Oh, it's cold outside today! Such weather seems to be created for a fluffy blanket, hot tea and magical stories about amazing winter adventures that await the warriors of Arinar at the World Creation holiday! Get comfortable, miracles are on the way!
The World Creation are getting closer, but the news from the Snow Boundary again inspires fear. The Snow Elves, White Beard's hard-working and loyal helpers, have been expelled from the Citadel, built just a couple of years ago. The reason for this was an unfortunate joke that the elves played with the stupid giants Yolasweinars. Their mother, the giantess Gryla, was furious and vowed revenge on the elves and White Beard. She fulfilled her promise by capturing the Citadel and driving out its inhabitants. If the Citadel is not returned, everyone's favorite holiday will be hopelessly ruined.
Who would have thought that the Ice Citadel would be under threat again! Remembering the incredible strength and agility of Arinar's warriors, White Beard again announces the Alliance Tournament.
Weekly Alliance Tournament “Yule Gifts”
Defeating Gryla will not be so easy, because after the capture of the Citadel, the giantess's loyal servants pestered the holiday island! And not far from the village of snow elves, in the center of the Yule bay, sits a huge cat - Gryla's favorite pet, attracted by the news of the upcoming glorious deeds of Arinar's warriors. Gryla's northern magic transforms feats accomplished in the Snow Boundary into warm sweater yarn that the Yule Cat loves!
To knit the longest sweater and ensure victory for your Alliance and a generous personal reward for yourself, score tournament points for completing the following activities:
Completing tasks (25 points, no limit)
Passing of rides (15 points, the limit of points per day is 600)

By performing any of these activities, you replenish both your personal weekly tournament points counter and the daily points counter of your Alliance. To receive a personal reward at the end of the week, you will need to score the required minimum points, and the more points you score, the more significant reward will be! In addition, do not forget that when you reach certain milestones in the amount of points you have scored, your Alliance's daily bank will be replenished twice.
The more days your Alliance has won in a week, the longer the sweater will be! TThe preliminary results of the tournament will be announced every day at 23:00 CET. The lagging Alliance will be able to catch up with the opponent, because for completing activities, players will receive from 15% to 75% more points, depending on the number of lost days!
The winner of the weekly Tournament will be the Alliance with the highest number of days won in a week. The warriors of the winning Alliance will not only gift the Yule Cat a new warm sweater, but will also receive significant rewards, depending on their personal activity in the tournament. And the warriors of the losing Alliance will receive an incentive award, the amount of which will also depend on the personal activity of each!
Regardless of the victory or defeat of the Alliance at the end of the tournament week, the most active participants in the tournament will have access to an extraordinary Route Store! Magnus will instantly transport you to dungeons and territory bosses for Crimson Corundums!

