Highlights

Live Event: Wild Hunt

Every year Orion's rebirth in the Wood Elf realm of Athel Loren marks the start of Spring. With Orion's rebirth the Wild Hunt begins, as elves across Athel Loren join the King in the Woods in riding forth and purging the forest of its enemies. This is all done as an offering to the elven God of the Hunt, Kurnous. Enemies of Kurnous beware, for you may become an offering during the Wild Hunt.

Travel to Ellyrion, the kingdom beloved by Kurnous, and find the Vale Vines to his inner sanctum, the Hunter's Vale. During the Wild Hunt, some may be lucky enough to catch sight of the White Stag as it wanders along the southern coast and ranges of Ulthuan. Join the Wild Hunt in honour of Kurnous and prove to the Lord of the Hunt if you are worthy of being a hunter, or the prey.

This event will run between noon March 17th and noon March 27th Altdorf (Server) time.

We would like to thank our artists for their continued contributions to RoR. Thanks to their efforts we were able to introduce a new magus disc designed around the live event theme, a new Stag of Isha mount along with its saddle, a newly textured trophy for Order (based on an untextured asset), a new cloak, and new icons.

Dungeon: Hunter's Vale

The time of year has come when all the young hunters of Ulthuan travel to the Annulii Mountains to prove their worth in the eyes of Kurnous, the Lord of the Hunt. As the High Elves prepare to slay mighty beasts in offering to Kurnous, the Dark Elves begin their own hunt. The druchii do so not to please Kurnous, but to show who reigns as the top predator in Ulthuan.

In response to player feedback, the RoR team wanted to use the Wild Hunt as an opportunity to give a slight update to the Hunter's Vale dungeon, or rather the Vale-Walker set in particular.

- Vale-Walker Gear can now be acquired in 4 runs of the Dungeon, instead of the previous 7-step timed quest. If you have the old quest chain, please abandon it and take the new quests.

- Vale-Walker Gear quests are now repeatable, just in case you destroy or lose your existing pieces. Quests are located outside the dungeon entrance.

- Vale-Walker Gear has had stats and set bonuses improved for a number of classes. Click Spoiler tag for more details:

- Tank sets have had Block changed into Parry/Dodge/Disrupt on pieces, and Block changed into Parry on the Set Bonus
- Tank gloves have slightly less stats than before, Tank belt has +2 toughness (balanced these with the other classes)
- Tank 7-piece armor shred has increased (Note: We might adjust this armor shred value down a bit, it's pretty high)

- MDPS has had the Parry Stikethrough changed into Melee Crit
- MDPS and WP/DoK 7-piece bonus is now: On Defense, 25% chance to increase parry, dodge, disrupt by 10% for 10s

- RDPS has had the Dodge strikethrough changed into Ranged Crit

- Magic RDPS 6-piece bonus is now: On Hit: 25% chance to reduce targets Willpower by 118 while increasing your Intelligence by 118 for 10s

- All: The HP regen on the ring has been removed, the ring now has 1% crit reduction for all classes, and the ring can now be placed into any slot

- The Vale-Walker accessory item no longer has HP Regen, but it can now be placed in any accessory slot, and has no restriction.
