World Event: Storm of Bones
Driven by a thirst for power, Tasa'akh the Unbound ventured into the Valley of Bones in search of an ancient artifact – only to lose his mind. Now, the rogue mage lurks on Irselnort, twisting the island into a realm of nightmares. Heroes from both Alliances must rise against the maddened sorcerer before his corruption spreads across all of Arinar!
Stage I: Blazing Fury
The Mage's Guild of Almahad treasures its ancient relics, but not all mages honor the old ways. Once one of their own, Tasa'akh the Unbound has stolen a unique artifact – the Oracle's Staff – which carries a formidable power, whispering to its bearer. For the strong-willed, its murmurs bring prophecy, but for Tasa'akh, the voices brought madness. Now under the staff's influence, he has fled to Irselnort, spreading chaos in his wake. His escape from Nadir-Sard has disturbed the local elementals, igniting them into a frenzy of flame. Extinguish the uprising before the city is reduced to ash!
Stage II: Sandsnare
The Oracle's Staff continues to cloud Tasa'akh's mind with even darker thoughts, pushing him deeper into insanity. As he flees, he leaves behind deadly traps powered by runic stones scattered across the land. To survive the raging sandstorm, you must destroy the elemental energy locked within these stones. Fight off the furious wild boars – they're none too pleased with this unnatural weather!
Stage III: True Companion
The crazed sorcerer has vanished without a trace – but hope is not lost. The Mage's Guild has sent its finest tracker to hunt down Tasa'akh, a gifted hound with a nose for the scent of relics and curses. Protect the dog as it follows Tasa'akh's fading trail!
Stage IV: Tasa'akh the Unbound
The Oracle's Staff has fully consumed Tasa'akh, turning him from a man into a wild beast! Prepare to face the ultimate threat and defend Irselnort from total destruction!
Tournament Guild Event in a GvG Area: Treasures of the Archipelago
The blazing Lava Archipelago awakens once more, beckoning a new wave of adventurers to its shores! Will the warriors of Arinar claim the treasures hidden among the islands, crush their rivals, and survive the wrath of ancient horrors? The battle for fame and fortune begins now!
The mighty Snorlar calls on brave heroes once again for a guild competition! This time, adventurers must scour the islands for treasures and deliver them to the archipelago antiquarians in exchange for tournament points. But the path to victory is far from safe! Rare chests and ancient relics are guarded by the monstrous offspring of Volcano, and anyone who seizes these coveted treasures becomes marked by dangerous magic. Carry your spoils carefully – enemy players can ambush you at any moment and steal everything you've earned!
The only way to reach the archipelago is through the docks within the military camps, where ships set sail toward danger, treasure, and perilous battles. Passage requires a fee: a gold coin from a sack that can be found right there in the camp.
The islands of the archipelago are connected by a maze of narrow bridges and hide untold riches: sacks of gold, treasure-filled chests guarded by monsters, and powerful relics dropped by defeating bosses. Every trophy earned brings glory and strengthens your guild's standing in the tournament – but the most valuable prizes can quickly turn the hunter into the hunted!
At the beginning of the battle, guilds will face Snorlar himself! Defeating the lord of the archipelago grants a huge number of points and awakens three deadly bosses across the islands: the Spirit of Magma, Baldrazar, and Gorefiend. Although defeating Snorlar does not reward a relic, victory over him temporarily empowers the entire guild with extraordinary strength! Only the Guild Commander can activate this powerful blessing.
The Spirit of Magma, Baldrazar, and Gorefiend each carry a special relic. Once obtained, the Guild Commander must then deliver the relic to the archipelago antiquarians waiting on wooden platforms between the islands to claim valuable points. However, relics can only be sold on the opposite side of the map. If the Commander falls in battle, the relic passes into enemy hands!
Near the volcano's mouth lie the shards of Snorlar's fury, relics imbued with cursed power. Only the hand of a Commander can awaken their strength. While these relics grant no additional points, they affect the entire guild, providing powerful bonuses at the cost of constant damage. Their power is fleeting, so use Snorlar's gift wisely!
Claim victory by outscoring rival guilds and earning points through various activities:
Kill an Archipelago Martyr – 1 point
Kill an enemy player – 2 points
Kill a Volcano Spawn – 3 points
Kill a Molten Guardian – 5 points
Kill a Cursed Executioner – 10 points
Collect a sack of gold – 15 points
Loot a treasure chest – 50 points
Sell a relic – 250 points
Kill the Spirit of Magma – 300 points
Kill Gorefiend – 300 points
Kill Baldrazar – 300 points
Kill Snorlar – 750 points
Rotating Competitive Guild Raid: Shadow Beneath the Dunes
Disaster has swept across Almahad, plunging even the fiercest desert tribes into fear and despair. In their search for salvation, the nomads of the Golden Sands turned to an ancient horror – the bloodthirsty Jarak. Rumors of the sinister cult surrounding the creature have already spread far beyond Almahad's shores! Will the heroes of Arinar have the courage to face this monster in a new competitive raid?
Jarak is a beast that should have been destroyed long ago. Instead, the nomads of the Golden Sands chose to worship it like a living god. Countless warriors have fallen victim to their senseless superstitions, unknowingly offering themselves as sacrifices. Some were devoured by the creature, while others were twisted into parasitic creatures that now swarm among the remains of Jarak's feasts. To this day, no one has dared stop this horrific ritual or stop the spreading plague...
