Villagers and Heroes fans have been awaiting the first chunk of the Crux patch since its tease earlier this month, and now it’s finally here – barring a few small delays. We should clarify: It’s finally here for subscribers on all platforms as of last night.
“As a thank you to our subscribers, Part One of our long awaited expansion, The Crux, is now available to them!” Mad Otter announced. “Ardent Society members can enjoy special access into the mysterious realm of Queen Zoria whose tyranny and madness is cruelly felt by the unique race of insect creatures who dwell in this wondrous land, and need the help of intrepid heroes. All new story quests, adventures, sights, and more await in this exciting patch which also comes with a level cap raise, new gear recipes, mounts, and a slew of other game improvements. The Seven Realms just got a little bigger! Please speak with the NPC in the Zorian Marshlands named Rikey if you have completed the quest, Marshland Reclamation, and are an Ardent Society member to access The Crux.”
If you’re not a subber, the new content launches on October 28th; the team previously explained the goal here is chiefly to avoid a bottleneck for the new content.
As for the update, it includes the Northwest and Southwest Crux zones, a level cap bump to 97, new monsters, new endgame crafting recipes and mats, a new currency, and a laundry list of bug fixes and quality-of-life additions. Happy patch day!
We are patching the game servers with The Crux Part 1 right now!
