Swordwound
Almost the whole interface has a new look: windows, HUD, login, character screens, tooltips, menus. Clan skills become clan buildings. Some warrior and mage skills use different stats. And a lot of small things work better.
Windows
- Change Every window has its own icon.
- New Buttons and windows now make sounds.
- Change Item Tooltips look the same everywhere.
- Change A greyed-out option in a right-click menu tells you why it is off.
- Change A price you cannot afford is red, in every shop and at every station.
- New Clan & Character level badges added. They change their look as you reach higher tiers.
Clans
Change Clan skills are now clan buildings
Your clan builds four buildings. A clan point starts the next level of a building. Members donate the items and gold it needs. When it is full, the building levels up and the bonus comes.
Building | Old skill | Gives per level | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Treasury | Clan Treasurer | More gold from monsters |
| School | Clan Trainer | More EXP |
| Training Ground | Warmaster | +3 attack, +2 defense |
| Council Hall | Champion Mentor | Clan cape, +1 all stats |
- Each building has 50 levels. Each level needs 2 or 3 kinds of materials plus gold donations.
Clan Tokens: you earn them from clan daily quests and from donating. The more you give, the more you get. They stay with you even if the clan disbands.- If you donate more than needed, the extra comes back to your bag.
- With this update: every clan's building levels went back to 0 and all spent clan points were refunded. Clan capes from the old Council level were removed. You get a cape back as your Council Hall levels up.
Members and ranking
- New Contribution score: how much you do for the clan, from daily quests and donations. The member list shows it. It resets when you leave the clan.
- Change Members are ranked by contribution, then level, then time in the clan. The weekly and all-time rankings are gone.
Clan window
- Change The Buildings tab shows the four buildings. Click one to see what it needs, donate, and see who gave what.
Character window
- Change These windows have been reworked: Character, Skills, Professions, Emotes and All Stats button.
- Change STR, VIT, DEX and INT show your full stat: your points + items + cape + buffs. The part that is not from your points is shown in brackets, like (+8).
- Change The stat tooltip shows what the full stat gives you.
- New All Stats now lists your Accuracy and Evasion against monsters, where they come from, and their maximum.
- New Skill tooltips show the next level: every number that changes is shown as "now → next".
- New Skill tooltips show which stats make the skill stronger, like Boosted by: STR ++++ · VIT + · DEX +. More plus signs, more effect.
- Change Skill slots, quick slots and buff boxes are colored by tier: normal, master, grandmaster, perfect.
- Change
The forbidden skill slot has its own icon and clearer text: "rival school, 50% less power". The unlock level is written as "level 50". The book that teaches it is named. - ChangeInteracting with a Skill teacher now opens up your skill tab
Skill balance
How to read the tables: Attack is your Class Attack. Grade grows with the skill's level; it is explained under the mage table.
Thanks to Jent for the detailed research and analysis behind these stat changes.
Change Warrior skills: Vitality matters more now
Before, the stat part of these skills came mostly from Strength. Now it comes from Vitality. Strength still powers them through your Class Attack, so it stays important, but Vitality now adds a lot more than it did. Cooldowns did not change.
