Patch Notes - March 6th
These are the patch notes for today's patch currently being applied to the game. I'll remind everyone that there is a wipe in order to install the new Prowess based character progression system. We hope you enjoy the new system and we hope we can get good feedback on this by our players.
I'll remind you that in a few days we'll be adding the Primalist as well, in a new patch.
New Features:- A completely new skill up system, based on Prowess Points, has been added to the game. Players can purchase Attributes and Skill levels using their Prowess Points. Crafting Skills are NOT included in this new system, and keep leveling up by using them. You can read more about it by using the link above.
- Salvaging has been added as a default skill under the crafting skills, allowing you to break up armors and weapons back to their crafting materials. You can find more about Salvaging by using the link above.
- Broken versions of weapons, shields and armor have been added as monster drops. These items cannot be used by a player, but they can be salvaged
- Salvaging an item will reward you with 30% of the amount of prowess you would normally get if you had crafted the same item.
- Fog-of-War has been introduced into the World Map. You will now have to explore Agon in order to discover teleportation chambers, mob spawns and other interest points
- Added new on-screen challenge notification effects (Challenge, Victory, Defeat, City Conquered, City Lost, Vulnerable Bindstone and Vulnerable Siegestone)

- Quick pressing action button (F by default) triggers the default action on the targeted object. Default actions are the use object action for mounts/ships etc, and open the personal bank for bank buildings. If you keep pressing the action button, after 100 milliseconds, it will show the other (potentially) available options on the context menu.
- There is a new Prowess Points reward system for killing monsters within a party. The player who gets the killing blow will gain 50% of the total prowess points for that kill. The remaining 50% will be distributed evenly between the rest of the players in that party which are in within 50 meters from the monster killer.
