Since our regularly scheduled release was unable to go out this week, we're giving you a week of double experience points to make up for it. That means double standard experience and double class experience points. PLUS, we've thrown in double Contract of Nulgath rewards for those working on the Nulgath Saga. This will last until next week's release goes Live on either Wednesday (April 26) or Thursday (April 27).
What Happened to the Release? Well, this release relied on the use of new game building tools our team developed and are working to integrate. With all of the developer tools we are working on, we want to be sure they are stable for releasing, and they are not quite there. So, we have to delay our meeting with the Knights of the Iron Bulwark to another date. However, we are continuing to work on the next section of Nulgath Part 3 and also preparing for the early May releases fourth-coming, and we are looking forward to you playing them in the coming weeks.
You have pledged your undying loyalty to the Legion... but this is not enough. You must constantly strive to hone your skills in battle. The Legion Summoner is in Battleon to teach you to summon combatants to spar against and hone your skills. Summon combatants for you and your Legion allies to spar against with Legion Summoning Runes and reward your successes with tokens of honor and prestige. This works just like the Gifting Runes, Fools Gift, Fire Starters, and other summoning monsters we’ve released. Legion Summoning Runes summon a monster for you and your friends to fight. Greater Legion Summoning Runes summons a monster that summons more monsters for a more worthy fight. The loot dropped from either of these “pinatas” can be a random item from the plethora of Legion Pinata items, but you will always get Legion Soul Remnant tokens which can be used to purchase the specific item you want from the Legion Summoner.
Legion Reward Shops
The Legion Summoner has two shops: Legion Remnant Shop and Legion Battle Rewards. Both shops contain all of the possible items that can be dropped from the summoned monsters, as well as the Legion Summoning Runes and Greater Legion Summoning Runes. All of the items in the Remnants shop, except the Runes, can be purchased with Legion Soul Remnant tokens. All of the items in the Battle Rewards shop can be purchased with Dragon Crystals.

Nulgath 3A: Bonus Content
When you have completed the latest Nulgath Saga story content (3A), head back to the Wasteland and the Oversoul to earn new rewards and powerful upgrades. Plus, some new perks have been added to older content.
Lionfang Paladin Gear Upgrades
Below the Portal to the Oversoul in the Wasteland await Paladins Ryker and Everett. They are ready to assist you with, not only new Lionfang Paladin gear, but also, power upgrades to that gear.
World Bosses: Errant Voids of Nulgath
New foes roam the Oversoul and the Wastelands. They are called Errant Voids of Nulgath. Skew will make you a Dark Deal to hunt these Errant Voids, but they are tough and won’t cross your path often. Make sure you’re ready to make this dark deal.
Thok and Sir Fainal are patrolling the Wastelands with allied Warriors and Guardians, and they have brought spare Phoenix Warrior equipment for those who need it. Thok will also make you a sweeter deal for hunting the Errant Voids and provide assistance while on his quest.
Skew’s Quest Pets
Are you looking for more power? Well Skew offers you a dangerous quest with the promise of the 8th Betrayal Blade of Nulgath Quest Pet as a reward.
If you already own the Phoenix Blade of Nulgath, you might see a sentient version hanging around the portal to the Oversoul. You should talk to it and ask what that’s about. Maybe it’ll join you on your quests??
Note: The Skew Quest Pet has been updated with even more quests, and the “A Lucky Deal” quest (wherever you find it) has been updated to include monsters from the Oversoul as well.

Thank you and… Next!
The Knights of the Iron Bulwark will be called upon for another quest soon. Suit up with Aranthor in Yulgar’s Inn to prepare for the call.
Hooper has been investigating the Grenwog for years. The tracks always lead him to Battleon’s surroundings, but he has never caught sight of the creature. Hop down deep into what may be the Grenwog’s Lair, and fight monsters of all flavors: Rock Candy, Taffy, Hard Candy, and... Angry Carrots? While you’re in the cavern, gather Pixie Dust to harvest and place carrots to lure the Grenwog to you, just like a professional Grenwog Hunter would do!
Hooper’s Grenwog Shop
If you’re lucky enough to encounter the Grenwog, and survive, return to Hopper with the Chocolate Grenwog Eggs you collected. He will happily trade them for some delicious new armors and weapons. You can also earn Chocolate Grenwog Eggs from Time Carrots and the Bunny Berserker in Old Battleon. However, Grenwog is the only monster with guaranteed Chocolate Egg drops every time.
What’s going on in Old Battleon?
Old Battleon sprouted... Mysterious Time Carrots?! We have no idea what's up with that, but maybe you can investigate! Whatever the case may be, keep an eye out for the dreaded Bunny Berserker…
Monster Drops
There are plenty of drops to go around! Fight the Grenwog and Past Battleon monsters for a chance at picking up various delicious carrot items or a Grenwog Pet.
April Promotional Item
This smiling creature assures you it only wants to keep you company and keep your head warm. If not hat, why hat shaped?
The Creature 83 Head Warmer is included with all packages from the Upgrade Shop, including Guardian and Lore Strider. Guardian packages also give the Albino Creature 83 Head Warmer. Check your inventory on your next log in after purchase.
The portal to the Oversoul has opened! Continue your journey to face Nulgath...

