Cross of Auria
5.1.0 - Yuelslain's Village
I think my biggest question is - "Is the challenge too difficult?". So, if you happen to make it up to the castle where the save restriction is, let me know that you were able to make it there! If you're getting absolutely demolished, let's talk about it. This is the first major area to be released which uses the 2nd generation enemy stat roll system.
Since I will be busy tomorrow and Christmas day, I will mark the DLC as able to be downloaded immediately after posting this message. Have a happy holidays, everyone!
5.1.0 [Build #112, Release Date: December 23, 2021]
Bugs to look for: Report them as a comment to the most recent patch notes.
- Unable to make quest progress in Yuelslain's Village. Include details about which quest and what you have done right before encountering the issue.
- Anything that doesn't work correctly - such as the Quest Log, transfers from one map to another in YS, missing enemy data, any crashes, etc.
New:
- Yuelslain's Village is now available! Visit the store page for more information: (Yuelslain's Village Store Page).
-- Yuelslain's Village is still in development. A zone in the top right of the map is currently blocked pending finalization. A warning will pop up when you get to close saying that the save feature has been restricted. By simply turning around to the tile just before that one, Save will be re-enabled.
- A new beginner's guide is available @ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2689252544. This guide covers basic controls, main menu details, specifics to understand character stats and parameters, a text version of the elemental resistances chart, and the basic Google Sheets graphic I used to create and reference those elemental resistances.
Updates & Changes:
- The tier 2 poison physical attacks are now named "Toxinstrike".
- System iconset has been updated for Warp, Barrier, Wind-Weak, and other statuses.
- Air Current now resets its turns on re-application instead of adding turns and has a fixed duration of 5.
Known Issues:
- When using a guide book item, it appears that you can use it on multiple characters. However, the effect only functions for as many books as you have. Using a guide book you only have one of on all 6 characters will only grant the skill to the first character it was used on. As far as I can tell, this display hiccup is not something that can be fixed when using learn skill consumable items. The single-use nature of guide books functions as intended.
Notes:
- Warp, Warpstrike I-V, & Warpspark all apply the Warp states at the same rate per hit - Warp I: 66%, Warp II: 50%, Warp III: 33%, Warp IV: 10%, Warp V: 3%. This information is not included in the tooltip. Instead, it reads "May cause massive barrier degeneration over time."
- Each of the Warp states may be applied simultaneously.
- Multiple Wind-Weak I-III applications will increase the remaining duration. Applying a higher tier of Wind-Weak will give the target immunity to the lower tiers and set the duration relative to if the debuff had just been applied.
5.0.16 - Warp / Frostslayer / Looking Ahead
As of right now, we're on track to meet the Dec 24th deadline I gave myself for the Yuelslain's Village unless something happens to pull me away. If I am unable to complete the main questline by then, I will push back the release to January 15th. Yuelslain's Monarch is going to get pushed back even if I am able to meet the YV deadline. Rather than add a simple boss for $2, we're changing functionality of one of the YV zones or adding a new one altogether - I haven't decided yet.
Some of this isn't going to make any sense until the village is open, but the patch notes for release day were getting long - so let's chop it up a little bit and deploy what we can right now.
We haven't hit that point yet, but enemies whose HP is greater than the maximum RMMV can handle will have the remaining HP applied as Barrier Points. Also, some enemies simply have a fraction of their HP as Barrier instead. Some enemies in Yuelslain's Village use this concept, so tools to combat this must also enter the fray. For now, only a handful of abilities were added with the new concept: Warp. None of the characters learn these by level-up, so a Guidebook or skill-enabling piece of gear will be needed.
Yuelslain's Village will introduce the greatest challenge in CoA to date, so it should also introduce the greatest pool of rewards. At the time of writing this, there are 14 weapons and 44 armor pieces coded into the game just for the new zone. Of the armor, there are two full sets of gear (Yuel's Set & Festive Set), and one accessory only set (Resistance Set). Gear ranges from uncommon @ 400 points to legendary @ 600 points, marking the highest available set by points in the game. Some time after the release, I'll do another video explaining the gear to points situation, as it has evolved from my last explanation.
With the most recent series of updates, we saw the ability to change outfits for Ruby, Miles, and Riley. With Yuelslain's Village, we will see the first permanent Class change with the introduction of the Frostslayer class, which can be equipped by either Amaya or Eurus. As of right now, once their class has been changed, Wind Warrior and Wind Reaver can not be recovered. Additionally, all wind skills will be unlearned - even those learned by sources other than level up - this isn't a big deal right now, but it's worth noting for later when Guidebooks become more widely available. The highlight of the Frostslayer class is the Ice-Killer Normal Attack, which does greatly increased damage to Ice-type enemies.