Holiday Quests
Even the most harmless joke can have far-reaching consequences... So the tricks of the snow elves so angered the giantess Gryla that she captured the Citadel! You have to find out the true cause of the giantess's rage, and also try to neutralize northern magic, which Grila is fluent in.
In addition, do not forget about the traditional winter fun and complete daily tasks: feed birds, collect sweets, get colored runes, open Krakatuk boxes, walk in the giants' cave and the valley of ice trolls! Stop by the “Merry Snowman” tavern during breaks or exterminate players and monsters in the territory of the enemy Alliance.
Please note that for a number of tasks the new mechanics of dynamically changing the level of a game character will be used. A change in the virtual level will be indicated by the color indication of the game level in the character widget and equipment slots, a special icon to the right of the character widget, as well as a hint window when entering the territory.
Dungeons
The sons of Gryla, offended by the joke of the snow elves, decided to teach all the inhabitants of the Snow Boundary a lesson, and at the same time the heroes of Arinar! They arranged tests for those who want to receive gifts for the holiday. The insidious children of the giantess have prepared a lot of traps and puzzles, and the last test, according to their plan, will be the fight with Moose Frodi!
Moose Frodi is half man, half moose. Taking gold from those who are weaker, he accumulated considerable wealth. But Frodi dreamed of something else - to gain glory in battles. Therefore, he easily went into the service of Gryla, who promised many battles and fun. Since then, Moose Frodi has been organizing competitions for those who are ready to challenge him and take away wealth.
First of all, think carefully about the composition of your party, because the monsters in some dungeons deal more damage than usual, and in the underground caves it is deadly cold! Brothers in arms will help keep you warm, as well as bonfires located in almost every room. Do not waste your time and solve riddles, but keep in mind - some of the monsters need your help.
There are no bonfires in the ice room of the boss, which means that the frost will be especially cruel! The fire trail that Moose Frodi will leave during his movement will help you escape from the cold.
World event “Chasing the Hare”
Ferocious giantess Gryla has quite a lot of weaknesses, and one of them is her fluffy pet – Yule Cat. The cat loves only 3 things: his owner Gryla, meat of snow elves, and warm sweaters. His love for sweaters is so big that he even lets anyone who wears them live! White Beard’s elves were quick to notice that, and they started to wear cozy sweaters, made from sheep’s wool, to escape the fate of being eaten. Seeing the sadness of her beloved pet, Gryla decided to intervene again, and she sent her servant – the Milk Hare – to steal all Snow Boundary’s sheep.
First stage “In sheep's clothing”
Dreadful Milk Hare and his jotuns-henchmen chased sheep into an enchanted barn, which means that there won’t be warm sweaters, and Yule Cat will soon come to feast on elves! Take as many sheep as you can to the portal to a safe place and be quick about it. But try not to meet jotuns, they are very dangerous!
Second stage “Impressive Art”
The Milk Hare has been serving the Giantess Gryla by stealing milk from cows and sheep on pastures for a long time now. The treacherous beast has escaped somewhere into the mountains, and it needs to be caught so that he doesn’t dare to attack defenseless sheep! But a path into the mountains is closed, and it’s being protected by snow trolls. Those amusing, but also very aggressive folk would not let anyone near their ice sculptures, unless they show respect for their art. White Beard’s elves think that building large ice sculptures will impress the trolls. So quickly grab chunks of ice and carry them to the pedestals. And if you manage to make something impressive, trolls will open the path and maybe even help in the battle!
Third stage “Snow Avalanche”
Snow trolls let us pass through their land, but looks like they need some help! The Milk Hare’s henchmen besieged one of the fortresses, and soon the amusing folk will be subjected to all the hatred of the tribe of the giants! Repel the mefit’s attack and protect the fortress from Snow Hulks. The latter are especially dangerous since they are protected by ancient magic, but firecracker of trolls will help you with that!
Fourth stage “Bumpkin Brothers”
Jotun’s rulers – Grumbler and Mumbler – love to fight more than anything else in the world. If no one wants to fight them, they will fight each other! Almost as much as fighting those brothers love milk, which the Milk Hare supplies them with – as a payment for their services. Both of them are threatening, but together they are twice as dangerous! This pair will not let anyone get close to their milk supplier, so you will have to beat them up!
Fifth stage “Flipper of Help”
The Milk Hare is close, but it will be hard to defeat him without the help of allies! Gryla’s servants captured poor Scrimsle – the guardian of lakes – and are shooting him from catapults. Quickly drive them away from their weapons and save Scrimsle!
Sixth stage “Big-eared Threat”
Here comes the Milk Hare! He’s a very dangerous opponent. Luckily, our friends snow trolls and Scrimsle agreed to help in the battle. Find the Hare and fight him – trolls will come to help if you build an ice statue, and Scrimsle will come to the sound of a magic horn. The Milk Hare won’t get away this time!
Restart time: on schedule.
Guild event on the GvG-territory “Ice Hunt”
Following the giantess Gryla, a herd of wild boars descended from the foothills of the Snow Boundary, led by Gullinbursti. These monsters do not serve the evil giantess, as they value their own freedom above all else. However, they are always ready to profit from something, and now sweets and gifts have become their prey! It's time for the strongest guilds of Arinar to teach the insatiable boars a lesson and return the stolen goods to the snow elves!
Gather brave warriors and descend into the caves that the golden boar has chosen as his lair! Defeat Gullinbursti and his minions and take back all the sweets and gifts they stole. Put the returned sweets directly into the bottomless boxes that the elves made especially for such occasions. Every guild that can do this will receive a glorious reward from White Beard. But remember, your rivals are not asleep, they also want to compete for the award!
You can prepare for the fight in one of the 4 military camps, but first we advise you to thoroughly explore the caves where the boars settled. Ordinary sweets thieves walk around the entire territory of the event, and the leaders of the herd, led by Gullinbursti, have made separate lairs for themselves along the edges and in the center of the cave. Also, in some locations there will be bottomless boxes that you need to fill with stolen gifts, but the boars will not give them up so easily!
Helping the snow elves is always a good idea, but how can you ensure your guild wins? To do this, try to score 1000 points faster than other guilds by performing the following activities:
Delivery of Christmas gift - 4 points
Killing one of the 4 bosses (corner locations) - 200 points
Killing Gullinbursti (central location) - 400 points
Please note that all monsters and bosses in the event area will have a PvP-status, which means they will take into account the player's PvP-characteristics. When dealing with normal or strong PvP-monsters, you get 1 “Christmas toy” effect for killing each monster. 12 Christmas toys are automatically converted into a "Christmas gift" effect, which you need to put in the box. And when you defeat an elite PvP-monster, you will immediately receive the “Christmas gift” effect. Keep in mind that each player can only carry one “Christmas gift” at a time! In addition, by killing the players of the enemy guild, you take away all the effects of "Christmas toy" and "Christmas gift" that were on the enemy.
You can deal with the bosses at any time, the main thing is to get to them faster than your competitors from other guilds. Special markers on the map will indicate the location of the bosses, and at the time of the death and rebirth of the bosses, messages will appear in the game chat. The score counter located to the right of the character's health and energy widget will help you monitor the progress of the guild. Remember that this is an elimination event and the guild that reaches the required number of points will leave the boar lair.
