Live patch du 11/08/2026: "Refresh!"

On Tuesday August 11th we will be taking down the live shards for the deployment of Update 26.1: Refresh! This update is on the smaller side, comparable to the 25.2 Summer Update, as we cool down from the Piece of Mind update and prepare for other things on the horizon. The full patch notes follow below.

New Content & Quests

- Attunement to Serenity:
*Dragon version has been renamed to “Attunement to Serenity: The Bone Collector”, revamped and is now given by Semeneth the Ancient instead of Kaliphar. It is available to Dragon Adventurers at level 25 minimum.
*Quests “Attunement to Serenity - Collecting Bones” and “Attunement to Serenity - Collecting Unblemished Bones” have been removed from players’ questbooks if they were active. Players will need to obtain “Attunement to Serenity: The Bone Collector” by themselves from Semeneth the Ancient.
*Bipeds with level 25 in their current adventure school can now attune to Serenity at Semeneth the Ancient near Chiconis… if he’s in a good mood.
- Spell: Concussion (I to V) and Spell: Flesh Rot (I to V) techniques have been added:
*Similar to spell techniques like Spell: Chill or Spell: Cinder, Spell: Concussion applies a debuff that increases Mind damage on the target.
*Spell: Flesh Rot applies a debuff that increases Blight damage on the target.
*Tier I to IV techniques have been added to Spellcrafter trainers.
*Tier V techniques have been added to treasure tables and to Techatrons.
- Attribute Gift Spells (Gift of Strength, Gift of Power, etc.):
*Beginner formulas have been added to Scholar trainers in New Trismus, Kion, Sslanis and Dalimond and Spellcrafter trainers in Kion, Sslanis and Dalimond.
*Journeyman formulas have been added to Spellcrafter trainers in Mahagra, New Rachival, Feladan and Kirsanct.
*Expert formulas have been added to Aughundell Spellcrafter trainer.
*These spell formulas had previously been removed from trainers with the addition of the more refined Gift Spells (Gift of The Brawler, Gift of the Colossus, etc.) as they were internally considered replacements. Because there was no action taken regarding existing and/or scribed formulas the spells remained easily available to veterans, and for this reason we have decided to bring them back, but have no intention on updating them further.
