These items can be used to upgrade your skills with additional effects based on the glyph used, which can range from increased damage to converting healing spells into direct damage! There are five glyph types: Golden, Verdant, Ethereal, Sanguine, and Argent. The first Glyph Slot can be unlocked in the Celestial Vale, while the rest can be unlocked in the Western Steppes. Two require Chaotic Soul, and three require Celestial Saint.

KNOWN ISSUES

*Sovereign Seals can now be exchanged for Rank 8 Boundless materials at the Contemplation Forge in Archosaur.

You mean Rank 9 Boundless ? , because that woud be really nice, i guess it was a good idea to not npc those after all.

Using World Chat in rapid succession will incrementally increase the number of Teleacoustics needed for each message, up to a maximum of 32. The cost will reset back to 1 after 1 minute.

Today is a sad day.

kalyst tyvm really made me happy i love it play some of my alts but no way to lvl them cuz of lack of time of work hope you have good day ^^

I kinda like the idea of the world chat thing, but to increase the required amount of tele's used per post kinda kills the conversations to be seen in game, especially when something funny is going on or those seeking help with something. There should honestly be a set time limit... like sticking with the regular posting cycles, but only allow a max of 32 or whatever posts per minute then giving the 1-2 minute cooldown. Just making it cost more tele's with this new layout is just going to drive up the price of tele's which are plenty expensive as it is.

32 posts per minute? o.O

Holy spam

Unfortunately, technical issues are going to prevent us from performing maintenance tonight. We are rescheduling for tomorrow at the same time. We apologize profusely for the delay, and thank you for your patience.

It's the 11th, didn't you know? That's 2 ones, which means it's April Fool's twice! Double the prank!

@bulletman Yes there is actually a code going out to your emails and will be posted on the newspost when it goes live! Everyone both active and inactive players will be receiving the same code to use to get level assisting items!

Also, spoiler alert, Invite a Friend is back! *throws confetti* For two weeks players will be able to access alot of buffs like Ancient Gifts to assist with leveling and Vitae gain in the new area! A new Community login will also start tomorrow with slightly scaled down hours since we're starting late and that event will also give out Ancient Gifts.

Also no changes to Lunar or TT in regards to anti APS buffs. The instance people were seeing in CN that looked like Lunar was actually an event instance that players will be seeing later this year!

So you say new boundary lvl from the new area?

I hope this is not true. Are you crazy? World chat is already dead or almost dead sometimes anyway.
Maybe China's servers need this but we sure as hell don't.
You will drive more players away, as it becomes more difficult to form squads, sell items, and entertain each other with banter (yes I know it gets out of hand sometimes, but this is NOT the way to fix that).
Please find a way to disable this in our server's version.

Should make it easier, actually, as we won't have to compete with spammers when making squads/selling stuff, etc.
