"War Channel, Champion Emblem, Bound Rewards & Enhancement Rules"
Ether Online — Patch Notes
Territorial War — The War Channel
The Territorial War now has its own channel. Every guild fights on the same battlefield, whichever channel they come from.
Two ways in — pick Territorial War in the minimap channel list, or press Join War in the Guild window
Territorial War and Watch the War rows — appear in the channel list when the war starts and disappear when it ends
Works in a party — the war rows stay usable while you are in a party (switching to a numbered channel is still locked)
Back to your own channel — when the war ends, when you die holding no town, or when you stop watching, you return to Asgard on the channel you came from
Watch from anywhere — spectate the war from any channel, and you no longer need a guild to watch
War capacity — limits on fighters per war, per battleground and on spectators keep the war smooth. If it is full, you will be told and can try another town
Clearer announcements — the countdown and the opening announcement now tell you how to enter
The minimap shows War while you are on a battleground
Territorial War — The Champion Emblem
The guild that wins the Territorial War now wears it for everyone to see.
Champion emblem — an animated red crest above the name of every member of the winning guild
Appears instantly — the moment the war is decided, no relog needed
Changes hands with the crown — when another guild wins, the crest moves to them
AFK and Busy icons sit above the crest, so both stay visible
Territorial War — Gate Fix
A way to skip Elder's Retreat's gate rules has been closed.
Elder's Retreat gate — only the guild that owns Elder's Retreat can enter through it. A modified client could get around this and appear beside the gate; that no longer works, and every attempt is recorded
Elder's Retreat Ether Gates — unchanged. The three Ether Gates are still the way in for guilds that hold no town yet, so a guild without territory arriving there is using its proper road in, not a bug
Guilds that already hold an outer town still enter through their own town's gate
Joining the fight still requires a guild and the usual level requirement.
Party Members on the Minimap
Your party now stays on your minimap wherever they are on the map, not just when they are close by.
Party members show as green dots on the minimap anywhere on the same map, even far out of sight
Dots update about once a second while they are far away, and move smoothly again once they come into view
Members on a different map are not shown, since the minimap only shows the map you are on
Bound Rewards
Some starter rewards are now bound to the character that earns them.
Recovery of Sprite quest — now rewards Accelerator [Bound]
Early quests (up to level 20) — now reward Ether Stone [Bound] and Enhancement Stone [Bound]
Level 10 reward package — now contains Goddess Statue of Resurrection [Bound]
Bound items work exactly like the normal versions, but cannot be traded, mailed, sold on the auction house or moved to another character. Items you already own are not affected.
Ether Stone [Bound] can be used everywhere a normal Ether Stone can — soul hatching at Kitty, soul card growth, soul card evolution and crafting. When you have both kinds, bound Ether Stones are used first.
Equipment Sealing Cost Reduced
Re-sealing equipment now costs only 1 Equipment Sealing Stone.
Every piece of equipment now costs 1 stone to seal, whatever its grade, level or enchant level
Before, the cost went up with grade and level, up to 17 stones for high-grade level 60 gear
The 3 re-seal limit per item has not changed
Enhancement & Daily Rewards
We've made changes to keep enhancement and the Daily Login rewards fair for everyone.
Protection Stones — can now only be used on bound items. To use a Protection Stone, equip the item once to bind it first. Enhancing sealed items without a Protection Stone still works as before.
Fair play — accounts found abusing the Daily Login rewards have been penalized. Rewards are meant for your own characters; creating extra accounts or characters to farm them is not allowed.
If you spot anything unfair or think you were affected by mistake, please open a ticket. Thank you to everyone who reported issues.
How to Update: relaunch through the launcher to get the latest files. The Enhancement & Daily Rewards changes are server-side and already live, no patch needed.
