PWI Patch Notes v808 - Released August 19th, 2014
New Features
*New Zone: Luneska. Explore the frozen reaches of the eastern Primal World! Progress through five new Historical Phases, ultimately unlocking Luneska City itself!
*New Boundary: Astral Sky. Push past Mirage Sky in an epic quest that takes you through the icy kingdom of Luneska!
*Territory Resource Wars: Battle other factions for control of vital resources across Perfect World! Territory Resource Wars occur randomly on either Wednesday or Thursday at 20:00. Penalties for engaging in PvP are disabled while the battle is in progress.
*Sky Pirate Drake will now appear occasionally in the skies above the Primal World. When defeated he will open a portal to the Mirrorflower Treasury. Gather as much treasure as you can before time runs out, and trade it to Merchant Sokka in Kirin Town for fabulous prizes.
*Rings and Necklaces can now be engraved at Jewelcraftsman NPCs. Engraving an item will add a random stat to it. Higher-level items can be engraved with more powerful stats.
*The level 15 Sky Cover and Cloud Stir rings can now be upgraded into one of four new level 16 rings at Light Envoy Jade Snow in Archosaur. Upgrading will NOT preserve refinements or engravings.
*Title Quests have been added for the Boundless Grasslands and the Plain of Farewells.
*A new UI has been implemented for Fashion in the Cash Shop, allowing you to preview any piece of fashion on your character before you buy it.
*Divine Contracts have been added for the Primal World for those players who have reached the Arcane Sky Boundary. Reaching Mirage Sky and Astral Sky will unlock additional Divine Contract options.
*The Active Points system has been added! Each day, a number of quests will be listed that will grant Active Points. These points can be used to automatically complete daily quests to quickly earn rewards.
Game Changes
*The link between the Place of Origination and Perfect World has closed; new characters will once again start in their racial starting areas. Characters still in the Place of Origination will remain there until they choose to leave.
*When facing a Faction that controls more territories than your own in Territory Wars, you will now gain a buff that increases your Defense Level proportional to the difference in territories. If the difference is particularly high, it will increase Attack Level as well.
*The Guardian Scroll sale pop-up has been removed.
*Vitae rewards for the Arcane and Mirage Sky questlines have been increased.
*Enemy names in Sky Owl Stronghold and Snow Ape Ridge have been updated for consistency.
Bug Fixes
User Interface
*Exploring the Quests section of the Rookie Guide will no longer crash the game.
*Chat filters are now applied to player consignment shops.
*Minor text fixes throughout the game.
World Environment
*Corrected a transparency error above the City of Raging Tides.
Skills
Visual and audio effects have been restored to all skills.
Barbarian
*The Sage version of Strength of the Titans now properly consumes the same amount of mana as its tooltip states.
Mystic
*The Demon version of Energy Leech now uses the correct color for its tooltip.
*The Demon version of Storm Dance now deals the proper amount of damage.

Surtr from the south wielding fire
The gods' swords shine in the darkness, like stars in the night
Mountains collapse into rubble and fiends shall fall
Man walks the road to ruin as the sky splits in two
