We are thrilled to unveil the massive Phase 3 Update Notes for RavenQuest! Packed with exciting changes, balances, and groundbreaking new features, this update is a testament to the relentless pace, passion, and dedication of our development team. We’re setting a bold new standard for Web3 gaming, and this is just the beginning.

The Core of RavenQuest’s massive Phase 3 Update are the new Renown System, Feed the Munk System and the NFT Testnet. All of these are essential to the Web3 side of RavenQuest and an integral gameplay loop to your earning in RavenQuest. 

To support these systems, we’ve built out new events, new overhauls to crafting & gathering, expansions to creature families, new spawns and overall content, buffs to Party Hunting and improvements to Land &  Housing so that you can make the most of your time in RavenQuest and begin to build your Legacy!

There are so many more new features to list, but let’s not delay. Now sit back, and enjoy our biggest update yet.

Greetings and Merry Emberveil to all our adventurers! This year, as we approach the festive season, the people of Ravencrest are wrapping presents, decorating their homes and preparing for the arrival of Father Beard and his Munk Helpers.

Seeking to make this the biggest celebration yet, with many moving parts and many ways to participate, whether it’s crafting, fighting creatures, completing dynamic events or traveling around the world exploring, Emberveil Gifts are waiting to be unwrapped!

Tomorrow, a special DevBlog on Emberveil will be released to help you prepare for the upcoming Christmas celebration—stay tuned!

Ravencrest is alive with the Christmas Spirit!

The world of RavenQuest is expanding — not just in content, but in connectivity! We’re thrilled to introduce Regional Channels, a new feature to ensure the smoothest gameplay experience. 

You’ll now be able to connect to your preferred server location for the fastest connection possible, all while staying connected with friends, guildmates, and trading partners worldwide. This isn’t a new World or Server — it’s an option to choose the server location that offers the best connection for your adventures!

Click here to access the DevBlog to understand what these Regional Channels mean for you!
 

With Phase 3, we are also introducing the Renown System, a new mechanic centered around rewarding $QUEST Tokens for building the Renown of your character through adventure, exploration and accumulation of wealth! 
The core idea behind the Renown System is to provide a tangible, earnable resource in-game that would translate into weekly rewards from a shared pool of $QUEST Tokens. 
The more Renown an individual possesses relative to other adventurers, the bigger their share of the pool becomes! Let's dive straight into the different means of earning Renown:

• Leveling Up — One third of the Legacy Level of the character rounded up translated directly into Renown, however once your Legacy Level rises above 75, this value increases significantly.
   
• RavenCards — Renown is generated based on the rarity of each RavenCard in a character's Collection, however removing a card from the Collection of RavenCards will affect this value. Renown is only considered for 1 RavenCard per rarity so there's no need to hold duplicates of the same rarity.
   
• Outfit Cosmetics — For the fashionistas in the community, collecting different tiers of Outfits will reward Renown for each one in your Collection. If for any reason an Outfit is no longer in possession, the contribution it offers towards Renown is removed.
   
• House Decorations — The homes of adventurers are also their status symbols and displaying an impressive Collection of House Decorations will boost their Renown among peers and onlookers. Only unique Decorations will count towards the total Renown score.
   
• Reputation — What good is an adventurer without a Reputation to their name? The more deeds and acts of heroism that are performed, the more their names are sung of by bards in tavern, spreading their Renown far and wide!
   
• Achievements — When all adventuring and braving the unknown are done with, every adventurer needs stories to tell, Achievements to boast of, and through every conquered milestone, their Renown only grows with the record of their deeds.
   
• Journal  — Exploration is key to the success of every seasoned adventurer, and as they venture into the unknown, recording the dangers as well as treasures they encounter, their Renown grows with their experience! Every entry into the Journal Collection will contribute to Renown.
   
• Patron Status — At the end of the day, it is through loyal Patrons that the world of RavenQuest can continue turning and so their Renown takes a life of its own. Known to both commoners and kings alike!
   
• Munk Profile NFT — Loyal, hardworking Munks form the backbone of many industries and by paying tribute to these hardy folk, they provide a significant boost to the Renown of their admirers. The rarity of the Munk Profile NFT affects the Renown bonus received.

Note: Patron Status and Munk Profile NFT do not stack with each other. These bonuses are applied separately to Renown.

Note: You will see the $QUEST received through Renown on your Account Panel, but during Phase 3 all the processes related to Renown are only part of a test.
 

The Renown Interface can be accessed through the Main Menu, or by pressing CTRL + U.

One of the biggest (both literally and figuratively) additions to RavenQuest in this Phase is the Hungry Munk, who now sits just across from the Community Land, Ravencrest. This special Munk is not only giant in size, but possesses a gigantic appetite for resources of all kinds and will reward all who bring it offerings!

Similar to Renown, this is a new mechanic centered around rewarding Dawn Essence on a daily basis. Feed the Munk with materials everyday to participate in its Dawn Essence Daily Pool!

All Adventurers over Legacy Level 40 (Level 15 for Phase 3) are able to give offerings to the Hungry Munk by interacting with it, and each donor will be rewarded with Munk Tickets, which is given based on the materials donated and reflects the amount of Dawn Essence that you will get from the daily pool.

Due to the enterprising nature of Munks, the Hungry Munk also requires an amount of Silver alongside the offering, which is also calculated based on the materials donated.

Acceptable materials come from the following professions and will be in a schedule rotation so that Adventurers can plan ahead:

• Alchemy
• Blacksmithing
• Carpentry
• Weaving
• Cooking
   

The Hungry Munk will always start out not quite living up to its name, however the more offerings it receives from the community, the larger it becomes! The tracking of its size and next growth phase can all be seen inside the UI Panel that has been developed specifically for the Hungry Munk, and each time it grows in size, the daily pool of Dawn Essence grows with it!

Please note that a minimum of 100 Munk Tickets are required to qualify for the Dawn Essence rewards.

Note: The Hungry Munk will be available from December 9th onward.
 

It's not really clear if the Giant Munk is an attraction for other Munks to profit on or some kind of deity they feel compelled to satiate using Adventurers… 

One of the main mechanics being introduced with Phase 3 is the Withdrawable Inventory (CTRL + I). 

By accessing the Withdrawable Inventory, which becomes available from Legacy Level 15, players will be able to check and sort all the assets that are currently deposited and active in the game, such as their Lands, RavenCards, Moas, Outfit Cosmetics, Transport Cosmetics and House Decorations.

As the name implies, it is through this Interface that players will be able to withdraw assets from the game to the Website. However, this action will make the asset no longer active and available in-game, unless it is deposited again through the Website.

