Three new legendary items are coming to the server.
The Legendary Ring of Health, a Legendary Cloak and the most excited Legendary Aegis shield. This already has some nice stats to it before you get it.

The way you will be getting these is through a new system where you will need to find mystic orbs. These can be found on many creatures, plus the new renowneds will carry some. You will also be able to buy Mystic Orbs in case you feel its taking time to get them.

Player Stats will increase to 450 cap. This will allow you to reach 150 on each of your strength, inteligence and dexterity.

A new evolution creature is coming to the server. The Korpre is a wonderful little creature. These look like slimes and evolve into three different creature.

Each Korpre starts as a slime, but each grow into different types each with their own skillset.
