AND SO MUCH MORE
The amount of changes in this patch is astronomical and going into more detail would both spoil some of the fun of a blind fresh start release, and also make me have to write these notes for way too long! (I do have a game to make >.>)
If you've never played Leafling, or you've played in the past and want to give it another shot, there has truly never been a better time than now! Come join us in Leafling's 0.2 Fresh Start!
Leafling Patch 0.2 "A Fresh Start"
It's Almost Time!
Patch 0.2 is now less than a month away! For those of you not in the know, on November 15th Leafling's 0.2 Patch "A Fresh Start" will be going live with a myriad of game-changing additions and the single biggest content update we've ever had! To celebrate the excitement, I've compiled a massive list of upcoming changes for these pre-patch notes. On release day we'll release more detailed patch notes that will go over numbers and specific changes in detail, but for now this is just a teaser! Without further ado lets get into it.
Fresh Start Server!
Over Leafling's early access period we've gone through many different iterations of tons of different systems to tune everything just right and get things to a stable state. In doing so we've encountered a plethora of bugs, economy crashes, changes to item acquisition difficulty, and more. Due to this, our development process has become skewed and no longer properly reflects the current state of Leafling as many players simply have no need to engage with it. To better facilitate further development and player enjoyment we will be launching Leafling's 0.2 Patch with a Fresh Server. This server will have all players register a new account and play fresh all together just like another release! Fear not, your current legacy characters are still intact and you can visit them whenever you would like, but the legacy server will likely remain quite dead in terms of population until server transfers become enabled after the full release of the game. If you've never played Leafling, or you took a long break, there has never been a better time to jump in than now!!!
Brand New Tutorial!
Leafling's tutorial has lagged behind in quality and effectiveness. These days most players just get confused in the first 5 minutes, and thats not good! So we're completely revamping the tutorial, releasing a larger version of Dreamer's Shore, and adding 5 Levels worth of content to the starter zone as well as fully improving the tutorial with better infographics, better dialogue, and more clear markers that guide players in the right direction.
Level Cap Increased!
Patch 0.2 will include 10 new levels of progression, putting the new Level Cap to 60! All classes will also be gaining 2 additional spells, one at 55 and one at 60. There will also be loads of new gear to obtain, new Level 51 > 60 content, and more!
Trial of Wisdom Reborn
The Trial of Wisdom currently is a relic of a less powerful version of Leafling's engine. And its finally time I unveil the true vision for Trial content. For those of you who love to min max and challenge yourself, this Trial will push even the most skilled, coordinated, and communicative party to its limit. A 10 minute long rush of back to back mechanics, heavy boss damage, intense heal checks, difficult mechanical puzzles to solve, and a very tight DPS check. This fight has been ready for some time now, but I've kept it on the burner to rigorously and intensively test it to make sure everything is right the first time on release.
In addition, Trials will also be gaining their new loot tier system. For the most hardcore among you, collecting a full set of Trial loot is the highest possible achievement in terms of progression in Leafling Online. Here is a breakdown of the new loot system:
*Au'rum will now drop 1 "Runestone of Wisdom" per player, per week. Runestones of Wisdom can be used to purchase new Pinnacle gear from the Au'rum set.
*Trials will now also drop a Chest per player, per week, containing 4 bonus Runestones of (Trial Name). Each player will be rolled randomly for bonus loot. Each player can only receive 1 bonus Runestone per week for a maximum of 2 Runestones per week.
*All Trials future and current will now receive full sets of gear for every weapon type and every armor type per Trial.
*Prices are as follow:
**(Weapon type) of the Omniscient - x8 Runestones of Wisdom
**(Armor type) of the Omniscient - x4 Runestones of Wisdom
**(Off-Hand type) of the Omniscient - x2 Runestones of Wisdom
**Pendant of the Omniscient - x2 Runestones of Wisdom
**Soul of the Omniscient - x8 Runestones of Wisdom
New Zones!
Patch 0.2 will feature the following new zones to explore:
*Lost City - Level 51 > 60 - PvP Disabled
*Hidden Oasis - New Endgame Hub - PvP Disabled
*Scorpion Pass - Lvl 60 - PvP Enabled
*Temple of Qira - Lvl 60 - PvP Enabled
Crafting and Gathering Specializations!
