Loot the best equipment

Dropped equipment in Zezenia is assigned a random tier from Ordinary to Epic to Legendary. The attributes of each item are randomized according to the tier & item rarity, making every piece of equipment distinct. The possibilities are endless!

Hunt bosses and solve quests for the rarest pieces of equipment. Enchant rares using ores to upgrade the tier and stats of the item. Trade loot & equipment on the ingame market with sell & buy offers.

Complete the Bestiary

Defeat each one of Zezenia's monsters & bosses to unlock their Bestiary entry. Keep hunting each species to unlock full details about dropped loot.

Get an edge in hunts by purchasing Monster Boosts from the Bestiary. Boosts add experience & buff the rate of special Elite monsters, which drop extra experience and rare loot.

Adopt your own pet

Purchase a Pet Scroll to adopt one of Zezenia's many Pets. Focus on fighting monsters while your best friend picks up dropped loot automatically.

Eat fish & food collected by Fishing & Gathering to regenerate your health and mana. Leftovers can be given to pets for a small healing buff!

This week's Server Save / Client Update includes the following upgrades:

Game Engine Upgrade


The Zezenia Online game engine has been upgraded with a new graphics backend. Players will see:

Better Performance: most players should see at least a modest increase in their FPS (Frames Per Second). The biggest improvement can be seen on lower end hardware such as laptops, integrated graphics cards, and certain series of graphics cards.

Increased Compatibility: the previous engine based older Direct3D 9 technology has served us well, but encountered increasing performance issues & crashes with modern graphics card drivers. The new renderer makes use of modern technologies and has wide compatibility.

Added Portability: using the new engine we are happy to announce:

macOS & Linux Beta


The all new macOS and Linux clients are now available to download from Steam. The macOS client is an Universal Binary with support for Apple M1/M2 & Intel devices. The Linux client is built for x86_64 devices.

Standalone Mac & Linux releases will be available for download outside of Steam later after a testing period.

Other changes


Quoting Full changelog:

Note: these upgrades are coming to the game tomorrow.
- Readded the Enraged & Elite boost to the Bestiary. This boost can now be stacked with server wide enraged & elite events.
- Slightly increased the base chances of Enraged & Elite monsters spawning.


Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff

The Technical Preview client is now live, thanks to all testers!

The Zezenia Online Technical Preview Client is now available! The new client features an updated graphics engine for improved performance and hardware compatibility.

Better Performance: most players should see at least a modest increase in their FPS (Frames Per Second). The biggest improvement can be seen on lower end hardware such as laptops and integrated graphics cards.

Increased Compatibility: the previous engine based older Direct3D 9 technology has served us well, but encounters increasing compatibility and performance issues with modern graphics card drivers. The new renderer is based on modern technologies and has wide compatibility.

Added Portability: the new engine will allow us to provide a native client for macOS and Linux on par with Windows soon.

Please give the Technical Preview client a try and let us know how it works on your computer! There should be no other perceptible changes in the Test Client, so please reply with a bug report if you encounter any regressions.

Sincerely,
Zezenia Staff
