This is the perfect chance to increase your party number and to start raiding dungeons together with your friends!
This weeks patch brings the next phase of class improvements to the game, a new test area and some bug fixes.
New Combat Testing Area
We have heard from the players that they would like an area in game to test out abilities, rotations and setups outside of standard dungeon combat. Players can find a new area in the latest patch in the Crypt of Horrors dungeon to do this. The camp is located outside the dungeon gates just down the road from where players load in to the dungeon. There is a single target dummy for solo testing and a few target dummies in close proximity for larger group testing. We intend to possibly add more things to this area in the future.
Class Improvements
We will begin our next phase of improving the classes over the coming months. Below is a list of the initial changes.

Hello adventurers!

Singen – Vagabond Barber Extraordinaire
Singen has finally unlocked his true potential. He’s become a master of the barbering ways, although he’s still grumpy old Singen. He has opened up shop in the Galdrin’s Crossing Hovel! Visit him to change or customize your character, including race, gender, and appearance.
Crafting 2.0 - Star Level Upgrades
A mysterious new villager who goes by the name of Gweyir Dorra has arrived in Galdrin’s Crossing. Gweyir provides players with the magical means to increase the Star Level on items.
Upgrade at Gweyir Dorra
Gweyir Dorra is a new NPC who resides at the Blacksmith in Galdrin’s Crossing. Players may speak with Gweyir Dorra to add and upgrade the Star Level of items.
Gweyir can add and upgrade the star level on Level 15 and higher Superior, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Eternal items.
How it Works
To begin adding and upgrading the Star Level of an item, speak with Gweyir Dorra and select an item.
After selecting an item, players will be able to view the item at the current Star Level and the upgraded Star Level. The type of attributes and bonuses will remain the same when upgrading an item, but with an increased Star Level for higher values.
In order to add and upgrade the next Star Level of an item, players will be required to offer Gweyir some Essence, Gold, and a new item – a Magical Core.
Magical Cores are a new item required to add and upgrade the Star Level of items and may be obtained from Dungeon bosses. While the end boss of a Nightmare or higher difficulty dungeon will always drop a Magical Core, players will still sometimes find Magical Cores from lesser bosses and in easier dungeons.
In addition to requiring Gold and Magical Cores, players will also need to provide Gweyir with enough Essence. The quality of Essence required corresponds to the Quality of the item being upgraded.
Finally, the maximum Star Level of an item will be limited by the Quality of the item. The following is the maximum Star Level of an item based on quality:
Superior – 1 Star
Rare – 2 Stars
Epic – 3 Stars
Legendary – 4 Stars
Eternal – 5 Stars
??? – 6 Stars
New Item Attribute – Account Bound
We have been listening closely to your feedback and are happy to introduce the new Account Bound item property!
Previously, items were often Soulbound, and this prevented players from trading items between their own heroes. Account Bound items allow players to freely store and transfer items through the Bank among all heroes on their account.
New Feature – Account Wide Dungeon Unlocks
We are pleased to announce that unlocking new dungeons and difficulties is now account-wide. When a player unlocks a new dungeon or difficulty on one hero, that dungeon and difficulty will be unlocked for all heroes on your account.
New Feature – Party Level Range Selector
We are happy to announce the implementation of a level range selector in the party tab. Players can now select the level range they want to allow into their party. This will enable players to focus their groups on a specific level range suited to their desired multiplayer experience.
New Feature – Improved Backup System
There have been some unfortunate save data losses occurring for a few of our players. As such, we’ve decided to upgrade how we perform saves within Dungeons of Sundaria. We’re happy to announce that we have revamped the existing save functionality and have created a new Backup system.
Dungeons of Sundaria now creates and maintains the last 5 restore points for player accounts. These restore points are automatically created whenever a player completes a major milestone, such as reaching a dungeon checkpoint or defeating a dungeon boss.
In the event of an unexpected game crash or other events that may have caused data loss in the past, now players should be able to view and restore their account from one of the created Backup restore points.
How it Works
On the Hero Selection screen, players will see a new Backup button below their hero list. Selecting this option will open the Load Backup UI menu. From here, players may select and preview an existing Backup restore point.
Previewing a Backup restore point will allow players to enter Galdrin’s Crossing on their Backup heroes to review the backup restore point.
While previewing a backup restore point, performing transactions in town, crafting items, or entering a dungeon will cause the previewed backup to become the current state. This will remove all existing backup restore points. The character icon and level highlighted in a yellow border refers to the character played during that save.
If a player wants to stop previewing the backup restore point, they may simply return to the Select Hero menu, choose Backups and revert the backup restore point back to the current game state.
We would like to extend our apologies to players that have experienced data loss issues. We hope the new Backup Feature will add a layer of security to player data that was previously missing.
Balancing Changes
Removed Heroism Enemy Scaling on Normal difficulty (i.e., Enemy are capped at their level 15 stats)
Reduced Heroism Enemy Scaling on Hard difficulty by 50%
Reduced the damage of Karg the Merciless, Karg the Unmaker, and The Crypt Lord on Normal difficulty

Dev Journal #4: Happy New Year, Dreadforge & Festering Bog
Happy New Year from Dungeons of Sundaria!
We hope all of you had a wonderful New Year!
You’ve all been asking: When updates? Well, in 2023, we have several exciting features we would like to share with you all today. All features will be coming soon to Dungeons of Sundaria on both PC and Playstation.

We would like to extend our apologies to players that have experienced data loss issues and hope the new Backup Feature vanquishes these issues once and for all.
Looking Ahead to 2023
While we are excited to bring the above features to Dungeons of Sundaria, we have also been hard at work on the remaining Dungeons and other features expected for release in 2023.
The Dreadforge
The Dreadforge will be the 6th dungeon to arrive in Dungeons of Sundaria very soon. With 16 new bosses, a new Class Weapon Set, and deadly new enemies, The Dreadforge will definitely be an engaging and challenging new dungeon experience for players.
The Festering Bog
At the foot of the Ragewind Mountains lies a vast bog. Corpses have decomposed into a great festering peat for centuries as armies sought to siege the mountain castle. Now, this bogland is enthralled by a great host of Undead, with their shambling husks wandering the murky waters.
The Festering Bog will be the 7th dungeon to arrive in Dungeons of Sundaria. We will be providing additional information about the Festering Bog in a future developer update.
This is the start of what we hope will be rewarding and engaging new systems and dungeons for players to further improve and challenge their heroes within Dungeons of Sundaria.
