The next version update is scheduled for mid-May.

May brings with it the addition of combat skills and magic skills to the alter ego points system, increased hallmarks and badges of gallantry for certain difficulty levels in Ambuscade, and the Trust Primer has been added to the rewards available based on total hallmarks earned.

In an effort to further improve the character progression system, we plan to update the game with new features, including the ability to automatically accept objectives in the Records of Eminence, as well as new tutorial and game content objectives.

The following campaigns will commence on Friday, May 1 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT).

Be sure to take advantage of this special limited-time offer to earn extra exemplar points! This is your chance to reach those Master Levels!

Plus, the campaign has been extended due to everyone achieving 150% of the Vana'Bout - Round 8 target goal!
