01 October 2023 (02:12) by Shaolin - Halloween is here!

Halloween arrived on BlackTalon and some new functionalities came with it! For starters, there will be a chance that a rare or above elite creature, instead of having a normal appearance, will have a pumpkin monster appearance! Upon slaying this pumpkin monster you will be rewarded with Halloween Points and also help on the global count to spawn Stingy Jack, a world wide Halloween boss.


The player can obtain, on a daily basis, a maximum of 500 halloween points, with the possibility of doubling this maximum cap to 1000 upon using the Scary Scroll, that can be obtained through spending halloween tokens (more about that later). This scroll lasts for a total of 7 days and, aside raising the maximum cap of points you can obtain, it will also double the amount of points you get upon slaying the rare and above pumpkin elite monster!

We also added a new special orb (Halloween Orb), that can grant you with Candies and Bars of Chocolate. 

Upon using those, you will be rewarded with Halloween Points, which are NOT part of your daily cap! The auto-orb system will NOT work for this special orb. There's also a command: !halloween, that is used to check your points and the current progress until Stingy Jack's arrival.

Halloween Points are the main currency of this event that you can exchange for special Halloween cosmetics, so grind out!

Halloween Promotion:
● During the event we will be giving Halloween Tokens in all packages. They can be traded to stuffs such as:
 ↳ Blue diamond
 ↳ Scary Scroll
 ↳ Halloween Chocolates/Candies

The promotion is already running and the event ingame will start at server save!

The event will last until 31rd of Octobe

01 September 2023 (17:14) by Shaolin - Season 6 update!


Chaos Unleashed

Chaos is affecting the whole world of Blacktalon, birthing chaos corrupted creatures and raid bosses. Be aware that they are stronger versions of the normal mobs (can stack with elites) and can carry challenging modifiers. Corrupted monsters will reward you with increased experience and loot.


   


Modifiers


Creatures (monsters and players) can carry chaos modifiers which have various effects, some examples of them are:



The modifiers have different values for players, you can check them using your compass

Chaos Compass




Every day, two respawns of every continent (some continents are divided by 2 parts) will be corrupted by the chaos. Making so every time a monster respawn it will have a chance to become corrupted. Every time you kill a corrupted monster from that, you will receive 1 chaos essence. Depending on the continent, you will have a limit of how much you can collect.
For example: In mainland lower you can only collect up to 200 essences daily, but in mainland high you can collect up to 400. Reaching the limit in a lower level area does not block you to obtain essences from a higher area

You can check your current limit and the monsters corrupted with your Chaos Compass



Dungeons


Corrupted dungeons will spawn chaos monsters of the level you selected on your compass. It will give increased experience and by killing the boss you will gain some chaos essence.
There is a daily limit of 6 dungeons that rewards chaos essence. You can still do more than 6 corrupted dungeons daily for increased challenge and experience


Hunting Grounds


As dungeons, it will also spawn chaos monsters of the level you selected on your compass, increasing their experience but also orb chance (and boss drop). You gain Chaos Essence by defeating the boss.

The daily limit for reward is 3 hunting grounds


Tower Arena


Same as other systems, it will spawn chaos monsters of the selected level in your compass, but it will not increase experience and monsters loot, since they don’t give it. Instead it will increase floor loot drop. You gain Chaos Essence after exiting the tower depending on the amount of floors you have completed.

The daily limit for reward is 2 towers (it will count only up to 2 tickets)



Soul Scrolls


You can spend a good amount of chaos essence to corrupt a soul scroll of your preference. It will make them give double the amount of bonus and a random modifier for your character. You can only equip up to 3 corrupted soul scrolls at once



Consume/Extract



Continent Boss


Continent Bosses are a long dated system in BlackTalon, but due to some issues with it, we decided to do a little rework to make them more accessible to most players. Before, Continent Bosses were only summonable by sacrificing crystal fragments that corresponded to that continent’s boss. Now, all Continent Bosses will automatically spawn in fixed spawn times instead, without the need for players to actively summon it. The previous crystal fragments that were used to summon these, will now grant a personal bonus loot for that boss, keeping in mind that the crystal type will still need to be matched for its corresponding boss. 



Special Furniture


Our furniture system was very lackluster and was in clear need for a rework. Before, each furniture had a few options to choose from, some of them were useless, and needed to be recharged with a toolbox every now and then. Now, furniture is divided into two types: Normal and Premium. 



How they work now:

  • They will give only one bonus (the owner will choose which one)

  • The owner can use it anytime they want (respecting the cooldowns)

  • Others players can use, but the furniture will consume charge by that, which can be recharged with toolboxes

  • Existing toolboxes will no longer work anymore and a new one will be added to BD shop and rare boss drop, exclusively


Normal furniture will have a fixed cooldown of 22 hours regardless of the buff type, and extra copies of the same furniture will not be usable in case you used one before.



Premium furniture has a varied cooldown per buff type and is not limited by the extra copy rule, meaning that you can gather more than one of the same furniture if you wish and still obtain the buff it provides. The buff list was greatly increased and toolboxes are no longer necessary.



Equipment Bag


Equipment bags are now no longer stackable and now have rarities attached to them, which will be dependant on which rarity elite creature it was obtained from. Starting from strange rarity, it will only show 1 item available to grab, up to 5 items at mythic rarity. You can also upgrade the bag's rarity, but it will have an additional Blue Diamond cost to its normal fee.



Currency Storage


We now have a bank interface to deposit common currencies. It can be accessed from anywhere from the Others menu and supports a variety of currencies to be stored, such as gold, blacktalon coins, rarity tokens

and event tokens. 



Supply Stash


Our supply stash also got some love in this update. It is now more responsive and quick, with filters to ease navigation in it. You can now also blacklist a few items from being stowed, if you wish to do so. And lastly, the amount of stacks for each item has been increased. Also, the scroll effect is now permanent, therefore it was removed from the blacktalon coin shop and added to the blue diamond shop



Death Recap


This is a new feature that allows you to see more detailed information about your death. Things like date and hour, which and how many monsters or players you died to and experience loss are available to be seen. You can also see other player's informations if you wish so.

01 September 2022 (21:50) by Shaolin - Season 3 Changes!

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.

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