Finally, challenges in the Colosseum Basement can be repeated without having to complete the An'ura Rift upstairs.
5.0.16 [Build #111, Release Date: December 19, 2021]
New:
- New key term: Warp - used to describe removal of barrier points. A skill that would "remove 200 barrier points if possible" simply shows "Warp (200)" in the tooltip instead. Warp is typically associated with Arcane and has no effect on targets who do not have an active barrier. The warp effect is in addition to regularly calculated damage.
- New key term: Actions - used to describe the chance to act multiple times in a single turn. Formerly called "Act Twice" or "Act Again". A weapon that adds a chance to act another time in a single turn will now say "Actions (+x%)". If a single weapon has this in the tooltip multiple times, it indicates multiple stacking possibilities to act another time as opposed to a combined singular chance to act twice.
Yuelslain's Village (Extra Info):
- Reputation is gained with the village by completing events in the quest chain and may also be lost by giving unfavorable replies. Rep can also be gained by completing repeatable quests which unlock once the NPC's corresponding main quest step has finished.
- The village smiths will create gear for Ruby once her reputation with the town is high enough. They will even expand their shops to accept Risen and Yuelslayer coins as the village reputation gets higher.
- Festive Coins, Risen Coins, and Yuelslayer Coins are the currency for crafted gear in this town.
- Yule Spirits & Festive Coins always drop from Yuel's Lv. 50 minions.
- Risen Coins sometimes drop from Lv. 50 Risen enemies.
- Yule Spirits do not drop from the Risen and only occasionally drop from enemies below Lv. 50.
- Yuelslayer Coins occasionally drop from Lv. 50 enemies throughout all Yuelslain zones and may be disassembled from some of the region's gear.
- Soul of the Frost Slayer can be purchased from the Item Shop if the village reputation is high enough.
Frostslayer Class:
- Soul of the Frost Slayer pemanently changes Amaya's or Eurus's class to "Frostslayer". All wind skills learned by level-up are unlearned in the process. Amaya or Eurus will retain their level.
- Frostslayer's normal attacks are imbued with Ice-Killer which does greatly increased damage to any Ice enemy above level 10.
- Frostslayer learns by level up all of the shared basic ice-type skills, which includes: Frostrike, Icestrike, Avalanche, Frostbolt, Ice Spike, Ice Barrage, Icefall, Freeze, and Shatter. Additionally, Frostslayer learns the new magic abilities Blizzard (ice) and Hailstorm (ice-killer).
- Changing from Wind Warrior to Frostslayer will remove the following passive effects: End of turn TP Regeneration, Increased TP Charge Rate, Increased EXP gain, Immunity to Wind-Weak & Air Current, Resistance to TP Degeneration, and On-Hit Air Current.
- Changing from Wind Reaver to Frostslayer will remove the following passive effects: Immunity to Wind-Weak & Air Current, On-Hit Air Current.
- Frostslayer has the following passive effects: End of turn MP Regeneration, Reduced MP Cost, Immunity to Freeze, Deep Freeze, & Slow, Increased Defense from equipment, On-Hit Bleed, and resistance to ice damage.
- Frostslayer for Amaya has the same stat spread from Lv. 1-100 as Wind Warrior, and for Eurus has the same stat spread as Wind Reaver.
- Frostslayer retains Triple-Strike, Swing, Disabling Slice, Silencing Slice, and Thermite Grenade at the same levels as Wind Warrior for Amaya.
- Frostslayer retains Singlehand Stance, Doublehand Stance, Arcane Shock, Swing, and Arcane Shock II for Eurus.
- Frostslayer allows Eurus to equip Straps and Amaya to equip Scabbards. Currently, no Accessory can be equipped to either Wind Warrior or Wind Reaver.
- Singlehand Stance & Doublehand Stance will select from ice instead of wind skills.
New Skills:
- Warpstrike I - V (Arcane, physical), hits a single target X times where X is the level of the skill. Warp 200 per hit. CD: X.
- Warp (Arcane, magic), hits a target once at regular magic power. Warp 200. Additionally may apply the new Warp states @ Warp I (66%), Warp II (50%), Warp III (33%), Warp IV (10%), Warp V (3%).
