtower will now be split into 10 levels, rather than 5
Each level will provide a 10% bonus to early attack detection
Your current watchtower level will be adapted to fit this new system (matching the bonus e.g. level 5 watchtower will automatically change to level 10)
If the Watchtower is currently being upgraded when the update hits, it may not automatically upgrade to the 'new' level, so if you want to take full advantage of these changes, it may be worth upgrading the tower before the update.
Other Changes
The maintenance screen will now have a button that links to the forums
Soldier banners for increasing XP gains will be available through the armorer
The attack planning screen has been optimized to display more effects
- Some Berimond tools will now give a bonus to Gallantry Points, as well as their regular effects
Let us know what you think in THIS THREAD.
All the best,
Steve.
