Elyon Extended Update Brings Archers, Class Balance, and New World vs. Realm Content

Elyon Get your first new archery class, join the game in today’s update, but the update itself is very extensive, adding a new dimension portal, a new level of difficulty advanced for Ignus the Pyro raid and removed Realm War for Realm vs. New Realms.

Archers are here and have the longest reach of any class. Archers can also detect stealthy enemies by perception, but must be at a distance as their damage decreases the closer they get to the target. If they are far away, they can also effectively drain the target’s energy.

There’s an event meant to help those looking to create a new Archer that will run through January 26 and will offer achievements, rewards, trophies, and even skins if you upgrade an Archer. All classes have their Max HP increased by 35% and classes have been rebalanced with a mix of changes per class. Due to the class rebalance, there is an additional event meant to help people recalibrate their characters with daily rewards to help you out.

Realm vs Realm content is here, with Realm War currently unavailable. You can redeem any medal until the February 2 maintenance.

This content is divided into several types. A locked supply box will appear for five minutes. If your kingdom can destroy the box and keep the players and sweepers from the other kingdom, there will be rewards for some. In the second type, yYou will see the broken down transports start to appear, with a system message alerting everything to their location. Go ahead and get ready to represent your kingdom. Defeat another kingdom’s guard captain and an onboard merchant will appear. War beacons will also appear similarly. Capture them for your kingdom and keep them. If you manage 5, 15, or 30 minutes, a merchant will appear for each timeline, with different potential rewards. But be careful, because if the merchant shows up and you lose the tag, he will leave.

Okay, the nature of this update and the promise to continue to increase RvR content, drop rates and drop types to decrease in some regions have been changed. All open world base reduction rates have been increased fivefold. Blessed Laurels have been removed, but you can still exchange them for items. Epic and Legendary gear drop rates in the open world have been changed to be equal when there is an active garland for an hour or two of grind content.
