We have released some major updates over the past couple of weeks regarding Sylestia's end game content! Firstly, we have progressed the Lost Grove to the final Stage of progression and raised the Level Cap for all Pets to Level 75. This allows Pets to finally unlock their last Ability, the last rank of Ability Expertise, and their final Proficiency Point!

The progression of the Lost Grove also unlocks the next Mega-Boss battle: the Crystalline Behemoth! Players will have to best this epic and challenging encounter in order to gain access to the Lost Grove's final area, the Ancient Temple.



Speaking of, the Ancient Temple is now also unlocked and ready to be explored! The Ancient Temple offers a brand new exploration experience that we are testing for future implementation throughout all of our exploration content. Instead of a static map that players endlessly explore, we instead built a system that produces a procedurally generated dungeon map with every new instance. This allows players a fresher experience each time they dive into the Ancient Temple. Since this is a brand new feature, we plan on expanding its capabilities over time with more and more dynamic content.



For now, players have access to tons of new content, new challenges to overcome, new loot to collect, new Themed Pets to find, and so much more! Be sure to check out the full announcement threads below for full details.

Over the past 6-12 months, we have been working on redoing basically every single Hair for our Avatar system. In total, we currently have 153 different Hairs. As you can imagine, it took quite a lot of time to complete this project. But alas, we have completed it and everything is now live and in game!


Here is a short list of all changes:

-Redid all linearts to make sure every Hair looked of the same style.

-Redid all shading and highlights to improve their look and to make sure every Hair looked of the same style.

-Redid layering for all applicable Hairs to improve layering with other Styles (such as Ears and Beards), and items.

-Hairs with accessory items now all have the ability to have those accessories colored.

-Hairs #58-62 are now all unique.

In other news, we are working hard to wrap up the final section of the Lost Grove. We will be making an announcement this week with lots of new details, so be sure to keep an eye out for that!

We are having a special Labor Day Sale Event now through Sunday, September 12th! In addition to Diamonds and many Diamond Shop items being on sale, we are also doing a special Progressive Bonus Event! For every so many Diamonds that you spend, you can earn up to 4 special bonus rewards.

One of the rewards is the lovely [Vytrius, Prince of Bargains]!

For players who gain enough points to earn the final reward tier, they can receive their very own custom colored version of Vytrius!

In other related news, we have made some relatively significant changes to our Avatars. We have spliced the "Back" slot into 4 total slots: Cloak, Accessory, Tail, and Aspect. Vytrius, for example, is an Aspect Item. This change should allow players a lot more customization options when designing their Avatars.
