Outfit Vote! TROS Update! 11th Loyalty Reward!!! (Patreon)

***EDIT: Patreon doesn't seem to allow opening the hi-res image version. With that we've attached the hi-res version for closer inspection as links at the bottom of the post.***

Greetings Maiden Nation! This is your Maiden Commander speaking! Just wanted to give you all an update on where we are with the development of our BIGGEST EXPANSION TO DATE "THE REALM OF SHADOWS". We're at 85% completion and we're circling around to bring this bad boy in for a smooth landing and we are stoked at the idea of our amazing players experiencing what we have put together. We believe this will be a bigger and better expansion than OSOT with a lot of quality-of-life improvements made for new players as well as tons of content to enjoy for our most experienced players.

TROS will feature the biggest drop of new FREE & PAID COSMETICS since the launch of the game and there are so many improvements to existing features and mechanics as well as completely brand-new systems like Enchantment and Corruption, Blitz Mode, Optional Stronghold Mid-Bosses, Dual Stronghold Bosses, new battle mechanics and much more!!!

With all of the excitement we want to try and take any steps we can to ensure that players coming into the expansion will have a smooth transition into their gameplaying experience. Our plan is to provide a new set of video tutorials to help players with changes to existing mechanics as well as tutorials for new mechanics. Along with that we wanted to take the time to help point out a few things that players can do to prepare for TROS.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR TROS

With the expansion coming there are a few things that existing players can work on to ensure a smooth start headed into our next expansion featuring a variety of new enemies along with an enemy starting level of 20. Here are just a few things to consider.

1 - All gear is good gear. We will be a bit cryptic on this but just know that gear in all forms and variety have use. We'll just leave it there.

2 - INT Level: Keep in mind that TROS enemies start (before DI use) with a level of 20. This means that players will need to ensure that their go to gear sets have an overall INT level at or beyond 20. We have increased the starting INT level for several classes to lighten the load on this task (details in the patch notes), but it will be a good idea to keep an eye out for this as players with below the minimum INT levels will not be able to view Mob names, level or hp until they are above it.

3 - Power Level: The main quest line will feature a Power Level requirement (similar to The Awakening and The Other Side of Time). Any work done to increase your Power Level will help to accomplish this goal sooner when TROS is available to players.

4 - Shard Level: TROS will come with an all-new set of limited time available cosmetics in the Shard Shop. You may want to check your Shard Balance if you’re looking to acquire some of these limited time available cosmetics on launch day.

5 - Naughty Gear: If you have any blueprints that you'd like to spruce up to get them prepared for some seriously naughty cosmetics be sure to take on this task now so that when TROS drops you will be ready to outfit them with the accompanying gear to take them on a journey on the wild side :D

Well, that's it for now. We will be releasing some gameplay footage next month so look forward to seeing it! Check out the patch notes listed below for a full listing of where we are with the development work on the expansion.

Last but definitely not least, THE 11TH MONTH MAIDEN+ LOYALTY REWARD IS UP FOR VOTE!!! That's right! When TROS drops you will not only receive one but two brand new outfits as a loyalty reward in our efforts to fill up the month's rewards. Take a look at the (3) outfits available and vote on which one you would like to see as the official 11th month loyalty reward! I've got my favorite but I'll keep it to myself for now but these outfits look AMAZING!!! :D

As always THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR LOVE, POSITIVE VIBES AND AMAZING SUPPORT! NONE OF THE DEVELOPMENT ON THIS AMAZING EXPANSION WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT!!! <3<3<3

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

- Maiden Commander
