Beta: Staying Above Water

Another major update is almost ready, and the beta phase starts today! Come check it out and test all the new changes.

SPANISH
 

Accessing the Beta

The beta is available now! To access it:
 

• If you're on an Apple device, visit the App Store, look up the "DOFUS Touch Early" app, and download it.
• With Google, you'll need to use this link on your mobile device to access it.

If you are unable to perform the update, please reinstall the application completely.

The beta NPC is available at [-2,0], Astrub Zaap, Incarnam (near the temple exit at [1,3]), and Madrestam Harbour, so you can buy some of the new equipment and resources at bargain prices.

To communicate with all of you, we're once again using the Discord reserved for the beta version of the game. So you can give us your feedback there, or otherwise in this section of the official forum (you may need to log out of the forum and log back in to unlock this section).

There is no need to report the same issues on both Discord and the forum.

No rewards are planned, but you'll have the satisfaction of contributing to the project's development.

No actions performed in this version of the game will have any impact on the classic servers.

Please don't forget that this is a beta version and you might encounter various issues. The point is to correct them before the official update!
 

Change to the Economy

A major change has been made to the game's economy, dealing with resources and equipment. To find out more, please read the devblog about it!
 

Drowning to Come Back Stronger

With this update, the reconstruction of Cania following the disaster caused by Epsilon is complete! This is in addition to many new features, including:
 

• 3 new dungeons (level 120 to 160)
• 3 new sets linked to bosses, as well as two weapons
• 3 new shields from level 135 to 165
• 40 new quests
• 28 new achievements
• a visual overhaul of Eltneg Wood

 

Changes to the Areas of Incarnam and Astrub

Incarnam

The level range for zones in Incarnam has been reduced. The overall zone is now recommended for levels 1 to 35, down from 50.

With regard to the area dungeon, the composition of monster groups has been changed. A room has also been removed. Achievements linked to the dungeon now unlock starting at level 30.

To avoid overwhelming new players with information, monster resources no longer drop off of Gobballs or Tofus. Resources required for quests have been converted into quest items to make sure players can obtain them and to avoid slowing progress at the beginning of the game.

Lairs and their associated sets have been adapted to these changes.
 

Astrub

To ensure a more consistent transition between Incarnam and Astrub, then between Astrub and remaining zones, the composition of certain monsters by area (including the new ones), the level of some of these, along with their associated resources and equipment, have been modified.
 

Change to Giant Kralove's Lair

We felt that the opening system to reach the Giant Kralove boss was not adapted to the format of the game and remained very daunting, especially for more casual players. Not to mention that some players were regularly exploiting this system through dubious means. We would like to thank the players who took the time in organizing groups to open the dungeon, particularly through Discord.

The system has therefore been changed; Giant Kralove's lair will now be accessible automatically, from the 1st through the 7th of each month.

Accessing the dungeon during open times will be done the same way a standard dungeon is accessed, by using a key. However, the bunch of keys (keyring) will not be available for this dungeon.

The level, as well as the experience reward by the Giant Kralove, have been reviewed. It is now a level 180 monster, as shown in the achievement of the dungeon.

Messages will be automatically sent to the maps for each city Zaap, as well as the one for Otomai's Zaap, so that all players will be notified.

The messages will be intended for level 150 and above players. The message will differ depending on whether you have already completed the Otomai Island access quest or not.

A new ceremonial pet may now drop off of the boss: the Yakitako.

A new level-180 shield linked to the Kralove, the Tentacled Shield, has also been added to the game.
 

Ascension Island

 

• A level 148 set is available at the resources tab sold by the merchant NPC, located in the room to the right of the dungeon entrance.
• A level 200 set is available at the resources tab sold by the merchant NPC, located in the room to the right of the dungeon entrance.
• A level 200 shield is available at the resources tab sold by the merchant NPC, located in the room to the right of the dungeon entrance.
• A ceremonial petsmount has been added to the merchant NPC to the right of the entrance to Ascension.
• The calculation of the monster stats sometimes made them stronger than their original version, this issue has been fixed.

 

Balancing Shields

The shield revamp offered last December seems to have been successful and the community has taken full advantage of it. Nevertheless, we noticed a persistent balancing problem as shield passives provided the same bonuses, regardless of the shield's or player's level.

These passives will now be balanced according to level, in the following way:

Shields with the Tenacity passive:
 

• Levels 50 to 79: 1 MP and 7 MP Dodge
• Levels 80 to 109: 1 MP and 9 MP Dodge
• Levels 110 to 139: 1 MP and 11 MP Dodge
• Levels 140 to 169: 1 MP and 13 MP Dodge
• Levels 170 to 200: 1 MP and 15 MP Dodge

Shields with the Stoicism passive:
 

• Levels 50 to 79: 16 Critical Resistance
• Levels 80 to 109: 22 Critical Resistance
• Levels 110 to 139: 28 Critical Resistance
• Levels 140 to 169: 34 Critical Resistance
• Levels 170 to 200: 40 Critical Resistance

Shields with the Speed passive:
 

• Levels 50 to 79: 15 Dodge
• Levels 80 to 109: 20 Dodge
• Levels 110 to 139: 25 Dodge
• Levels 140 to 169: 30 Dodge
• Levels 170 to 200: 35 Dodge

Since the Altruism passive is proportional to HP, it remains unchanged.
