content auto translated from {from}

At the end of April, the game 'Allods Online' will receive a major update 17.1, along with the opening of a new subscription server 'Spark of Greatness'. Players can expect accelerated leveling, free class switching, and increased rewards, as well as a fresh PvP arena, a revamped gear system, and much-anticipated class balance adjustments for the Engineer and Mystic classes.

Update 17.1: Simplification of the Gear System, New Major Battle, and a Map for Ranked Duels

One of the key innovations will be a new large-scale battle ‘Lair of the Basilisks’ in a 12 vs 12 format. The events will unfold in the lands of Kvatra, where two teams of heroes will fight for dominance over the central fortress. The battle will alternate with other modes of random battles and will be available to all max-level players.

Another PvP addition will be the appearance of the fifth map for ranked duels — ‘Terraces of Valir’. The arena is designed in the recognizable architectural style of Kvatra and will be available for both battle modes: 3x3 and 6x6.

The 17.1 update will also revamp the gear acquisition system, to make progress smoother and more intuitive. It should also resolve issues with weapons lagging significantly behind other items in power. Six types of astral signs will be replaced with three, merged by quality instead of being tied to slots, and new resources can be freely sold at the auction and transferred to other players.

There will also be significant changes to two game classes — Mystic and Engineer, making them more relevant and diverse.

New Server 'Spark of Greatness': Accelerated Start and Equal Opportunities

On the server 'Spark of Greatness', players will be greeted by a comprehensive bonus system aimed at accelerated development and a comfortable immersion in the gameplay. The main focus is on increasing leveling speed: characters will gain more Ignis experience, level up faster, and earn all major in-game currencies more readily.

Particular attention is paid to gear convenience and role switching on the new server. Players will have the freedom to change their character's class without any restrictions, and to ease gear collection, there will be an increased chance of obtaining complete Dragon Shapeshift items on the server. An easy exchange mechanic will be introduced: unnecessary complete items can be dismantled into Dragon Scales and exchanged at a special vendor in the capital for necessary Seals to help collect the required set faster.

The server 'Spark of Greatness' will appear on the general list after the installation of update 17.1. New players will have free access to it for 14 days from the date of registration.

The developers also remind that the game 'Allods Online' is available not only on VK Play, but also on the Astrum Play platform.
