ear Tibians,

welcome to the second part of our ongoing balancing project. This time, our main focus is on the layout of the hunting grounds that are part of the Ferumbras' Ascendant quest.

General adjustments

First of all, we have expanded the fix regarding teleport traps to the remaining spots where trapping was still possible on the Ferumbras' Ascendant hunting grounds.

Additionally, we have implemented numerous map adjustments to these hunting grounds to enhance your hunting effectiveness. Below, we detail the specific modifications made to each of the Ferumbras' Ascendant hunting areas:

Grounds of Deceit

We have connected two cave passages on the first level.

Grounds of Fire

We have added a passage on the first level.

Grounds of Destruction

This was probably one of the most requested proposals regarding map changes. We have added a small corridor on the first level and on the level after the Shatterer has been defeated.

Grounds of Undeath

The ice sensitivity of the blightwalker has been increased.
Our goal with this change is to make the ice element more viable in this hunting ground. This will also affect the Pits of Inferno, the Demon Forge as well as Roshamuul Prison.

We have added a cave passage to the first level and to the level after blood was flowing from the well.

Grounds of Despair

As we wanted the main path of these levels to stay intact, we decided to implement one-way teleporters at the end of the first and second level that allow you to jump back to the starting point of the respective level.

Hell Hub

A staircase has been implemented near the old levitate spot to provide faster access to the hunting grounds and to make hunting more efficient.

As always, we will closely monitor the impact that these changes will have on the hunting efficiency and hope that they will improve your overall gaming experience.

Coming next

On a final note, we would like to give you a sneak peek for the upcoming changes next week. We are currently preparing modifications for the following hunting grounds:

• Yalahar Cemetery Quarter
• Yalahar Sunken Quarter
• Medusa Tower
• Okolnir
• Bounacean Lion
• Monster Graveyard

We are thankful for your suggestions so far and look forward to further constructive discussions on the thread to this news article.

Happy Hunting,
Shazaya and Ilyndor