Welcome to Burger Hero
The Grand Opening!
Welcome to Burger Hero, home of the Hero Burger. You’d be a fool to miss the Grand Opening of Burger Hero. People are flocking to this new fast food establishment from all over Lore. Wandy is in Battleon promoting the restaurant with free coupons!
Burger Hero
Burger Hero is brought to you by Crustation Man. Line up for your chance to taste Dricken Tendies, a Monster Burger, a Hero Gyro, and the Hero Burger. At first glance, everything seems great, but something terrible is clogging the toilets and there is something unusual about the food supply. With the buzz Burger Hero is getting, it will be sticking around for a long time… (it’s evergreen).
Hey there Part Timer
If you’re in need of a job, Burger Hero will find a place for you. Crustation Man has some Part Time shift work for you to earn Burger Hero Promotion Points. Use these points to buy exclusive items from the Burger Hero Merch Shop. Pick up the Part Timer Rank token and Use it to unlock the title “Part Timer” and special quests with Wandy.
Wandy is the lead server at Burger Hero. She’s a go-getter who knows how to get ahead. Talk to her to pick up some extra shifts and earn more Promotion Points. Maybe Crustation Man will finally give you that promotion you’ve been asking for.
Pizza Time!
Burger slinging isn’t your vibe? Peter P is hanging out by the Burger Hero with a different proposal. How about becoming a Pizzamancer?
Pizzamancer is a new cosmetic class requiring the Moglomancer class. Pizzamancer includes new class skill animations, new skill names, and the “Cowabunga” title. Plus, you unlock the Pizzamancer Gear shop to earn the full Pizzamancer armor set and Pizza Slicer weapon. Don’t have the Moglomancer class yet? Head to the Pet Shop and find Mo G. Lynn to start earning the class or buy it from the Classes menu for Dragon Crystals.
Very Smol Pet Shop
Casey and his cat friends really love pizza. Though maybe not as much as Peter P. They are pretty chatty if you want to lounge around while digesting your Hero Burgers or after a long shift. Casey also has a Very Smol Pet Shop for you to buy, or turn into, one of these adorable cats for yourself.
Returning April Fool’s Fun
It’s not April Fool’s Day without Piddie the Fool! He’s back in Battleon with his Fool’s Day shop, including Mutatium potions and Fool’s Gifts. Meanwhile, a giant Chickencow has landed in the Social District and Aria could use your help investigating its mysterious appearance.
PvP Block Skill
The Block skill in PvP has been adjusted and is ready to play. It no longer has Reflect and you are Silenced for the duration.

Returning April Fool’s Day event content leaves May 3rd, 2023 (Burger Hero and Pizzamancer are evergreen)

More Nulgath side-content is coming soon and Hooper is currently tracking the Grenwog to Battleon.

Nulgath Saga Part III: Into the Oversoul
Previously in the Nulgath Saga…
You joined Victor Lionfang and his paladins in raiding the Red Monastery to collect and assemble the pieces of the Shattered Sword. You achieved success but at the expense of the lives (and souls?) of your allies. Victor Lionfang became a Fiendish version of himself by the power of the entity speaking to him through the amulet which is the heart of the Shattered Sword, now known as the Oblivion Blade. Dage agreed to join you in your attempt to defeat the possessed Lionfang, but he and his Fiendish paladins escaped.
Continue the epic saga…
Seek out the fiend who was behind the corruption of Victor Lionfang and his paladins... Nulgath the Archfiend. With Dage the Evil at your side, enter the portal to the Oversoul.
Dage the Evil
Dage is the Lord of the Underworld, leader of the Undead Legion, and a person who has intimate knowledge of the Archfiend called Nulgath. How can you fail with such a powerful ally?
Seary
Seary has offered to be your guide through the massive Oversoul to find Nulgath. You can't trust her, but you can't do this without her.
Are You Ready to Begin?
If you’re starting in Battleon, Aurielle the Fiendstress will take you to Dage when you “Continue the Nulgath Saga” and earn experience to level up to the new level cap of 44. Talk to Dage in the Wastelands to learn more about the Oblivion Blade and the being that speaks through it...Nulgath. If you need to gear up a bit, at the base of the stairs where Dage is standing, Paladins Ryker and Everett are ready to help you out with level 38 gear. Use your Paladin Class Tokens or Lionfang Favor to purchase the items in the Lionfang Paladin armor set.

The team is working on completing Nulgath Part 3 and cooking up April shenanigans. Also, Artix is taking some of the team to PAX East next week! Drop by the Artix Entertainment booth to say hello if you’re attending.
Head to Yulgar’s Inn to talk with the blacksmith-turned-innkeeper Yulgar himself. He recently learned that Doomwood has developed a vein of a new ore. Thanatosium is a very rare ore that is formed when a high concentration of spiritual energy leaks into the earth and seeps into existing ore. This augments the affected ore and becomes Thanatosium. Bring back some of this ore for him to forge you a weapon made of this unique substance.
Bulb Lightmaker
Bulb Lightmaker discovered the deposit in Doomwood. He can take you there if you help heal his injury.
Thanatosium Warblade
Gather ore from the Thanatosium Deposit and return to Yulgar for him to forge your new level 36 Thanatosium Warblade.
Celebrate Lucky Day
The Lucky Day Sneevils are back in the Battleon Social District! Talk to Lucky Lad to spend the Clover Leafs those Sneevils dropped on fun items from past Collections.
No new collection this year so you can save your DragonCrystals for the 2023 Dage Collection.
Special Message from the Team
We really appreciate all of the Bug Reports sent over the past few weeks. The team takes time to read them all. While the fixes aren't always immediate, the reports are very helpful for the team to create solutions. So keep the bug reports coming.