- Warpblade (Arcane, physical), hits a target once at regular power. This damage bypasses barriers. Warp 200.
- Barrier Shell (non-elemental, magic) applies a 5000 point barrier to self for 1 turn.
- Warpspark - (Electric, magic) hits a target once at regular magic power, plus 1/4th Electric power. Warp 200. May apply Warp III (33%). Unlike other electric skills, this skill benefits from but does not contribute to Electric Power.
New States (Buffs & Debuffs):
Name: Effect per turn. (# of turns)
- Warp I: Removes 10 barrier points. (5)
- Warp II: Removes 100 barrier points. (5)
- Warp III: Removes 500 barrier points. (5)
- Warp IV: Removes 1000 barrier points. (5)
- Warp V: Removes 2500 barrier points. (5).
- Barrier I: Gains 10 barrier points. (5)
- Barrier II: Gains 100 barrier points. (5)
- Barrier III: Gains 250 barrier points. (5)
- Barrier IV: Gains 500 barrier points . (5)
- Barrier V: Gains 1000 barrier points. (5)
Fixes:
- Gazer Trio now resets all world vents and does not give a game over on defeat.
Updates & Changes:
- Bosses in the Colosseum Basement may be challenged repeatedly and no longer have their respawns tied to completing the An'ura Rift upstairs. Winning any boss fight in this area still resets all world vents.
- Blazerblade reflects the new terminology for players acquiring it new.
- "Chance on Hit" is being converted to "On-Hit".
- "Added Effect" and other preface tooltip texts are being removed.
- Avalance I, II, & III now have a TP cost that matches their MP cost.
- Doublehand Stance has additional effects at level 1 and again starting at level 20.
Schedule - 5.1.X
- Yuelslain's Village is on track to be released on December 24th. If a delay is needed, it will release on January 15th instead. This release will begin the 5.1.X branch of the game.
- Yuelslain's Monarch has not been started due to the time it has taken to create Yuelslain's Village, and is hereby officially pushed back to at least January 15th.
- A preliminary design for an expanded Scarlet Cavern has been created. After some tweaking and integration, the original multi-map system of Scarlet Cavern will be Timelost until they are finally removed from the game. This expanded map was created to serve as the second Colosseum event.
- Orc War main story questline is on hold pending the release of Yuelslain's Village and Yuelslain's Monarch, and following that a revamp of the Quest Log system which is currently unsustainable.
- Quest Log revamp will see dialogue and other non-directional text removed, an overall simplified design, and inclusion of quests which are currently excluded.
- At the beginning of 5.2.0, all zones marked as Timelost will be removed from the game to reclaim Map space. RMMV has a maximum number of "Maps" that can be used before it won't let me make any more, and while I did enjoy the multi-map system of dungeons like Den An'ura, it's an unsustainable system moving forward as the game continues to increase in depth.
5.0.14 [Build #109] - Pre-DLC Fixes
Notable updates with this patch:
- New challenge in Colosseum basement.
- Gauntlet temporarily disabled.
- Many... many fixes.
- Some area redesigns.
- Some dialogue fixes for conditions where characters may not be present.
5.0.14 [Build #109, Release Date: December 12, 2021]
Bugs to look for: Report them as a comment to the most recent patch notes or post them directly on the CoA channels using the invite link above!
- If you are able to defeat the Scarlet Cavern boss before it applies its barrier, please reach out and let me know how it's done so it can be fixed! Players who exploit this will permanently miss out on the electric melee abilities for the rest of the game.
Timelost Zones:
- Several locations within the game could not be updated without replacing them altogether to prevent player save issues. If when you load your save file, the map name at the top says "Timelost Zone", simply exit the zone and re-enter to be brought to the new version of the area.
- All four of the original Auria entrance locations have been merged into a single zone, resulting in four timelost locations. They will still transfer between one another. Return to the world map then re-enter Auria to be brought to the new location.
Temporarily Disabled:
- Due to a bug within the Hall of Challengers, the Gauntlet event is disabled.
New (General):
- Mystery Shop now offers a Silver chest in exchange for 3 Mystery Coins. This chest contains tier 2 restorative items, 1k-5k gold, and up to 1 Moderate Tool Kit per box.
New (Colosseum):

- Removed Mao from his house when he should not be there.
- Fixed a dialogue hiccup from when Rose and Jack leave together.
- Fixed a dialogue mistake when talking to Rose at the Phoenix Ash.
