New Features

Garden of Heaven

The Garden of Heaven is a new area which can be reached via the portals in each kingdoms palace (Derion: Brunas king's palace, Valorian: High King Neban Maha's palace). It is a contested area and therefore players of the opposing kingdom can always be attacked. If the War in the Garden of Heaven is not currently active all gates on the map are opened. Here you will also find the portal to enter the two new instances “Hellfirelabyrinth” and “Marduks Nest”.



War in the Garden of Heaven

This feature was added for all the PvP enthusiast. It is the biggest PvP-Feature in 4Story with no limit for the amount of players that can participate. The goal for every kingdom is to defeat the opposing kingdoms leader. The War in the Garden of Heaven will take place every Saturday 30 minutes after the end of the area conquest. Shortly before the “War in the Garden of Heaven” will commence, all players currently that are currently in the map “Garden of Heaven” will be teleported to their capital city. With the start of the war the gates on the map will close. When the war is finished there will be a short time of peace (5 minutes) within the boundaries of the map (this is like the peace time after the end of the area conquests). This peace time is extended if the war is over before 40 minutes have passed. More information can be found in our Guide: The War in the Garden of Heaven



Gemstone-System

The Iberian smiths have found a new way to make weapons and armor even more powerful than before. Magical gems which can be obtained from monsters or from the cash-shop can be applied to your precious armor and weapons. These Gemstones will raise the … level by 1. But there is no way to apply more than 5 of these magical gems to your items. Be advised that the successrate for applying the gems to your items decreases with each gem that was successfully applied. Since we are talking about artisan work all gems will break if the smith is not successful at adding a new one. More information can be found in our Guide: The Gemstone-System



Hellfirelabyrinth

The Hellfirelabyrinth, seat of the mighty firelord Moloch, can be reached via the portal in the Garden of Heaven. Moloch and his minions await groups of highest level players. It is not advised to wander in these caverns alone. All monsters within the Hellfirelabyrith have high resistances against area of effect and stunning skills (except the skills of Warriors and Nightwalkers). Therefore every group of heroes should prepare for hard fights. Items that are obtained with the reaches of the Hellfirelabyrinth cannot be used for refining and can only be repaired by using the traveling tools.



Marduks Nest

In his lair Marduk the much-feared dragon waits with his warriors for lightheaded heroes to teach them a lesson. Players of the highest levels that already have defeated Moloch in the Hellfirelabyrinth will find another and much-harder challenge. Marduks Nest should not be visited alone as all monsters will again have a high resistance against area of effect and stunning skills (except warrior and nightwalker skills). You may enter Marduks Nest via the portal in the Garden of Heaven. Items that are obtained with the reaches of the Marduks Nest cannot be used for refining and can only be repaired by using the traveling tools.



Utility Bar

If it happens that you do not know where to find the next smith or salesman you can use the new Utility Bar and your character will start walking towards the next NPC of your choice.



Additional Modifications

Four new haircuts for each race/gender combinationThese can eiter be selected at character creation or can be obtained by a cash-shop item.
Pearl merchant Rusiela arrived in Tebekut and sells her precious pealrs there. Pearls are strange magical items that, once broken, can reveal a wide variety of items. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell which items will be revealed before breaking the pearl.
Reward Inbox Should you receive rewards for a successful participation in the area occupation, castle sieges, War in the Garden of Heavon or the nation wars within the mission maps you will not receive them in your normal inbox anymore. These rewards will now be shown in the rewards inbox that can be reached by opening you normal inbox and then click on the button for the reward inbox.
Münzen des Endendros können nun bei speziellen NPCs (in jeder Hauptstadt) in Bonuspunkte umgetauscht werden. Es werden 100 Münzen des Endendros benötigt um 1000 Bonuspunkte zu erhalten. Der Bonuspunkte Shop ist jedoch noch nicht verfügbar. Ihr könnt jedoch bereits jetzt anfangen euer Bonuspunkte Konto zu füllen. Wenn in wenigen Wochen der Bonuspunkte Shop geöffnet wird könnt ihr dann direkt zuschlagen.

and ofc the cherry on top:(no stones dropped in dungeon 85-90)
We think that the PvP weapons should be earned through PvP and not through PvE. We therefore put other things like "Bonus points" into the essences.