Restart time: on schedule.
Alliance event on dedicated territory “Stealing Gifts”
On the eve of the celebration of the World Creation, gifts prepared by snow elves become the most precious treasure. No wonder so many want to take them for themselves! In the holiday bustle, the Sentinels’ gifts were stolen by the Legion warriors, and the Sentinels managed to steal the gifts of Legion, but it's time to fix it! Gather as many warriors of your Alliance as possible, because it is impossible to move carts with gifts alone!
Gifts for the World Creation is a very serious thing! We have knitted hundreds of warm sweaters, thousands of hats and tens of thousands of socks. But they stole them from us! There is no time left to prepare new gifts, so we stole a gift cart from the enemy camp! But do you know what our spies there noticed during the kidnapping? Our gift cart! We cannot forgive this, the cart must be returned without fail. Push the cart well, the faster we get it to our camp, the faster we can declare ourselves the winners of the alliance competition!
Entering the territory of the event, you find yourself in the military camp of your Alliance. Not far from the camp is a town where a cart with gifts stolen from the enemy is left. But your goal is to return your own gifts, which are located in the town of the enemy Alliance on the opposite side. You can get to them both directly and bypass - through a snowy forest path or using an underground pass, which can be found not far from the road in the center of the map. Think over your route in advance to leave your rivals behind!
When you find yourself in the town of the enemy Alliance, start attacking your gift cart to give it speed and direct it towards your town! The more warriors of your Alliance attacking the cart at the same time, the higher its speed, so join forces! For each yard passed, your Alliance will receive points, and the one who scores more points or is the first to deliver gifts to his city will win.
You can track the progress of both Alliances in the competition using the progress-bar located to the right of the character's health and energy widget. Try not only to deliver gifts to the city as soon as possible, but also to interfere with the movement of the enemy Alliance cart in order to ensure an unconditional victory for your Alliance!
Restart time: according to the schedule.
Guild event in the open world “Giant Family”
While Gryla ravages the Ice Citadel, her greedy kids lead with lazy father Leppaludi stealing all the holiday treats and stacking them in their warehouse! Catch uninvited guests by surprise and teach courtesy!
A few days before the holiday of the World Creation, the most impudent of the children of Gryla make their way to the villages of the elves of the Snow Boundary. The glutton steals sausages to eat in his dungeon. Sweet Tooth steals spoons smeared in dough from holiday pies. The Honey Eater takes all the honey out of the houses, and sometimes even steals beehives with bees sleeping inside! The Sniffer is the last to arrive, with his huge nose he smells all the goodies that his brothers have not yet stolen and takes them. In their warehouse, the Yolasweinars, having gathered together with their lazy father Leppaludi, feast day and night. The elves of White Beard are so tired of the tricks of the children of Gryla that they are ready to generously reward those who help to strike a family of swindlers!
Conditions of activation: earn 5000 Guild Points.
Restart time: 12 hours after the event ends.
Yolasweinar the Glutton
The younger Yolasveinar is a rare glutton who carries around a bunch of sausages with him everywhere. He has wooden crutches instead of legs. How did it happen? No one knows...
Yolasweinar the Sweet Tooth
The most restless of the brothers, because sweet turns him into a real strong man. Sweet Tooth is constantly licking his spoons, and you risk getting hit on the forehead of one of them if you try to get in his way!
Yolasweinar the Honey Eater
A stocky Honey Eater never parted with a barrel of honey, around which a swarm of angry bees circles. Smeared in sweet honey from head to toe, he is constantly in a bad mood.
Yolasweinar the Sniffer
Nothing can be hidden from this offspring of Gryla! Thanks to its huge nose, it can sniff out fresh pastries from a surprisingly long distance. Also, the sniffer uses his own nose as a formidable weapon, and not everyone can survive the shock wave from his sneeze.
Leppaludi
Gryla's husband is the father of all the Yolasweinars. He is incredibly lazy, so he sits all the time and only occasionally gets up to take a new ham. Because of his laziness, the giantess's husband has long begun to resemble a bearded ball.
Don't forget that the Yolasveinar's warehouses hold treasures locked in ice chests, and anyone with a special key can take possession of them. In addition, the Gryla family does not know fatigue, so the bosses are ready to take on the fight outside the event.
Raid boss Gryla
It's time to meet with the main culprit of the commotion at Snow Boundary! Gryla is well aware of what feats the warriors of Arinar are capable of, so she will not give up without a fight. You will have a real assault on the Citadel, because the giantess is securely locked from the inside!
Gryla is a vicious and grumpy giantess who has lived in the northern mountains with her family since time immemorial. After the snow elves unwittingly offended the sons of Gryla, the giantess vowed to take revenge - and take away the most precious thing from White Beard.
Getting into the Citadel, you enter the lobby, where you can prepare to storm the fortress. Not too trusting of her faithful servants - mountain trolls and ice monsters that guard the castle rooms, Gryla enchanted the Citadel and closed the passes to her chambers with ice gates.
Feel free to destroy the gates to get to the giantess, and try to be faster than your competitors, otherwise your efforts will be in vain! 5 minutes after Gryla's death, a forced teleport will move all players back to the lobby. It will be possible to enter the castle rooms again only after the revival of Gryla, however, you will again have to destroy the gates, which will be restored with the rebirth of the boss! Please note that throughout the Citadel there is a ban on using the “Guild unity” skill.
Once face to face with Gryla, immediately attack, but remember that weakening, the giantess will call for help ice vortexs that can seriously damage! There are only two ways to stop them - kill Gryla or take the boss out of the fight state. Also, try to stay away from the giantess when she walks around the room, because every step she takes can cause serious damage to those who come close.
Rides
Where can the heroes take a break after a particularly demanding fight? Of course, in the Rides Park! There is much to be done: to crumble gingerbread men into dust, to lead the gloves army to a decisive victory and to take back as much gourmet cheese as possible from the despicable cheese-eating worms! Earn Good Luck Tokens, turn those in for magnificent prizes at the Souvenir Merchant and also, please do not forget to visit the Rides Park as often as you can!
Snow-Iced Slugfest (solo, for all levels)
The feud between the gloves and the mittens can't ever end, as both sides would say. This year the Glove People have formed an alliance with White Beard and they await his help. The fact is that the gloves are brave warriors, but they have no commanders. White Beard is ready to give Tokens to whoever can lead the gloves army into battle and unravel the cunning tactical genius of the mittens!
Cheese Run (solo, for all levels)
A misfortune happened to the white mice of the Snow Boundary - someone stole all the cheese they stored for the celebration of the World Creation! Brave mouse guardsman Mouseus has sworn to return the treats. He discovered that the cheese had been stolen by the cheese-eating worms - the old enemies of the mouse people. The guardsman has obtained Good Luck Tokens - he is willing to pay anyone who would dare to go down to the worms and bring the cheese back!
Gingerbread Surprise (solo and group, for all levels)
Treacherous gremlins snuck into the bakery and added something wicked to the cookie dough. All the gingerbread men turned into evil monsters coated in icing! Some of them were made as gifts for giants and because of that they are huge and extremely dangerous! White Beard will generously reward those who can defeat as many of these wicked sweet creatures as possible with Tokens!

