From January 10th to January 17th, 1am PDT, you will have a chance to purchase Stimulants at the markets with a significant discount. Don't miss the opportunity to stock up on Stimulants that not only will increase your character's efficiency but will make the game even more comfortable.

The stimulants will be sold at a discount! These items will allow you to speed up the completion of the Council of Gods directives by skipping the adventures you are not interested in. These items will be of use both to the players who log in only occasionally, accumulating several directives and completing them in 1-2 days and to the users that want to skip certain activities. The stimulants allow you to save your in-game time and focus on the quests you want to complete yourself.

You can buy Stimulants for Argents in the in-game market. If you don’t have enough Argents, visit our Argent top-up page.

See you on Aelion!

Has everyone already sharpened their swords and cleaned their pistols? The reapers are coming back. There are new adventures on the map and the strength of monsters in certain groups has increased. The invasion is led by the Sukur Tribe - generals of the first Reapers of Death distortion.

The first week of the invasion marks the emergence of new, 12th generation equipment. Over the next two months, your main mission will be to obtain actual equipment. There already are rare and epic rings, amulets and brooches. The new items will become available on the third and fifth week of the invasion.

Thanatos's Avatar arrives on January 31st. You can fight his training incarnation (for groups of 5) or champion incarnation (for groups of 10).
Characters with no divine specializations, explored for avatar trophies (all, except God of Travels), can receive up to 6 such trophies by killing Thanatos - up to 4 from the training incarnation and another 2 from the champion incarnation.

Stand together Immortals!

It's the first patch of the new year, and this rings a new beginning for us as well! We talked in our producer letter about the many changes that we have planned for 2018 so let's begin by fixing things and improving on others.

We are bringing back the"Strength in Unity" stat! This stat increases the damage of the group, depending on how many members use a different class. Unlike before, this stat now applies to every member of the group and not only attacker classes.

UI Bugs? UI BUGS! We smashed them. For example, the voting window now disappears once a vote has passed. Also, players in adventures should see the correct cost of a divine form.

Some economy changes were applied in this patch too. Since the special rates are now over, we revised some of the rewards. From now on, you will always receive a large amount of "Credits" and "Knowledge of Enemies" for completing adventures.

Generation 12 aspect jewelry has been added. You know the drill: Defeat the avatars of the new invasions and you can get your hands one of the new shinies! The good news: modifiers for this equipment are now equal to the modifiers for mythical equipment with maximum integrity. Equipment containers now contain equipment of the actual season.

But what about new loot? Don't worry we got you covered - Defeat the generals of four distortions and the champion version of Thanatos to receive the "Reapers of Death Terror Armor". Take a peek below:

Important

• Factory 501 has been captured by Reapers of Death.
• Returning to the game with some adjustments is Strength in Unity - a stat increasing damage in accordance with the number of members of different classes there are in a group, the more members the bigger the increase. This stat now applies to all group participants, not just the attack classes. Strength in Unity can increase damage by up to 40%. The current damage bonus can be seen in the stats window when you are in a group.
• The rank 4 premium bonus now increases Strength in Unity for all members rather than an individual multiplier for damage and health.
• Fixed the issue in which the Unity of Aspects ring could increase critical damage by more than the specified amount.
• Now each equipment container will take up a separate bag slot.
• The quality of an item will now be upgraded not with Knowledge of Enemies but with Credits.
• Marks are sold for 400 credits instead of 600.
• The daily reward for opening the Cathedral is reduced by 35 000-50 000 Credits (depending on the Cathedral's level).
• Equipment containers now contain equipment of the actual season.
• The quantity of Marks of the King received from distortions is no longer reduced because of a high rank of the character.
• Added a reward for defeating the leaders of the Reapers of Death! Defeat the generals of four distortions and the champion version of Thanatos to receive the Reapers of Death Terror Armor. Victories in this season will be taken into account.

• You can only add combat consumables to the Quick Access Panel.
• Fixed the issue where the last ability learned at the class temple would not have a description.
• The vote window no longer gets stuck after the vote is complete.
• Fixed the issue where players in adventure could see a wrong cost of divine form.
• Verdict is no longer duplicated on the panel after a change of class.

• Text in the Group Synchronization window no longer goes outside the interface boundary.

• Flavius's Laboratory now opens at the Reapers of Death section by default.

• Pressing "Open the campaign" will open the page of the province you viewed last.
• When replacing stats using an invalid modifier or equipment piece, you will now see the appropriate error message.
• Fixed the invalid notification of Premium subscription extension.
• When using Rebirth Flame, you will now see a warning if you decide not to lock any stats.
• Corrected the information window displayed when you assign an ability to an additional mouse button.

