Patch Preview: Interface Changes

  • The big dungeon patch is coming ever closer, and today we're going to show you the interface changes the new update will bring.


    Instance Matching


    In the Instance Matching window you'll be able to see the difficulty of the dungeons as well as the most important items which can be picked up in each instance.



    Boss Health Points


    Bosses in instances will now have a modified health bar, making it easier to see which stage of a boss fight you're in. In some cases icons will appear indicating that the enemy is about to unleash a powerful attack or that there is a time limit to the fight.


    Once the health bar turns red, the end isn't far away!


    Profile (P)


    The profile overview now includes details of items' enchantment levels (the figure in the top right corner of the icon).



    Improved Enchanting Window


    The enchanting window has been revised and now offers extra functions and information.



    • For improved clarity, the current and new statuses are displayed side-by-side.
    • A recommended selection of sacrifice equipment is displayed. In addition, the alkahest available in your inventory will automatically be selected.
    • A new function for automatically making multiple enchantment attempts is now available. The possible number of enchantments is dependent on the available materials.

    When auto-enchanting, new enchantments will be carried out until the desired number of attempts has been reached.


    The following overview is provided after an automatic enchantment:



    Information Overview


    When you have achieved a new title, accepted or completed a quest, or simply collected various items, a pop-up will appear giving you information about it.



    Character Name


    The information displayed above characters' heads has been revised and now provides more detailed information about the characters:

    • Crafting occupation (golden icon)
    • Alliance
    • Alliance position
    • Title and guild

    Crafting System


    The crafting system was already expanded with the previous patch. The new instances allow you to also become a master. As with becoming an artisan, you need to pass a test to achieve this rank. In addition, new level III etching designs have been introduced, as well as designs for the stronger brooches.