- Fixed a condition where the Scarlet cavern boss could be defeated using the Liquefier before Ruby learns Sparkstrike.
- Fixed An'ura Slasher's display level. It's stats were always level 4, but the display for level 12 remained from its original creation.
- Fixed the randomized chest in Den An'ura/Battleground which was giving Oros Weapon Parts and copies of the Expedition Outfit. Basic fruit (apple, orange, grapes, etc) were removed in a previous update.
- Fixed dialogue for the guards who deny entry to Auria after that part of the story has ended.
- Fixed the passability of tables in the Rabbit's Foot.
- Fixed the pickup condition for the recipe book in Rabbit's Foot.

- Removed Miles & Riley's dialogue from Amaya's introduction.
Updates & Changes:
- Redesigned the area between Scarlet Cavern and Den An'ura.
- Increased the average step count per encounter in Den An'ura to 45 in all zones. The Expanse area of Frostbrood Lair remains at 55 and Encampment remains at 65. This change will be most noticeable beginning with Den An'ura / North and areas beyond
- Adjusted some inside areas in Auria to be more in line with the current design of the game and reflect what I've learned since these locations were originally made. Most notable change is the Grand Library.
- Redesigned the Auria/Entrance zone.
- Unified the Rabbit's Foot lodge design and removed dialogue which indicated there was a change.
- Disabled max level restriction.
- Adjusted Rose's reaction to Ruby returning to Lvell.
- Adjusted the Lighthouse internal design.
Known Issues:
- If the first enemy with Rose is defeated too quickly, she won't have the chance to introduce herself.
- The skill "Kinetics" may throw an error if used before a target is acquired. This will be fixed in the next update.
Edit: At 7:05 PM EST, the following was also added to the live build:
5.0.15 [Build #110, Release Date: December 12, 2021]
Fixes:
- Fixed the units involved in the Nexus Waterway scripted Orc battle.
- Fixed an issue where Eurus or Amaya would appear twice at the campsite if the other character had not been obtained yet.
- Prevented a condition where Ruby could walk backward through Scarlet Cavern during the second Campsite scene.

- Removed the mixing station from Orc War Auria / Research Shack.
5.0.13 - Fixes
Blizzard & Hailstorm were accidentally left on Ruby's level-up-tree from their launch test. Anyone who made a new save file in the last few days will have those skills for her at level 1. As of right now, no character on the team is supposed to learn them via level up.
5.0.13 [Build #108, Release Date: December 05, 2021]
Fixes:
- Removed Blizzard and Hailstorm from Ruby's level up tree.
Updates & Changes:
- Removed the Debug Unit from Lvell.
5.0.12 - Rockfist Ursid Questline & Crash Fix
Crash Detail - "Buzz" was calling for "a.mag" damage but the engine can only read the "magic" stat as "a.mat", or "attacker's magic attack" which full crashed the game. This issue is likely to pop up now and again on skills made in early development of the game which haven't been used since, but I'll do my best to be vigilant to prevent this from happening, or at the very least deploy quick patches to fix them!
5.0.12 [Build #107, Release Date: December 02, 2021]
Bugs to look for: Report them as a comment to the most recent patch notes or post them directly on the CoA channels using the invite link above!
- We're still monitoring game crashes after receiving a Mystery Coin after battle, please report it on the Steam community forum with as much detail as you can - troop composition, enemy level, exact loot obtained, etc.
Sha'ri Desert:
- Sigrid needs a brave adventurer's help.
Fixes:
- Fixed a crash relating to the bee-type ability "Buzz".
New Elemental Reaction - Ice-Killer!
- Ice-Killer now does 200% damage to future Ice-type enemies and a stacking 300% to enemies affected by Freeze or Deep Freeze.
- New Ice-type skill Blizzard deals end-of-turn damage equal to ((a.mat * 2) + 40). While affected by the Blizzard state, resistance to Ice-Killer reduced by 100%.
- New Ice-Killer type skill Hailstorm deals end-of-turn damage equal to ((a.mat * 2) + 120).
--- "Ice-Killer" clarification. There are four involved states (debuffs) - Freeze, Deep Freeze, Blizzard, and Hailstorm.
- Freeze is a 1 turn unable to act state with 300% Ice-Killer modifier.
- Deep Freeze is a 1-2 turn unable to act state with 300% Ice-Killer modifier. Also reduces evasion by 100%.
- Blizzard is an Ice-type end-turn DoT with 200% Ice-Killer modifier.