Menu of Raid Bosses
Now information about the main villains of Arinar will always be at hand! With update 11.2, the raid boss menu will appear in the game, which will contain a detailed dossier on each of the available bosses.
The new functionality is located in the “My Guild” radial menu and opens when you click the special “Raid Bosses” button. Please note that information about bosses will only be available if you are a member of a guild!

Using smileys will now be much more convenient! Update 11.2 will include an improved version of the smileys menu. The new menu consists of three tabs:
“Recently used”: the tab displays the last 20 used smileys
“Unique”: the tab shows all unique smileys if the player has them

Update of navigation in menu
With the release of update 11.2, the control in some sections of the “Bag”, “All options” and “Settings” menu section will contain a drop-down list of available filters as well as horizontal selectors.
That's all for now, and detailed information on rewards, gifts and other changes will be available on the day the update is released.
To calculate the damage difference just assume physical damage is 1000 or 1500.
In this example with 1000
Before : 2 per level = 64 (level32) 64 + 100 + 1250 (125% of 1000) for a total of 1414
After : 100 + 1600 (160% of 1000) for a total of 1700
It is simple, in a minute there are 60 seconds.
Before : 10 uses of the skill for a total damage of 1414 * 10 = 14140
After : 6 uses of the skill for a total damage of 1700 * 6 = 10200
There are only a few days left until the celebration of the World Creation, which will come to Arinar with the release of the Warspear Online 11.2 Update! Very soon you will plunge into winter adventures and get acquainted with the mysterious inhabitants of the Snow Boundary, but we will tell you about this in detail in the second part of the announcement. Today we present to your attention a large-scale rebalance of character skills.
It's no secret that building a balance in a game is a difficult task, because in addition to caring for the balance of power, our team strives to diversify the gameplay and maintain the potential to create interesting game situations. Refinement and modification of existing mechanics allow you to experiment with different options for assembling characters and at the same time maintain all the conditions for a fair confrontation. And while preparations for the arrival of numerous guests are being completed at Snow Boundary, we recommend that you study the information on the upcoming changes in skills, because, as you know, you need to meet the holidays fully armed!
In addition to the changes in mechanics, we have also reworked the descriptions of most skills. Please note that according to the results of testing, some changes of skills may be altered.
Change of faction passive skills
Spirituality
Now the skill increases the maximum health by 4%, physical and magical strength by 2% for the character.
Concentration
Now the skill increases the maximum health by 2%, physical and magical strength by 4% for the character.
Mountain’s Power
Now the skill increases the maximum health by 4%, physical and magical strength by 2% for the character.
Devotion
Now the skill increases the maximum health by 2%, physical and magical strength by 4% for the character.
Developer’s commentary: Over time faction bonuses began to bring more advantages to some classes, so we tried to rework them to correct the balance of power.
Change of basic set skills
Sneer of Fate
Now the effect of the skill is not interrupted when magical damage is dealt.
The summoned monster now inherits the following parameters of the character: critical hit, critical damage strength, accuracy, attack speed, penetration, attack power, depth's fury, ferocity, piercing attack, physical and magical defense, resilience, resistance, dodge.
Now the summoned monster inherits the bonus to critical damage from the "Crushing Will" skill.
Deadly Illusion
Now copies of the character inherit from the character 100% of the “Accuracy”, “Penetration” and “Critical Damage” parameters and 50% of the “Attack Speed” and “Critical Hit” parameters.
Ancestors' Power
Now, while the skill is active, the “Attack Speed” parameter is increased by 25%.
The movement speed of the character upon taking damage increased by 25% for 5 sec.
Crushing Will
Reduced the maximum number of skill effects from 10 to 5.
The bonus of the character's "Critical Hit" parameter has been adjusted: from 2% to 4%, the power of critical damage and critical healing from character skills: from 3% to 6%.
The duration of the skill has been adjusted: it was 45 sec., now it is 30 sec.
Irreversible Anger
Reduced the maximum number of skill effects from 10 to 5.
The bonus of the "Accuracy" and "Penetration" parameters of the character has been adjusted: it was 2%, now it is 3%.
The duration of the skill has been adjusted: it was 30 sec., now it is 20 sec.
Thirst for Life
Reduced the maximum number of skill effects from 10 to 5.
The bonus of the maximum amount of character health has been adjusted: from 3% to 4%, reduction of any incoming damage to the character from monsters: from 3% to 6%, reduction of any incoming damage to the character from players: from 2% to 3%.
The duration of the skill has been adjusted: it was 30 sec., now it is 20 sec.
Added a delay for the accumulation of the effect: no more than once every 1 sec.
The skill now removes any debuff from the character every 6.5 sec. when the character's health reduced to 50% of the maximum health (it was every 5 sec.).
Developer’s commentary: Set active skills were not very popular in either PvE or PvP-battles. In this regard, we have strengthened them so that they become more attractive in both game directions. Although the situation was the opposite with set skills of permanent action, a number of problems and the excessive effectiveness of some of them were obvious. We've made it a lot easier to set the maximum number of effects, but at the same time we've loosened them up a bit.
Critical damage strength
The formula for calculating critical damage from all sources has been changed: now various modifiers are added together and added to the base modifier of the character. The final effectiveness of critical damage has changed from the following sources:
Passive guild skill "Guild Might"
Classless expert skill "Enhanced Critical Damage"
Great Relic of Indomitable Blow

Developer’s commentary: Paladin shows great dynamics in both builds: both magical and physical, so we’ve made improvements in both directions. The Paladin in the build with an emphasis on magical power received a significant increase in damage, while the “physical” Paladin got the opportunity to better realize their defensive potential, and both builds will now be able to initiate the fight even more efficiently. These adjustments should solidify the Paladin's position and make it an even more understandable and productive class.
It is also important to focus on changing the cooldown duration of the key “Chains of Justice” control class skill. This measure was necessary due to the excessive final effectiveness of the skill even in single battles, not to mention the ability to use it on a large number of targets.

Developer commentary: Due to its dynamics, simplicity and ability to deal high damage, the Seeker is still a very strong opponent and a real monster slayer, but at the same time somewhat one-sided. We've slightly nerfed the Seeker's main offensive buffs and made a number of major fixes to the second potential character build, with two-handed weapons. This build is focused on dealing DOT-damage through bleed skills, the damage of which has been greatly increased. A new combination with the “Attack Instinct” skill will allow you to effectively show your class in this build and in mass battles.

Developer commentary: In most game situations, the Blade Dancer is used as a damage damager class, and only secondarily is it seen as a tank by players. For this reason, we decided to strengthen the popular role of this class, allowing the Blade Dancer to realize itself much more effectively both in solo battles and in mass battles, as well as resorting to the use of different equipment and skills. We think that Blade Dancer's positioning as a high-damage class will only get stronger going forward.

Bitterness
Skill buffs can no longer be removed from the character by skills that remove buffs from the target.
Developer commentary: Ranger, being one of the most popular classes, caused a lot of heated debate about the effectiveness of a number of skills. First of all, this concerns the speed of damage in PvP-battles and insufficient potential in battles with monsters. With a ranged advantage, the Ranger is often on par with the melee classes. We have made the decision not to reduce the damage of the class, but only to stretch it out over time, which will make it necessary to make more balanced decisions about positioning and more often resort to the help of allies. If we talk about PvE-direction, then thanks to the new skill, the final efficiency of the class in such battles will increase.

Developer commentary: The Druid is gradually developing into a hybrid class, capable of not only helping allies, but also independently deals a significant amount of damage. We really like this position of the class, and we plan to further develop it. Some of the skills have been upgraded and balanced so that the Druid can more effectively realize the damage potential and choose different variations of the development of his abilities. In addition, we've reworked one of the most unpopular class skills “Invigorating Stream”, so that the Druid now has a permanent active skill in his arsenal.

Developer commentary: The Warden remained the canonical model of the tank for a long time, actually performing only this function. Since the one-sidedness of the class did not allow him to fully work in different game directions, the Warden did not receive attention from the players. We tried to refine the key skills of the class and fix a number of important bugs that hindered the development of the class. We hope that now the Warden will be able to feel more comfortable in the vastness of Arinar.

Developer commentary: Recently, the Barbarian has added abilities to their combat arsenal that greatly increase their offensive potential. Since this direction is showing great results, we want to continue the hybrid development of a class that can both take damage from opponents and deal high damage. The main task at the moment is to separate these areas so that the class does not turn out to be too strong. It's also worth mentioning that the Barbarian's ability to stun enemies with skills is no longer random, allowing the class to be much more consistent.

Now the physical damage from the skill does not depend on the level of the character: it was 2 pts. per level.

The skill no longer increases incoming damage against the character.
Talent " Shadows Veil"
"Shadows Veil" buff duration increased from 5 seconds to 6 seconds.
Developer commentary: The Rogue has long been able to get buffs from his abilities, spending fewer skill points on it than other classes for a similar bonus (especially the “Extermination” skill). We have adjusted this skill so that the effect changes depending on the weapon used, rather than giving huge stat boosts all the time. This should help delineate the two ways a class's damage is realized: auto-attack damage and skill damage.
It is also important to note the reworking of the “Stealth” skill mechanics. If earlier in most situations the skill was used once at the beginning of the battle, now the Rogue has the opportunity to use this skill in the middle of the battle, and most importantly, to use it much more efficiently.

Developer commentary: In addition to their potential to support allies, the Shaman excels at dealing damage as well. However, due to the lack of a damage limitation in the “Lightning Shield” skill, this class received an unfair advantage in PvP-battles. We tried to adjust the skill without affecting the damage too much so that this ability continues to serve its function.

And of course, the "Dark Shield" has been reworked - now for PvP and PvE the character will receive a different damage reduction bonus, calculated according to a clear formula.

Developer commentary: Many classes have their own unique features that make the gameplay truly exciting. For the Warlock strong control, including mass control, was considered such a feature. But since new mechanics and ways to counteract control are constantly appearing in the game, it was decided to develop a new direction for this class. Energy will be the new distinctive feature of the Warlock! If for other classes, energy is only a resource for using skills, then for the Warlock energy can now increase the attacking and defensive potential, as well as increase the effectiveness of control. We hope that this feature will take root in this class and we can develop it further.

For this reason, we have greatly simplified the implementation of combinations in the "Poison Spittle" and "Poisonous Shield" skills, and the "Dead Soldier" skill has received parameters borrowed from the character. We hope that these changes will allow the class to feel more comfortable and more stable in all types of the game.

After inflicting 3 \ 3 \ 4 \ 4 attacks during the skill, the enemy will receive a negative effect "Stun" for 1 \ 2 \ 3 \ 4.5 sec., and the “Black Mark” effect will be removed.
Increased the range of the skill from 3 yards to 4 yards.
Developer commentary: While it hasn't been that long since the Reaper's introduction, we decided to seriously rework a skill that didn't initially catch the attention of players. Now the "Black Mark" skill will allow you to accumulate the "Hate" resource from enemy attacks and use the "Demonic Appearance" skill, even if it is impossible to get close to the opponent. The mechanics of the “Unwavering Will” skill have also been improved, which will now work more effectively against control skills. We continue to collect statistics and feedback from players to prepare the necessary fixes to class skills.
During the test server, with your help we will once again check the correctness of the work of all changed skills. Based on the results of testing, additional changes may be made based on the collected data. We will be grateful for the feedback and active participation in testing!
Please do more research and post suggestions to fix issues you may perceive to exist, people can't take your post seriously if you give the impression of merely being salty.

Discontinued because I do not consider it necessary anymore with all the class guides
As the game gets updated with more and more skills these patches will get more common and it will be harder to find the latest patch for a certain skill.
While I would love to have a proper list for every single skill that would be a bit too much work.
Therefore I just tried to find every single skill change or addition since the update that introduced expert skills and, after looking through the changes, attempted to point out the most notable ones. Keep in mind that this is mostly my opinion making it biased (I play mage on elf side).
Also somehow I couldn't find the 9th expert skill addition so if someone could point it out for me that would be nice (or if I missed any important skill balance updates)
And if you think a certain update requires a special comment then you can say so too.
Thank you

