Released on February 22nd, 2025. The original release notes are accessible on GitLab.

Foreword

It's been a long time in development! Years even. With the implementation of Leagues, the Rebalance and everything else going on both inside Isleward and outside, releasing this is long overdue. I want to start off by thanking everyone for their patience!

Level Cap

The maximum level is now 23. The cap was set at 20 for a very long time. We do not plan for that to be the case again. When exactly it will increase again we don't know yet, but it won't be multiple years.

Blisterwind Phase 1

This release opens up the first part of Blisterwind where you can start wiping the island clean of its population of Oryx. Collect Scarab Husks to purchase slot-specific gear (randomly rolled...with some added luck) items once Blisterwind Phase 2 is released. The Moonbound Cultists are spreading their corruption and some Oryx have fallen prey to their influences. Destroy them and collect their Moontouched Horns. Once Blisterwind Phase 2 releases, the Sceibians will grant you access to their town if you have enough. Any extras you can then use to trade for goods in their town.

Fragmented Blessing

• Mobs in the Tutorial map can no longer fragment.
• Mobs in Fjolarok had their chance to fragment lowered by 75%.
• Mobs in the Sewer had their chance to fragment lowered by 50%.

Trials of the Abyss

• The level required to enter a Trial is now 23, up from 20.
