Will we be able to hand in an already started clue? I got an elite, started doing it and then got to know about this update coming tomorrow... Need to know ASAP so I can complete it and get another one in case that's not possible. Hope someone can help me, thanks a lot!

If you have ideas which you would like to see in game, let us know!

Raids would be a perfect opportunity to finally release a weapon for the magic skill.


Melee has gotten 3 with the dragon sword making 4 while range just got the ballista. Mages are still stuck with the staff of the dead as being the only viable option for PvP which was released way back with GWD.

There are actually several options of what can be done, but I believe by far the easiest and most balanced would be simply a PvP trident or a upgrade component to allow the existing trident to be used. It could change it to "Trident of Lava" or something.

There are several reasons for this:

1. By KO potential being dependent on venge, a mage would be losing all of their utility. So balance issues with tb, ice barrage, etc is of no concern. As long as the accuracy is kept reasonably low on this, other choices would be superior for such spells.

2. Minimal impact on hybriding/warring. Refer to above.


It wouldnt be minimal impact on #2

No one uses veng in warring (or hybridding), this would just create better dps when the opponent is already frozen.

Idk if you've been multi recently (in a clan fight ~20v20+), it's gotten pretty tough to tank. Between ballista spears and zgs, players cant pray mage anymore when piled. If magers were given comparable dps and the same utility by having trident in pvp, it would be next to impossible.

It's impossible to release a KO weapon for magic that's not OP. Magic is a utility skill, and the people asking for it to be otherwise is simply insane. Unless they remove all ancients above blood burst, teleblock, and entangle anything of the sort will break the game.

When is the construction update then? )':

^ I was wondering as well, thanks for asking!

I'm putting my money on next month, September latest. Although it was just polled June 20th and the Clue Expansion poll came out April 14th. They're both pretty large updates.

Oh wow, very glad to see insignias being removed from raids. They were way too OP. I'll probably actually vote yes now.

Looking forward to the clue expansion! :D

Non-degradable T70 rapier would be good. Maybe equal stats to tentacle with extreme rarity as a drop. It'd make a player choose between spending big for no degrading or having to lose money over time steadily by sacrificing whips.
