Update Log #18 (Hellside Rift Dungeon, New Magic Spells, New Skilling Resources, Rune Pouch & MORE!)

[Bennie]

Greetings Exorians,

It's that time again! Today we'll bring you lots of new content additions, more skilling resources, new magic spells, some QOL and lots more. I'd like to take this time to thank our whole community for supporting Exora. We have received some questions regarding an Easter event, and would like to confirm now, that we are indeed doing an Easter event. It'll be similar to our previous events, just a bit different.

Now let's get to the update!

 

+ Hellside Rift Dungeon

The hellside rift dungeon is the first rift dungeon coming to Exora. Rift dungeons are time based dungeons that any player can access. Players may be able to freely enter and leave rift dungeons within their time frame. All players have a default time in rift for 1 hour, every day. Certain donator ranks have increased time in the rift. Once your time is up you will be kicked out of the rift. Players may be able to use a rift reset scroll obtained from monster drops/credit shop. Rifts contain lots of skilling resources, monsters and a multi-boss.

*New day event: Rift Mondays, 30 minutes increased time in the Rift.

How do I enter the rift?
The rift entrance is located south-east of home. Click the object to teleport to the rift. Once you enter the rift, your timer will start. You are able to leave and re-enter within your timer.

I'm sorry.  😞

 

But the Prestige rewards were a bit too strong. They were implemented years ago and never really noticed, until recently.

Very understandable! Are there other rewards/items that you feel fall in the same category? (Overpowered and/or outdated)

Not that I know of currently, we have too many items and systems at the moment. So it just depends which ones catches my eye.
