The Icy Mountain Dungeon Test Server is now open! The server is based on a snapshot taken earlier today. You may download the test client here.

The new dungeon can be accessed from the Chenoo spawn. Featuring never seen before monsters, this may be one of the most challenging hunts in Zezenia yet!

Please post your impressions, bug reports and other feedback in this thread.

Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff

The Zezenia Online Fall Update has been released! As always, your client will update automatically, or you may download Zezenia here. Steam users may need to restart to receive the update.

Here's what's new:



The newly added Bestiary details all monsters to be found in the world of Zezenia and serves as a personal collection. Killing a monster will unlock its bestiary page along with common stats & loot.



Avid beast collectors can work to familiarize themselves and ultimately master each monster, unlocking very rare loot along the way. Bestiary kills are shared between all players. Newly added Beast Collector, Beast Master & Beast Grandmaster achievements are earned by unlocking & mastering monsters in the bestiary.

The Bestiary can be opened from the new Library menu or using CTRL + B.



Monster Boosts are available for purchase in the bestiary using noble Zezenian coins. Options include a +25% experience boost, increased enraged & elite spawns and a monster health debuff.

Active boosts are shared with all players in the game world, and can be seen on login & from the Bestiary. Generous community members will receive thanks for their boost purchases!



The new Talent System features a unique talent tree for each subclass. Talents are divided into three unlockable tiers. Players can specialize in one of two subclass specific special talents.



Each talent can be assigned 10-15 points depending on subclass. One assignable point is gained every 10 levels. For instance, a Paladin may assign five extra points to the Fortification talent.

In addition to existing talents Durability, Spirituality, Legerity, Expertise, Aggression, Fortification, Resistance, Healing & Weapon Boost the following talents are new:

* Mana Steal: returns 10 mana points per talent point on each basic attack.

* Multi Strike: adds a 2% chance per point to inflict an additional strike on each attack. (50% damage in PvP)

* Brewing: increases potion duration by ~4% per talent point.

Starting at level 300 new Special Talents are available by subclass:

Shaman

Blizzard: Hailstorm inflicts additional damage and slows down hit creatures.

Rejuvenation: Heal Friend and Shamanic Friend heal over time.

Pyromancer

Fire Guard: Mystic Guard reduces damage by an additional 20% on top of 40% from mana.

Clarity: areal spells inflict extra damage around their edges.

Warlock

Lasting Pain: Deathblow inflicts additional damage over 6 seconds.

Immolation: increases the strength of Advanced Soul Fire and Cross of Annihilation.

Paladin

Invocation: increases Last Stand duration to 25 seconds.

Overpowering: Shield Slam damage & stun chance is increased. Adds damage-based healing.

Barbarian

Insatiable: increases Rage duration to 30 seconds.

Invincible: adds strong life steal to Rage buff.

Rogue

Poison Arrow: adds a poisonous element to Barbed Arrow.

Ice Traps: turns Traps into larger Ice Traps.

Marksman

Split Arrow: turns Piercing Shot into a full frontal wave. Armor reduction remains only from direct line hits.

Focus: increases Critical Continuum duration to 30 seconds.

The full talent tree for each subclass is visible ingame.





Information about each subclass and their spells & talents can be found within the new Library button.



The ingame Library will expand over time to include a full map, item & equipment data and more.





The level 300+ Ice Dungeon is about to open for business! Fight your way up a narrow mountain to the top for great rewards. Beware, as you will be challenged by never seen before beasts, which are surely lethal.



The new dungeon will be available on a Public Test Server opening later this weekend. It will open soon afterwards.



The beginner town of Eidos and associated beginner quests has received a major overhaul. Discover a new old town of many hardships following a war with the mad wizard Bollahar.

Eidos houses have been moved and replaced in the map. As previously announced, the former owners of these homes now have exclusive bidding rights to newly added houses. Your items have been moved to the depot.





New Bandit Camps have appeared across the map. Make your way to these outlaw encampments through the world map to clear them & loot their treasure.

Unfortunately, crime is spreading across the lands and new encampments will appear in the future. The difficulty level of each camp will vary from low to high levels, with the first camps tailored towards beginners.



Added new solo hunting spawns for Werebear & Mighty Magician Werebear.
Added new islands: solo Geck'zah area & team Crabs & Unholy Dreadlords. **Upcoming SS**
Expanded Devil spawn.
Slightly expanded Dreadlord spawn.
Slightly expanded Chenoo spawn.





See you ingame!

Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff
