Patch Notes - ags - 2.12.0

2.12.0 [] Descend into the depths of a new 4-Star Co-Op Dungeon, gain more power with new Earring equipment, and experience new events on your Road to Raid.

4-Star Co-Op Dungeon: Crypt of Augmentation

Confront the necromancer Velentra in the Crypt of Augmentation for substantial rewards, including essential Tier 2 equipment drops, that will accelerate your gear progression. Once a professor of light magic at Venelux, Velentra's life changed forever when she witnessed the extraordinary powers of the Arkeum knight Calanthia. Now transformed by dark magic, this mysterious necromancer stands before us, commanding ancient powers in devoted service to her dark mistress.

The Crypt of Augmentation will require a Combat Power of 5000 to enter. Master it for an easier time against Calanthia no matter how badly she wants your Star Fragment.

Earrings - New Equipment Slot

A new accessory equipment slot has been added: Earrings!

  • The Earring slot is available automatically to all characters after the 2.12.0 update.

  • Earrings can be acquired through various content such as Tier 2 tokens at the All Things Merchant, Nebula Island, Co-Op and Solo Dungeons, and Talandre Arch Bosses.

Combat Update - Positional Attacks

  • The combat system now recognizes when an attack comes from front, rear, or flanking directions.

  • Multiple abilities have been updated with positional damage or effects based on attacking from the flank or rear of the target, so take a moment to review your skills for potential benefits!

Interserver Siege

  • Castle-owning Alliances can now take part in an Interserver Siege event every 3 weeks, pitting castle owners on different servers against each other in Siege combat.

  • Alliances will be paired up and both sides will have an opportunity to attack and defend.

  • A portion of tax revenue from each participating server will be added to the reward pool, and divided among the participating alliances based on the outcome of the battle.

  • Emerging victorious will reward participants with a temporary title, temporary cloak cosmetic, chaos runes, and consumables.

  • Victorious alliances will also bring a 48-hour server wide buff to their home server, granting all players on that server increased Abyss Point efficiency and combat damage bonus.

  • The less-victorious Alliance members will receive a selection of consumables and chaos runes for their efforts.

  • The first Interserver Siege is slated to take place June 15, with eligible participants based on the outcome of the regular Sieges on June 1.
