Equipment
- Changed the method of calculating the level of equipment items. The current rating will be reset to zero.
- Temporary artifacts no longer increase equipment level.
Developer Сomment: The old equipment level (gearscore) indicator was based on a few secondary stats only, such as item level, quality, offensive and defensive efficiency. It was more predictable and easier to calculate: e.g. items intended for different equipment slots had the same gearscore if parameters above were the same. However, that approach had a number of serious drawbacks: it did not reflect the “might” of the equipment accurately, which could lead to the fact that items with lesser stats could have a higher level of equipment.
Therefore, we decided to change the calculation mechanics. The new formula is not based on secondary parameters, but takes into account all equipment stats, both offensive and defensive. This way similar items for different equipment slots will now have different gearscore. It aims to achieve monotony in the character's gearscore based on the "might" acquired through the equipment items stats, so that a character who has more "might" due to the stats of their equipment also has a higher gearscore.
For a number of reasons, we've decided to drop the gearscore for temporary artifacts. At the moment, there are many different PvP and PvE artifacts in the game with unique mechanics. It makes it almost impossible to quantify their “strength” with the same gearscore properly. Moreover - this value should also be consistent with the level of the main equipment and draconic aspect items. In addition, its presence in temporary artifacts also caused a number of inconveniences for players, forcing them to change artifacts in order to maximize their equipment level, as well as making the current maximum gearscore irrelevant if artifacts were not used or their lifespan was coming to an end .
World

- In exchange for Signets, Erfar will offer you various goods and components, as well as artifacts and Dragon Aspect items.
- The old weekly quests "Treasures of the Storm", "Hunting Uro-Boros" and "Battle for Ambrosia" now only award location-specific rewards such as local currency and reputation.
- Storm on Suslanger and the Battle for Ambrosia on Eden now have a fixed schedule of 1:00, 9:00, 13:00, 16:00, 19:00, 21:00, 23:00 СEST (Battle for Ambrosia also starts at additional time intervals: 03:00, 12:00, 14:00, 15:00, 17:00, 18:00, 20:00, 22:00.), and Uro-Boros spawns after each Tempest at 01:30, 09:30, 13:30, 16:30, 19:30, 21:30 and 23:30 CEST.
