Ho Ho Ho, Exorians!

It's that time of the year again! Happy early Christmas. I wanted to take this time to thank the whole Exora community, you're all awesome and I appreciate the support, feedback and suggestions. We've now been online for over a year and a half! It's been a ride, and we've introduced so much content, changes and general QOL. We're planning on doing so much more this year, we hope you're there for it.

Here's what we're planning to do in the short and long term (in no particular order):
 - Superior Boss Tasks
 - Massive skilling update involving: Skilling world boss, Skilling monsters, Skilling pet equipment and levels, Skilling zone rewards
 - Prestige point system, similar to how skillmaster and slayer are set up, to provide more benefits to your character.
 - New BiS weaponry and equipment from the Titan Forge.
 - Grouping revamp
 - Hard mode raids
 - More titan forge pets from beginner to end-game

& A lot more 🙂

Now, let's get to the update! Today we'll bring you the Christmas Event, Changes to the fail-safe ticket, a new donator rank, a new donator zone and the Battle Pass season 9!

We've just released new deals and coupon codes, which can be found here:

 

NOTE: New client is required for some of the updates. Download new one here: https://exora.io/play
or use the Launcher to update your client.

 

+ Christmas 2022 Event

We wanted to do something different with the Christmas event, while still keeping the base event of killing monsters for tokens. With this event we've added a new global event that happens every hour which provides drops and temporary character benefits. We also added a new event outside of the Christmas event, you can now gain temporary character benefits randomly when killing monsters. And lastly, there are now zone rewards in the Christmas events, which will guarantee you a few christmas soulcages!

Not only that, but we wanted to give new and mid tier players a way to obtain better upgrades, and even a new shoulder pet. You can now get a weaponry up to T4, and you can also obtain a snowman shoulder pet, with similar effects like the snail. You can even upgrade the snowman to have the same stats as the snail. There's a lot more to uncover!

End date: 20th of January, 2023
 

  + Santa's Quest
To start with the Christmas event, you'll first have to complete Santa's quest. Help Santa defeat Fake Santa's disciples and save Christmas. In order to start the quest meet Santa in Santa's Dungeon. You can enter it via the global teleports or using the command ::xmas. Completing Santa's quest will allow you to receive drops and Christmas tokens from the monsters in the dungeon. You'll also receive a Christmas Mystery box, and a Reindeer locator which will come in handy later! Note: This quest can only be completed once per day per IP.

  + Christmas Sunfreet
The Christmas Sunfreet World Boss is back! The events tab shows when he will spawn. He will drop lots of Christmas goodies and general World Boss drops, and of course World Boss essence. He will spew out snowballs instead of flames! So be aware. To teleport to him use the command ::xmasfreet

  + Christmas Present
The Christmas Present is a World Boss that will spawn every few hours. Defeat the Present and it will burst out with Christmas candies! It also contains Christmas goodies and general World Boss loot. At 50% HP the Present will be invincible and spawn in snow imps, defeat them and continue attacking the Present. At 25% HP the Present will be invincible and spawn in Yeti's, defeat them and kill the Present . The Present appears in the Santa's Dungeon. Use command ::present to get faster access when it spawns.

+ Santa's Reindeer
Once you complete Santa's Quest you'll receive a reindeer locator. This is an important item to help you locate the Reindeer. Santa needs his reindeer back, so all you have to do is find the reindeer and shoo it away to Santa! The first 3 players that find the reindeer will receive its rewards.

When you find the reindeer, it will also give you temporary character benefits for 30 minutes. They are as follows:
  - 1% increased drop rate
  - 25% increased XP rate

Using the reindeer locator will give you hints about where it is located, the first hint is very vague, the longer it takes to find it the easier the hints become. The reindeer will appear every 1 hour.

javaw_Bd5JW698TS.gif

+ Magical Snowfall
While killing monsters there's a low chance to receive temporary character benefits. You'll roll either the increased drop rate or XP rate. They're the same as the reindeer benefits, so the reindeer and snowfall boosts will not stack. However if you happen to get another magical snowfall, while  your timer is still active it will refresh your timer.

javaw_fU5sVOmvId.gif

  + Christmas Tokens
After completing Santa's Quest monsters in Santa's Dungeon will now always drop Christmas tokens. These monsters will drop anywhere between 50-120 per kill depending on the monster, however this amount can be enhanced with Christmas trinkets. You will now also be able to receive Christmas tokens from general gameplay such as; Tasks Scrolls, Clue Scrolls, Dailies, completing slayer tasks and skill tasks. Tokens can be spent in Santa Claus' shop. He stands at home, patiently awaiting Exorians.
javaw_72gyFfixZE.gif

+ Christmas Zone Rewards
In the Santa dungeon you'll now be able to progress through zone rewards! You'll be able to obtain a bunch of Christmas soulcages, lots of mystery boxes, snowman shoulder pets, weaponry and a lot more. This is a way for players to grind a good amount of rewards without RNG!

