Runes of Magic: Patch 2.1.3 and new mounts!

http://www.runesofmagic.com/en/index.html

Yesterday patch 2.1.3 was announced, along with 2 new mounts. I've waited with posting this news because the patch went live today, so now I can have a look at the patch notes to give you some more info.

New mounts

On the Runes of Magic (RoM) website there's currently a contest to win one of the new mounts: the Bladed Snake-Necked Dragon and the Furious Mammoth. The contest will run untill 20 November and the mounts are supposed to be released in the item shop 'soon'. Personally I think the new mounts look awesome (especially the Dragon) but see for yourself on these pics I found on the RoM-Wiki. I sure hope these mounts will permanently stay in the item shop after they're released, as I don't have nearly enough money to buy the required diamonds at the moment.

Patch 2.1.3

First of all, the new instance I talked about a while ago ( the Lair of the Demon Dragon ) is now completed and implemented in the game. Speaking of instances, some of the ones that existed already before the update now gained new weapon drops (Forsaken Abbey, Necropolis of Mirror, Mystic Altar and Ice Dwarf Kingdom). So all of you raiders out there will be busy for some time.

Next is the addition of new elven elite skills for the levels 25 and 30 (since the elven expansion is still fairly new, elf players only had 2 elites so far - and they receive new ones occasionally along with content updates). I don't know the effects of the new skills yet, so be sure to keep an eye on either the RoM Forums or the RoM Wiki to find out what they do.

Last, there's an update on crafting. The userface has been made more user-friendly, with options to sort recipes (simular to the options you get in the Auction House). More important, you can now craft recipes without level restriction, having a higher crafting level now gives you more chance of making items with a higher rarity. Oh, and did I mention that you now need 30% less experience to gain crafting levels?

These were the most important changes the patch brought, to read to full patch notes visit the RoM forums:

If you have any info about the new rewards for the instances or the new elites, please share it with us. Be sure to check in tomorrow when I post our 'review' of Runes of Magic.

Runes of Magic: New instance announced!

http://www.runesofmagic.com/en/index.html

Yesterday Runes of Magic (RoM) saw the announcement of a new 12-player instance: the Lair of the Demon Dragon. This instance will require you to venture deep into the Aotulia Volcano area to stop the Naga from using a captured, demon-possessed Flame Dragon called Gestero to suppress the free people.

To even reach Gestero seems to be quite the challenge on itself, let alone defeat him. On your way to the Demon Dragon you’ll be facing waves of heavily armed elite Naga soldiers who guard the magic seal that has to be broken in order to fight Gestero. As if elite Naga soldiers aren’t enough to handle, the Naga also sent in one of their generals to stop you from reaching the Demon Dragon.

As with most announcements the details aren’t known yet, but I think it’s safe to say that the Lair of the Demon Dragon will require you to have a rather high level in the game. The Dragon will probably drop loads of nice items and I’m guessing the Naga general will do so as well.

To all you Runes of Magic players out there: happy raiding!
