NEW PVP SYSTEM

General

It is no longer possible to attack or be attacked by another player in any part of the game, except on a battlefield.
A system to protect resources has been added: whenever a player plants a resource, only they can harvest it, up to 5 minutes after the resource matures. After that, any player can harvest it.
Wings are activated by default on characters belonging to a Nation. They signal a player's allegiance to a Nation without allowing them to be attacked.
The Region bonuses have been reviewed.

Territory Conquest

Most of the game's territories can now be controlled by a nation. Territories are automatically attributed to the five nations according to the following rule:

Territories within the nations of Amakna, Bonta, Brakmar, and Sufokia belong to those nations.
The other territories are divided among the five nations as follows: nine territories for the Riktus and six territories for the four others.
The laws concerning attacks have been removed, since they have become obsolete. The law concerning "capture" has been reviewed and split into two laws; they now concern participation in Battlefields, either in defense or attack.

Outlaw System

When a character is in a territory controlled by a nation, their "citizenship" score toward that nation is displayed instead of their citizenship score toward their own nation.
By committing misdeeds in a nation's territory, whether the player belongs to the nation that controls the territory or to another nation, they will become an Outlaw in respect to that nation. The player will notice this because their citizenship score will be below -50.
Outlaw players in a territory can be attacked by other players at any time.
If the Outlaw loses the fight, whether they belong to the nation that controls the territory or to another nation, they will be sent to the nation's prison.
In prison, the player will be punished for a length of time depending on the number of misdeeds they have committed (Citizenship Points visible or not). They will also be able to reduce their sentence by performing community service, or they can try to escape from the prison while remaining an Outlaw.
Many fixes have been made to the way prisons operate so that everything works once more.
A prison has been added for the Riktus Clan so that the system can work like it does for the other nations.

Neutrality

Neutrality is no longer a status that reduces a certain number of player actions (leaving Astrub, entering dungeons, Zaaps, Drago-Expresses, boats, etc.).

It is now possible to become neutral again. There are several ways to do so:

Go see Master Bossowl, who will allow you to become neutral again when you pay some kamas, once a month.
Go see Master Bossowl to become neutral again for free, one time only, before February 1, 2018.
Buy a Neutrality Scroll in the Shop, which replaces the former scrolls that allowed you to change nation.

The player can then choose to remain neutral or select another nation.

Consequently, the quest "Pledge Your Allegiance", which forced the player to choose a nation, no longer exists.

Moreover, the quest "Follow the Path" no longer redirects the player to an exit from Astrub as early as possible, but simply asks them to go see Master Bossowl, who will explain that other islands exist, without inviting them to leave Astrub right away.

The entire section of the rest of the Chapter 1 Nations Quest, which required the player to select a nation, then to go there to defeat a few Gobballs, Tofus, and enemies of the nation, has been deleted. This part of the quest has been replaced by a block with the Hullcatz who will take players once they've reached level 21, and the quest will then redirect beginners to several ways to earn experience (Mercenaries, Hunters, and Otomai's Disciple).

CLASSES

Feca

The description of Elementor has been changed to be consistent with the effects of the passive.

Sram

The description of Dupery has been changed to be consistent with the effects of the passive.

ITEMS

Forgotten Helmet

In the previous update, any Forgotten Helmets you already owned came to be linked to your account. To fix this problem, we've created an "Unlinking Machine" that will let you unlink your helmet.
The machine can be found in the basement of Astrub Inn.

Bags

It will no longer be possible to leave items on the ground. Dropping an item into nothing will now delete it instead of placing it on the ground.

WORLD

Moon Island

The surface of Moon Island has been divided into two distinct ecosystems: Moon Beach and Moon Jungle. There are new Environmental Quests available in these different sections of the island.

Transportation

Certain Drago-Express points have been relocated to make them more consistent. Drago-Express points are no longer always near Zaaps, boats and dungeons, and are instead more centrally located in the zone served. Some of these had to be removed, while others were moved to new locations. That means certain trips will take slightly longer than before, with the intent to have you travel through a part of the world, but they should last no longer than 30 seconds from start to finish.
Zaaps in Ohwymi, Past Xelorium, Present Xelorium, Enurado and Srambad have been relocated to be closer to the center of the zone, and so that players will spend less time running.
No changes have been made to Drago-Express points or Zaaps in the Nations.

QUESTS

Meta-Achievements

There are new Meta-Achievements for completing Environmental Quests in the level group 171-185 (Moon Island).

Treechnee Dungeon

Treechnee Dungeon Achievement - Stasis 41 can now be properly confirmed.

Achievements

We reduced the amount of achievements listed in the achievements page when the player hasn't completed the quest "Follow the Path" so as not to overburden newer players.

Kelba

A freeze during the animated sequence with Hadibal Toot has been corrected.

DUNGEONS

Grandmeow's House (Bow Meow Dungeon)

This dungeon is now meant for three characters (players, heroes or sidekicks).
It is no longer possible to enter with more than the maximum limit of characters.
Entering the Dungeon Leaderboard with over 3 characters is no longer possible.

Stasis Dungeons

Vampire Affix: The Health Steal will no longer be able to be triggered by damage that does not come from spells, and will no longer be able to revive a monster who should have died.

SIDEKICKS

General

Companions no longer cost a key to enter dungeons.

Hippolyre

Hippolyre gains 1 Range at level 125 as normal.

Dofus Pets

Grodon

It is now possible to transfer the Grodon pet to Wakfu.
