Version June 30

These are the official patch notes for **Version June 30** released by Dynamight Studios.

This version is part of Closed Beta.

## Major Changes

**Legendary Rework**

* The requirements to summon all legends have been massively tweaked. In a nutshell, summoning a legend no longer requires flawless gems, but only reagents found in the area where the altar is located. Moreover, the number of different reagents required is no longer always 3, but ranges from 3 to 6, and their quantity has been rebalanced due to the changes in reagent rarity that went live with the Beta.
* Monsters summoned by the Legend Altar (aka “legend minions”) no longer give loot and knowledge points.
* A message is now broadcast on the global chat when the summoning of a Legend begins. A message when the Legend is killed will also appear, as before.

**Aerhen Update**

7 new legendary bosses introduced:

* Fenris – Lady of the Frozen Waste (Arctic Wolf – Easy)
* Syr – Impaler of Giants (Mammoth – Medium)
* Legendary Colossal Fire Construct (Unique – Medium)
* Legendary Colossal Ice Construct (Unique – Medium)
* Legendary Colossal Storm Construct (Unique – Medium)
* Legendary Colossal Crystalline Construct (Unique – Hard)
* Argadr the Stormcaller (Jotunn – Hard)

**New Items**

* Lost Tales: The Will of Galvanos
* Lost Tales: Northern Myths
* Glacial Breath, dropped by Arctic Wolves to summon Fenris - Lady of the Frozen Waste
* Mammoth Meat, dropped by Mammoths to feed city and players.

## Minor Change

* Vice-Governors can now promote Citizens to Trusted Citizens and vice-versa, and can also delete buildings.
* NPC cities now show public buildings on the minimap.
* The duration of the Burning status effect now resets every time the victim would receive another Warm stack. This allows a pyromancer to keep targets permanently Burning. Do not that this change applies to Burning only – the duration of Frozen is still limited.
* All spells now go on a 10-seconds cooldown if the player equips a new piece of gear or swaps it with a different one. Removing a piece of gear will not trigger the cooldown.
* Casting time is now displayed in the tooltip of all abilities.
* Monsters now regain 5% of their Max Health per second (min. 200) when “homing” (running back to their spawn point) and they no longer start hunting their previous target again (even if far away) once they are done homing.
* It’s no longer possible to gain crafting mastery in the tutorial island.

## Bug Fixes

* Only players with a Neutral alignment can summon and gain loot rights from Legends.

* The color applied to Chilled / Warm characters no longer “blinks” every time the character attacks.
* Characters no longer rotate when jumping holding down the left mouse button.
* Increasing Max Health no longer automatically heals the character for the same amount. It still does when the spell Empower is used or the ability of the Cleric set triggers, but it no longer does when a piece of equipment with +Health is equipped.
* The player is no longer healed when the effect of Empower ends.
* The Political Atlas menu now only shows LAUNCH CONQUEST when opened via the Guild menu, since Guilds can only launch conquests on Hamlets – no raids or nation join proposals.
* Fixed a bug that would make a city that successfully defended itself from a raid receive a “defeat” instead.
* Cities that lose a rank now correctly lose 2 research points and the last 2 researches selected (chronologically), instead of ending up in an inconsistent state.
* Fixed a bug that would make players unable to abandon land claims outside of city areas if the city that controlled the region had decayed and was re-claimed.
