 This update looks to improve the overall player experience with several improvements under the hood to help you get into the dungeons quickly. We’ve improved the High-Roller matchmaking logic and reduced the CMM window so battles can ramp up more naturally. We have added a ‘quick fill’ function that makes it easier to quickly sell your plunder from the dungeons. We’ve added an indicator making it easier to identify items that are associated with your current quests. We’ve updated the helmets to be more flexible so that races with headgear restrictions can now equip certain headgear that make visual sense. We’ve improved swimming to make it a bit more comfortable when navigating the Ship Graveyard map. Finally, we’ve made several balance upgrades, networking improvements, and numerous bugs fixes to make the overall dungeons experience smoother. We will continue to focus on smoothing out the user experience as we build up to the next major update. Thank you and see you in the dungeons!

 This update adds support that allows us to start fine tuning the balance of the monsters in the Faustian Bargain. Our long term end-goal for the Faustian Bargain feature is to eventually expand it to become its own fully supported game mode. For this update, we’ve adjusted some of the basic attributes for several of the current monsters. Our plan is to continue tweaking the monster settings and expanding the feature, including growing the monster pool, throughout this season. Thank you and see you in the dungeons!

Unified Adventure Rank – Adventurer Rank progress is now unified across all party sizes. You no longer need to start your Adventure Rank journey afresh just because a member of your crew decided to go to bed.

New Seasonal DLC pack – An amazing bundle of brand-new cosmetic items to get you in the sea-faring mood!

We have also decided to start this season with a two-week ‘Solo Self Found’ event based on the positive response from the previous season. This means that the Trading Post and Marketplace will not open until October 7, 2025.

We have also decided to commence the Adventure Rank season and the Religion feature right from the start of EA Season 7. For adventurers that participated in EAS 6 and EAS 6.9 (SSW) Adventure Rank seasons, be sure to redeem your rewards from both seasons through the ‘Leaderboard’ menu. The Arena season will commence slightly later on October 7, 2025.

Finally a small ‘Welcome Delivery’ pack will be given with an array of starting items to all players. Please collect your ‘Welcome Delivery’ pack from the Expressman’s ‘Post Express’ service tab. We thank you and see you in the dungeons!
