Under Construction
This content update is under construction and not yet available. Please refer to Patch A.1.0 for the latest large content update and smaller A.1.1+ updates for other adjustments made so far.
New Client
With this update, we are going to need everyone to re-download the client again as this update provides a palette fix and some adjustments to the movement delay that should make movement on Alfheim much smoother overall. Additionally this new client will have some adjustments ready to go for the Expanded Rework which is finally soon (tm)

Something Else
Horror Toy Factory
This content update brings back an event content we had on launch way back in december of 2021. Only this time, it's here to stay permanently! But with it comes an adjustment to the way we've been doing new content. This time you'll find a mix of play of solo and party play like normal, but all items will be obtainable purely as a solo play if you so wish. You'll have to grind a little more and collect some other items like you did for the Niflheim items, but the idea here is to enable players to achieve their goals without relying on having to find a party to do so. This includes MVP items as well as all gear drops that drop from mobs that are found only on the 4th floor.
Winter Event Costumes
For the next couple months until spring comes, due to popular demand I'm bringing back the winter event costumes to be obtainable through an "event". Since I don't have time to quite do a proper event with currency from silvervine or bounties, I'm instead allowing players to simply farm a costume egg that includes all the winter costumes at random.
Both the 3rd and the 4th floor contain the costume egg so you'll be able to farm them both ways. Celine Kimi even drops it at 100% chance so if you can join a party for her you'll always get one!
This costume egg includes ALL of the costumes from our winter events.
How to get to Horror Toy Factory (TF3)
Since Horror Toy Factory in renewal was normally an instance with a proper story, we've had to make some very minor adjustments to the xmas_dun02 or toy factory 2 map. In the top right, you'll now find an open doorway and path with a portal to the 3rd floor.
The 3rd floor is not aimed at super end game players, but is not aimed for brand spankin newbies either. It should be somewhere inbetween, but with our current power levels it should be no problem for any established Alfheim veteran.
4th Floor
Once you reach the 3rd floor of Horror Toy Factory you can work your way to the bottom left of the map and find another modified entrance and portal that will take you to the 4th floor. The 4th floor looks identical to the 3rd but the monsters here are much stronger. They should be much easier than previous party based maps like Niflheim Dungeon or the more recent Old Glast Heim, but they're quite bulkier and intended to be taken down by a diverse (hint hint) group of players.
Due to the difficulty being toned down compared to other content, we're expecting potentially some players to attempt and successfully solo the 4th floor, which we're ok with! Here you'll also find the MVP instance of Celine Kimi, we recommend not trying to take her on alone.
Individual Loot and Party Changes
For a long time now, individual loot maps have been a big plus to partying on alfheim, but over time players have adapted and began to run parties where leeching is the primary meta. While we're not entirely against leeching as an option, it should never be the meta or most viable strategy for leveling as it results in people basically not playing the game. These changes below are aimed at hurting leech style parties as a dominant strategy for gaining loot at the very least. Leeching for EXP will still be viable, but now people will be less encouraged to run out of party characters and then fill them with leechers.
1.) Individual Loot on maps that have it only functions when no party member on the map has a secondary client on the map. This means even if you have a character out of party but on the map, no one in the party gets individual loot because of it.
2.) Individual Loot will no longer roll for the party if the last attack/hit by the mob was on someone not in the party. This means your tank must be in the party now when the mobs are killed.
3.) Performer Songs no longer work out of party on individual loot maps specifically. They will still function the same everywhere else.
4.) Tapping EXP Bonus only applies if you are within 20 cell range of the mob when it dies.