Patch 0.2 will feature a massive overhaul to Crafting and Gathering from a ground level up. Now both Gathering and Crafting are much easier to understand, more respectful of your time, and feature more content, In addition players must now specialize in a Crafting and Gathering profession to craft or gather certain tiers of items. Here are some cliff notes for the changes:
*Gatherers and Crafters can now take on Orders from Craftsman Hall to gain Reputation and rewards. After gaining enough Craftsman Hall Reputation for Gathering or Crafting, you will be offered a quest to select your Specialization. You can only be Specialized into one profession at a time.
*You can change Specializations but it is very expensive and will also reset all of your progress on your current Specialization, so if you ever return you'll have to start over! So choose wisely.
*Crafting Specializations include: Blacksmith, Clothier, Jeweler, Woodworker, and Arcanist, and Chef
*After choosing your Specialization, you can continue to raise your reputation with your new guild (Blacksmith's Guild, Jeweler's Guild, ect) to unlock new Crafting Recipes all the way up to Pinnacle in some cases! Sell your wares to players of other Specializations and use your funds to purchase items you cannot craft yourself!
*Crafting Recipes have all been standardized into an easy to understand formula requiring Raw Materials (metals, wood, cloth, leather) and Reagents (Special crafting items, like a Wolf Claw, or Feather)
*Crafting Recipes have now been balanced based on time-to-acquire to prevent any unnecessarily large or unreasonable timesinks.
*Gathering Specializations include: Miner, Lumberjack, Fisher, Botanist
*Levelling up your Gathering Specialization will allow you to gather higher rarity materials
Season 1!
Patch 0.2 will be the start of our second first Season! For those of you new to the concept, Seasons in Leafling consist of spans of time in which completing certain content will reward your character with Explorer Rank Points. Earn enough Explorer Rank Points and Rank Up! For each Rank you achieve throughout the Season you'll earn exclusive Seasonal rewards as well as plenty of useful items. During that time, PvP Rankings will also be enabled during the Season allowing you to earn even more great rewards for performing well in PvP!
And Much More!
We're just getting started! With a new trial, new raids, new dungeons, gear, gear spells, classes, items, recipes, events, and more, 2023 is looking bright for Artemia! I can't wait to see you all on November 15th :)
Leafling's Fresh Start
Today we would like to announce a Leafling "Fresh Start" Server, a brand new fresh server with no account data. This would be the best time ever to try out Leafling if you are an old-time player and have been gone, or are looking to try it out for the first time!
This is a very big announcement so I want to make a few very important notes clear:
1) This is NOT a full wipe, deletion, or removal of any of your current characters or data, simply a new Server that we will be using for the main Leafling Early Access experience. You will still be able to access your old characters, however they will be unable to interact with, trade with, or enter the Fresh Start Server.
2) The Fresh Start Server will be going live with Season 2 which will feature a large swathe of improvements to the game. These changes include, but are not limited to: Mythical/Pinnacle Acquisition Speed, Legendary Acquisition Speed, Crafting, Levelling, Mini-Games, PvP, Raiding, and more. These changes are specifically designed to accommodate a fresh new server and keep it as healthy as possible while encouraging trade and player economy, as well as increasing the value of items.
3) Playing in the Fresh Start Server can net you amazing rewards on both your new, and old characters!
We will be awarding a Limited-Edition: Title, Aura, Pet, Skin, Cape, and Hat to players who reach multiple progression thresholds in the Fresh Start Server. These special cosmetics will be the last truly Limited-Edition items ever implemented into Leafling and will never be obtainable again in any other way, so now is the time!
More information will be revealed as we near Patch 0.2 and Season 2, thank you all for reading and I hope to see you in a fresh new Artemia!
Pre-Release Patch 0.15
Patch 0.15
It's been a few weeks since our massive Pre-Release 0.1 patch and we haven't slowed down a bit! This upcoming update will address many concerns our Explorers have with multiple facets of gameplay and systems, so let's get right into it!
Currency Adjustments
Currently, as many of you are aware, Leafling suffers from currency bloat.
This is sadly a very easy trap for developers to fall into as you want certain
activities to pertain to certain rewards. And to be clear, there isn't anything
inherently wrong with having a lot of different currencies, but as of now
Leafling's are very disorganized, hard to tell apart from other items, and some are
just downright useless and taking up space.
This update plans to address this by simplifying all current and future currency
forms into a simple and easy to understand format that not only helps now, but
keeps us organized years into the future.
Changes:
- All currencies other than Almas, Mana Tears, and Hearth Clusters will have their
names changed to "Runestone of X" for example, the Dragon's Nest dungeon will drop
"Runestones of Dragonfire"
- An important new Global Currency called "Runestones of Splendor" will be added
that can be spent at the Runestone Vendor.
