There will be no crazy Monday, however, today and tomorrow we will conduct a small open beta testing of the new alchemy. All characters of 360 level and more who will be in the game will receive several potions of new alchemy for a day, which, after a day, will be disabled. Players who find bugs and write about them on the forum will be rewarded with palladium (count at the discretion of the administration). In the future, after correcting the errors found, such potions will be added for palladium.

Potions distribution time will be on May 26 at 18:00 and at 23:00 server time, on May 27 - after restart at 12:15 at 19:00.
Potions stop working May 28 after restart.

• High Tier Magical Scanner is an analogue of a Magical Scanner, but acts even on players hidden by the Magical Cloud Sphere.
• Potion of Solitude - when used in combat, instantly turns on the solo mode. Cannot be used by dwarves in quest zones (including Antique China)
• Cloaking Device - the character under the effect of the potion is not visible on the mirrors
• Isolation Sphere - the user cannot be seen by other players compasses while under this effect, but the character cannot teleport

Today we got all the permissions and want to make an announcement: DarkSwords will be on Steam on June 21, 2019. We look forward to this platform and we really need your help. Add the game to the "wish list" before the release and then install the game client from Steam. It is very important for us. We will also be extremely grateful for the positive feedback about the game. Thank you in advance.

Sometimes on Mondays we will change some game rules just for one day, that will make world absolutely insane. Try to get a new gaming experience from the DS.

May 20, 2019 after the server reboot, the day of sports walking begins. For a day we will turn off all teleports and mass teleports, as well as the call of heart, returns to beacon, road home. Sport is health! :)

• The use of a Mask to change your religion will be followed by a message that will be broadcasted to all in the same location.
• There was a change to a mechanics of "Disarm skill". The weapon of the character, that was target of the Disarm skill, will no longer end up in its inventory, but will receive a "Disarmed" effect instead. This effect will neutralize all parameters given by the weapon (same as Broken Shield effect).
• Finally Tharassos Technologists were able to bring the work of Extractors up to health and safety standards. Now the explosion of the essence will not harm the character.
• The work of Backstab skill was fixed.
• Item modifications "Spring" and "Mystic" will add to maximum amount of Life and Mana (half of the amount that would be granted from wonderful effects of Life and Sorcery) in addition to its regeneration.
• The reward for a Wanted Dead Quest - the bag with herbs will contain 150 pieces of it instead of 50.
• If the target has a Mana Shield the calculation of the damage from Deep Wounds takes also the current mana amount of the victim in to the account.
• The level of Heroic Shield is hidden from outsiders.
• If a clan will apply for a siege on a territory of the clan, that they had a "Capitulation", "Truce" or "War end" status with, it will immediately change to "War".

• Tag like # 1998 in the chat paves the route to the specified point;
• Added new smilies;

• Now if a character is not engaged in any battles the passive ability "Heroic Shield" is triggered. This shield absorbs some of the damage taken by your character, so the effect is similar to Layered Defense. The power of this ability depends on your character's combat level.
