This update heavily focuses on improving the rune economy and long-term hunting sustainability across Valantis. Over time, it became increasingly clear that rune availability was too limited for many players, especially low activity. The goal of this update is not to flood the server with free supplies, but to create more consistent and rewarding ways for active players to sustain their gameplay through hunting itself.
The newly added Task System is a major step toward that direction. Since the system shares its currency with Elite Creatures, players now have multiple progression paths contributing toward the same reward pool to gain supplies. This update also contains a large number of bug fixes, gameplay improvements, spawn expansions, client fixes, and quality-of-life changes across the server.
General
- Added a task system that rewards players with bestiary points, sharing the same currency as elite creatures. The system is designed to reward active gameplay while also helping players sustain their rune supply. Each task has a 7-day cooldown and up to 3 tasks can be active at a time.
- Fixed an issue where rapid relogs or character switching could incorrectly trigger connection rejection.
- Fixed an issue where drunk condition would cause follow attack to break until the target was manually retargeted.
- House rent warnings are now sent before rent is due, with reminders at 7, 3, and 1 day remaining. Houses are now automatically revoked immediately if the due-date payment fails.
- Clarified addon NPC dialogues and quest log entries to better explain upcoming addon requirements.
- Fixed another issue where certain movement speed thresholds could cause stuttering during walk due to inconsistent step duration synchronization between client and server.
- Fixed issue where map click would randomly stop.
- Faction bosses now drop reward bags that automatically split the loot between participants.
- Increased experience gained from the following dungeons using a fixed formula: Mintwallin, Orc Fortress, Drefia, and Ghostland. (Formula: (Required Level +1) - Required Level)
- Quest List has been re-introduced to the website. Please note it is not yet fully up-to-date with custom quests. This will be added shortly.