- A new rotating shop called "The Vault of Splendors" will be opening containing
certain Gear, Pets, Auras, Titles, Skins, Toys, and more will be added to the Runestone
Vendor. Simply speak with him and select "Vault of Splendors" ALL purchases in the
Vault of Splendors will be conducted with Runestones of Splendor
- The Oddities Vendor will have it's shop removed and all sold goods moved to the
Runestone Vendor. To find Oddities Vendor gear, simply speak with the Runestone
Vendor and select "Gear > Raids/Dungeons > Rarity"
Weekly Clear Rewards
*Leafling will be gaining Weekly Clear Rewards on ALL Dungeons
and Raids.
*Once per week, clearing each of these Dungeons or Raids will award
Runestones of Splendor.
*If you are completing Level 50 Content you willALSO receive "Runestones of Vigor"
Runestones of Vigor are a SEASONAL currency that will allow you to buy
very rare and exclusive items that can ONLY be obtained via Runestones of Vigor
including Limited Edition free cosmetics, Gear all the way up to Pinnacle,
and more!
*Each Season the old store for Runestones of Vigor will be removed and replaced
with a new one. You will be able to trade in your remaining Runestones of Vigor for the
new seasonal stone at a 2/10 rate.
2 Player Content
While our overhauls during 0.1 contained huge changes to Solo Gameplay as well as group
gameplay, we got a lot of requests for more content balanced around very small group content
such as 2 or 3 players. So we will be addressing this blind spot.
*Levelling Dungeons will gain an additional mode. When entering a Dungeon you will now have the choice for "Solo, Group, or Challenge Mode". Solo will be the traditional single-player dungeon, Group will be the same dungeon but scaled up per each player, and Challenge Mode will retain its current form as End-Game Level 50 Versions of those Levelling Dungeons.
*A new Roguelite inspired 2-Player game mode is currently in development. More information will be revealed in the future.
Elemental Adaptive Update
Elemental Stats in Leafling fall in a weird spot at the moment where most people would rather ignore them unless their class uses only 1 Scaling. We will be attempting to address this with the addition of Adaptive Elemental Stats. Some spells or gear will scale with, or grant, Neutral Element.
Neutral Elements adapt to your current highest elemental stat allowing more freedom in build making than ever before. Did you want to try a Water Shinobi but all of it's spells scale with Dark? No worries! Most classes will be gaining Adaptive Scaling on some, or all, of their abilities!
This feature is under development and *may* not make it into the release of the 0.15 patch but will be added during it's lifespan
Rune-Knight Full Re-Design
Rune-Knight is a personal favorite Class of mine and was actually
unplanned in the original development of the game. It was added in
solely because I've always loved the spell-slinging swordsman archetype,
and the world of Artemia is ripe with strange runic magicks that haven't
been properly explored. Sadly, since release Rune-Knight has never found
solid ground and the lack of people using it reflect that. This is a full
re-design and reimagination of Rune-Knight to better fulfill it's original
design goal with over a year of added experience in class design.
SPELLS
PASSIVE - Rune Mastery When casting Spells that Scale with Attack, increase your Magic by 50%

Patch 0.15 will be going Live on 8/16 at 5:00pm EST
Leafling Pre-Release 0.1
Hello Explorers!
It's been some time since we've spoken here on Steam.
On December 15th 2020 I released Leafling into the world. Thinking no one would be interested anyway I didn't test very much. On release it was a disaster, server issues, balance issues, players were expecting me to have answers, and a lot of them, and fast. I, to put it plainly, was a complete novice in game development. Running an online game is hard work I've learned! Since then a lot of players have weened off the game, and I watched out surprising player counts dwindle and dwindle. In doing so I gathered as much feedback as possible, eventually accumulating a massive Google Docs sheet that me and the team used to completely re-form the game into what it is now.
We kept quiet as I didn't want to ruin anymore first impressions than I had to. I worked hard every day, our testers stayed and helped up test new content, and our development team put in dozens or even hundreds of hours of volunteer work to make Leafling as fun as it can be.
These patch notes are the accumulation of nearly 2 years of passion, dedication, and hardwork, of me, my development team, and our testers. Please enjoy.
Over 1,000 Items
Over our development we've added over 1,000 collectible items to the game! Collect gear, currencies, upgrades, and more! There is plenty to aim for in Leafling!
