[h3]Implementation of Guild Quests, Benefits, and Guild Ranks[/h3] What was merely a placeholder for guilds in the alpha has now been implemented. You can also change magic domains. Currently, the highest achievable rank is Journeyman, similar to the guild perks in Elona. As higher ranks are unlocked, you will see more powerful services like acquiring class feats. [h3]Addition of Numerous Random Quests and Balance Adjustments[/h3] A large number of random quests have been added, including familiar Elona quests like performances and harvesting, as well as cooking and procurement quests. The new "Bulk Order" quests allow for the delivery of dozens of materials or junk items at once, providing ample rewards and serving as a way to dispose of surplus resources. [h3]Dungeon Enhancement and Implementation of Shrines[/h3] Shrines that grant various effects have been randomly placed in dungeons. More powerful than shrines, statues have also been added, bringing new dynamics to exploring Nefia. Additionally, visual enhancements such as vines and moss have been made to improve the dungeon atmosphere. [h3]Addition of Vehicles[/h3] [previewyoutube=KNH_X_Z5GO4;full][/previewyoutube] Minecarts can now travel on tracks, and many new types of vehicles and track types have been added. In user maps, they be also used to create viewing courses among other uses. Numerous other revisions, adjustments, and refinements that were not addressed at the alpha stage have been made. We will continue development for the pre-beta in May and plan to start the beta in June. The beta will essentially rename the current Elin alpha playtest to beta playtest, allowing alpha players to transition seamlessly into the beta without any additional actions. New participants joining from the beta will receive their keys around late May to early June. Please look forward to the next development update.