Note: During Phase 3, all processes related to the withdrawal and deposit of assets will only be part of a test.

Withdrawable Inventory Interface (CTRL + I)

The wait is over, and it's time to elevate your journeys! Get ready to experience a whole new level of immersion as each region now boasts its own unique ambient soundtrack. From the serene shores to the darkest depths, every note is crafted to pull you deeper into the world:

RavenQuest is a living, breathing world that never stops evolving — and neither do we! We're constantly seeking ways to deliver fresh, thrilling content while bringing new life into the old. Following this philosophy, we're happy to announce new Quests and Events for Frost Steppes and Elder Coast!

We've also taken a deep dive into our older Events, fine-tuning their mechanics and rewards to align with today’s most engaging content. Not only are these events more rewarding, but we've also reactivated several previously dormant events, bringing a surge of energy back into the game:
 

Early Story Quests Improvements

To help players in the early game have a better understanding of certain core mechanics, we're making a few small improvements to a couple of Story Quests:

• Game Meat — Level 5
  Added a new task before the end of the quest that teaches how and where creature products can be sold.
  Adjusted NPC Brigda's dialogue to reflect the new task.
• The Lighthouse Keeper — Level 11
  Added a new task before the end of the quest that teaches how to craft a wagon and where it can be done.
   

New Events

• Winter Night Ritual (Dynamic) — Frost Steppes, Level 64
  The Yornish have their own customs and rituals. In the dark of night, they perform them away from prying eyes...
• Blood Bowl (Environmental) — Frost Steppes, Level 73
  Each Yornish settlement has their own rights of passage and entertainment. The Yornish of Yorn'omaala enjoy the spectacle of blood sports and any who answer the call of the Herald may challenge the Yornish Champion.
• Prison on the Peak (Environmental) — Frost Steppes, Level 77
  The Titan Claws are a desolate and dangerous place, filled with long-forgotten magic. However, something has begun to stir on those peaks. Something ancient and hungry....
• Primal Stampede (Dynamic) — Frost Steppes, Level 68
  Mammoth Bulls are known for their territorial nature and occasionally they even band together to remove intruders.
• Bloody Infestation (Environmental) — Elder Coast, Level 72
  A strange malaise has been set upon dwarven miners as a renowned physician seeks to uncover the source of the sickness and apply a truly dwarven cure to the afflicted.
   

Improvements to Existing Events

As we examine events new and old, we are bringing forward some changes to some Events in order to revamp their trigger conditions as previously they were too difficult or practically impossible to activate. Alongside changing the trigger conditions we are also adjusting rewards and fixing text information in order to better clarify task requirements.

Firstly, we are bringing forward an Event that could not be triggered previously, improving the overall design and adding to the content in Hadarak Desert:

• As Sharp as Wind (Dynamic) — Hadarak Desert, Level 42.
  The sands of the Hadarak conceal many ancient secrets and powerful magic. Djinns have many buried temples and the potent magic within occasionally creates cracks, causing some of these beings to escape and reach the surface. When this happens, they can pose a threat to the people of Dras Narda and must be stopped. 
   

Finally, Undead Harvesting was enabled again and changes were made to it. The overall changes are intended to add clarity to the event, improve the rate of successful completion and allow for the event to trigger more frequently, but less predictably. 

One of the key points to these changes is to encourage and underline the importance of working with other adventurers to complete the event in the most efficient manner possible.

• Undead Harvesting (Dynamic) — Level 74:
  • Increased the event's trigger chance.
  • Removed the requirement for the region to be in a state of Conflict or War; the event can now trigger during Peace.
  • Expanded the system message triggered from starting the event to play for everyone in Glaceforde.
  • Added a failsafe if players exit the event area with the quest item Malgar's Device and speak to the quest giver. This will remove the quest item in order to provide the correct normal inventory item.
  • The failsafe ticking rate has been increased, reducing the time required for the event to be guaranteed to activate by 25%.
  • Removed players ability to teleport outside the event area even while the event is inactive.
  • Taking damage now interrupts channeling the interaction with the leghold trap.
  • Task two will now always trigger.
  • Increased the number of Frostrisen required to be fished or harvested on task two to 12.
  • Increased the number of Frostrisen required to be fished or harvested on task three to 16.
  • Adjusted the chances for different Frostrisen skeletons to be spawned during task one, two and three.
  • Increased the drop rates of Frostrisen Shards from all creatures.
  • Reduced contribution points received from harvesting Frostrisen to 400.
  • Added a fourth task with a chance to trigger.

 
One of our big focal points at this time is the expansion of creature families with new, stronger members that provide more Experience and a greater challenge to high level players! 

In this Update, we are adding new creatures to the Skorn, Hookmasks and Winterborn families! More information can be found below:

Hookmask Family

• Hookmask Adept — Higher ranking members among the alchemists of the Hookmasks, the Adepts are well versed in the bodily transformation experiments that the brigands engage in. They are trusted to control and command the more wild and unpredictable Hookmask creations.
• Hookmask Sigma — Occasionally the serum that produces Hookmask Ragers has a side effect that transforms the users body. The skin on their back is ripped open as three tentacles sprout out of the resulting wounds. The entire process renders the minds of these individuals highly unstable and in constant need of supervision by Hookmask Adepts, who use various scents to keep them under control.
• Hookmask Gamma — Ambitious alchemists saw an opportunity to take control of the mutations that take place when creating a Hookmask Unleashed and started work on Project Gamma. Through careful experimentation, they were able to steer these mutations and have them take on poisonous properties that improved the subjects ability to control larger areas and spread diseases.

Skorn Family

• Skorn Fanatic — Masked from head to toe, these crazed lunatics are said to have carved demonic symbols into their flesh to be closer to their otherworldly masters. Each one is pledged to serve a demon from Pandemonium, imbuing them with greater power than other, less devoted cultists.
• Skorn Dreadknight — Among the ranks of Skorn's followers, few inspire fear quite like the Dreadknights. Few in number and rarely seen outside their foul temples, whenever these champions of Pandemonium do venture out, they spread fear and desolation to everything they touch. Lorekeepers believe that a Dreadknight’s mortal soul is stitched to that of a demon by Demonologists and two become one.
• Skorn Demonologist — Few individuals are as terrifying as Skorn Demonologists. Having spent many decades learning from Skorn's writings, they are capable of commanding and summoning not only demons, but other monsters to aid them in battle. A fanatical servant of demons is a threat, but a mortal capable of taming demons is to be feared absolutely.
   

 Winterborn Family

• Winterborn Icebreaker — It wasn't well understood how the Winterborn managed to carve out their settlements on the frozen continent, until the Icebreakers were witnessed creating tunnels and shaping the ice itself to serve their people's needs. While they primarily act as builders, long hours spent breaking apart ice and frozen earth have made them incredibly strong and resilient warriors not to be underestimated.
• Winterborn Iceguard — Among the Winterborn, all must earn their place by proving their value to the community, and the Iceguard are only chosen from the best of the best to serve as protectors and bodyguards of renowned leaders. Each Iceguard's armor is specially created and enchanted with the ice magic of the Frostmancers to only obey them, with no two ever being exactly the same.
• Winterborn Frostmancer — Masters of ice and frost, the elder mages of the Winterborn are as respected as they are feared by their people. Many whisper that to reach this level of mastery requires them to give up a part of their soul to the harshness of Glaceforde and freeze their hearts so that they may never feel the love or warmth of another. The truth is perhaps somewhere in between, as surely such power does not come without a price to pay…
   

 Creature Edits

• Winterborn Guardian — Adjusted creature all skill values to better follow other creature designs.
• Winterborn Hunter — Adjusted the AP/DP ratio to favor offensive power over defense and adjusted Coldblast skill to better follow other creature designs.
• Winterborn Shaman — Adjusted the AP/DP ratio to favor offensive power over defense. Removed Frost Tip Arrow as a skill and added Winterborn Spirit Rangers as a new skill.
• Brotherhood Ranger — Changed the asset's color tone.

The addition of new high-level creatures is just a start of the process as other families are already planned to receive more attention in the near future!

Among the general changes to party hunting bonuses, detection and pursuit range, for Phase 3 we are adding a total of 7 brand new creature hunting spawns, improving the layouts of 2 existing spawns and revamping the skill and abilities of bosses that were still following older designs.

The intention behind all these additions is to provide more challenges and options for those who are seeking to be the first to reach Legacy Level 75 while not forgetting those who want to play at a more casual pace and level with their friends.

Let’s head straight into the update and breakdown all the changes!
 

Party Hunting

In an effort to increase the appeal of hunting creatures with multiple friends, we are bringing forth a buff to larger parties hunting together as well as a new effect for those in a party that will boost item drop rates from creatures!

• Increased Experience earned in parties of 3 players or more, proportionally to the size of the party.
• Added a new item drop chance boosting mechanic for any party with 2 or more players.

New High Level Spawns

• Hookmask Spawn beneath Aurum Hold and Silvercliff Hills — Level 82-86
  Among those few who have managed to escape the Hookmask bandit's clutches, stories were passed around of the dark, twisted laboratories that lie deep under Aurum Hold. Based on the descriptions provided, they're more akin to torture chambers than places of learning, however it was not until a certain turncoat was interrogated that the truth behind that cursed place emerged. In all their pursuit of ways to cheat death, Hookmask alchemists created monsters that even they could not fully control, and in order to protect themselves they locked their creations away. Whether the locks would hold them is another matter entirely….
• Skorn Spawn under Fiend's Eye — Level 83-85
  A new detachment of Skorn cultists has been sighted heading deep underground to perform their profane rituals and cavort with demons. There are even rumors of Dreadknights and Demonologists amidst their ranks. Any who would attempt an assault on these traitors to mankind are sure to encounter Skorn Fanatics - madmen willing to give up their lives for their despicable masters.
• Winterborn Spawn under Matchwood Camp — Level 81-84
  While the Winterborn settlement occupies a wide area on the surface, the strongest of the Winterborn are found below, including the ferocious Winterborn Icebreakers and Iceguards along with the powerful Frostmancers.
• Minotaur Spawn under Mount Minos — Level 80-84
  Recent ventures into Mount Minos by determined spelunkers have yielded rumors of expansive hidden chambers deep below the mountain. It seems that whatever entry route was discovered, the explorers were not eager to share all of the secrets they learned
• Shark Spawn under Sharpa Keys — Level 77-80
  Ever greedy for more stolen goods, the sharks near Tarmire have dug out new tunnels to stash their ill gotten gains. Veterans willing to delve deep and root out these vile brigands are encouraged to reduce the pressure on all merchant ships passing through Sharpa Keys.
• Troll Spawn under Tarnag Mountain — Level 75-78
  Whispers abound in Riverend that a new clan of trolls has settled in the caverns deep below Tarnag Mountain. Far stronger and more dangerous than their surface kin, all but the most experienced of adventurers are advised to stay away.
• Orc Spawn under Orkvesh — Level 73-75
  For years now, the hills of Orkvesh were known to be inhabited by a tribe of orcs, however until recently the Lorekeep believed they were merely a group originating from Orkwatch. Now, it turns out that they were merely the exiles from a much more powerful tribe who inhabit caverns deep below Orkvesh. These orcs are reportedly engaging in blood sports, throwing captives and one another into brutal arena-like battles. Take heed if you intend to travel to the area.

Current Spawns Revamp

• Revamped the Demon spawn below the Riftsand — Level 75-79
  The area shape was changed and a new extension has been added for better rotation and maneuverability.

Demons are fickle creatures and love to indulge in chaos. Tired of their cramped home, they have taken to destroying cave walls and opening new tunnels in an effort to shake things up!

• Revamped the Warhogs spawn in the Tuskan Highlands — Level 79-82

Brutal fights over food and space are common among the Warhogs and the stronger they are, the more they battle one another for supremacy. It appears that recent turmoil has not only reshaped their society, but their home too. New passages and connections have appeared.
 

Creature Hunting Improvements

Looking to improve the creature hunting experience, we're introducing a few adjustments to creature detection range and Aether Stone duration. The new values will be carefully observed and further changes will be implemented as and when they are needed:

• Increased Aether Stone duration from 3 to 5 minutes.
  No longer will your prize slip as easily through your fingers if you happen to miss it while rotating through a creature spawn.
• Increased the pursuit range of creatures when leaving their spawn location from 32 to 50 tiles. This change is only applied to creatures that are Level 50 or higher.
  The tougher the creature, the less concerned it is about venturing too far from home!
• Increase the base detection range for creatures that are Level 50 or higher by 2 tiles. Note that the maximum and minimum detection range based on level difference remains the same.
  Stronger creatures will also become hostile from farther away, confident in their ability to send you running from their home!

Overall, more experienced Adventurers will draw more attention to themselves improving their efficiency, while newbies will not have their leveling negatively impacted.

Note that adjustments to creature pursuit and base detection range will not apply to Aether Rift creatures.
 