Visuals

• Fixed the visual effect of Emblems of Pain. They are now used 50% faster.
• Fixed the issue where the Halo of the Oceanid Vindicator could turn a random color.

Cathedral and Tower of Knowledge

• If the building has reached its maximum development, great rituals and major research become cheaper.

Flavius's Laboratory

• Resolved issue in which the talent study button could disappear.

Bastions

• Fixed the bug where killing Bloodthirsty Shaaz on Dankit Island was not counted.

Squad

Cronnel Platforms

• Fixed the bug where Ignis could kill his own allies with a fire ring.
• Water altars are now only activated out of combat.

Legendary jewelry.

• Generation 12 aspect jewelry has been added. You can obtain it by defeating avatars of invasions. Good news: modifiers for this equipment are now equal to modifiers for mythical equipment with maximum Integrity.

Knowledge of Enemies is a vital resource that allows you to upgrade your Tower of Knowledge, thus giving you the means to increase your character’s base stat: Might. The higher its value, the more efficient your capabilities of handling the challenges that beset you in Aelion. Don’t forget that you can also unlock a new class using Knowledge of Enemies, and that many of the Trophy Hall promotions also increase your character’s Might boost from the Tower of Knowledge at a drastic rate. The higher the stat, the further its boost!

The sale will end in one week – don’t miss it!

Dear Players!

The new update 0.96.5.25 is here!

Indispensable Assistant has been changed. It now enhances healing orbs and emblems. However, it only pulls them towards you without automatically activating them. Given how impactful the changes are, we have withdrawn the module from everybody and reimbursed its cost.

Distortion bosses, such as Carrions, Melegh and Imenad, have also been adjusted in this update. Their abilities and damage were rebalanced.

Thanatos's Avatar

• Fixed the issue that caused Thanatos's hand to become invisible instead dying after all group members' death.

Distortions

Frenzied Carrions (D2)

• Emblems will now appear less often.
• If a boss gets to a neighboring territory and finds no characters around, it grants all bosses a shield decreasing incoming damage.

Melegh (D3)

• After the Rage stage all summoned Virds and Skulls will be destroyed.
• Necrotic Aura that applies the repelling aura will now apply it only on the character pulled to the spirit by Otherworldly Pull.
• Virds now heal the boss less efficiently.
• Duration of the dash of Otherworldly Pull has been slightly increased.
• Time till boss falls into a rage has been increased.
• Now you can pick up boss' scythe and become a god every 5 minutes (you could do it once per battle before).
• Damage dealt by Test of Tenacity now expires on time.

Imenad (D4)

• Damage dealt by most boss' abilities has been decreased.
• Boss in divine phase now doesn't destroy the relic.
• The relic purification cooldown has been decreased.
• The boss remains invulnerable for a while after the divine form is lifted from a character.
• Fixed the issue when a player could receive less quests in Flavius's laboratory if they log in the game for the first time during a season only at the end of an Invasion.

Squad

Cronnel Platforms

• Removed Born Assassin I from the list of optional tasks.

Higher Divinity

• Killing the Avatar and bosses in distortions will now give you Cognition points. Receiving Cognition points has the same limitations as receiving equipment (1 daily attempt for Distortions, 1 attempt per 3 days for Avatars).
• Maximum Cognition gain: 450 to 550 for Avatars, 250/300/350/400 for Distortions, depending on their number.

Companions

• Indispensable Assistant/Magnetism module has been redesigned.
  • Chance of emblem appearance has been increased by 15%. The companion only pulls them towards you without activating them.
  • If character's health is low, the companion pulls a Healing Orb (if there are any available) and enhances it. Can be activated only once in 40 seconds.
  • Emblems and Healing Orbs can be pulled to you only within a 20 yard range of your spawn point.
  • Given how impactful the changes are, we have withdrawn the module from everybody and reimbursed its cost. You can purchase it again in the Hall of Trophies. "Biological Hazard I" card.
• Health points will now restore without delay after resurrection by a companion.

Various Fixes and changes.

• Fixed the issue with the third Brass Knuckles blow on female characters.
• Fixed the issue with character freezing in one position after activating Trewang and in some other cases.

Mr. Goro's Circus was a unique phenomenon for Aelion and so was Mr. Goro.