 + Christmas Slayer Tasks
During the Christmas event, you'll now also be able to receive Christmas monster slayer tasks. This allows you to also progress your slayer while doing the event! These are the monsters you can get as a slayer task, and their tier. Tier means that you can kill another mob and still progress your task. Similar to Cerberus and hellhounds. 

  + Tier 1 (Vannaka, Chaeldar)
     - Snowman Ranger
     - Snowman Mage
     - Snowman Warrior
  + Tier 2 (Vannaka, Chaeldar)
     - Snow Imp
     - Yeti
  + Tier 3 (Sumona, Kuradal)
     - Fake Santa
     - Queen of Snow

 + Christmas Emblems
Emblems are a way for players to get more Christmas tokens while grinding out in Santa's dungeon. They have a chance to drop from monsters in the area, and will only drop once Santa's Quest has been completed. Emblems can be cut with chisels to turn in to Christmas tokens. You will be notified by a game message that an emblem has dropped. 

  + Ancient Santa Hat
     - When broken with a chisel gain 2500-3500 Christmas Tokens.
  + Blessed Bauble
     - When broken with a chisel gain 2000-2500 Christmas Tokens.
  + Forgotten Relic

  + Broken Hilt
     - When broken with a chisel gain 500-1000 Christmas Tokens.

 + Christmas Adventurer's Log

Most players don't even know adventurer's log exist. Just a reminder to check the log, and claim any rewards you may have missed. We've added a new book called Santa's Book. This will only be in the log until the event has ended. Meanwhile, you can complete Christmas tasks to receive Christmas rewards. They're fairly easy, and you have a total of 4 tasks to complete for some goodies.

If you don't know where it is simply go to Quest Tab > click on "Adventurer's Log"

  + Christmas Rewards
I know you've been waiting for this! With the new event, comes new equipment and items to forge and obtain! As previously mentioned we've focused a bunch of new to mid tier players.

javaw_HVd3ZC7OPB.gif

And that's it for the Christmas event! Let's get to the rest of the update.

 

+ Fail-Safe Changes
We decided to do some changes to the fail-safe ticket, it was a bit too strong for the price. While it didn't guarantee you to succeed, it did keep your ingredients from disappearing. This caused the issue that barely any secondary materials were removed from the economy, only if you succeeded. We still want to keep the same idea of the fail-safe ticket, protecting the most valuable ingredients such as equipment and battle pet plates. So we went with a decision that makes it so the current fail-safe ticket becomes a 'weakened' fail-safe ticket. All current fail-safe tickets are now changed to the weakened version.

This makes it so players aren't able to spam fail-safe tickets to succeed that much. However, if you wish to guarantee ALL your ingredients are protected you can combine x2 weakened fail-safe tickets to create a superior fail-safe ticket. The superior version makes it so all your ingredients are protected. 

This also serves the purpose of the Titan forge, it was always meant to be a risk to upgrade your gear. You can still use the weakened version, and protect your main ingredients, but there's a chance you'll lose half of the secondary ingredients. However you also have a chance to succeed your forge or keep your secondary ingredients, which means you've saved the cost of 1 weakened fail-safe ticket. Here are the details:

 + Weakened fail-safe ticket
   - When failing a forge using a weakened fail-safe ticket:
      - 50% chance to keep half of secondary ingredients.
      - 50% chance to keep all of secondary ingredients.
        - Secondary ingredients consists of the following:
           - Elemental dusts
           - Superior essence
           - Titanite shards
           - Lava bars
           - Twilight shards
           - Vengeful shards
           - Undying shards
   - Additional Effect: Combine x2 fail-safe tickets to create a superior fail-safe ticket.

 + Weakened fail-safe ticket
   - When failing a forge attempt, guaranteed to protect all of your ingredients.

javaw_1H7bKhSF6C.gif

+ Pet Changes
We've made some changes to level boost items such as the hunger enchantment and event pet food. As well as the feed requirement from level 50 and above.

  - Enchantment of hunger is now capped at pet level 50. Beyond that pet level it will no longer passively feed your pet.
  - Event pet food items is now capped at pet level 45. It will no longer work beyond that level.
  - Significantly lowered the item requirement per level from levels 50 to 60.

+ Eternal Zone
Finally...it's here! The eternal zone that has been promised a decade ago! We made sure it looked the part. In the eternal zone you can do the general skilling like the Master zone. It has some extras like the Akdall's tree, Additional Safe box and new multi zones which containes new monsters.

You can teleport to the eternal zone via the command ::eternal or via the global teleports. Of course, you can only teleport there if you have the rank of eternal and above.

It's still a bit bare bones, but we're planning on adding more features along the way. There are teleporters around the sky-island, since it's quite big. Here's some media of the zone:

javaw_EWiYw5Bgns.gif

javaw_MU3IaS1l1t.gifjavaw_znsgnZKuC3.gif

+ Divine Rank