In-Game Wiki
Our fully automated In-Game Wiki makes sure you always have access to information about all Items, where to get them, how to craft them, the stats of enemies, where to find enemies, drop tables and more! You can even use the Wiki as a collection tab as every item you own will highlight in green!
Enhanced Boss Fights
Boss Fights now have fun new mechanics to learn and overcome as well as new Tell Markers that make learning and avoiding mechanics extremely intuitive!
Solo Content
One of Leafling's biggest weaknesses on release was that every piece of content at end game required a rather large group. Over the past couple years we've learned that many different types of players enjoy online RPG's and Solo Players are a big part of that! So now you will no longer have to rely on players for normal day-to-day gameplay if you dont wish to and all Levelling Dungeons are now Solo-Able on any class!
To add to this we've also added Solo End-Game progression with the Tower of Hazel's 15 Floor Challenge and even Solo Raids!
Here is a video me attempting (and failing) the Nightscale Solo Raid: https://vimeo.com/729773177
(Apologies Steam does not allow the embedding on non-YouTube videos.)
Small Group Content
Another playstyle that fell through the cracks were the small groups! Not everyone can find a full group of 8 for a full Raid Party, but maybe they have a couple friends online? Small Group Content is now fully supported in Leafling with a variety of activities from 4+ Player Raids, to 2-8 Player Zone Events, 2+ Player Vault Maps, and PvP!
Gear Spells
Of our over 1,000 items, now, every single piece of gear in the entire game has a unique Spell that is given to you while it's equipped. With 5 equipment slots you can choose almost half of all of your spells, essentially creating your own unique class and playstyle. In practice this creates an almost unprecedented level of control over how you play the game and your own unique playstyle. With over 16,000,000,000,000,000,000 potential combinations, you're sure to make the perfect build for you.
Complete Balance Overhaul
Another huge pain point we've tackled is balance! The entire levelling experience has been extensively overhauled and rebalanced to be more accessible, new player friendly, and overall just a smoother experience. Here are a few keynote changes:
*Experience Curves balanced and much more smooth, levelling feels like a breeze now!
*All Gear in the game now has a strict Stat Budget based on Level and Rarity, this allows you to choose your wanted gear spell and not worry about being under any stat budgets!
*All bosses and mobs have been rebalanced
Balance isn't perfect, but we're a lot closer than we were and right now the game feels great! The best part is that if you find something you think is truly unbalanced you can always leave your feedback in our Discord and be heard and your change discussed, it could even go live right away!
Expanded OST
The critically praised Leafling Original Soundtrack created by our amazing composer Akemi has been expanded to feature more tracks across more instances of content. The bangers never end! There will always be more amazing music to listen to as you play Leafling and explore the mysterious and beautiful world of Artemia.
Bye Bye, RNG!
For a long time, I've believed that MMO's have stagnated in a key area. Merit. For too long have most people accepted a system in which a dice roll decides the progression of their character, and not the accomplishments of that character. I for one believe there is a better way forward and I will gladly use Leafling to demonstrate.
For all progression-related drops and gear, RNG has been removed. All dungeons award a unique Token upon being cleared which can be spent on the Gear associated with that dungeon. You'll never be progression locked again. This also includes most Raids, Challenge Dungeons, and Trials.
You will still be able to farm Cosmetics, Consumables, and Crafting Materials with %Chance Droprates.
Enhanced PvP
PvP has been completely enhanced! With new dedicated PvP Scaling we can now effectively balance PvP and PvE seperately. This however doesn't mean that Leafling has the most balanced PvP of all time now, but it does mean that we're on a great path and things feel fun right now! Everything is a mystery and even veterans feel like its a brand new experience and are dipping their toes in to try new builds or tactics.
On top of that there are now Daily Battlegrounds that will launch throughout the day automatically, allowing players to participate in fun battle arenas where the map is as much a danger as other players. All players who participate earn Points that can be redeemed for Trophies and then spent on Gear or other Rewards.
We will also be hosting Weekly officially hosted PvP Tournaments. All players who participate are entitled to rewards.
Class Levels
Leafling now has 32 Classes with more to come! Each Class now has it's own dedicated Levelling experience which adds replayability to earlier content and helps fill the world with various players doing different things! It may sound like a huge chore though! Leveling 32+ times!? Fear not, the grind is not as brutal as it sounds.
After every class you hit Max Level on, you receive a Soul Charm which has its own unique Equipment Slot. This Soul Charm is upgraded for every Max Level Class you achieve and increases Bonus EXP earned all the way up to 500%! After your first couple classes you can max out a new class in a very small time frame.
