Whether you’ve been playingfor years or have been looking for a reason to jump in, this free update is very much worth your attention.Paths to the northwest sink into the overgrowth, swallowed by the dangerous and untamed wilds of the Oakveil Woodlands. A land gone untouched for centuries, unbeknownst to the people of Vardoran, it has been harboring a dangerous secret. On its northernmost shores, an invading enemy has landed and begun preparations to serve a dark purpose. Under the commanding glare of their Serpent Queen, Megara, the Venom Blades perform secret rituals to corrupt the land and harvest precious Venom Sap from the corrupted nature. They cannot be allowed to gather their full strength, lest they threaten to consume all of Vardoran, and you with it. Go forth, Vampire, and show them who Vardoran truly belongs to.The Venom Blades come from parts unknown, obsessed with carrying out the will of their Serpent Queen Megara, to whom their loyalty is absolute. At her command, they carve dark ritual symbols in the trees, weeping the magically altered dark venom sap from the living bark and collecting it for their arcane purposes.Units now perform additional types of actions while idle. These actions include units leaning against walls, working in the fields, sitting by campfires, and more.Clouds have been slightly reworked to allow for different kinds of density in different areas. Some boss arenas now have denser dynamic clouds, making it easier to fight these enemies during daytime. This includes the following V Bloods.There are two ways to play contests: either you craft and place a Dueling Banner for one vs one combat, or you can build an Arena in your castle using the new Arena feature for team combat.A new item that, when placed, allows other players to accept a duel with the owner of the banner. Both duelists will be restored to their initial health when the duel is over.A place where your horses can feel truly at home in your castle. Not only do they feel at home, but you can feed your horses to allow them to reach peak performance. You can also unlock new Perks for your most special four-legged friends.With the introduction of the Stable, players can now park their horses to automatically feed them with plant fibers at no cost. Adding flowers to the mix allows horses to permanently increase their stats. Once a horse is converted into a Vampire Horse, the Stable can also be used to unlock perks, enhancing its overall utility.Horses may now be randomized with Max speed between 7.5-9.5 .Vampire horse health has been reduced by 50% .Doctor Henry Blackbrew’s second finest creation! This complicated piece of machinery is used to transfer items from one station directly to another. This wondrous machine allows you to blend two blood types, gaining bonuses from both. Ever wanted to combine the speed of rogue blood and the prowess of warrior blood? Now you can.The Fusion Forge is a new station in your castle, unlocked by defeating Dantos the Forgebringer. It allows you to fuse Reforged or Shattered Ancestral Weapons, allowing you to extract the best attributes of both weapons into a single one. The same process can be done with Jewels, fusing two jewels of the same type into one, allowing you to extract and combine the effects you want. With the Treasury flooring, you can now build your own Treasury. Any container placed within the Treasury becomes part of the territory inventory. This allows crafting stations, castle building, and player inventory crafting to automatically pull materials from the territory inventory without the need to manually retrieve resources from containers.When discovering technology in the Research Desk, Study, and Athenaeum, you may now select from which category you want to research instead of randomizing from all categories. Added an ‘Invisible Foundation’ that is only placeable on ground level that allows players to keep the natural environment in their castle territory. Invisible Foundations may be placed on top of destructible objects such as trees and rocks, but will prevent resources from regrowing on these tiles.You may now move entire planters and growing plots that have plants or trees connected to them without having to dismantle the plants/trees first.The following new decorative and structural items have been added:A set of wall-mounted weapon decorations and a set of wallpapers for the new Arena feature.Miscellaneous decorations fitting for your Workshop and your Smithy.Tables now have a selection of table settings, including dinner sets, candles, flowers, and glassware that can be attached to them for further customization.New Lavender plants for the Vase category., allowing players to charm any unit with a blood type. This expands imprisonment options and provides easier access to various blood types. However, converting dominated units into servants is still primarily restricted to humans. The Castle Throne is now accessible in the early game as it no longer requires reinforced planks to be built. Servants now start with 100 Hunting Proficiency, and early hunts in Farbane require less Hunting Proficiency to successfully complete.Hunt durations and success rates have been tweaked to make it somewhat easier to make servant hunts worthwhile and accessible in the early game.Updated some vampire voice lines to match the Dominate changes.Added a separate server settings to modify stygian shard drops in Mortium. This modifier increases the total amount of shards dropped from enemies, breakables, chests, and incursion crystals.When hosting a private game, the server host now has the possibility to pause the game from the in-game menu.Pillars can now be destroyed again during a raid; destroying a pillar destroys any connected entrance.A few entrances to some territories are now properly blocking the placement of stairs in front of them.

Mist Brazier, Mirrors, Target Dummy and Music Box have been moved here.

Remaining Soul Shard duration is now displayed when hovering a Soul Shard instead.A new consumable has been added that allows you to imbue a weapon with one of six elemental effects. The effect will trigger on primary hits and has a 15-second cooldown as well as a 5-second global cooldown. Players may imbue multiple weapons with different effects, but the global cooldown will limit the effectiveness of weapon swapping up to 3 different weapons. Your next primary attack inflicts Leech and Vampiric Curse, dealing 40% magic damage after 2s and spawning a Blood Orb. Your next primary attack deals 40% bonus magic damage, inflicts Condemn and conjures a bone spirit that circles around the target dealing 50% damage and inflicting Condemn to any enemy it hits.

This will allow players to send servants on hunts earlier.Local Castle teleporters are now unlocked separately from Ziva, Domina, Voltatia and Stavros200 Scrolls + 1 Primal Blood Essence to summon a Lesser Blood SoulBlood Key no longer requires Greater Stygian shards to craft but requires 200 Blood Crystals instead.Cost for crafting glass bottles reduced to 4x Glass from 8x Glass Carpet Rolls now has a 1x additional Gem Dust cost Clives’ center position for determining when the player has left his combat area is now set to a fixed position in the sulfur quarry and he is now allowed to always be fought throughout the entire lower section.

Once the player reaches 100+ charges they will gain a buff that will trigger a cooldown reset on their next spell cast. Bonus Physical Power and Spell Power are now percentage increases on your base Power instead of static values.Cooldown rate now speeds up the rate at which an ability resets.

This change will allow players to more easily max out a weapon or jewel with the addition of the Fusion Forge crafting station while also presenting the actual power of an item in a more digestible manner.All Blood Types have been reworked with the intention of making all Blood Types more combat-oriented and useful. It should be easier to get access to some rare Blood Types, such as Creature Blood, Scholar Blood, and Mutant Blood, as we’ve boosted the chances of coming across higher blood quality units for Blood Types with fewer sources. Almost all units with blood can now be dominated and put into prisons. However, only humans and some draculin units can be transformed into servants.