Existing Bosses Overhaul

As part of an ongoing effort to bring older pieces of content up to modern practices, several boss creature designs have received an overhaul to their mechanics. The focus has been on improving player experience by removing instant effect abilities and introducing telegraphed skills that offer opportunities for counterplay and a more dynamic battlefield. The updated bosses are as follows:

• Bloodthirsty Kaiman
• Golden Guardian
• Shieldback Croc
• Tar Colossus

We'll leave the specifics of each boss's skills for you to discover through play. However, the Tar Colossus has undergone the most significant change, with all of its skills being revamped and several new ones added, bringing the total to seven skills.

Previously, players had access to an excessive number of skills because inactive Archetypes provided a significant amount of both Skill Points and Attribute Points. This allowed classes to become overly versatile, often fulfilling multiple roles simultaneously, such as tank, healer, DPS, and burst damage dealer.

It also created a situation where players can become quickly overwhelmed by the abundance of skills and end up not using most of them in active play, preferring a more controlled tighter rotation.

To address this, the system has been reworked to reduce some of this extra power by removing Attribute Points gained from inactive Archetypes. However, Skill Points from inactive Archetypes have been retained to ensure there is still a meaningful reward for leveling them.

These Skill Points now play a crucial role in upgrading existing skills, encouraging specialization and improving the effectiveness of selected abilities.

By reducing the overall number of skills while enhancing those that remain, this change aims to promote class specialization and create a more balanced and focused gameplay experience. We'll break down the changes to Skill Points below.
 

Inactive Attribute Points

• Players no longer receive Attribute Points from inactive Archetypes.
   

Skill Point Allocation Limit

• Players can now only use a maximum of 50 Skill Points for unlocking active and passive skills.
• Any Skill Points beyond this threshold must be used solely for upgrading unlocked skills.
   

Skill Upgrade System

• Each skill now has 3 upgrade tiers with progressively increasing costs.
   

Upgrade costs are standardized across skill tiers

• Tier 1: Costs 1/2/3 Skill Points (6 total).
• Tier 2: Costs 2/4/6 Skill Points (12 total).
• Tier 3: Costs 3/6/9 Skill Points (18 total).
• Tier 4: Costs 4/8/12 Skill Points (24 total).
• Tier 5: Costs 5/10/15 Skill Points (30 total)
   

RavenCard Rarity Improvement

• Skill upgrades increase the rarity of RavenCards equipped on the skill.
  • Upgrade 1: +1 RavenCard Rarity (total).
  • Upgrade 2: +2 RavenCard Rarity (total).
  • Upgrade 3: +3 RavenCard Rarity (total).
• Rarity bonuses allow RavenCards to exceed the current maximum rarity of 7.
   

Skill upgrades reduce the cooldown of the skill:

• Upgrade 1: 8% total cooldown reduction.
• Upgrade 2: 20% total cooldown reduction.
• Upgrade 3: 35% total cooldown reduction.
   

With this Update, we are introducing a new UI to improve visibility and understanding of the Threat/Aggro System. This is a toggleable option in your Settings ➝ Windows menu, labeled as Threat Indicators and by default this option will be turned on.

This feature mainly concerns the Monster Threat Bars and Monster Outline Bars, both of which follow the same logic. 

What is described below is how the Threat indicators work in a party setting or when multiple people fight the same enemy:

• Grey — Indicates a Low Threat Zone: Your Threat level is under 85%.
  This means that the creature has not taken an interest in attacking you yet.
• Green — Indicates a Medium Threat Zone: Your Threat level is between 85% and 99%.
  This means that the creature has taken notice and may engage you in combat if you continue increasing the Threat level. 
• Yellow — Indicates a High Threat Zone: Your Threat level is between 101% and 120%.
  This means that the creature has taken notice and will soon engage you in combat if you maintain this high level of Threat. If the creature engages with you, the indicator will turn orange. However, if there is already another Primary Target, the creature won’t switch to you while in the yellow zone, as this zone falls below the current Threat Threshold.
• Orange — Indicates the Primary Target (Primary Threat Holder): Your Threat level is set at 100% and everyone else's Threat is a percentage of your total.
  This means the creature is engaged and fighting you directly as their primary foe. Enemy Threat level is set at 100% and everyone else's Threat is a percentage of your total.
• Red — Indicates the Highest Threat. Your Threat level is higher than 120%, the current Threat Threshold.
  This means that you have generated the most Threat, but it does not necessarily mean that you are the Primary Target yet as Threat updates periodically. If Threat Swap occurs, you will become a new Primary Target and the indicator will turn orange.
• Pink — Indicates the Provoked Status. This means that the creature has been Provoked and their normal Threat levels have been overwritten to target the Provoking player. Once the Provoked Status is over, the creature returns their focus on the Primary Target as normal.

To understand the difference between the Highest Threat and the Primary Target, what must be kept in mind is that when there is more than one person involved in a fight, the Threat generated by all players other than the Primary Target will be displayed as percentages of their Threat level.

This means that while an individual can exceed the Threat level of the Primary Target, they need to maintain this level consistently before the Primary Target loses the attention of the creature.
 

Monster Threat Bars

To clarify the Threat Indicator system, remember these key points when viewing Monster Threat Bars:

• Your current Threat level and percentage are shown above the bar, in the middle.
• The left side shows the nickname of the Primary Target (Primary Threat Holder).
• The percentage of the current Highest Threat is shown on the right.

These three indicators can belong to different players, as the Primary Target doesn’t always have the Highest Threat, and your own Threat level might be lower than that of the Primary Target. Now, let's break down three scenarios using Player 1 (you) and Player 2 (a party member):
 

Scenario 1: You Are Both the Primary Target and Hold the Highest Threat

• Your Threat level is at 100%, placing you in the orange zone, meaning you're the Primary Target.
• The current Primary Target’s nickname displayed to the left is yours (Player 1). 
• The Highest Threat value displayed on the right is also yours, set at 100%.
   

Scenario 2: You Are the Primary Target, but Player 2 Has the Highest Threat

• Your Threat value is at 100% and remains in the orange zone, meaning you’re still Primary Target, with your nickname displayed on the left.
• However, Player 2 now holds the Highest Threat, shown on the right, which has exceeded 120%, the current Threat Threshold, and has entered the red zone.
• If Player 2’s Highest Threat continues to stay above 120%, a Threat Swap may occur, causing you to lose Primary Target status soon.
   

Scenario 3: Threat Swap Occurs, and Player 2 Becomes the New Primary Target

• A Threat Swap has occurred, and Player 2 has taken over as the Primary Target, with their nickname now displayed on the left.
• The Highest Threat value has adjusted to 100% to reflect the Threat Swap and now belongs to Player 2.
• Your Threat level, displayed in the middle, has also scaled down accordingly to 86%, placing you in the green zone.
• To reclaim Primary Target status, your Threat level must exceed 120% and enter the red zone, triggering another Threat Swap.