There is also a unique Pinnacle-Rarity Weapon and Title to earn for achieving Max Level on all classes!
Enhanced Gathering
Gathering has been massively overhauled! There are now 3 Gathering Classes to choose from. These Classes aren't your boring run of the mill gatherers either! Gathering now has powerful Spells to use! Whirlwind a bunch of trees down at once with your axe! Slam your pickaxe down and cause a tremor, bursting ore in an area! Focus your mind to guarantee the catch of a Fish! Gathering is now fun and interactive!
Gathering Dungeons
Gathering Dungeons are a fun new way to gather materials for crafting! At the time of writing, currently only the Mining Dungeon is complete. You can check out footage of what its like here: https://vimeo.com/732344253
Improving Every Day!
Are you unhappy with some aspect of Leafling? Do you think something should work better or in a different way? The best part of Leafling is that we have a 100% open door community and open discussion every day about the game, it's features, and it's future. We may not always agree but your feedback is ALWAYS heard and we want the best Leafling just the same as you do!
We also try our best to do daily updates. We don't always make it in time, but theres always something to do in Leafling and something new to try!
Now is the best time to try Leafling!
Thank you all for reading, it has been an insane ride. Thank you to every single person who's taken part in Leafling's journey up to now, even those of you who didn't like it and especially those of you who stuck around to help get the game to where it is now <3
Leafling's Pre-Release 0.1 Patch will be going Live tonight at 5:00pm EST
Leafling Patch 1.9 - New Player Experience Overhaul
We've reworked the entire early game experience to better explain systems to you and help better gear you towards max level, where you can begin looking into learning raids or competing in PvP
Below are our massive patch notes for this patch:
*Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary Enchantments have been increased in power
*Mythic Enchantments have been boosted up to adjust for the loss of level-up stats on level 50 release
*Two new Mythic prefixes and suffixes have been added to the enchanting pool
*Leveling mobs can now drop gear
*XP on mobs adjusted slightly for each area
*Kobolds have become slightly weaker
*Party XP is now shared over a larger radius
*The Miner's Cove progression has been tuned, new players should no longer see no active quests and have to kill an abundance of mobs to progress
*Miner's Cove mobs have been tuned down
*Seabreeze Ruin's XP curve has been balanced between the quests so one quest isnt jolting you multiple levels ahead
*Early quests and MSQ quests now award slightly less XP as to not rush new players through learning early mechanics
*The first stage of Reliquary weapon quests can now be started at Level 30 for Acolyte and Hunter, these will give newer players a clear progression path to their first mythic that will be useful to each unique class. All classes will eventually recieve their own Reliquary weapons and questlines
(We are aware of a bug with the Acolyte questline not properly displaying information, this is being investigated)
*New Harvesting nodes are being added to add diversity to harvesting with new rare resources that spawn in small numbers in secluded areas
*Harvester profession is being added, this profession can harvest different flowers and flaxes for fibers to be used in crafting
*Essence-Weaver profession is being added, this profession can harvest Elemental Essences of varying qualities from sources throughout the world
*Raw materials are being slightly reworked and will follow generic Quality tiers instead of specific resource drops, this allows us for freedom in drops, for example having a tree drop both "Quality Logs" and "Mana-Infused Logs" while still making sense, this also applies to fibers, and hides
*Harvesting requirements are being shifted around to be less static, more harvesting nodes will be available per few levels in each profession
*All harvesting professions can now sell their raw materials to vendors for increased sell prices should they not be able to find a player to buy them or need them for crafting
*Harvesting now has new animations
*Nearly all crafts in the game post-rework will require new unique harvesting drops to add more worth to harvesting and crafting in the game economy and progression
*You can now level from 1-50 without performing ANY combat, there are now Provision missions for our purely trade-skill players, collect a randomized quest from a pool from the provisions officer and deliver the required materials to the provision officer for alma, mana tear, and experience rewards. When enough provision quests have been completed a global message will play alerting players that the city who's provisions were finished has gained "Bountiful Status" for a duration, increasing the drop rates of rare materials from harvesting nodes and mobs
*New Titles and Auras will be available for harvesting and crafting achievement rewards
*Certain cosmetics can now be crafted from rare harvesting materials
*Fossils now have a higher drop rate on Manacite and higher ores
*Fixed a bug causing the Provision quest to sometimes consume the items twice
*Now every dungeon in the game will have a full corresponding set including 1 of each weapon type, 1 of each armor type, 1 of each off-hand type, 1 accessory, and 1 soul, these gear pieces can be earned by trading in tokens you receive
ASCENSION
*Do you like a piece of gear's ability? but its fallen behind in levels and you dont want to just throw it away?
