April 2026 Major Update

Ascension and Endgame Progression Update

This release overhauls long-term progression with player ascension, heirloom preservation, crown essence collection, resonance dust crafting, and guild raid prestige. It also updates the website and announcement flow so players can keep up with changes more easily.

⭐ Ascension System

  • Players can ascend at max level for permanent Star bonuses and added Corruption.
  • Ascension now wipes gold, equipped gear, inventory, bank, stock portfolio, and regular scrolls.
  • Premium scrolls, skills, guild membership, achievements, crown essences, and heirlooms are preserved.
  • Star 4 now grants bonus crit damage and Star 5 raises the critical chance ceiling.

🏛️ Heirloom Rework

  • On !ascend CONFIRM, players choose their heirloom with reactions: Weapon, Armor, Ring, or Amulet.
  • Heirlooms are stored permanently and can be equipped again later from heirloom storage.
  • Equipped heirlooms now scale with player level in a WoW-style legacy gear model.
  • Unequipping an heirloom no longer duplicates it into inventory.

👑 Crown and Resonance Dust

  • Ascended players unlock the Raid Essence Crown and earn essences from first-time raid clears.
  • Repeat clears now award Resonance Dust instead of duplicate progress.
  • Dust can craft a random missing essence or a targeted missing essence at a higher cost.
  • Crown sockets, loadouts, and set bonuses add long-term raid progression depth.

🏰 Guild Prestige

  • Guilds that reach level 51 can use !guild prestige CONFIRM.
  • Prestige resets guild raid progression back to Raid 1 while keeping the guild itself intact.
  • Members, banked gold, guild identity, and social structure remain in place.
  • This makes post-clear raid progression replayable without forcing a new guild.

🌐 Website Updates

  • Top players and profile pages now show ascension stars beside names instead of a separate ascension card.
  • The commands page now includes ascension, crown, dust crafting, and guild prestige commands.
  • This new Patch Notes page is now a permanent web destination for recent changes.

📣 Announcement Tool

  • Announcements now send their message as plain content so links are clickable in Discord.
  • Every announcement now includes a stable Patch Notes link automatically.
