Patch v1.2.2 Release Notes

OSTARA SEASON: MASTERY CHALLENGE GAME MODE

We added in-game support for Mastery Challenge.

A Master of an ancient art sends you on a Quest to prove your might through trials that will transcend the rules of reality.
Trial of the Bear = Test your strength (combat)
Trial of the Wolf = Test your marksmanship (range)
Trial of the Raven = Test your guile (stealth)
Unlock unique rewards, that will both show your Mastery and give you more options in combat.
Numerous shrines are hidden in the world, each home to 3 trials.
To access Mastery Challenge you must be at least Power Level 221 and have completed the Uninvited Guests main quest after reporting on Grantebridgescire and Ledecestrescire.

RIVER RAIDS REFRESH

Upped the stakes: rivers at higher alert levels will have increased rewards.
Balanced Jomsvikings’ attack power to better match their rank.
Wayland’s armor will be available to buy in Vagn’s Store using Foreign cargo.

NEW SKILLS

Mounted Archer = Eivor can use their bow ability while mounted.