I was going to try to discuss about it, but you seem like the kind of person who is so fixated into hating something that any arguments about it turn into an exercise in futility.
There have been many complaints but few ideas so here's some from me
(NOTE : THIS IS NOT MEANT TO SOLVE ALL ISSUES YOU MAY SEE IN REAPER)
But opinions would be nice
Evisceration
While in demonic form, either
- does a portion of AoE damage.
or - is usable from 3 yards and causes the character to move to the enemy in addition of dealing damage.
Otherwordly Boost (can be made into a talent)
The first cast in demonic form resets the cooldown.
Chains of the Underworld (can but shouldn't replace current talent)
Either
- at rank 4+ silences the main target for the duration.
or - if affected enemies use any ability they are silenced for the remainder of the duration.
Delayed Death (should replace current talent)
While skill is active, if the character would drop below a certain health, the character gains hate and immediately transforms regardless of hate. Demonic Appearance is put on cooldown. It can only happen once every 60 seconds.
Approach of Madness (can be made into a talent)
If used while in demon form or transforming during "Blood frenzy", the buff gives the character additional lifesteal equal to 50/75/100/125/150% of hate while in demon form (8/12/16/20/24% if at 16 hate). Duration unchanged. Hate can still not be increased while in demonic form.
Black Mark
"Black Mark" debuff causes target to take increased damage from the reaper.
All those issues with reaper puts it in the awkward situation where it's bad both in short and in long fights but still doesn't do enough damage in medium length fights to justify it.
Due to knowledge taking so long to farm and the talent tree growing I would suggest a system that makes it more tempting to return to the game or make new characters.
Old Player Bonus (Duration : 1 week)
Received by : Any character with at least level 26 after 2 months of inactivity (0 logins)
> 3000 free knowledge
> 30% increased knowledge gain from all sources (stacks with other similar buffs)
> 2x daily cap on knowledge for dungeons and quests (does not stack with weekly events)
New Player Bonus (Duration : 2 weeks, disappears when reaching level 21)
Received by : Any newly created character within an account that has 0 characters above level 20 (Mabye this should apply to any new character in general, but experienced players know how to benefit much more from it)
> 3x knowledge from story quests
> 3x daily cap on knowledge for quests
> Additional knowledge reward at level 10 and 20
Keep in mind these bonuses are not supposed to be too tempting, but feel free to give suggestions
If there's a similar suggestion already please link it for me, I searched for it but didn't find anything
Magic in this world has gone through many changes. One might still remember the times where magic casters had to settle on specific elements to increase their power. When Berengar’s Tower was successfully explored by the Sentinel and the Legion, they were able to uncover further secrets behind moon, astral, sun and dark magic that allowed casters to combine all elements into pure magic. Thus granting them the ability to focus on increasing the frequency in their spells as they were able to use any element to boost their magic power. The major side effect that caused the elements of spells to also be pure magic, allowing magic resistances to be effective against everything, is often ignored…
Let’s also recall when only the most basic spells were readily available, five of them and no more. Could you imagine that today?
But the fewest, if any, will remember when enchanted wands were the spellcasting weapon of choice. Much quicker to draw and cast spells with, their usefulness thrived in short fights. Prolonged use of these wands in a short timeframe demanded higher mental exertion from the user. No wonder this age produced many insane magicians…
Ultimately the staff ended up being far more popular, being easier to handle and allowing the widespread exercise of magic as the pressure on the user was lifted.
I read all of this one day while visiting the old archives at the School of Magic, where I also found a glass casket containing one of the aforementioned wands inside.
For as long as living people could remember, staves were the magic weapon of choice. But I always felt really curious about the past.
Unfortunately as I was trespassing I had to leave the room as the librarian would be coming soon, so I could not attempt to open the glass casket.
The portal combination that lead to the old archives changed every day, as is tradition. That time I got lucky, but even though the odds were against me, I felt the need to investigate again.
It was only a few days before a voice in my head made itself noticeable.. it felt my intent to return to the old archives and it was starting to fill my head with possible portal combinations and, as expected, it was only a matter of a week before one of them worked.
I opened the portal at a time where I knew all professors and guards were not around and entered the old archives. I immediately walked closer to the glass casket and found it slowly opening by itself, which urged me to touch the wand inside and…
It snapped in two pieces instantly… and I felt a breeze of…wind?
Almost simultaneously I heard a very faint “Thank you”. Confused, I quickly went to the same section as last time to try to learn more.
By using a spell that looked for the word “voice” in the books I found it.
Apparently there were rumors that during the creation of an ancient wand it trapped the magical essence of a spirit that was present in the area. The catalysts built inside the wands made said spirit remnants mostly unable to think on their own and put them at the mercy of the wand’s owner. Sometimes these spirits would still have a voice and mind, which made the wand substantially more dangerous, both for friend and foe.
While for staffs the new advancements in the creation of catalysts and the bigger size compared to wands made it nigh impossible for any opposition from the spirits, while also trapping up to a dozen spirits which would often hinder each other’s attempts at resistance. This is in part the reason for the differences between wand and staff.
As a lowly student there’s not much I could do, I just hoped said spirits don’t actually suffer and I certainly wouldn’t give up on magic because of this, but I did feel the need to write down this experience.
There are probably many more secrets of magic to discover, but that was beyond my current abilities.
What did I do next? I went to my Magizoology class, but not without first taking the remains of the broken wand with me, I still felt a strange connection to it…and if I ever have money issues, I heard merchants would be happy to buy this item.