There were rumours that there were legendary mountain giants far back in his family line. Goro never said anything about this: first, because he was a man of few words in principle. Second, because he was actually over two meters tall, and third because he was in the business of mystery and mystification so the rumours were in his favor.

There was a time when people avoided Goro because of his strange appearance, but he decided he would surround himself with others like himself and he eventually found his place in society. Out of gratitude, his small group began to call themselves Mr. Goro's Circus. The circus toured around Aelion and kept performing even during this world's most difficult days. They performed songs and dances, which all of Aelion enjoyed. There were acrobatic numbers, tricks and fortune telling, but the public was always especially interested in the cart of exhibits. It had the most diverse selection of goods: from a Dryad’s head to Ianna’s garters. One could only guess where Goro got his exhibits from, but the Council of Gods always had more important problems to worry about so nobody bothered him about it. However, recently the circus tour route has suspiciously coincided with a spate of mysterious deaths and Ianna cannot ignore this.

Friends!

The most powerful communities and the mightiest gods will clash in battles for Aelion's future once again! Gather your fighters and start training. The first battles will take place on February 4. Now comes the fascinating part.

WAR OF GODS

The Central Part of the Temple will open for fights during this season! Only the final battle could take place here before. Its outcome determined the future owner of the territory. Everything will change in the upcoming season. No more restrictions: Divine Fatigue, Team Rotation or consumables! Nothing will stand in the way of heroes willing to fight in the largest location of the Temple Complex in their divine form or even in the aspect form!

All Cognition invested in higher divinity development will be reset.
Players will be able to choose an aspect to learn first.

SCHEDULE AND OPPORTUNITIES

A schedule of battles for this season of Pantheon Wars will be published as soon as the new map appears. All participants will learn which battles they will have to fight, so they can prepare themselves.

Serious battles await you! You can take a better look at the arenas using the interactive panorama.

REWARDS AND PANTHEON RANKS

At the end of the fourth season, the winners of the Wars will be able to activate three additional Hyperion modules or upgrade the existing modules. Top 10 communities will be awarded the Pantheon Banner ability which provides the Banner carrier and all allies with useful bonuses for PvP and PvE. For example, monsters killed near the character will drop more loot, and the Banner carrier can redirect damage aimed at allies to themselves, taking a reduced amount.

Pantheon Vindicators will get Argents and Cognition for participation in all battles if their character is an elder god. Construction resources will be replaced with Pantheon Trophies, a new currency required for further development of Pantheons (after Rank 20). In addition to standard health and damage bonuses, new Pantheon ranks will further amplify the effect of the Banner. New ranks may also grant an ability that can activate temporary global bonuses. For example, increase the number of Marks of the King that a Pantheon member can get from various sources.

The listed effects may change by the end of the season. A more detailed description of the Banner, ranks, and bonuses will be published later.

We will see you on the battlefield!

Listen up Immortals!

The Achievements System will soon be making its debut in Skyforge. Performing certain tasks, objectives or funny gestures will earn you points which can be displayed to show off your success!

During one of the upcoming updates, Immortals will find a new "Achievements" tab in the game. Here you will find all completed tasks and points earned by your character. The unfinished achievements will give you hints on what to do next and maybe even show you a part of Skyforge you may have missed before.

Disclaimer: Screenshot is from an in-development build and is subject to change.

The first tasks will be quite simple, but with the release of subsequent updates, more difficult achievements and unique challenges will appear in the list. Start your hunt for glory as soon as you can - with future updates we will add special awards for the most active trophy hunters!

But that's not all! We want your ideas for the trophy system!

Greetings Immortals,

This weeks update brings you a combination of tweaks for the Divine Weapons and most importantly, the activation of the Pantheon Wars!

Are you already in a Pantheon yourself? Make sure to join one before the big battle commences. We now have a map rotation designed to keeps things fresh to the big clash of gods.

Pantheon Wars

Battle of the Pantheons:

1. The fourth PvP map "Central Part of the Temple" has been added.

2. A rotation of the maps in the Pantheon War has been introduced - 3 adventures are available every week as before, but they change in order to not increase the number of required players.

1st week of Panteon Wars:

• Bridge to the Temple, Gates to the Temple, Temple Tower

2nd week of Panteon Wars:

• The Bridge to the temple, The Central Part of the Temple, Gates to the Temple

3rd week of Panteon Wars:

• Gates to the Temple, Temple Tower, Central Part of the Temple

4th week of Panteon Wars:

• Bridge to the Temple, Temple Tower, Central Part of the Temple

And so on.

