Greetings, Arcadians!

We are eager to share news regarding the upcoming Season 4. Due to fundamental changes in the Prestige development system and the need for thorough verification of all details, we must postpone the launch of the new season.
The planned release is expected in around an extra week. Should there be any changes to the schedule, whether it's an earlier launch or the need for extended development, we will notify the community well in advance.

Below you will find a prototype of the updated quest system.

The complete list of 15 categories (which will be expanded in future seasons) will include:

The new Prestige achievement system will replace the current quests. In the near future, you will be able to progress while enjoying the game - any of your in-game actions will count towards overall progress. For achievements, you will receive various rewards: Prestige experience, Prestige currency, and other valuable in-game items.

FAQ - Prestige Achievement, Season 4:

Q: Will there be any compensation for the delayed season release?

A: The quest balance will be adjusted so that the number of delayed days will be factored into Prestige experience and currency gains. This way, you won't notice any difference in progression speed. Moreover, with the new rewards in this system, your development will be even more enjoyable.

The new season 4 will be released on 01.04.2025.

Current expected changes to the quest system:

1. Complete overhaul of the current quest system
2. More variety and freedom of choice for Prestige advancement
3. No daily limit on quest completion
4. Increased experience, Prestige currency, and other rewards
5. Quest progress is preserved throughout the season
6. Enhanced passive progression system:
   1. Automatic advancement in related quests
   2. After completing all Prestige quests in a region, you'll automatically complete regional quests

Other details will be available on the release date of the system.

Quote from Xanadú

What will happen to some of the Prestige "Boost-Items" ?

There are items to complete green, blue, purple etc. quests, and also items to give more XP or Coins for the quests.

With the new design there seem to be different types of quests, no longer green, blue etc.

Please don't worry. We'll be sure to have everything covered. The value of the items will remain, but will be adapted to the new system.

Thank you for the feedback. We may consider this idea in the future, we have no plans to make such changes at the moment.

Quote from Marcellos

Hello

I propose that, items obtained from prestige (see above) relating to monster cards, could be converted to another type of card. For example, from orange (world bosses) to green (regular mobs).

Greetings

We are planning to implement an item upgrade system that will allow players to enhance lower quality equipment to higher.

However, we would like to clarify that item downgrading (breaking down higher quality items into lower-tier components) is not currently planned in any form and will not affect any type of item. This may change in the future.

Therefore, your suggested mechanic of disenchanting orange items into purple components is not being considered at this time.

The exact timeline for implementing the upgrade system has not yet been determined, but we can say that these changes may be introduced during any future season, without necessarily waiting for the start of a new season.

Thank you for sharing your ideas with us!

Quote from Xanadú

Maybe, if considering, it could be a system where you could "upgrade" these items in arcane transmuter.

e.g. 2 oe 3 purple upgrade items ==> 1 orange upgrade item.

and the opposite way, disenchant an orange item gives 1 or 2 purple upgrade items.

Just an idea..

Greetings,

When I click on this item I get a warning like this on my screen

We will check the bug and if found, it will be fixed along with the new season. Thank you for your feedback.

We are ready to present an earlier description of the changed quest system in Prestige Battle Pass, which is expected on 01.04.2025. We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that it was decided to increase the duration of all the next seasons from 3 to 4 months.

Quote from Zyrex

Elo, this sounds really good, especially for someone like me who hates normal questing! One question about the new system: Do I get this right that it only replaces the original daily quest thingy? So the passive bonuses, such as cheaper crafting costs or the "resurrect with all buffs" on prestige gold still remains?

Yes, we are completely removing the old quests and a new system will take that place.

Quote from Zyrex

The "Monster Hunt" in the Achievement category only contains open world mobs, or also instance bosses? If every single player has to kill low level world bosses, such as Perodia, there will be war in these zones I guess 🥵

Open world + instances. But so far only the mainland of Candara. Other continents will be added in the future.

To ensure a comfortable gaming experience for all participants, we adhere to the following principles when creating quests:

1. General nature of quests: all quests have a universal format, for example:

• "Defeat 10 monsters of any type in zone X".
• "Collect 10 green cards in zone X".

2. Resource availability considerations: we carefully analyze the features of each location:

• In zones with a small number of certain monsters (e.g., elite ones), such quests are either not added.
• Or the completion requirements are made minimal.

3. Alternative completion option: If for any inexplicable reason a player doesn't want to complete quests or feels lazy, they can purchase quest completions at a very low price.

Our goal is to create equal and comfortable conditions for all players, regardless of their gaming style or preferences.

Quote from Zyrex

You listed "Gear Enchanting" as a development path in future updates, wouldn't it also make sense to add instance boss kills in core/nostalgia instances, since endgame players normally don't build much gear when there is no new instance being released? Also, housing might be a little problematic, bcz some of us already have huge houses where no much can be optimized...

In future seasons, the current system will become even better as the available selection expands to hundreds and even thousands of quests. Our goal is to create a system where players can choose 1 of 15 categories, complete it, and reach level 20. While we won't be able to fully implement this in the current Season 4, this is our plan for the future. Therefore, please don't worry about specific quests — all players will have a wide range of choices regarding where to go and what to do.