Thanks to Threat Indicators, you'll always be able to see who holds the Primary Target status as well as your own Threat level. This visibility will greatly assist in fulfilling the roles of Tank, Healer, or DPS during boss fights.

We hope this Quality of Life change will greatly increase the comfort of your hunting as we plan more QoL improvements!

Land Settlement Scroll

Get ready to claim your land like right away after claiming it! Introducing the Land Settlement Scroll, this new item lets Landowners teleport directly to their land and place their house with ease. Here's what you need to know:

• The Scroll is delivered straight to the Quest Inventory after reaching Legacy Level 10.
• The Scroll is Soulbound and Single Use. Once used, it's consumed.
• The Scroll teleports the player right to the center of their Land. 
• Before teleporting, the player is prompted with a confirmation window to prevent accidental uses.

Land Multiplier Selector

Big changes are here for Landowners! Say goodbye to the early-game struggle of high costs on advanced products. The Land Multiplier Selector is really a game-changer, giving owners of Medium and larger Lands the power to customize their Land Multiplier to match smaller Land sizes. Now, you can fine-tune the balance between production and cost!

Adjust your Multiplier to suit your strategy — whether you're focusing on maximizing output or optimizing costs, higher-tier production becomes more accessible with this feature.

The Land Multiplier selector can be found in the House Editor Mode, upper left corner of the screen.
 

New Islands

Housing is incredibly important to RavenQuest and with the growth in interest, we are exploring new options for additional Housing Plots, and while our work on this front is by no means done as we approach the release of RavenQuest, for now we’re delivering a small peek at the future.

• Additional land and Housing Plots have been added to existing regions such as Glaceforde and Harbor Island.

With the new update, previously uninhabited islands have been discovered, and are ready to receive settlers! 

• Added an island between Harbor Island and Glaceforde.
• Added an island between Sajecho Island, Rohna Woods and Glaceforde.
• Added an island between Hadarak Desert and Gilead Island.

Although seemingly ripe for the taking at first glance, only the future will tell what dangers lay hidden beneath the surface…
 

Changing House Placement

You asked, and we delivered! From the beginning, one long-standing frustration has been the inability to relocate your house once it's placed on your land. In our ongoing commitment to improving the quality of life for our players, we are introducing a new feature that allows you to reposition your house on your land with ease!

We understand how important your personal space in RavenQuest is — after all, your home is where you rest, craft, and display the treasures from your adventures. Now, with just a few clicks, you can find the perfect spot for your house, making your dream estate truly yours:

• A new button has been added to House Editor Mode: Edit House Placement. Click it to enter relocation mode.
• Once activated, you'll be able to freely move your house to any valid position on your land without needing to remove existing buildings, fences, or decorations. However, the new location must be free of obstructions such as crops, trees, or animals.
• If anything is occupying the space where the house would be placed, relocation won’t be possible until the area is cleared.

Your home is more than just a building — it’s an extension of your journey, and now, it’s more flexible than ever!

 
We're making important changes to how Crafting and Infusion Experience on items function in the game. These adjustments are aimed at introducing a minimum liquid value to items with undesirable stats and encouraging players to craft higher-tier items. Changes to material obtainment frequency will be coming in the near future.

We've rebalanced the Infusion experience curve to reduce the effectiveness of strategies focused on pig/sheep farming to mass-produce low-tier armor for Infusion materials. While we understand the origin of this strategy, the upcoming increase in infusion availability and the significant XP buff from Tier 3 and above should offset this nerf. Additionally, the recent influx of Tier 3 materials into the market will further support this shift.

We believe these changes will positively impact the economy, creating value for poorly rolled items while also sparing your mouse from excessive wear and tear.

Find below all the adjustments that were applied to Infusion Experience value provided by Equipment:

Overhauled how distances are calculated between different Tradeposts to better reflect the roads and sea lanes that would be utilized when transporting goods. This is intended to better take into account impassable terrain and connecting points between different regions, while also respecting coastlines on the sea.

For absolute clarity and to encourage the movement of goods, below you can find the rules associated with unlocking Tradeposts and Tradepacks for the server and individually. 
 

Tradeposts

All Tradeposts are unlocked from the start, except 4 (Gilead Tradepost, Glaceforde Tradepost, Dras Ashar Tradepost and Kari'vir Tradepost). These 4 Tradeposts are only unlocked when 10% of the server population reach their respective levels:

• Gilead Tradepost ー Level 45
• Glaceforde Tradepost ー Level 50
• Dras Ashar Tradepost ー Level 60
• Kari'vir Tradepost ー Level 65

However, to ensure that new accounts do not slow progress, only players who have reached Legacy Level 30 are counted in this.

Tradepacks

These work very similarly to Tradeposts, with the exception that they are unlocked in multiple stages.Tradepack recipes that are unlocked up to level 35 are unlocked once 15% of the server population reach each recipe's respective level requirement.

Only players who are Legacy Level 20 or higher are counted towards this population pool. These are as follows:

• Campfire Roast ーLevel 25
• Basic Rations ー Level 25
• Kindling Kit ー Level 25
• Bakers Basics ー Level 25
• Glaceforde Explorers Kit ー Level 25
• Ravencrest Finest Wears ー Level 25
• Kabbar's Omelets ー Level 25
• Brined Shank ー Level 25
• Dairy Delivery ー Level 25
• Pickled Vegetables ー Level 35
• Butcher's Box ー Level 35
• Barbecue Specialty ー Level 35
• Sajecho's Spices ー Level 35
• Strawberry Cakes ー Level 35

The recipes after this point require 10% of the population to reach each recipe's respective level and the minimum level required before a player is counted towards this pool is raised to Legacy Level 30. These are as follows:

• Sailor's Remedy ー Level 45
• Seabreeze Rum ー Level 45
• Sombreshade's Pie ー Level 45
• Sajecho Fruit Basket ー Level 45
• Juicers Box ー Level 45
• Fruit Basket ー Level 45
• Winemakers Kit ー Level 50
• Fried Chicken ー Level 50
• Aged Meat ー Level 50
• Margrove Ale Ingredients ー Level 50
• Rohna Smoked Ham ー Level 50
• Noble Delicacies ー Level 50
• General Spices ー Level 50
• Crisp Produce ー Level 55
• Vegetable Stew ー Level 55
• Ravencrest Greens ー Level 55
• Exotic Fruits ー Level 55
• Berry Basket ー Level 55
• Pie Making Kit ー Level 55

Alongside the rework of trade routes to better reflect shipping lanes and overland trade routes, Tradepack recipes have received a significant overhaul. 

With all packs receiving changes to the quantity of materials required, their silver values increased and certain packs having materials added or swapped out as well as the level unlocks amended.

