Here are the highlights of the recent Nightfall Update Patch to Forsaken World. This is the first content update since Nightfall was released. I'll also include a copy of the patch notes below:
Here are the big additions and what they mean for you:
- Combat Assist - the game now plays itself! A robust Combat Assist interface allows you to AFK and the bot will kill things for you, drink your pots, heal your allies, buff your party, eat your food, etc.
- MA Changes - Apprentice level cap raised to 59! Now you mentors can mentor your apprentices through mentor Welkins, OAC, and AC. Also the dual-clienting/IP restriction on masters and apprentices have been lifted so you can master yourself with no penalty.
- Vice AND Virtue - You can now switch freely between Vice (Nyos) and Virtue (Dyos) trees. Of course, it means doing a long ass quest line and accruing soul power for both trees... Start by pressing "H" and grabbing the "Break the Limit" quest.
- Fashion Wardrobe Bag - it's free and frees up your regular bag space. Switch between 3 outfits on the fly!
- Change your Face and Hair - it's a cash shop item. It's 300 leaves per.
- Soul Leaves - leaves granted to masters from doing Master-Apprentice quests. They're bound and can be used to buy a limited selection from the Cash Shop.
- New Rooms in Gauntlet of Storms - 5 new rooms tacked onto GoS gives you a little something more to do on the instancing front.
- Mentor Points Tradeable for GL Runs - you can now trade Mentor Points and Soul Gold for additional Glistening Lowland entries as well as Gem Reforges.
- Advanced Runes Arrive - you can get them weekly by finishing one of the quest in Immortal Rift. Guild Leaders can also net a few for their guild by praying at the Altar of Sacrifice in their base once a week.
Full Patch Notes:
