Here are some of the highlights, and you will find the full changelog below:
Elite Monsters
Elite monsters are a new class of rare spawns in addition to enraged monsters! Elites are fierce and tough with three times the HP and twice the damage. They reward brave hunters with 10x experience and almost guaranteed rare drops!
You will recognize elite monsters from their eerie black glow and icon. Be careful!
Bonus Dungeons
Entering a dungeon now has a small chance of taking your party to a Bonus Dungeon! Clear the bonus and its unique monsters to find the treasure chest! Bonus dungeons are available on dungeons with premium card entry.
New Minimap Icons
New minimap icons have been added for temples, depots, various NPC's and Arne task locations.
Ingame Tooltips & Quest Dialogs
Signs, portals and other objects now display tooltips on mouseover. Certain quests now show a loot popup with gained items.
PvP blessings & murder
PvP death loss recovery has been replaced with a PvP blessing available from NPC Albert in Bersund. Blessed players lose 50% less experience when dying in PvP combat. Deaths from before the update are still recoverable in any temple.
Murder state is now gained from 5 unjustified kills in a day, 10 kills in a week or 15 kills in a month. Murderers may drop one to two items on death, and serial murderers will always drop items. Bags are not dropped. They may bribe NPC Collin or Lasse with gold to remove their skull.