Let’s also recall when only the most basic spells were readily available, five of them and no more. Could you imagine that today?
But the fewest, if any, will remember when enchanted wands were the spellcasting weapon of choice. Much quicker to draw and cast spells with, their usefulness thrived in short fights. Prolonged use of these wands in a short timeframe demanded higher mental exertion from the user. No wonder this age produced many insane magicians…
Ultimately the staff ended up being far more popular, being easier to handle and allowing the widespread exercise of magic as the pressure on the user was lifted.
I read all of this one day while visiting the old archives at the School of Magic, where I also found a glass casket containing one of the aforementioned wands inside.
For as long as living people could remember, staves were the magic weapon of choice. But I always felt really curious about the past.
Unfortunately as I was trespassing I had to leave the room as the librarian would be coming soon, so I could not attempt to open the glass casket.
The portal combination that lead to the old archives changed every day, as is tradition. That time I got lucky, but even though the odds were against me, I felt the need to investigate again.
It was only a few days before a voice in my head made itself noticeable.. it felt my intent to return to the old archives and it was starting to fill my head with possible portal combinations and, as expected, it was only a matter of a week before one of them worked.
I opened the portal at a time where I knew all professors and guards were not around and entered the old archives. I immediately walked closer to the glass casket and found it slowly opening by itself, which urged me to touch the wand inside and…
It snapped in two pieces instantly… and I felt a breeze of…wind?
Almost simultaneously I heard a very faint “Thank you”. Confused, I quickly went to the same section as last time to try to learn more.
By using a spell that looked for the word “voice” in the books I found it.
Apparently there were rumors that during the creation of an ancient wand it trapped the magical essence of a spirit that was present in the area. The catalysts built inside the wands made said spirit remnants mostly unable to think on their own and put them at the mercy of the wand’s owner. Sometimes these spirits would still have a voice and mind, which made the wand substantially more dangerous, both for friend and foe.
While for staffs the new advancements in the creation of catalysts and the bigger size compared to wands made it nigh impossible for any opposition from the spirits, while also trapping up to a dozen spirits which would often hinder each other’s attempts at resistance. This is in part the reason for the differences between wand and staff.
As a lowly student there’s not much I could do, I just hoped said spirits don’t actually suffer and I certainly wouldn’t give up on magic because of this, but I did feel the need to write down this experience.
There are probably many more secrets of magic to discover, but that was beyond my current abilities.
What did I do next? I went to my Magizoology class, but not without first taking the remains of the broken wand with me, I still felt a strange connection to it…and if I ever have money issues, I heard merchants would be happy to buy this item.
What magical secrets and untapped potential might you contain? Perhaps you are the key component on the path to further strengthening and therefore victory as intended by White Wanderer himself. Or perhaps you were created by the sinister trickster Sam Hain who needed to keep up the facade of his Horror Circus so warriors from all around Arinar would come to him. Or maybe you are just another trick invented by greedy merchants who made up stories of these signs protecting items with their magical properties.
No one knows but legendary warriors alike are willing to trade everything for them and hope that they help them become stronger and reach everlasting glory. Some even go as far as trading their own pieces of the legendary Spear of legends acquired many moons ago and passed down for generations. One can also aqcuire your bretheren by proving one's worth and help their guild prove its might by completing various tasks given by inhabitants of the vast world of Arinar and purging dungeons of their hostile infections
You are the stuff of legends but all these years since your discovery more and more have come into existence making others not as rare as they used to be and therefore easier to get one’s hands on.
Almost everyone has some kind of superstition about how to properly use your powers to gain the most benefit for the least amount of trouble and investment, and I am no different and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. You are really good at making warriors have a love-hate relationship with you and your kin. So much gold has been lost on false hope.
Maybe one day someone will uncover your secrets and bend your powers to their will but until then one can only wish for the White wanderer to be merciful and grant you his favor
The news about the upcoming journey to the unknown lands of the Chainless League, which appeared in the midst of the celebration of Warspear Online’s birthday, caused serious excitement among the folks inhabiting Arinar. Fearing that the successful conquest of the Almahad by one of the Alliances might upset the delicate balance in the War for the Spear, the forces of the Legion and the Sentinels called on the makers of peace. And again the gods responded to the pleas for help, breathing life into those who are destined to become the new legends of Arinar...
Spawned by the breath of Nuadu and the light of the star, the elves over the many centuries of their existence have become the true keepers of knowledge about the forces of nature, the boundless power of the forest and the tireless energy of its inhabitants. It is this secret knowledge, beyond the control of other folks of Arinar, that will become a guide for the new hero of the Firstborn. And in the gloomy habitation of the Forsaken, a new warrior of the undead army is preparing for battle, full of hatred for all living things. In the heat of his anger, this legionnaire is able not only to crush opponents furiously, but also to change his own appearance…
An ancient and deep enmity is the only thing that unites the Firstborn and the Forsaken. And it looks like this irreconcilable confrontation is about to flare up with renewed vigor!
So, it's time to take a closer look at two new classes! A full set of skills and talents will be available for each of them, so that new heroes can immediately rush into the thick of battle! In addition, the number of slots for new characters has increased by another 2, so now you can have up to 12 heroes on one account!
Sentinels
Beastmaster
The Beastmasters live in the wilderness of the elvish oaks, where they learn the language and habits of the wild forest moon monsters. The goal of the Beastmaster is to make a dangerous and powerful predator his friend and faithful defender. Over the years, Beastmasters themselves begin to resemble animals: they prefer simple hunting spears to a blade or bow. The main weapon of the Beastmasters is the sharp teeth of the tamed moon monster, who fights in the forefront, instilling fear in the enemy. Skillfully issuing commands, these beast tamers direct the fury of a loyal pet against the enemy - and it often happens that experienced Beastmasters come out of fierce battles without a single scratch.

Developers’ commentary: Classes that have monster summoning skills in their arsenal have long been an integral part of both Alliances. At the same time, the ability to summon monsters from the Druid or the Templar is an additional game direction, while the success in the battle of the Charmer almost entirely depends on the control of the summoned monsters. A new class - the Beastmaster will follow the trend of the Charmer, and this is not only about dealing damage, but also about survivability: if the monster dies in battle, then for a short time the character will become much more vulnerable. Hybrid damage and variations of melee and ranged combat will allow you to implement the class in different ways and choose the style of combat for everyone. And in addition to the skills of managing, strengthening and healing the beast, the character has in his arsenal both the skills of controlling and weakening enemies.
Legion
Reaper
The Reapers are shunned by the Forsaken themselves, because these gloomy warriors made a deal with demonic forces, wanting to gain inhuman power on the battlefield. Clad in heavy plate, the Reapers march in the front ranks of the Steel Legions, reaping the bloody harvest with their sharpened enchanted blades. But they become truly terrible when they take on a demonic guise: spreading their leathery wings and raising the horns crowning their heads, the Reapers burst into the ranks of the enemy - and there is no such armor that would withstand their deadly, but transient attacks.

The dynamics of resource accumulation is displayed on the indicator to the right of the character's health and energy widget. This indicator is always displayed, and its color and state changes depending on the accumulation or consumption of the resource. Information about the resource is available both for the player himself in the “State” tab, as well as in the widget when hovering over the target.
The indicator bar contains marks at 4, 8 and 12 units of the resource. When you accumulate 12 units of the “Hatred” resource, the indicator changes color from purple to red, and when the maximum value of 16 units is reached, the animation of the indicator bar is added. The transformation skill becomes available when you accumulate 12 units of the "Hate" resource.

