We have overhauled how the Training Grounds functions within the Lost Grove. Instead of being time based, all active bonuses are now enemy-count based. Meaning, when you activate a bonus, it is good for a specific amount of battles against that enemy type.

Additionally, we lumped together some categories to make it easier for players to utilize these bonuses. For example, there is now just a singular category for Nightfall Bandits instead of each type of bandit having its own category.

Furthermore, we added a new category (Mega-Bosses and Bosses) and spliced the Elites and Named category into separate categories. The new Category is for Behemoth type enemies and the upcoming Dungeon Bosses.

The cost for these bonuses were also adjusted accordingly for this update based on balancing criteria that we used behind the scenes.

Lastly, some of the active bonuses were nerfed a bit. As we are gearing up for the release of the final section and increasing the Level Cap to 75, the active bonuses were just way too overpowered for things such as Accuracy, Critical Hit Chance, and Avoidance. These were nerfed to make Level 75 content much more balanced.

In similar news, we changed how modifiers are calculated for Level 71+ Pets and Enemies. This will unfortunately make battling current Elites/Named that are Level 71+ a bit more difficult. Fortunately, this will be relatively temporary as the Level Cap being raised to 75 will more than balance this out. There is no plan to have enemies within The Untamed Forest, nor within The Forgotten Caverns, increase in level any further.

Next on the agenda for us is to overhaul the Level 75 Abilities for Pets. At this time, I do not feel that they are well balanced nor very interesting to use. Once these Abilities are updated (probably within a couple days), we should be on track to make an announcement regarding the schedule for the Lost Grove to initiate the next stage.

ty krin. i cant wait for the new update to go live

Thanks for the update, looking forward to more information ^^

i have had too much caffeine and am looking forward to this update!! can't wait to see the final LG section :D

Super excited!!!! Thanks Krin!

Thank you for all the hard work. I'm so excited to see the last section.

oh I loved these.

I never used the training grounds (when I remembered) because they were time based. It meant if it took me too long to get to a particular place, or I got called away, they were useless. Now, I am more likely to actually use them!

I am also relieved to hear that the untamed forest and forgotten caverns enemies won't be leveling further. That is one thing I was afraid of (I am looking forward to having a level 75 pet teach those stupid mushrooms a lesson :P)

Looking forward to all the updates.

I didn't mind the time thing, but the change sounds interesting. Back to studying!

I'm so excited! I have a question though: What will happen to all of the EXP that we've collected on our level 70 pets? Will they level up automatically, or will they lose all of the extra EXP?

Thanks for everything that you put into this game :)

ok thanks