From the moment the battle begins, Jarak will emerge before the warriors of Arinar in all his terrifying glory. Strike the monster without hesitation – once weakened, the beast will burrow beneath the sands, opening portals to the trembling basin. There, raiders must face Jarak's massive limbs, each possessing its own deadly powers. Only by destroying enough of these appendages will you force Jarak back onto the battlefield. But beware – as the monster weakens further the portals will reopen once more, and Jarak's enraged limbs will return stronger than before!
Prepare your raid party carefully: higher difficulty levels increase both the number of active portals and the number of limbs your team must destroy!
Against Jarak, even the desert itself becomes your enemy. Starting at difficulty level 6, heroes will encounter quicksand that drains Mobility over time. As your Mobility steadily decreases during combat, your character suffers increasing penalties: each missing point reduces movement speed by 0.5%, Attack Speed by 0.4%, and Skill Cooldown rate by 0.8%.
The only way to preserve your strength is to keep moving! Traversing the scorching sands restores Mobility, allowing heroes to resist the desert's draining effects. Additionally, destroying certain limbs can weaken the quicksand's effects! Each raid participant can keep track of their current Mobility level using a special bar at the top of the screen.
Jarak grows stronger with every difficulty level, and only true heroes will be able to defeat the beast and put an end to the bloody cult! And remember: all mechanics from the Golden Sands of Almahad are fully active during the raid.
Open-World Guild Events
As the celebration draws near, the dark legends of Arinar's past rise once more. Only the bravest heroes will be able to stand against the encroaching darkness before it consumes the world! Complete the requirements to unlock each event and prepare to battle fearsome bosses!
Flame of Wrath
An ancient dragon that once guarded the Spear of War now bears the mantle of the Avenger. It bestowed its great fury and wisdom upon Berengar before taking eternal rest in the Hidden Sanctuary – but its enmity for Garahan was so deep that it found no solace in death and rose from the ashes as a fearsome bone beast. Lay this creature to rest in battle to restore peace to the Ashen Coast.
Deadly Stare
A spawn of Chaos, the Beholder was once held captive by Berengar himself. With his disappearance, the Beholder was freed and now lurks deep within the caverns of Irselnort, poised to wreak havoc on the island. Calling upon his kin in the Abyss, the Beholder has unleashed an invasion of Chaos upon the lands of Irselnort! The only way to silence his malevolent summons is to face the Beholder and kill him!
Lost Soul
In a time long past, the Demonologist's pursuit of forbidden knowledge drove him to the brink of madness, forfeiting his soul in exchange for immeasurable power. He joined forces with Sam Hain, but was ultimately defeated and forced to flee to the one place no one would dare follow – beyond the Shadow Gates. With the threat fading, he has reappeared on Irselnort, taking refuge in a newly unearthed dungeon. Only by meeting his end can the Demonologist's thirst for vengeance be quenched!
And remember, you don't have to wait for the event to face them – the druid bosses are always ready for a fight!

Interface Improvements
With Update 13.4, we're starting a major overhaul of the quick action bar, quick menu, and radial menu interfaces. The first stage of improvements brings refreshed visuals and new customization features designed to make the interface more flexible and allow players to tailor it to their preferences.
Quick Action Bar Update
After carefully reviewing feedback from players who participated in the focus group testing, we're ready to introduce the first wave of updates to the quick action bar!
Most importantly, you can now customize the layout of the Quick Action Bar to better match your preferences and screen size. A new display mode selector has been added under Settings → Screen → Quick Action Bar:
Adaptive: Automatically switches between one-row and two-row layouts depending on screen width.
Two rows: Always displays the quick action bar in two rows regardless of screen size.
Single row: Always displays the bar in a single row. If all slots don't fit, a toggle button will appear allowing you to switch between rows.
Спойлер

Interface scaling has also been updated and now features five preset scaling options that automatically adapt to the current screen resolution. These settings are available under Settings → Screen → Interface Scale and include:
Smoother scaling behavior
More consistent and predictable interface resizing
Proper aspect ratio preservation on PC
The Compact UI option has been removed from the screen settings. Players who previously used this option will now have the lowest available UI scale set.
Спойлер
Quick Menu Improvements
Updated the design of the quick menu buttons.
Added text labels for buttons in the quick menu panels.
Radial Menu Design Improvements
Alongside the overall visual refresh, we are updating how the Opaque Menus option under Settings → Screen interacts with the radial menu interface. These buttons will now always remain fully opaque, while the setting itself will continue to work normally for all other interface elements.
Additionally, radial menu buttons now properly scale according to the selected interface scaling settings.
Other Changes
Adjusted the attributes of Dummy monsters located on the faction islands, Irselnort, Ayvondil, and Almahad: their maximum health has been increased and now scales with the zone in which they are located, while defensive attributes have been removed.
Active game account links will now appear at the top of the list of available authorization methods in the Account menu.
Added the NPC Sage Al-Mu'alim to the Catacombs lobby, offering an ability shop that accepts Crimson Corundum.
Fixed a bug where the Study button appeared for talents within unavailable talent clusters.
That's all for now – but stay tuned for more details on rewards, gifts, and more changes on release day!
See you at the open test!
