Buffed: Archers total damage for +7% Added: Now when you hit Serpent's Crystal you get 50% more damage from other players for 3 sec. Each hit renews timer. Talent System — Bugfixes & Reworks Big pass over the class talent trees. Many talents were dead, mis-wired, or silently doing nothing — all reviewed and fixed.  Warrior Berserk now works — it was accidentally scaling off Swordsman instead of maces. Enrage now works — the buff was completely inactive; timer logic fixed. Iron Skin & Crusher — fixed armor/armor-ignore bugs (were reading the wrong character). Spell Ward — implemented: up to 70% chance (at max rank) to resist stat-draining spells (Curse/Clumsy/Weaken/Feeblemind…). Murder — implemented: bonus damage vs monsters. Grand Protector — implemented: bonus armor vs monsters. Vanquisher — now correctly applies only with maces. Archer Piercing Arrows & Hardened Leather — fixed (armor-ignore/armor bugs). Master Thief — implemented: up to 70% chance (at max rank) to avoid being revealed while hidden. Master Hunter — now also boosts damage vs demons, not just dragons. Aspect of Shadows — fixed: now scales with rank (up to 10% at max) instead of a broken flat roll. Heavy Armed & Holy Arrows — now correctly restricted to bows. Mage Fire / Arcane / Destruction Mastery — now always grant their damage bonus (previously required an equipped Powerbook with charges). Arcane Fortitude — implemented: reduces your chance to be critically hit. Spirit Heal — fixed: it was blocked in all normal combat and never fired. Quality of life: proc-based talents now print Talent worked: <name> when they trigger, so you can see them working. Also in this patch Serpent's Hold Battle: re-entry portal cooldown increased 15s → 25s. Color Tournament: fixed an exploit that let players sneak a held potion/item into the arena. Dark Ghost weapons reworked — stamina drain now scales The Dark Ghost set no longer drains a flat stamina amount — it now hits a percentage of your maximum stamina: Dark Ghost Bow & Dark Ghost Mace — drain 40% of the target's max stamina on proc. Dark Ghost Shield — drains 25% of the attacker's max stamina on proc. This makes the drain consistent against high-stamina targets (mounts, high-DEX builds) instead of being a fixed hit. Proc chance and the anti-NPC "Handle!" effect are unchanged.

Changed: Serpent's Hold battle mechanic - Now when battle starts first creates 4 Basic posts and 1 Grand post (grand post location also changed, now it is same where crystall spawns), after all 5 posts are captured they spawn Serpent's Crystal.

Serpent's Hold Battle — Event Overview Concept: A no-loot PvP event held in the Serpent's Hold zone. Starts everyday at 22:00. How to join: A green portal appears at Street Market → stepping on it teleports you to a random spot inside the Hold (your name, level, and faction are announced to everyone). The zone (PvP / NoLoot): PvP is on, PvM is off. You can't physically die — a lethal hit teleports you to Street Market instead. No recall/gate in or out, no opening the runebook, no "I'm stuck". Objectives: The Crystal (1500 HP, each hit = 1 damage). Whoever deals the most damage receives a Serpent Belt on its destruction (str +50/dex +50/int +100 by class, +5% damage, personal-bound, for 23h). Every 100 damage = +1 Events Point. On destruction, a damage ranking is shown to everyone and all players are sent to the market. 5 capture posts — 4 Basic (60s → **10k WGP** + a random +10 item) near Crystal and 1 Grand (90s → **50k WGP**) on North-West inside House. Each capture is announced to everyone. Ending: when someone destroys the Crystal, or automatically after 30 minutes (if it isn't destroyed). In both cases the crystal, posts, and portal are removed and everyone is sent to Street Market. Sosaria Pass rewards: Crystal Smasher (crystal damage), Serpent Champion (win), Hold the Line (capturing posts), Sun Seeker (entering via the portal).
