The Return of Swadia - Winter - 15-01-2025
Hello fellow Swadians!
We bring you great news from the headquarters of the military high command!
After years of fighting and resisting the mighty force of the Nords, we suffered high casualties and lost many comrades. As we lost more and more ground, entire regions fell to the invading forces. Most of the army lost faith in the defense and sought to secure themselves along with their equipment. With a shrinking army before him and an exhausted population behind, our beloved King had no choice but to flee into exile.
But the time of darkness and a weakened Swadia is over! Many new recruits have been drafted, and numerous old veterans have returned to the ranks of the defending forces! In the newly built field camp in the hills of Calradia, our King has restructured the army. With the assistance of the military high command, a comprehensive retraining of the army has been implemented. Both old veterans and new recruits are required to adhere to the new structure and training. Merged classes will receive Hero Tokens.

We will continue to monitor the game balance and make adjustments as necessary. More changes will come with the next client update.
These comprehensive reforms aim to revitalize Swadia's military prowess and restore our kingdom to its former glory. With renewed strength and determination, we stand ready to reclaim our lands and secure a prosperous future for all Swadians.
Furthermore, our leadership has been proactive! Our chief requisition officers have developed methods of crafting many materials at once! Additionally, collaborating with the realm's most skilled smiths and priests, we've discovered a new method to utilize the recently collected Legendary Essence.
Crafting
- Added "50x Basic Wood/Rough Cloth/Scrap Metal" recipes at level 15
- Added "500x Basic Wood/Rough Cloth/Scrap Metal" recipes at level 30
- Added "20x Steel" to level 12 Blacksmith
- Added "20x Blade Shard/Handle/Flemish String" recipes at level 22 Blacksmith
- Added "20x Basic Leather" to level 12 Armorsmith
- Added "20x Armour Plate/Strap/Silk" recipes at level 22 Armorsmith
- Added "20x Bone Powder" recipe at level 12 Alchemist
- Added "20x Bone Dust/Dye/Oil" recipes at level 22 Alchemist
- Added "50x Chain/Construction Tools/Processed Wood" recipes at level 13 of their respective House Crafting professions
- Modified legendary awakening recipes to take one upgrade kit (Masterwork Toolkit/Blessed Sacrifice/Cursed Offering), one craftable equipment, and a scaling amount of Legendary Essence. Recipes have been split when necessary into separate recipes for each crafted equipment option. The craftable item used is in parentheses in the recipe title.
- Orange legendary items will take 2-4 million gold in crafting materials rather than a full upgrade kit
- Boots will take 2 million gold in crafting materials rather than a full upgrade kit
- Added a way to obtain Legendary Essence through crafting. Have fun
The artificers of our realm will continue to research new ways of obtaining and using Legendary Essence.
Swadians, I look with confidence into the future! Our strategic reforms and enhanced training programs will yield impressive results on the battlefields. Our smiths are diligently refining our equipment's resource management. This optimization will enhance the strength of certain items, while others may be adjusted to ensure overall balance and efficiency.
But don’t be foolish - the Nords will not stand idly by. They may answer by deploying unprecedented forces against our Kingdom. Be ready, recruit new allies to join our army, and encourage veteran comrades to reinforce our ranks once more. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are! For King and Kingdom!
In unity and strength,
The NI Development Team
Please be patient while these changes are rolled out. Although characters and their equipment will be sorted out shortly, the total process including crafting recipes may take several hours.