Developers’ commentary: If we talk about the purpose of each of the existing classes in battle, then you can see that until now the Legion did not have a class capable of fighting in the forefront and at the same time inflicting increased physical damage to the enemy. Of course, in this context, one could mention the Chief or the Barbarian, but their main specialization is still different. Under this description, the Sentinels perfectly fit the Blade Dancer, which has high protection, resistance to control and even mobility, capable of not only taking damage on itself, but also inflicting it in response. The Reaper will become a worthy competitor in this direction - the new resource and the unique mechanics of turning into a demon will greatly diversify the gameplay of the class, allow you to strengthen the character for a short time and effectively use it in all kinds of game situations. An important feature of the assembly of this class will be the new mechanics of parameter conversion, which will create opportunities for unusual and interesting solutions.
Legendary achievements
Of course, along with the appearance of new classes, 14 new legendary achievements for each of the heroes will be added to the game! In addition to the traditional achievements for getting 18 and 32 character levels, getting the maximum reputation value with various factions of Arinar, as well as 5000 victories at the Arena in the 5x5 mode and 15000 victories at the Arena in the 2x2, 3x3, Temple of Seals in the 3x3 modes, added achievements for the first Beastmaster or Reaper who won 5,000 victories at the Arena in the Crucible in the 3x3 mode, in the Crucible in the 4x4 mode and in the Temple of Seals in the 4x4 mode.
In addition, the first representative of the new class on the server, who will fully learn 30 and 60 class talents, and also be the first to fully master all the talents in the “Ship Graveyard. Ayvondil” branch, will write his name in the history of Arinar.
Information window about minion
These faithful and reliable helpers have been fighting hand by hand with the warriors of Arinar in the most fierce battles for a long time. Of course, we are talking about minions who have repeatedly come to the aid of each of us in bloody battles. The developers are constantly working to make minion even more useful and interacting with them more convenient. With the release of update 11.0, the information window about minion will be significantly improved!
The new version of the information window will contain a description of the type of minion, as well as a list of skills that he has. Extended information about a specific minion skill will open by double-clicking on this skill. Also, new skills have been added to some minions, and the mechanics of some old minions' skills have been adjusted.

A new Season of activities will begin shortly after the release of the update! Complete daily and weekly missions, which are selected in accordance with the level of your character and get worthy rewards!

Pleasant changes have not bypassed the dedicated dungeon “Berengar’s Tower”! First of all, the parameters of the dungeon on easy, normal, hard and heroic difficulty levels have been adjusted: the recommended level has been lowered, and the maximum time for passing each floor has been increased.

In addition, the health of mini-bosses of easy, normal, hard and heroic dungeons have reduced, and mini-bosses also received new skills!
Improvement of the graphics of the initial islands
With update 11.0, the graphical display of some locations on the faction islands will be significantly redesigned. Graphic changes will affect the underground locations of the initial islands, so walking in the dungeons will be much more enjoyable now!
That's all for now, but more information about the upcoming update, other changes and pleasant surprises will be available on the day of the release. Let's slightly open the veil of secrecy and tell you that a new source of obtaining Knowledge will appear soon, so don't miss the release to find out the details!
Magic in this world has gone through many changes. One might still remember the times where magic casters had to settle on specific elements to increase their power. When Berengar’s Tower was successfully explored by the Sentinel and the Legion, they were able to uncover further secrets behind moon, astral, sun and dark magic that allowed casters to combine all elements into pure magic. Thus granting them the ability to focus on increasing the frequency in their spells as they were able to use any element to boost their magic power. The major side effect that caused the elements of spells to also be pure magic, allowing magic resistances to be effective against everything, is often ignored…
Let’s also recall when only the most basic spells were readily available, five of them and no more. Could you imagine that today?
But the fewest, if any, will remember when enchanted wands were the spellcasting weapon of choice. Much quicker to draw and cast spells with, their usefulness thrived in short fights. Prolonged use of these wands in a short timeframe demanded higher mental exertion from the user. No wonder this age produced many insane magicians…
Ultimately the staff ended up being far more popular, being easier to handle and allowing the widespread exercise of magic as the pressure on the user was lifted.
I read all of this one day while visiting the old archives at the School of Magic, where I also found a glass casket containing one of the aforementioned wands inside.
For as long as living people could remember, staves were the magic weapon of choice. But I always felt really curious about the past.
Unfortunately as I was trespassing I had to leave the room as the librarian would be coming soon, so I could not attempt to open the glass casket.
The portal combination that lead to the old archives changed every day, as is tradition. That time I got lucky, but even though the odds were against me, I felt the need to investigate again.
It was only a few days before a voice in my head made itself noticeable.. it felt my intent to return to the old archives and it was starting to fill my head with possible portal combinations and, as expected, it was only a matter of a week before one of them worked.
I opened the portal at a time where I knew all professors and guards were not around and entered the old archives. I immediately walked closer to the glass casket and found it slowly opening by itself, which urged me to touch the wand inside and…
It snapped in two pieces instantly… and I felt a breeze of…wind?
Almost simultaneously I heard a very faint “Thank you”. Confused, I quickly went to the same section as last time to try to learn more.
By using a spell that looked for the word “voice” in the books I found it.
Apparently there were rumors that during the creation of an ancient wand it trapped the magical essence of a spirit that was present in the area. The catalysts built inside the wands made said spirit remnants mostly unable to think on their own and put them at the mercy of the wand’s owner. Sometimes these spirits would still have a voice and mind, which made the wand substantially more dangerous, both for friend and foe.
While for staffs the new advancements in the creation of catalysts and the bigger size compared to wands made it nigh impossible for any opposition from the spirits, while also trapping up to a dozen spirits which would often hinder each other’s attempts at resistance. This is in part the reason for the differences between wand and staff.
As a lowly student there’s not much I could do, I just hoped said spirits don’t actually suffer and I certainly wouldn’t give up on magic because of this, but I did feel the need to write down this experience.
There are probably many more secrets of magic to discover, but that was beyond my current abilities.
What did I do next? I went to my Magizoology class, but not without first taking the remains of the broken wand with me, I still felt a strange connection to it…and if I ever have money issues, I heard merchants would be happy to buy this item.
I actually think there are already too many auras in the game, imagine massive battles and everyone has some kind of circus lights effects around them from 6 different auras
