Staff and book, Ruins of Kantara and new homes

Oct 13, 2026

Wizards and their evolutions can use a staff and a book at the same time. Open the inventory with I and right-click to equip both items; the combination works in either order and stays equipped after leaving and rejoining. The book floats beside the mage and adds its magical bonuses. All six book tiers have new pixel art icons with their own covers and symbols.

An equipped book emits an animated effect from its edges that follows the character, even without upgrades. The first five editions have flames and details in gold, green, blue, violet and red, with different movements. The celestial book has white light, a halo and small feathers. To see it, equip any book in the mage's offhand slot.

The Ruins of Kantara open a new adventure region for levels 250 to 299. The route crosses the Courtyard of Gears and the Core of Kantara, among ruins, catwalks, gears and ancient buildings. Seren welcomes adventurers at the entrance camp.

To get there, talk to Selene in Lumen: travel to Kantara requires level 250 and costs 40,000 zen. Direct travel to the Core requires level 279 and costs 45,000 zen. A passage to Kantara also lies in the Crown of Winter. Nyxara and Arkon await adventurers who venture deeper into the region.

Merchants are now organized inside homes. In Lumen, visit Borin's Forge for weapons and Thorgar's Arsenal for armor. Noria has new homes for Thalion and Maelis, and Devias has Gunnar's forge. Brom remains in the plaza, working at his anvil and explaining where to find weapons and armor.

The owner's panel has new item, live map and monster screens. Its controls let the owner prepare item deliveries, inspect the map and configure temporary creature adjustments, with confirmation and a record of the actions.