- Hailstorm is an Ice-Killer-type end-turn DoT.
- The modifiers from Freeze, Deep Freeze, and Blizzard will all stack together allowing Hailstorm to do the most damage if a target is affected with all 4 states simultaneously.
- Ice-Killer does not exist as a standalone debuff the way other elements do and currently can not be applied to a target from weapon or item effects.
- Current enemies in Frost Forest and Frostbrood locations are unaffected by this change to ice-type enemies and will not react to additional Ice-Killer damage.
- Ice-Killer, Bird-Killer, and other non-elemental infused skills will do unmitigated non-elemental damage to any target without the corresponding weakness
Updates & Changes:
- Enemy-Skill "Buzz" now costs 0 MP & 75 TP, a change from 33 MP + 10 TP, and can no longer land critical hits.
Upcoming Content Bonus - Christmas Edition
As it is currently in development, details are still subject to change, but here is a brief preview:
Yuelslain's Village - Christmas themed FREE DLC
- Zone accessible from the Colosseum Basement. - Without the DLC installed, will teleport Ruby to an empty room.
- Level 50 event area.
- Unique gear -- 525 Point base set, scaling as high as 600 point for the rarest drops.
- All primary gear slots available (Weapon/Shield/Head/Hands/Body/Feet/Ring) with some additional Accessory pieces.
- Features ice enemies, ice-resistant equipment, and ice-infused weapons.
- For full finalized details, visit the store page once it becomes available.
- Unique "XMAS" enemies are not found anywhere else in the game. Their data files have been included with the game package for some time. Overall additional download size shouldn't be more than 10MB and includes the background music for all Village zones.
- Removal of the DLC while the save file is inside the Village will result in the inability to load the game or the inability to move Ruby along the map.
In addition to the above free DLC, an add-on to the DLC will also be available for $1.99.
Yuelslain's Monarch - Nightmare Unleashed
- Requires ownership of Yuelslain's Village to access.
- $1.99.
- Event area inside Yuelslain's Village becomes a level 100 boss challenge arena.
- Boss loot table TBD
- Removal of the DLC while the save file is in the challenge arena will result in the inability to load the game or the inability to move Ruby along the map.
The creation of these new DLC events is currently taking priority over other in-game additions and other DLC mentioned in previous patch notes. Specifically, Battle Series X (free DLC) & Battle Series I ($$$ DLC) will not arrive until sometime in the spring, and updates to Sha'ri Desert and construction of Sha'ri will resume immediately following deployment of the Yuelslain's Village update beginning with the full resolution of the "Legend of the Rockfist Ursid" questline.
Unless a major crash is discovered or reported between now and Christmas, there will probably be silence on my end until the DLCs are ready to ship. Current target release date for both are Dec. 25th, but I will prepare the store page and launch if they happen to be ready earlier.
Happy thanksgiving everyone! <3
Crash Alert
If the game crashes for you, compile as much detail as you can and reply directly to this post. I believe the crash condition is Mystery Coin has been dropped. If it is, I will remove them from the loot pool altogether for the time being.
Note: The Rockfist Ursid quest isn't finished. This deployment came as an emergency with the idea that the BGM addition and level warning / save restrict warnings removal may lessen crashes.
5.0.11 [Build #106, Release Date: November 17, 2021]
Bugs to look for: Report them as a comment to the most recent patch notes or post them directly on the CoA channels using the invite link above!

Note: Rather than post individual patch notes for every deployed change today, refer to this page for updates. The game version will not change again today in spite of multiple deployments. Additional patch notes found below.
Updates & Changes:
- Increased the average number of steps between random encounters in Sha'ri Desert from 30 to 42.

Sha'ri Desert Notes:
- A preliminary group of enemies have been created and assigned to the Sha'ri Desert along with a handful of NPCs.
- "Legend of the Rockfist Ursid" can be started but not progressed.
- Entrances to sub-zones can not be used.
- It is not possible to exit the Sha'ri Desert on the Eastern side, pending construction of Sha'ri and implementation of the next Orc War quest step.
- Enemies in this zone range from level 11 to 16.
5.0.9 - Final Event Update
I intended to release this update closer to the 15th, but decided in favor of being able to work on the permanent fixtures of Sha'ri Desert in the meantime instead. That is to say: there won't be another update until the 15th.
If you find any bugs, crashes, or anything weird, now's the time to report it! Also, do not save after encountering a bug.