Skill | Before | Now | |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Iron Body (defense buff) | (200 + STRĂ—0.2 + VITĂ—0.5) Ă— Grade | (95 + STRĂ—0.2 + VITĂ—2) Ă— Grade |
 | Spirit Wave | AttackĂ—2.1 + (AttackĂ—4 + STRĂ—3 + VIT) Ă— Grade | AttackĂ—2.1 + (AttackĂ—4 + VITĂ—4) Ă— Grade |
 | Earthbreaker | AttackĂ—2.1 + (AttackĂ—3 + STRĂ—4 + VITĂ—3) Ă— Grade | AttackĂ—2.1 + (AttackĂ—3 + VITĂ—7) Ă— Grade |
 | Spirit Cannon | AttackĂ—2 + (Attack + DEXĂ—3 + STRĂ—5 + VIT) Ă— Grade | AttackĂ—2 + (Attack + DEXĂ—3 + VITĂ—6) Ă— Grade |
 | Ring of Ruin | AttackĂ—2 + (AttackĂ—2 + DEXĂ—2 + VITĂ—2 + STRĂ—4) Ă— Grade | AttackĂ—2 + (AttackĂ—2 + DEXĂ—2 + VITĂ—6) Ă— Grade |
What it means: with a balanced build (STR and VIT equal), the four attack skills do the same damage as before. With high Strength and low Vitality they hit less; Spirit Cannon feels it most. With high Vitality they hit more. Iron Body: the fixed part goes down from 200 to 95, and Vitality counts 4 times more. Low Vitality, much weaker buff. High Vitality, stronger buff. A balanced build gets a little less than before.
Change Mage wind skills: Dexterity counts more, Intelligence a little less
Skill | Stats before | Stats now | |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Storm Field | INTĂ—9 + (INTĂ—5.8 + DEXĂ—2.9) Ă— Grade | INTĂ—7.5 + DEXĂ—3 + (INTĂ—5 + DEXĂ—4.5) Ă— Grade |
 | Wind Orbs (buff) | INTĂ—2 + (INTĂ—0.9 + DEXĂ—0.5) Ă— Grade | INTĂ—1.6 + DEXĂ—0.8 + (INTĂ—0.7 + DEXĂ—0.9) Ă— Grade |
 | Breeze Mend | (INTĂ—1.8 + VITĂ—0.5) Ă— Grade | (INTĂ—1.5 + DEXĂ—0.6 + VITĂ—0.5) Ă— Grade |
 | Gust Wave | INTĂ—3.4 + (INTĂ—3.2 + VITĂ—0.8) Ă— Grade | INTĂ—2.9 + DEXĂ—1 + (INTĂ—2.8 + DEXĂ—0.8 + VITĂ—0.8) Ă— Grade |
What it means: a mage with very high INT and low DEX loses a little. A mage who also raises DEX gains. The Weapon Attack parts did not change.
What Grade means
Every skill formula has a part in brackets, like (AttackĂ—4 + VITĂ—4). Grade is how much of that bracket you get. It depends only on the skill's level, and it is the same table for every skill in the game, warrior or mage. The part outside the brackets does not change with level.
At Normal 1 you get 5% of the bracket. At Perfect 1 you get all of it. At Perfect 10 you get 129%.
Example: Spirit Wave with Attack 300 and VIT 60. Outside the brackets: AttackĂ—2.1 = 630. Inside: AttackĂ—4 + VITĂ—4 = 1440.
At Normal 1: 630 + 1440 Ă— 5% = 702.
At Perfect 1: 630 + 1440 Ă— 100% = 2070.
Find your skill's tier in the top row and its level in the left column. Normal has 15 levels; the other tiers have 10.
Level | Normal | Master | Grandmaster | Perfect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 5% | 34% | 66% | 100% |
2 | 7% | 36% | 69% | 103% |
3 | 9% | 38% | 72% | 106% |
4 | 11% | 40% | 75% | 109% |
5 | 13% | 50% | 80% | 114% |
6 | 15% | 52% | 82% | 116% |
7 | 17% | 55% | 84% | 118% |
8 | 19% | 58% | 87% | 121% |
9 | 20% | 61% | 90% | 124% |
10 | 22% | 63% | 95% | 129% |
11 | 24% | – | – | – |
12 | 26% | – | – | – |
13 | 28% | – | – | – |
14 | 30% | – | – | – |
15 | 32% | – | – | – |
Change Magic Defense: Intelligence and Vitality now count the same
Before, Intelligence counted 3 times more than Vitality. Now they count the same. A warrior with high Vitality gets more magic defense than before; a mage with very high Intelligence gets a little less.
Stat | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
Intelligence | 3 | 2 |
Vitality | 1 | 2 |
