Fall Update
Live Realms

Welcome, Wizards, to Novus and the Fall Update!

What is Novus? Where did it come from? Why is it here? The answers to these questions will shake the very foundations of the Spiral.

Strange rocks have appeared over several worlds, each of them connected to each other through magic into Novus - a weird and wonderful world where dreams are reality. You must reach this place, master new magicks and navigate the complex politics of the Spiral Empires to preserve Novus from those who would corrupt it.

We are also introducing new spell masteries to help players win that next battle, diverse new Beastmoon event characters, exotic new upgrades to Castle Magic to maximize decorative abilities for player Castles, several new enhancements to guilds and other social systems, and much more. Check out the details below!

Fall Update Content:

*New world – Novus
*Archmastery & School Pips
*New Beastmoon Forms
*Beastmoon Event Schedule
*New Pin System – Gear Slots and Types
*New Castle Magic Items and Spells
*Social System Updates
*Bug Fixes and Other Changes

NEW WORLD – NOVUS

Arc Four continues! The World Synthesizer in Lemuria was destroyed and then, almost immediately, strange shards appeared over several worlds of the Spiral, connected to each other through magical gates. Together, they form Novus: a new world, a bizarre world, a gift to the peoples of the Spiral, a gift from… Something. The Wizard must reach this place, explore it, master new forms of magic, and navigate the complex politics of the Spiral’s Empires to preserve Novus from those who would corrupt it.

What is Novus? Where did it come from? Why is it here? The answers to these questions will shake the Spiral.

Important quest note! You need to have finished The Next Thing quest before talking to Maulwurf van Trap in the Arcanum next to Sybil to begin Novus.

As you explore Novus to reach the new level 160 experience cap, also be sure to check out the new Archmastery & School Pips on offer. Take a break from questing for a while to play as one of the new Beastmoon forms and get the shiny new event loot! ...
