Never get lost again! This week the client learned to show you the way, three deepling bosses got fixed times, two new paths opened and we cleaned up the whole world. Here is everything new on OrientWar – every single change is in the Changelog.

The Huntfinder Shows You the Way

Open the Huntfinder in the client's side panel, pick a hunting place and press Guide me: a glowing blue line on your minimap leads you from where you stand to the place. Stairs, ladders, rope spots, holes and teleports are marked, a coin shows every NPC you travel with, and a line above the game screen names the next step, for example "Go downstairs in 12 sqm". Take a different turn and the guide simply finds a new way.

• Ways to 354 of 371 hunting places, from every temple
• Levels and damage for all five vocations – Knight, Paladin, Sorcerer, Druid and Monk
• Best for you puts the places where your spells hit hardest first; today's boosted creature shines gold
• Places behind a quest door or a captain are listed too – the guide tells you what you need

Liquid Black: Bosses With Fixed Times

Jaul

Tanjis

Obujos

The three deepling bosses of the Liquid Black deeps no longer appear around the clock. Each one now has its own weekly window, exactly as the signs at the Deepling base announce. Inside its window a boss returns 30 minutes after every kill, and the server announces when the hunt opens.

New Paths: Bulltaur Lair & Haunted Nexus

The Bulltaur Lair is open! The ominous trashcan in the graveyard cellar of the Plains of Havoc takes you straight into the lair, and the trashcan inside brings you back – no quest needed.

Red Ectoplasm

Green Ectoplasm

Blue Ectoplasm

In the Haunted Nexus of the Dream Courts the dimensional portals work: use red, green or blue ectoplasm next to a portal of its area and you travel to the paired portal. The spectres of each area drop the ectoplasm, one is used per trip, and no quest progress is needed.

A Cleaner World

We went over the whole map tile by tile:

• 494 monster spawns that respawned inside walls, mountains, trees or water now stand on free ground, and 12 spawns left the protection zones of houses
• More than 5,000 kinds of objects that showed only "an item of type …" when you looked at them now have real names
• Unreachable remnants outside the real map are gone
• The boosted creature and boss of the day are chosen only from creatures you can actually find in the world
• Any number of players can now train on the same exercise dummy in a house

The Wiki Got a New Look

Overview pages start with a picture banner, system pages and guides read like articles with item galleries and value cards, and everything fits phones as well as big screens. Creature lists now show only creatures you can hunt; special and quest creatures have their own group. The experience stages start with the first stage that applies to you.

Fixed This Week

• Spectral bolts and diamond arrows no longer expire after an hour – expiring ones in your backpack were replaced with normal ones
• Monsters no longer drop rings in their worn state that run out in your backpack
• The golden idol of Tukh turns into red ectoplasmic residue when it expires, as it should
• Client updates download reliably again

Thank you for every bug report – they make OrientWar better every day. Keep them coming!
