The first slice of the new Runes of Magic update, Chapter 3: The Elder Kingdoms, is now up on the official server. The update(3.0.0), titled “King’s Call” introduces a small portion of the continent of Zandorya. The update also adds a series of new items, quests, and new features. Players can now select the difficulty of instances like “Hall of Survivors” and “Heart of the Ocean.” There’s also a new function that lets players save their current progress in a dungeon or during a raid and return later(praise Jesus).
Updates to the monster card system are also present, cards which drop off monsters will now provide attribute bonuses. Guilds also have new things to play with. Chapter 3 brings with it three new guild drill grounds, six new guild quests, and stone fortifications to expand guild castles. Finally, slight balance changes have been made to keep gameplay as fair as possible.
