🪧 General
General improvements and adjustments have been made across the game client to enhance overall functionality and player experience.
-
Ancient Power - Advanced calculation
New item frame- Ancient Power (AP) evolves to a even more look-alike of the broadly known Gear Score. Use this number to compare your items quickly and efficient.
- As its importance raised, we added AP to the item preview throughout the whole game, eg. inventory, armory or market place.
-
Ancient Power (AP) scales with following factors:
- Base value per rarity (uncommon, rare, epic and legendary)
- Quality (1% to 100%)
- Level (I to V)
- Socketed Gems
-
With these adjustments, items of varying rarities and levels can now perform nearly equally on the battlefield. Minor ups and downs are intentional and apply exclusively to the attributes Attack, Defense and Hitpoints.
-
As a quality of life feature, there is a new toggle in the settings to choose always the numeric variant. Click the gear icon in the top right corner of the app and change it to your liking.
-