5.0.9 [Build #105, Release Date: November 07, 2021]
Event:
- The event enemies have been completely separated from the Veil and are at their most vulnerable! Challenge these level 30 enemies in the Sha'ri Desert until November 15th!

New:
- Floor 2 of the Gauntlet may now be challenged.
Minigame Megathread
- Hall of Challengers
- Battlefront
- Battle Series X/#
- Battle Tower
- Halloween Event 2021
Over time, this post will be updated with new information for each of the events as they grow and should serve as the permanent reference point for learning about any of these activities as they exist currently today, whatever today is, at all points moving forward.
* indicates a reminder to myself to edit once it is finalized.
Yuelslain's Village
- Yuelslain's Village is a location somewhere outside of Revan, nestled deep within a snowy forest. It's inhabitants are few and are in desperate need of outside intervention.
- Quests obtained in the village appear in the Quest Log and reward various tools used to help resolve the threat of the area.
- This location uses a reputation system. Doing more quests for the villagers will result in the ability to buy or craft better items.
- Battles are set at Lv. 50 or higher. These enemies are Ice and Soul type. Additionally, Normal, Poison, and Dark enemies also appear.
- Gear which can be crafted or dropped starts at 400 points and goes as high as 600. All gear offers some resistance to Ice and associated debuffs.
Battle Series X & Battle Series I-V
- The Battle Series DLCs are dungeon-style battle events accessible from the Veil. Their respective DLCs must be downloaded to enter the zone.
- Battle Series X (BSX) will be available first and for free.
- Subsequent numbered Battle Series events will have a price tag.
- In these areas, the menu and save functions are fully accessible.
- Expect the most challenging of enemies to appear, relative to the level of the content.
-- BSX will be level 50.
-- BSI-BSV levels are TBD.
Battle Series Rewards
- Full custom gear sets are created for each Battle Series DLC.
*- Currently, the Zodiac Set for BSX is 260 points. 40% DEF / 40% MDF / 15% HP / 5% MP. This may change once we are closer to deployment.
*-- BSX set also has a 325-point, 350-point, and 375-point variant, each of which are color indicated for rarity.
*-- 260-point gear can be purchased from the corresponding shop with Astral Tokens, 325-point gear with Astral Coins, and 350+375 point with Zodiac Coins.
*-- Most of the higher tiered gear cannot be purchased, but is instead dropped by the bosses in the area.
*-- Weapons are included in the Zodiac Set.
-- The creation of the Zodiac Set birthed the use of the Disassembly, multi-tiered set, and weapons as part of a set systems. Additionally, this is where the "Ring" was discontinued, leaving only the "Band" and "Signet" ring-type items.
-- All gear from the Zodiac Set can be disassembled into Astral Tokens, Astral Coins, or Zodiac Coins.
- For full details of drop rates and enemies included, see the DLC page when BSX goes live (link will be posted here instead of all the detail).
- Rewards for BSI-BSV are TBD.
Battle Tower
- Game data for this event exists in Agartha to the East past the hole in the ground. Currently inaccessible.
- Battle Tower is meant to be a maze-like ascending battle challenge with different themes.
-- Ex: Player can choose An'ura to challenge An'ura themed enemies all the way up the tower, or Scarlet, Mech, etc.
- More data will be added to this section later if it ever enters development or is finally officially canceled.
Legacy Events
Battlefront
- The Battlefront was an exploration combat mini-game where Ruby controlled nameless mercenaries to set up fortifications on behalf of Lvell in the forest area North of the city.
- Regular teammates were removed from the party.
- Ruby donned her Exploration outfit and class which did not share EXP or gear with the Lightning Warrior class.
- Ruby's allies would flee in combat if they were KO'd at the end of the turn. A new copy of that merc type could be hired at level 1 from the vendor who originally issued them.
- Due to the focus of development shifting toward completing the Orc War campaign, setting up the Battle Series DLCs, and finishing the winter holiday DLCs - the concept was officially scrapped on December 27th, 2021.
The Gauntlet
- Due to an issue with the coding of the Gauntlet event, the concept has been scrapped.
- Development on the Gauntlet was officially terminated on December 27, 2021. Most associated data was also removed at this time, including zones, enemies, and troop data.
Halloween Event - 2021
- Free-roam battles in the newly created Sha'ri Desert from Oct 31, 2021 to Nov 15, 2021.
- Introduced the first craft-able skill book.
- This event permanently moved to the Colosseum Basement on Nov 15th, 2021. The guidebook for the ability "Enraging Flames" remains available.
