## 🎅Update 13🎅

🦌 🎅ERA🦌 🎅12/10/2020

@everyone
12th December
- Lowered Drop rates by ALOT for the beginner bosses.

```
(Jad to Giant Sea Snake)

```

As everyone was complaining that the drops were extremely high. (which they were right)

- Now a they are lowered 40-60% so a great way for new players to get loot and if weaker they can sell it to the npc located as all prices are nearly priced.

- introducing:

```
   - Mage Damage Increase 2% permanently (dagg task)
   - Range Damage Increase 2% permanently (dagg task)
   - Melee Damage Increase 2% permanently (dagg task)
   - Hybrid Damage Increase 2% permanently (jad task)

```

These are all obtainable from ::beginner tasks.

For the ones that have already finished these 2 tasks pm me ingame so i can give the items to you.

(you would need to take a photo to prove that you have finished)

As players received Statius Warhammer + Royal Martian from the start.
And from there it became difficult to upgrade to the next tier and because it was difficult to kill monsters we have taken the perks above into account aswell as every item leading onwards apart of the ::beginner.

```
  - We have increased the speed of the KBD Katana making it super fast, so it would be a great upgrade!
  - Also, the Korasi from Barrelchest is an ultimate spec weapon allowing you to hit upto 750!
   - Changed the Tormented Demons Abbysal Vine Whip so it can now double hit, even though its weaker stat wise than Statius Warhammer its a huge upgrade because now it can hit twice, making it easier to progress.
   - Also made the Vesta Longsword from Rex to be a ultra powerful spec weapon also, so the choice is yours to choose between the korasi or this.
   -  Now the Giant mole drops the Royal martian upgrade kit so you can now imbue it to Royal Martian (i), making it even stronger.

```

Now made it so:
Every time a person votes it will display on discord aswell as telling you how many votes until the vote event. So everyone can be notified.

Now tomorrow will be the last day for every trying to finish the first week of daily rewards. The second week is coming up and it will be even better! So make sure to take advantage of this! Make sure to log in and Vote for Apex.

- Added the Beginner's Ring to the inventory of new starters basically allowing them to have a Ring that will randomly shatter. But it will give 50 stat bonus to everything + 4.5x Droprate.

Thank you All,
Team :apex:

## 🎅Update 11🎅

22nd November

Hey guys this is probably the biggest update i have done so far, I have fully optimized the whole game deleting close to 120,000+ lines of redundant code adding up from both the client and the server.
Have changed the ways packets communicate with another to give a smoother experience with less DC's and more.

Now that i have a cleaner environment to code on, much bigger updates and cooler content are going to come up for the community.

So definetly stay tuned and make sure to update your client via the launcher.

Do let me know if you feel any differences in the client and the server because alot of shitty code written by old devs have been diminished from this server, and only the strong codes have stayed intact.

This took me along time to do but managed to finally do it.

Thank you all team :apex:
