10 August 2010

Rejoice! You can soon enjoy the content of the newest content patch 3.0.3 called “In the depths of the forest” that will go live tomorrow.

The new content update offers you a new zone (Northern Janost Forest) with new quest lines and the option to make new friends through the new relationship system. Beginners will all enjoy the company of a very special virtual pet and the update also includes a **rebalance of a large number of skills** in the game.

Over 100 quests will lead players through the new region of the Northern Janost Forest. You will continue to explore the story of the third chapter of Runes of Magic by helping the Angrens defend their land against degenerated elves. If you bravely accept the challenge, you'll be able to reach the **new level cap of 60**, the final limit raise linked to Chapter III.

Apart from this new high-level content, every one of you will be able to enjoy a **new relationship system** allowing them to bind themselves together as friends, master and students or even lovers.
Every relation will grant the persons involved special buffs when they are grouped with their partner. Lovers will even be able to marry their soul mate by exchanging their wedding ring in a chapel which has been built in Varanas, the most important city of Taborea.

Another new feature has been introduced to help out beginners to discover and enjoy the game in its early stages. From now on, a special pet, taking the form of a golden pixie, gives new players hints on how to play the game and help them out by granting them special buffs or healing them when damaged.

**The Northern Janost Forest**

Many dangers await courageous adventurers who dare to set foot in the Northern Janost Forest which is under threat from half-demon, half-dragon creatures. And as if that weren’t enough, you will find yourself in the middle of a conflict between two sworn enemies, the Jyr’na and the Angren.

**Relationship System**

Patch 3.0.3 will see the introduction of the Relationship System in Taborea. This new feature allows you to enter into relationships using your character which bring many advantages to group playing. There are various levels of relationships available ranging from simple friendship, to full-blown marriage between two characters. Whether gay or straight, the specially-developed wedding chapel in Varanas is open to all!

**Rune Extraction**

The new Rune Extraction System lets you remove runes bound to your items and reuse them. The runes are no longer destroyed or overwritten but are placed in your inventory for a small amount of gold.

**Newbie Pet**

There’s a new pet especially for newcomers to the game between levels 1 and 30 which will stand by your side for support.

The Newbie pet will actively help you with leveling, heal you during battle, and will even supply you with interesting items. The higher the level of your character, the more skills this out of the ordinary pet will be able to offer you.
