If you have any feedback regarding the changes or want to suggest some last minute adjustments, please voice your opinion on our Discord server.

Rebirth System

Due to popular player demand, we are re-introducing the Rebirth system on Cyntara.

The Rebirth system previously required players the finish the Alternate Fate quest at level 1200 for each Rebirth level.
We are now changing the system to require the completion of a different Rebirth quest for each Rebirth (Rebirth 3 will be maximum Rebirth Level available on v18 launch):

• Rebirth 1: an Alternate Fate (Level 1200)
• Rebirth 2: Kismet Lands (Level 1700)
• Rebirth 3: Spectral Rebirth (Level 2000)

Rebirth provides the following perks:

• +5% Damage Increase per Rebirth
• +3% Damage Reduction per Rebirth
• +2% Maximum Resistances per Rebirth
• +20 Magic Level/Skill cap increase for item bonuses
• The first Rebirth additionally augments all Artifact spells with new effects.

Additionally the Rebirth system introduces two types of Experience Rate penalty:

• Players that over-level the level required for their next available Rebirth will receive a 0.5x overall Experience Rate penalty.
• Players will receive a 0.07x overall Experience Rate penalty per each Rebirth level.

Artifact Forge

Cyntara v18 introduces a new way to change the secondary stats of your Artifact Weapon.
Previously, we added a half-measure feature to allow transferring Corruption from non-artifact weapons, we are now removing this feature in favor of the Artifact Forge.
Players will be able to earn new tokens used in the Artifact Forge from World Bosses and the Weekly Quest, allowing to forge multiple versions of the Artifact Weapon with multiple different sets of stats.
Players will then be able to either select an upgrade or keep their current weapon.
Additionally, the available weapon stats in the Artifact Forge will scale with the Artifact Level, allowing players to keep coming back to the Forge to create potential upgrades.

Nemesis Changes

• Added Nemesis Merchant - players will now have a rare chance to spawn the Nemesis Merchant that will offer a selection of Nemesis items in exchange for Monster Essences.
• Fixed an issue that caused Nemesis items to have a rare chance to roll a significantly higher number of initial bonus stats than intended.
• Nemesis items can no longer drop from Daily Quests and Cursed Chests - we want the items to be more exclusive to the Nemesis system.
• Reduced the stat values on all Nemesis Amulet and Ring bases.
• High level Nemesis shields can now roll +1% Maximum Resistance stats.
• Nemesis stat that previously piggybacked off the Enchanting system for stats now use proper respective stats.

Cyntara v18 introduces Fenrir, the werewolf, as a new world boss. Make your way to the Werewolves and show what you're made of.

Cyntara Mansion

Cyntara v18 introduces a new mansion located North-West of the main Temple area.
The mansion contains QoL things such as depot, training tiles, potion levers, the Reward Chest and such.

The Activity Score points can be earned for the following activities:

• Level 600+ Daily Quests: 1 Point
• Endgame Raid Bosses: 3 Points

• Added Ornate Backpack - a new 200 slot donor backpack.

• Fixed an issue where re-rolling Item Rewards from Void Realms could roll Nemesis items and re-rolling Nemesis Item Rewards from Dungeons could roll Cursed Charms.

• Reduced the maximum movement speed of players to 75% (soft cap) and 80% (hard cap).
• Renamed Winged Boots to Skywalkers, the name conflicted with paladin donor boots with the same name.
• Adjusted the monster stat dampening system. Previously Stat Dampening would lower the health and damage of all Quest Monsters and Quest Bosses based on the season age when these monsters spawns, this approach had two issues: The repeatable content such as Daily Quests was getting further trivialized for players that are vastly over-leveling quests and by the time players reached high level content, the dampening could already kick in, meaning the high level content was not on the intended balance level. The new system has the following changes:
  
  • The damage increases and reductions now apply on a per-player basis instead of a per-monster basis.
  • The system now only works for Quest Monsters and Quest Bosses up to level 1000.

    • Volcanic Fissure (Sorcerer): Summons fissures that periodically erupt and deals Fire Damage in the path towards the targets, exploding upon reaching the target
    • Grasping Vines (Druid): Summons vines that periodically lash out and deals Earth Damage in the path towards the targets, exploding upon reaching the target.
    • Homing Arrow (Paladin): Periodically shoots arrows that deal Holy Damage in the path towards the targets, exploding upon reaching the target.
    • Earthshatter (Knight): Summons a boulder that periodically crashes down and deals Physical Damage in the path towards the targets, exploding upon reaching the target.
• Updated the first player Milestone announcements, in addition to players to first level 100 and every 100th after, the system now also tracks:
  
  • First players to reach skill level 100 and every 10th after.
  • First players to win each of the Automated Events.
  • Each team of players to finish a Talisman Dungeon Level 5 and every 5th after.

• Config files, hotkeys, and minimap are now automatically backed up in C:/Users/<username>/Cyntara/backup which allows for manual restoration of these files if they get lost due to a client crash or glitch.
• Improved the performance of the auto screenshot functionality; triggering multiple screenshots at once should no longer freeze the client.
• Added text search filter to the Inspect window.
