Skyforge Update - 17/01/2018 - 0.96.15

Stand together Immortals!

It's the first patch of the new year, and this rings a new beginning for us as well! We talked in our producer letter about the many changes that we have planned for 2018 so let's begin by fixing things and improving on others.

We are bringing back the"Strength in Unity" stat! This stat increases the damage of the group, depending on how many members use a different class. Unlike before, this stat now applies to every member of the group and not only attacker classes.

UI Bugs? UI BUGS! We smashed them. For example, the voting window now disappears once a vote has passed. Also, players in adventures should see the correct cost of a divine form.

Some economy changes were applied in this patch too. Since the special rates are now over, we revised some of the rewards. From now on, you will always receive a large amount of "Credits" and "Knowledge of Enemies" for completing adventures.

Generation 12 aspect jewelry has been added. You know the drill: Defeat the avatars of the new invasions and you can get your hands one of the new shinies! The good news: modifiers for this equipment are now equal to the modifiers for mythical equipment with maximum integrity. Equipment containers now contain equipment of the actual season.

But what about new loot? Don't worry we got you covered - Defeat the generals of four distortions and the champion version of Thanatos to receive the "Reapers of Death Terror Armor". Take a peek below:
