You thought Calamar Island had no secrets for you anymore? You were highly mistaken!

There will be a 24 hour wait time between conquests. This amendment is made to get prepared for the new rules of NvN that will be put in place with the overhaul of the system in the future.

With this update, this conquerable island will be completely revampled (Dev Blog):

The treasure hunt feature will first be implemented on Calamar Island, and then in the rest of the world with future updates.

You will have to craft your own shovel (Handyman recipe level 0 at the machine of Calamar Island, or by participating to the Gravedigger Game at the Trool Fair) in order to dig the sands of Captain Calamari and maybe find a hidden treasure!

The shovel is used the same way as resource planting: just double-click on the tool and then on the ground to dig. The floor cells will turn green as you pass over them if digging is available. Note that your shovel will be destroyed after this action.

May Ecaflip watch over you!

3 NEW DUNGEONS

Astrub: Shin Larva Dungeon (level 15)

This Dungeon can be found in the Astrub Sewers and will make you fight Shin Larva and its slimy offspring. Complete this journey to the darkest and dingiest corners of Astrub and you may come back with one of the 4 Larvesque sets (Wet, Windy, Silty, or Roasted). Even better: you could come back with the Shin Larva set (level 20) or its Imperial version (level 40)! This dungeon also has 3 new achievement waiting for you!

Amakna: Treechnid Dungeon (level 60)

You’ll find the entrance to this dungeon in Emelka. Treechnids will be waiting for you with their friends, Arachnees! Pieces of the Ancestral (level 65) and Imperial (level 85) Treechnid Sets will be waiting for you too! Sorry we couldn’t make this one easy. If you want the full set you’ll have to visit Bonta’s Treechnid Dungeon as well…

Bonta: Treechnid Dungeon (level 60)

What would be more appropriate than Yurbut to receive Treechnids? This dungeon will be the same as the one in Amakna except for the set pieces that can be acquired here. Collectors will be able to get the complete set of the Ancestral and Imperial sets by gathering the pieces in both dungeons! 3 new achievements wait just beyone deep within these two dungeons.

 

REBALANCING OF THE DUNGEON MACHINES

Save your tokens! The values of equipment pieces offered by the Machines will be reduced in order to make them more accessible. Here are the costs that will be applied:

Family sets:

• Common equipment = 2 tokens
• Normal equipment = 3 tokens
• Rare equipment = 5 tokens
• Mythic equipment = 12 tokens

Royal sets:

• Normal equipment = 4 tokens
• Rare equipment = 9 tokens
• Mythic equipment = 22 tokens

ADDING EMOTICONS TO ALL CREATURES

Some families already were lucky enough to wear their feelings on their sleeves during combat… But most of them just didn’t benefit from this addition. With this update, you will now see the reactions of your opponents when using your best attacks…

CLASSES

General

• Due to many changes applied to character classes, a spell and abilities reset will be offered to all characters with the quest “Restate of Emergency”.