Many of the material quantities have been increased, however with the changes in distance calculations and buff to the silver profit, we expect to see the mercantile minded be fairly rewarded.

As the world of RavenQuest continues to evolve, we've identified key areas to enhance the experience for both newcomers and seasoned veterans. 

The changes below details two such additions, starting with a passive movement speed bonus that every player receives while they are out of combat and on foot, providing smoother traveling between short distance objectives.

The second addition is the introduction of new Waypoints throughout many of the early and mid game areas, greatly improving mobility and flexibility when traversing the world to reach long distance objectives.

Gotta go fast!

New Horizon Bound Condition

Introduced a new passive condition for all players who have completed the tutorial aimed at improving the general experience of leveling and short distance movement in areas with many nearby objectives:

Horizon Bound — Out of combat movement speed is increased by 20%. Upon entering combat or an instanced area, this effect is lost until combat is over or the instanced area is exited.

The effect will not overlap with the movement speed bonus received inside Aether Rifts and will not be active inside other instanced areas like Guild Wars, Aether Echoes or certain quest areas.

All our adventurers are bound to answer Horizon's Call!

New Waypoints

In an effort to improve the ability for players to move around the world of RavenQuest, we are introducing additional fast travel Waypoints.

Please note that Waypoints serve as fast travel hubs and Respawn Shrines remain unchanged for now.

• South Glademire - Glademire Fort
  Level Requirement: 15
   
• Sajecho - Eelsnout
  Level Requirement: 25
   
• Zephyr Vale - Bastion
  Level Requirement: 30
   
• Hadarak Desert - Dras Marna
  Level Requirement: 35
   
• Gildead - Hogula
  Level Requirement: 40
   
• Gildead - Rumalos
  Level Requirement: 50

With these new additions, we expect that travel will be made easier for both newcomers and veterans who frequently visit the listed locations!

 
The Aether Rifts are undergoing a substantial overhaul, with changes impacting every aspect of the system — from entry mechanics and environmental effects to creature difficulty and reward structures.

The changes that follow are intended to foster a more competitive environment that centralizes players, provides a more even playing field and allows more intense PvP matches to occur!

Equalized RavenCards

RavenCards owned by players participating in Aether Rifts will now be automatically adjusted to Rare rarity, either upgraded or downgraded, to ensure a balanced and fair experience for all participants.

New Timed Windows

Added 3 timed windows for Aether Rifts scheduled at different times. Each time slot is designed to allow players from different regions to participate in at least one window. These are as follows:

• First:
  • 03:00 - 05:00 PST — 1v1 Open
  • 05:00 - 07:00 PST — 2v2 Open
  • 07:00 - 09:00 PST — Rift is Closed
     
• Second:
  • 09:00 - 11:00 PST — 1v1 Open
  • 11:00 - 13:00 PST — 2v2 Open
  • 13:00 - 16:00 PST— Rift is Closed
     
• Third:
  • 16:00 - 18:00 PST — 1v1 Open
  • 18:00 - 20:00 PST — 2v2 Open
  • 20:00 - 03:00 PST — Rift is Closed

General Rift Changes

• The 3-day consumption limit has been removed. Players can now accumulate up to 30 Aether Rift Charges in total.
• Changed the minimum required Level to enter Aether Rifts from 30 to 50.
• Reduced total length of Aether Rifts from 20 to 10 minutes.
• Added a new effect inside Aether Rifts:
  Revanchism — Each loss inside Aether Rifts increases the Experience received from creatures inside the Rift by 10%. This bonus stacks up to 3 times, to a 30% bonus to experience gain.
  With this we seek to provide those who are down on their luck to continue and keep trying to win, even after running into several losses in a row.
• Now, if a teammate is defeated but the remaining player wins (Duo), the remaining player can continue in Solo Rifts if eligible to delve deeper.
• Effort will no longer be generated from Aether Rifts.

New Reward Structure

We have also changed the reward structure from Rifts. All Rift treasure items dropped by creatures and players as well as the standard rewards from the chest that is left behind after the Aether Corruption is defeated are now stored inside an Unstable Chest. 

This item is received upon interacting with the chest that is left after Aether Corruption is defeated and cannot be opened until you have safely exited the Rift by winning:

• Added Unstable Chest item as reward from interacting with the Aether Corruption boss chest.
• Changed behavior of rewards inside Aether Rifts to be stored inside the Unstable Chest.
• Unstable Chest cannot be opened until the player is out of Aether Rifts.
• Unstable Chests are dropped and collected by an enemy player if you are defeated while carrying one, even if you won the chest in a previous Aether Rift level.
• Infusions are not affected and can still be received as normal from Aether Rift creatures.

The Unstable Chest seeks to bring a real need to evaluate risk versus reward. Delving deeper now no longer risks the rewards from the level you are competing on, but any previous victories you've obtained.

Aether Rift Boss Changes

Updated the Aether Corruption (Aether Rift Boss) design for both Solo and Duo Rifts to now spawn a stronger version of the boss when no enemy player entered the Rift. This means that the Aether Rift experience should now provide more of a PvE challenge when no possibility for PvP could have occurred.

• Solo Aether Corruption
  • Increased Health
  • Increased the damage of all skills.
  • Increased the debuff value to Spell and Weapon Defense.
  • Increase the duration of Healing Reduction debuff.
     
• Duo Aether Corruption
  • Increased Health
  • Increased the damage of all skills.
  • Increased the debuff value to Spell and Weapon Defense.

Additional Changes

• All players start with 100 Aether upon entering an Aether Rift.
• Opening RavenCards UI is no longer permitted to prevent changing RavenCards while inside a Rift.
• Changing weapons and equipment is no longer allowed while inside a Rift.
• Added a new condition for the Aether Corruption's spawning. If you have defeated the opposing team, the boss will be awakened early and spawn in the central chamber. Additionally, when the boss is spawned in this manner, Aetherial Madness debuff will not activate.
• Adjusted how Aetherial Madness debuff works. If the debuff is active while PvP is ongoing, it will be cleansed immediately from the victorious party to avoid scenarios where players would die to it after winning the PvP encounter.
• Adjusted how the Broken Sanity debuff works. If the debuff is active while 2 teams are engaged in PvP and the Boss has not been defeated nor the chest spawned, then Broken Sanity will be cleansed from whichever team emerges victorious, and a further 2:30 minutes timer would be added to defeat the boss or claim the chest.
• Added a new spawn and death animation to the Aether Corruption boss.
• Aether Corruption now correctly targets anyone inside the boss room.

Note: Aether Rifts will be available from December 10th onward.

