To open the soul imbuing window, go to the top menu and click on Others > Soul Imbuing

• Soul scrolls are now linked to your character (not equipment)

• Created a shop to buy soul scrolls using the currency Soul Fragment. These soul scrolls are bound to your character and can only be bought if you completed its bestiary

For legacy server: The soul scroll (and unlockers used) from your equipment will be transferred to your purse

Instanced Quests

Now you can do quests without being annoyed by unwanted intruders. 

• You will have to setup an instance for the desired quest

Instances can be either public or private.

 Public Instances can be viewed and joined by anyone without approval of the instance leader

 Private Instances can be viewed by anyone, but entering requires instance leader permission

 You do not need to organize a party beforehand. If the party was organized beforehand, then when party leader hits the Create button, everyone in the quest vicinity that’s in the party will be teleported inside

 If someone wishes to join a private instance, they must send a join request to the instance leader, which will decide if that player is allowed to join or not.

Quest Difficulties

You are now able to choose a quest difficulty.

Quests now have 3 difficulties: Easy, Normal and Hard.

 Easy difficulty applies a negative modifier to monster's health and damage, while also reducing rewards;

 Normal has no changes applied;

 Hard has an increase of all of the modifiers above.

Daily Boss

We had some changes to this system. Now it has selectable difficulties with scaling rewards accordingly, alongside the introduction of the Soul Fragments into it.

• Each increasing difficulty will result in higher boss health, damage and loot rate, while also adding more loot to the drop table, including soul fragments as a guaranteed drop starting from difficulty 5.

• Added a new daily boss *The pale worm* for players of level 1300 and more.

Raid Boss

Traits are a new attribute that you can imbue to your equipment (Weapon/Shield/Helmet/Armor/Legs/Boots). You will require a Universal Trait Token or a specific trait token for the equipment set. The trait will be randomly assigned (type of trait and value) and you can only have one trait per equipment.

Third Season of Blacktalon is back September 2nd, 2022 (7pm UTC).

As we said previously, every donation point from season 1 and 2 will be given back. But to not inflate the market and make a better balance to the game, the store, blue diamonds and legacy points will be delivered in a schedule as the following:

Relic Fusion

If you find a particularly valuable relic, you can attempt a fusion which will, in result, improve the base stats of the desired relic if you succeed the procedure. You can access the relic fusion interface by going into the Others menu, at the top of your client, as shown in the image. Upon clicking it, the relic fusion interface will open.

To proceed with the fusion one must place three of the same relic and tier at the upper slots. In the bottom slots you will place up to three reagents that are used to increase your odds of successfully fusing relics, which will be better elaborated below. Reagents are not mandatory for this process, but bear in mind that the success chances are not so good without them. Once everything is in place, make sure you have enough to cover the gold cost, located at the bottom part of the fusion menu and then hit Fusion to start the process. An animation will play and you will then know if you have succeeded or not. If you fail, there is a chance that some of the materials used in the process will return, including relics.

Tower Arena

The tower arena is divided by floors, the next one being more difficult and more rewarding than the previous one. You can start the tower arena at anytime with no entry cost, however, if you want so, you can use a Tower Ticket that will be consumed in order to improve your rewards.

Bestiary

Bestiary is a system that allows players to have more information about a monster, such as how much experience it gives, how much health it has and its orb loot. You can find the bestiary menu through the Others menu, like shown in the image.

Waypoint System

The waypoints are a quality of life system that allows players to fast travel through different locations throughout BlackTalon. From normal locations, such as creature spawns, to specific places, such as the dungeon lobby, tower arena and daily bosses, players can access key places within the click of your mouse.

Spell Improvement

You can upgrade some of your spells and skills to further aid your progression against powerful beings and daring challenges throughout BlackTalon. The spell improvement system provides you with the possibility to make a spell better by increasing its effects.

Smelter

Smelt a variety of equipments and crystals to get gold, resources or lower tiered crystals

Cast

You can now stream your character or watch what other players are doing via our cast system! Could be a challenging quest or a chill time with some fishing., you decide! Use the command !cast to either look for players who are streaming their gameplay or stream one yourself.
