Game

• Dying inside a Rift no longer makes you drop items or your backpack, and none of your items can break. Experience and skill losses still apply.

• Map updates.

Game

• Crafting tables (Alchemy, Cooking, Smithing and the Profession Workbench) now check your free space before starting. With a full inventory nothing is charged: no gold, effort or attempts are lost.

Mayor and city

• Mayor election: for this first week, running for Mayor costs only 1000 gold.
• City taxes in Aurora are now 10%, so the first Mayor starts with funds to act.
• City acquisitions: the lowest price of each acquisition now depends on the acquisition itself (for example 500 gold per level for Happy Hour at Garrick's Bar and 800 for Building Aurora's Future), and every level also costs 1 scrap.

Website

• Character creation: a "Normal Character" option now comes first and selected, to make clear that Hardcore and Ironman are optional.

Game

• Dying no longer takes 50% of the durability of your equipped items. The chance of an item breaking on death is still there.
• The Aurelius Umbra raid is paused for now, while players grow stronger. It will come back in a future update.

NPCs in three languages

Achievements

• 164 new achievements in The Creator, Refining Path, Duelist Challanges, The Hunter and Extras.

• Achievements earned while you are offline are delivered on your next login, with the banner.

Game

• Aurelius Umbra boss tasks (regular and raid) count the kill again.
• Fast Travel: Vator's stable now has two horses, so up to two rides can happen at the same time. When both are out, or someone killed them, he asks you to wait. A killed horse is back in 3 minutes, and a horse returns to the stable as soon as its ride ends.
• Fast Travel: the ride speed is now the same for everyone.

Both clients

• The client is now always in English (the language option was removed).

War Mode

A new war mode lets players fight each other without worrying about skulls or frags:

• Use a Citadel Flag and channel for 30 seconds to enter war mode. Use it again to leave (not possible while in a fight, with a skull or carrying Prystal Orbs or resources).
• Players in war mode can attack and kill each other without getting a skull or an unjustified frag. Deaths are still real deaths: experience, items and item breaks.
• Attacking a player outside war mode, or being attacked by one, follows the normal skull rules.
• Every Prystals Domain action now requires war mode.
• Players in war mode show crossed red swords after their names.

Game

• Some teleports around the world were fixed and now send you to the right place.
• Rune materials: Mining now gives Strange Ore, refined into Strange Stone and then into Strange Tablets. Mystics enchant a Strange Tablet into a Magic Rune with the new spell Enchant Tablet (incanti auxili, 30 mana). Magic Runes are the material of every rune spell and now stack.
• Market: Kingly Deer Mount, Basic Sandals, Scale Boots, Stone Boots and Wooden Club were added, some items were removed, and Slime Ooze, Fatty Meat, Mossy Bar and Bucket moved to better categories.
• Fast Travel: being knocked off your horse by another player now leaves you confused for 5 seconds.

• Soulbound items of another player lying on the ground can still be moved around, but can no longer be picked up.
• The Outfit Box was reconfigured and now gives the correct outfit scrolls.

Both clients

• The Unjustified Points window now works: it shows your unjustified kills in the last day, week and month, and how many are left before a red skull (or a banishment).
• New sprites for the Strange Stone, Strange Tablet, Magic Rune and Outfit Box, and the Enchant Tablet spell in the spell list.

Website

• Create Account and Account Management are available in the left menu.

Game

• The forts were renamed: Aurora Shroom Fort is now Fort Shroom and Aurora Rebels Fort is now Brightside Fortress.
• The Crown Tax is now collected by the Publicanus, in a crown vault separate from the city taxes. Only the King can check and withdraw it (crown balance / crown withdraw). The Mayor uses city balance / city withdraw.
• Gold withdrawn from the crown vault is not handed over: the King carries it on horseback, just like Prystal resources, and delivers it at the Guild Spoils Chest. It can be combined with Prystal resources on the same trip, and it drops to the ground on damage, logout, death or teleport.
• The Crown Tax is reset to 0% at the start of every Citadel Throne.
• Ironman characters can no longer carry Prystal Orbs or Prystal resources, and an Ironman King cannot withdraw the Crown Tax.

Both clients

• The Tasks window shows boss shaders (such as darkness), like the Events window, including Aurelius Umbra (Raid).
• The client version is now also shown on the login screen.

• The client version is shown in the bottom-right corner.
• Options: the "Custom" tab is now called "Utility", and "Highlight things under cursor" was removed.

Android

• New default layout: panels docked on the left and a compact 8-slot action bar.
• Fixed the movement keypad disappearing or becoming impossible to touch after login.

• All NPCs were rebuilt on a new, faster dialogue system.
• An NPC now talks to one player at a time. Other players who greet it wait in line and are called in order.
• Shops, the bank, travel, services and quest NPCs all work the same way as before.

• Passwords are now stored with much stronger encryption. Old passwords are upgraded automatically the next time you log in.
• Too many failed login attempts from the same connection are now blocked for a few minutes.
• Lost your password? Use Forgot your password? on the login page to recover your account by email.

Two optional game modes are chosen once, at character creation, and can never be changed:

• Hardcore: a qualifying death (any death to a monster, or a PvP death while skulled) turns your character into a permanent, harmless ghost confined to the city. Levels and skills are kept.
• Ironman: you play entirely on your own: no trading with other players, no market and no parcels. You can loot monsters you killed yourself, but never pick up items from the ground or from other players.

The Ironman restrictions were reviewed to close ways around them, such as looting other players' corpses.