The Aether Echoes System has been revamped, featuring a series of changes with the aim of streamlining and improving the experience it offers. The old method of just having the party leader use one of 10 Aether Echo Scrolls to begin the battle has been swapped out for a simpler system with 4 scrolls that correspond to different difficulty levels and are now required to be in possession by all party members.

The bosses themselves have also received a rebalancement to address issues like the fact that Madness Echoes were not fully living up to their name and intended challenge level. More details on this can be found below.

As we go through the details of this update, keep in mind that this is merely the first stage of the changes to Aether Echoes. Our initial focus was on correcting existing concerns and improving the overall effect of the system on progression. Further changes to the rewards that Aether Echoes promise are on the horizon!
 
New Aether Echo Scrolls

Previously there were individual scrolls for each specific Aether Echo Boss, making it a total of 10 different scrolls. These have been removed and reduced to only 4 scrolls of different rarity and difficulty, with each one of these granting access to all Aether Echo Bosses:

• Humming Aether Echo Scroll — Summons a random Aether Echo Boss of Easy difficulty.
• Resonating Aether Echo Scroll — Summons a random Aether Echo Boss of Medium difficulty.
• Brimming Aether Echo Scroll — Summons a random Aether Echo Boss of Hard difficulty.
• Overwhelming Aether Echo Scroll — Summons a random Aether Echo Boss of Madness difficulty.

Scrolls Obtainment

The methods of obtaining Aether Echo Scrolls were changed to provide a different source:

• Aether Echo Scrolls can no longer be obtained as part of the rewards from completing Aether Echoes.
• Aether Echo Scrolls can now be obtained as part of the rewards from Aether Stones, starting from Level 40.
• 1 random Aether Echo Scroll can be obtained after completing 3 Adventurer’s Board Tasks. Players with Patron will receive an extra random Scroll, for a total of 2 Aether Echo Scrolls obtained through this method.
• Old Aether Echo Scrolls were removed from Supplybag rewards and replaced by the new Scrolls.

Rewards

The rewards obtained from completing Aether Echoes have been tweaked and adjusted to better match the intended impact of Aether Echoes on the overall progression:

• Dawn Essence is no longer a reward from completing Aether Echoes.
• Silver rewards were reduced between 60% to 80% across all difficulties.
• Infusion rewards were reduced between 40% to 70% across all difficulties.
• Experience rewards were reduced between 66% to 84% across all difficulties.
• Augmenting Stones rewards were reduced between 33% to 50% across all difficulties.

Boss Rebalancement 

All bosses have been balanced considering their level of difficulty and the strength of players within those level ranges. To establish a consistent standard, we based our calculations on the level required to equip each set gear and then set each boss's level accordingly. 

Players above the boss's level will be synced down to match the boss's level, while those below will remain at their current level. The levels for each boss are as follows:

• Easy — Boss Level fixed at 40
• Medium — Boss Level fixed at 55
• Hard — Boss Level fixed at 70
• Madness — Boss Level fixed at 75

As part of this, most skills have been adjusted to align with the new proposal. Some were merely buffed or nerfed, while others were reworked mechanically. It’s also worth noting that each boss now has a specific weakness.

Phew! That was a lot to digest! How about a nice break, are you up for some slaying? Go get your scrolls and challenge the new and improved Aether Echoes!

Note: Aether Echoes will be available from December 10th onward.

Guild Wars now use the points scored to determine the reward for the losing Guild.

In order to receive 100 Warforging Shards for the participating team and 50 for all other members, the team must score at least 1,000 points during the Guild Wars battle to receive the maximum value of this reward.
If a Guild scores less, they will receive proportionally less Warforging Shards for the team and non-participating members:

• The value of killing enemy players inside Guild Wars changed from 1 to 5 Points.
• The value of capturing the flag inside Guild Wars changed from 50 to 100 Points.
• The minimum required bid changed from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 Silver.
• If a team does not show up to participate in Guild Wars, they receive no rewards.
• Applied adjustments to Guild Wars UI tooltips to reflect the changes listed above.

With the above changes in place we expect to see everyone giving their best while battling inside of Guild Wars. Development of the system is not over and we are continuing to work on further changes to build upon and improve the experience of players.

Note: Guild Wars will be disabled on the first Saturday after launch (December 7th).

With the new update, we have decided to introduce some changes to the rewards offered from the Adventurer's Board. Just as the creature hunters have Adventuring Spirit to urge and reward them for making RavenQuest a safer place, we are introducing the Diligent and Harmonious Spirit buffs to be its equivalent to all the crafters and gatherers in the community who make up the backbone of the economy and make hunting the most dangerous of monsters possible. 
 
Adventurer’s Board Crafting Task

Reduced the Experience requirements to complete Adventurer's Board crafting task by 50%.
 
Adventuring Spirit Changes

• Added 1 Aether Echo Scroll as a reward for non-Patrons after completing all 3 Adventurer's Board tasks. Patrons are entitled to this as well.
• Changed Dawn Essence reward to be capped at 100 per task.
• Adjusted Experience and infusion reward valued.
• Changed the Adventuring Spirit booster Experience bonus to 25% instead of 100%.
• Updated UI tooltip information.
   

New Diligent and Harmonious Spirit Boosters

• Added Diligent Spirit booster, granting a 30% bonus to Experience gain to Blacksmithing, Weaving, Carpentry, Alchemy and Cooking. 
  The total amount of Experience affected by the bonus depends on the sum of your levels in the associated professions. Each level grants 300 Experience towards this value, meaning that someone with level 20 in all 5 professions will receive a larger bonus than someone with 75 in a single profession and 1 in all others.
• Added Harmonious Spirit booster, granting a 20% bonus to Experience gain to Farming, Husbandry, Woodcutting, Herbalism, Mining, Fishing and Breeding. 
  The total amount works the same way as Diligent Spirit, except that each level in the associated professions grants 200 Experience.
• Experience from Diligent and Harmonious Spirits only affects Profession Experience and does not impact Legacy Experience.
• Unused bonus Experience from all boosters is lost each day during the server reset.
• All three boosters are rewarded once per day from a single task. Meaning that if all three tasks are completed, all three boosters can be activated.
   

Changes to Crafting and Reputation Passives

To ensure consistency we will also remove Legacy Experience bonuses from Crafting and Legacy Passives. 
The following professions and reputation passive Experience bonuses now only impact Profession Experience and not Legacy Level Experience.
 

Crafting Passives:

• Mining
• Herbalism
• Woodcutting
• Farming
• Husbandry
• Fishing
• Blacksmithing
• Carpentry
• Weaving
• Cooking
• Breeding
• Alchemy
   

Reputation Passives:

• Crafting Proficiency I
• Crafting Proficiency II
• Gathering Proficiency I
• Gathering Proficiency II

Whether it’s tossing your javelin from the Javelin Quiver more frequently or really feeling the movement speed boost from Stepping Fuel, we hope everyone will find something of value in the changes below.