3. Now each adventure gives up to 3 points in the overall standings:

• Bridge to the Temple, the Central Part of the Temple, the Temple Tower is played up to 9000 points, where every 3000 points = 1 point in the overall standings.
• Gates of the Temple are played up to 3 flags, were 1 flag = 1 point in the overall standings.

4. The number of points for delivering golem fragments on the map "Bridge to the Temple" has been increased from 500 to 750.

Central Part of the Temple

1. Capture the point mode.
2. In this map there is an equalizing feature:

If the gap of points between the teams goes above 1800 points, the loser gets 1 stack of a buff, giving a % increase to their damage and defence.

Fixed a bug where the markers of the control points on the "Bridge to the temple" didn’t display properly.

Divine Weapon

Upgrade for Gloves of Thanatos has appeared on the market. The upgrade costs 1 Avatar's Artifact, and grants you the following:

• Touch of Death and Life Drain deal 20% more damage. Leap of Death can now use second level charges, allowing you to fly up and bring down on your enemies a series of deadly blows that deal cumulative damage and granting you invulnerability during the leap.

Combat Mounts

• Fixed the duration display of the Combat Mounts from the Tower of Knowledge.

Elder Gods

Players who have discovered the Elder Gods now have all three aspects available. The development of aspects was reset, and the distributed points are returned - now you can choose which aspect to develop first (or develop all three at the same time, because you choose your own way to your God).

The amount of cognition required at some levels of development has been significantly reduced. Players who, despite the anguish, have overcome this threshold, will receive the development points due to them (the rest of this "threshold" will become much closer).

• Fixed a bug where you got an incorrect amount of Cognition from the "Imenad" and "Melegh" distortions.

Other

• Fixed a bug where the Seal in the Cathedral from “mark of the revenant” does not increase damage.

Immortals!

The latest update did reset your Cognition points. Now when you start learning higher divinity, you can begin with any aspect. Let’s look at the advantages of the Aspect of Mercy which are available once you unlock its gold node.

Every week (at 3:00am PST on Wednesday), gods will receive 10 random Edicts:

	Scroll of Enlightenment. Converts 1000 points of Divine Deeds into 500 points of Cognition.
	Persistence Elixir. Consumed when you assume the aspect form, restoring the spent Faith.
	Rune of Time. Makes enemies and allies invulnerable and unable to perform any actions for 20 seconds. Can be used only in great battles and Pantheon Wars.
	Fluid of Incarnation. Use 7 points to receive random legendary Aspect jewelry. Storage limit: 7. When you reach this limit, you will stop receiving these items from all sources.

The last Edict allows you to receive legendary jewelry:

	Concentration of Aspects. Increases the duration of the aspect form by 45 seconds. You will lose the active aspect form if you unequip this brooch.
	Rivalry of Aspects. Damage to other players is increased by 12% while you are in the aspect form.
	Hunger of Aspects. Grants 10 points of Faith for killing players when you are in the aspect form. The effect has a 12-second cooldown.
	Echo of Aspects. When the aspect form ends, the character gains an effect which increases damage dealt by 12% for 20 seconds.

We are aware that many users are wielders of the Aspect of Rage, but consider changing to the updated Aspect of Mercy!

Good luck!

Immortals!

The third week of the Reaper invasion is starting. We have added new difficulty levels for a whole range of group adventures, including Operation Medea. The second distortion of the enemy army has become available. You can now purchase new item Rebirth Flame 2 in the Market and upgrade your Sapphire and Ruby. And Thanatos's Avatar has finally decided to personally appear on Aelion.

Prepare for a bloody battle! The leader of the invading army has become much stronger. This will be a worthy challenge for veterans.

If you are victorious, you may receive:

• 1–6 trophies if the character has unlocked less than 6 divine specializations for trophies;
• 1 Avatar's Artifact;
• Reapers of Death Victor Wings;
• legendary jewelry.

You will also be able to purchase an improved version of Gloves of Thanatos. Owners of the regular Gloves of Thanatos may get it for 1 Avatar's Artifact.

Beginners can pit their skills against the training version of the avatar. It is adapted for groups of 5 characters. Its purpose is to prepare young gods for the battle against Thanatos. Now if your character has unlocked less than 4 divine specializations, you will get Avatar Trophies for completing the invasion avatar's training challenge for the first 1-4 runs! The challenge may bring you the Reapers of Death Victor Crown.

You also have a chance to receive generation 12 legendary jewelry for victory over any version of the avatar. This chance is higher for the champion version.

Fight fiercely and mercilessly, immortals!
