Very soon Warspear Online 7.7 update will be released, it will be available next week and will bring a lot of long-awaited changes to the game.
Lately the dwellers of Arinar were concerned - they were scared of strange noises coming from the bowels of the earth and then the earth started to tremble at night as if from fear. No one understood what was going on - whether to leave their homes and escape from the impending cataclysm or wait for a miracle that will bring long-awaited changes in their lives? Another powerful concussion of the earthen depths caused great damage to the library building, almost turning it into ruins. The young warriors found on the ruins a dusty book with ancient predictions in which the great sages described the emergence of a new and completely unexplored force that touches everyone.
The great magician Berengar has imprisoned, in the depths of the earth's bowels under Irselnort, not only the forces of Chaos, that once tried to break into Arinar, but also something no less powerful, which would try to break out into the world and balance the forces of the opponents in an endless confrontation.
What kind of hidden power is waiting for warriors? What abilities will they be bestowed with?
Answers to these and other questions are waiting for you in update 7.7.
So, it is time to add new expert skills for all classes. Due to numerous requests in this update existing skills will be significantly revised and improved and craft professions will be updated. Changes will touch the Arena too: new awards for the Arena Season and much more await you!
We will tell you about the main innovations right now, and you will learn the remaining details on the day of the update release.