As we continuously look at existing systems and update them, certain aspects need to be entirely overhauled. During our investigation of the Gathering Professions, Husbandry in particular, we uncovered issues that were not readily apparent. Upon further investigation, the downstream effects of this were severely impacting the economy of the game in a negative manner. 

In an effort to address this, we introduced significant changes to certain aspects of different professions. Every individual change would encompass this entire changelog so we stuck to the broad strokes as many of the changes are internal and not actively visible in-game.

Furthermore, we are required to adjust the rate of progression to be more in-line with the expected rate. Due to this, Crafting and Gathering professions received a net 50% reduction in Experience gain in order to improve the rate of progression.
 

Woodcutting

• Reduced the minimum and maximum yields from all trees eligible for Woodcutting.
• Adjusted the Experience gained from chopping trees.
   

Herbalism

• Increased the costs of planting Herbalism plants.
• Adjusted the Experience gained from harvesting plants.
• Reduced the minimum and maximum yields from all plants eligible for Herbalism.
   

Farming

• Changed all Experience yields from Farming produce except Potatoes.
   

Husbandry

• Changed how interactions work for Husbandry. Players now will pick if they want to butcher or gather the animal when the maturing time is over.
• Butchering the animal is no longer allowed as soon as the maturing process is finished, instead the player must wait for a new timer to expire. This timer is equal to the maturing time for the animal.
• Gathering from the animal is now permitted 3 times and the timer between gatherings is equal to one third of the butchering timer.
• Adjusted Experience values for both butchering and gathering.
• Changed the timers for butchering, gathering and maturing.
• Increased the minimum and maximum yield of Cheese.
• Added confirmation window for selecting to butcher or gather.
   

Cooking

• Adjusted Experience from every recipe.
• Changed material values for every recipe to better reflect the changes made to gathering professions.
   

Carpentry

• Adjusted the recipes for planks, except Dense, Heavy and Glimmery Plank recipes.
   

Weaving

• Changed all basic recipe values for basic materials, these include all leather, thread and cloth materials (not equipment).
   

Alchemy

• Changed most of the recipe requirements across Alchemy to reflect the adjustments made in Herbalism.

Additionally to the other profession related balance changes, we're also simplifying passive bonuses from certain professions that grant a chance to receive double materials. They will now behave in the same way as Plentiful Harvest does for Housing. The following professions were affected:

• Mining
• Herbalism
• Woodcutting
• Farming
• Husbandry
   

We've also corrected an issue where bonuses from housing and passives can trigger independently leading to inflationary outcomes. The unified effect from different sources will instead increase the chance to trigger in the first place.

Ocean content is not being neglected, even if it is not the focal point of this update. As we continue to work on additional content for the maritime space, we’re bringing forward some buffs to Fishing!

With the changes below, we are looking to reduce the pressure coming from dangerous sea creatures while Fishing as well as offer greater rewards on the Plunder Channel for caught fish, and for slicing Legendary Fish.

• Added a new default skill, Pacific Fisher, for all types of fishing ships:
  Pacific Fisher ー Creatures won't attack you after a fish is hooked unless they were already attacking beforehand.
  This addition is expected to greatly enhance the comfort of fishing.
• Significantly increased material yield from slicing Legendary Fishes by five times compared to regular fishes.
• Increased the value of fish caught and sold on Plunder Channel in both silver and materials by 25%.

 
With the release of Phase 3, we finally have been able to bring substantial changes and additions to address many of the concerns and issues that have been flagged by our dedicated miners!

From increasing the general Experience rewarded from Mining and expanding mines to introducing mechanics that alleviate pressure on lower level miners, while adequately rewarding those who have invested a lot of time into reaching higher levels, we expect that the following changes below will greatly improve the overall experience of miners, both new and old!
 

Mining Profession Overhaul

• Overhauled the revealed ore mechanic (after the first layer of stone) — it will no longer be based on the Mining Level, but on the surrounding creatures level instead. This will reduce the pressure on lower level miners in having to compete with higher levels and increase the potential for receiving end game ores from level appropriate locations.
  This means that if you're looking for Titanium, you better head into higher level mines to get your haul!
• Introduced Plentiful Nodes — These nodes appear randomly, but are seen more often in higher mines with higher level creatures. Plentiful Nodes appear in three Tiers, providing 50%, 100% and 300% as much as times the normal Experience and resources from Mining respectively.
• Changed ore obtainment — The maximum number of ores received from successfully mining nodes increases as you level your Mining profession.
  The more experienced the miner, the more they can get out of their work!
• Changed how ores appear and reset — Whenever the stone layer is cleared and the revealed ore is not depleted, the node will reset to its starting condition after a set amount of time.
  The new dynamic should result in players encountering more usable mining nodes!
• Removed instant respawn from mining nodes — This means that after mining the stone and ore layers the node will no longer have a chance to instantly refresh.
• Slightly changed the position of some of the creatures around the world, and added some creatures in order to protect the mining nodes around RavenQuest. 
  Creatures want to protect their spoils too... 

 
Increased EXP from Mining Profession

• Stone Layer — From 120 to 250.
• Copper Node — From 240 to 425.
• Iron Node — From 320 to 650.
• Cobalt Node — From 450 to 900.
• Titanium Node — From 750 to 1,250.

 
Added New Mining Nodes for the Following Regions

• Glaceforde — Iceforge Dwarf (level 80) cave.
• Glaceforde — Frostbound Drake (level 75) cave.
• The Blotch — Sporewalker (level 75) cave.
• Elder Coast — Poisonpetal (level 65) cave.
• Crowhollow Bog — Crowmaidens (level 59) cave.
• Fields of Despair — Skorn (level 53) cave.
• Pirate Isles — Hidden Isle (level 41).
• Rohna Woods — Dwarves (level 36) cave.
• Harbor Isle — Pearlshell Tortoise (level 30) cave.
• Glademire — Brown Bear (level 19) caves.

The change aims to improve the rotation and accessibility for miners in the following regions.

A recent wave of earthquakes throughout RavenQuest have revealed new mining nodes. 

Despite being essential in making progress for many players, Blacksmithing has unfortunately been underwhelming in many aspects compared to other Crafting Professions. With the Mining Overhaul it is only fitting that we show some love to those who shape metal into masterpieces. 

In this Update, general Experience gained has been increased across the board, while many recipes have had their material requirements adjusted to better reflect their value and availability of resources in-game.
