New ways to play are on the way! Threads will define your character's ruleset, including how death affects you and the types of drops you can receive. Were starting with 3 Threads, but look forward to introducing Event Threads soonoffering limited-time game modes for unique experiences! Thread of Discovery - Beginner or practice

• Use and receive up to **Rare** items (cannot use Epic, Ancestral, Mythic, or Exalted)
• Gain up to 1,000 Character Honor
• Keep items and blessings on death (a dedicated Thread end NPC has been added in order to cash in your character)
• No leaderboard

Thread of Fate - Current

• Use and receive all item rarities
• Lose and cash in all character progress on death
• Current leaderboard

Thread of Doom - PPE / Ironman

• Use and receive all item rarities
• No trading or receiving items from players
• Deposit only banking
• Lose and cash in all character progress on death
• Unique leaderboard

All current characters begin on the Thread of Fate. Additionally, any character created on a different Thread can switch to the Thread of Fate at any time by visiting an in-game NPC located in the Spirit Realm Temple.
Weve made a thematic change: Levels are now called Spirits, and experience is renamed to Essence. This new naming scheme reinforces the idea that youll be spending your collected Spirits instead of traditional Levels!
A new guaranteed drop has been added to all bosses: Spirit Orbs! When used, these orbs instantly grant Essence, allowing you to quickly return to the fight after spending your Spirits!
New ways to spend Spirits (Levels) are being introduced, starting with:

• Geridge: Upgrade equipment +1 tier (up to blacksteel)
• Yaga: +1 blessing slot

Bounty Posts have been removed, and their rewards have been integrated directly into the bosses. When you defeat a Realm Boss, the item rewards will now take your current inventory into account, aiming to provide an upgrade at the relevant level. The Quest system will return for Holiday events and NPC quests!
Bosses now require 3 nearby camps to be cleared before they can spawn. Additionally, the respawn timer still applies, but each camp kill shortens the remaining respawn time. To spawn a boss, youll need to meet both conditions: the respawn timer must have elapsed, and 3 camps must be defeated.
In each Realm, youll now find randomly positioned encounters in T1 and T2 areas! These challenging encounters, tailored to the biome, offer the best loot available. You can also earn new hats and unique drops from these bosses!
Select status effects have been divided into tiered buffs, with each offering 3 tiers of increasing strength:

• Speedy: +20/30/40 speed
• Empowered: +10/20/30% damage
• Fury: +10/20/30% rate of fire
• Armored: +10/20/30 defense
• Healing: +5/15/25 health per second

Unique and high-tier items now grant Honor bonuses, giving you a percentage bonus upon character completion, whether through death or by visiting the Thread End NPC:

• Limited: +2%
• Rare: +2%
• Epic: +3%
• Ancestral: +3%
• Mythic: +5%
• Exalted: +7%
• 20k Honor Items: +7%

• Wardrobe price change: 350 for uncommon, 1,000 for limited
• Reduced all class hp & vigor
• Reduced T3 & Overlord damage
• A Halloween event is coming this weekend!
• We will be watching the game and carefully listening to player feedback from this update. We plan to continue to tune balance over the coming weeks!