*Ascension will allow you to collect Ascension Jewels, a prestigious resource that can transform a Legendary or higher item into a Level 50 version of it, increasing it's stats, and granting an improved version of that gear's ability
*All dungeon gear listed and going forward that is under level 50 can be ascended
NEW DUNGEONS
*Treant is getting his own themed dungeon in Elderwood Grove
*Dragon's Nest is being reworked into a fully fledged dungeon
*A new non-challenge dungeon is coming to Thundering Plateau
*Breezewalk's boss arena is becoming a fully fledged dungeon
DUNGEON CACHES
*Dungeon Caches now have a small chance to spawn after a boss kill, opening these caches will allow you to draw from a massive loot pool, granting you crafting resources, gear, almas, or even crystals if youre lucky!
QUALITY OF LIFE
*Bank space has been increased from 200 slots > 1,000
DUNGEONS
*The Treant Dungeon has been added and it's new vendor shop is live
*Dragon's Nest has been updated and now has a new vendor shop
*Each color of Dragon now has a chance to drop a colored key, use all three keys on the totems in Dragon's Nest to unlock the way to Nightscale, a new level 50 boss with a new Mythical Soul drop
DUNGEONS
*Zephyr's Tomb has been released
*Zephyr's Tomb mobs EXP increased by 10%
*Dungeon mobs now have a small chance to drop Dungeon Tokens, along with new area based quests that can also award tokens, this should help our solo players when they cant find a group still be able to farm for their next set of gear
DUNGEONS
The Fountain of Spring level 50 dungeon is now available in Breezewalk Meadow along with a full new set of gear
*Gear crafts now sometimes require Crafting Components, Components act differently than materials as you'll only ever need 1 for a craft. These components range from Rare-Mythic and can drop from a variety of content. Some gear that was dropped before can now only be crafted, and vice versa
*Blueprints are coming to the game. Blueprints are Portable unique Crafting Benches that feature their own unique crafting recipes for each different Blueprint. These Blueprints tend to be extremely rare and can offer a way to obtain gear not obtainable in any other way. To use a Blueprint, just click it in your inventory
*All crafting recipes now require much less quantities of crafting materials in exchange for their Component requirements
*Crafting Provisions are coming to the game, speak with the head of Craftsman Hall in Journeyman's Respite to begin a Crafting turn-in provision. These provisions will grant you a Blueprint and require you to craft X of the item and turn it in for a reward and experience
*Completing Crafting Provisions will raise your Reputation with Craftsman Hall, granting you access to new crafting benches as you ascend the ranks
*You can now harvest Essences from the map of different Elements
*Elemental Essences can now be upgraded at the Essence Weaver in Craftsman Hall
*All bosses with an elemental affinity now have a chance to drop each tier of essence
*New Crafting Components: Silver Eye, Enchanted Musicbox, Silver Heart, Olympian Torch, Enchanted Slime, Phoenix Feather, Aphrodite's Mirror, and Infused Relic now drop from certain mobs and bosses
*Sweet Tree Sap, Preserved Fossil, and Buried Geode have had their drop rates increased
*New Crafting Recipes are live
*Token drop rate on dungeon mobs increased
*Sometimes bosses will drop multiple tokens if you're lucky!
*Ascension, Levelling quests, and provision updates are next and will be focused on tonight and into tomorrow morning!

CRIMSON MEADOW
Crimson Meadow is a large map with 5 strongholds spread across it. In each of these strongholds players will find a Sentinel and a Capture Point. Players can work together with their Nation to fend off enemy players and capture the Capture Point. Once a Capture Point has been defeated it will change colors to your Nation's, and at the end of a 5 minute timer, whatever Nation owns the point will claim the rewards! Sentinels act as defensive golems that pack a serious punch! They will fight with the Nation who owns a Capture Point, defending it from enemy attacks.
Participating in Crimson Meadow will earn you Crimson Points which you can redeem for a unique currency. This currency can be used to purchase powerful Mythic PvP equipment that offer a wealth of player choice and upgrade potential.
Next update you can expect Season 1 to begin! This will mark a huge milestone in the Leafling journey and I hope to see a bunch of you there! Remember to join our Discord for direct conversation with the developers, asking questions, making suggestions, and getting news first!
