Dear friends,

We are pleased to present you an important update for the merged server MasterWork Season 5.

In this update, we once again simplify the development for beginners and make the gameplay interesting and motivating for players of any level — from cyber-athletes to those who are taking their first steps in the game. Beginners will be able to reach level 80 faster thanks to simplified leveling, and for experienced players, an improvement system becomes available that allows you to feel the real growth of the character. More details in the previous patch notes.

We are creating a balance between PvP and PvE: various spots and author's improvements provide space for development, and competition at spots adds social dynamics and excitement. Two new levels are immediately available — 81st and 82nd. They open up new opportunities: improving key skills, enchanting weapons and skills to high values, as well as access to unique mechanics that strengthen characters and add depth to the game.

In the coming weeks, every player will be able to find personal purpose and motivation: whether it's leveling up new skills, preparing for Olympiad, participating in sieges, or developing unique class abilities. This update offers a ton of options for both individual play and social interaction, making every game session rich and exciting.

100 days have passed since the server started, and the pace doesn't even think of slowing down. Hundreds of people fight for Hellbound every evening, checking who will run out of Prime first. Almost 2000 people fight on Epics, while the server works stably, and even with playable FPS. The total PvP counter has long since exceeded 3 million, which even surprised us a little 😨

Mid Company.

MasterWork is a project for players of any style, regardless of their goals, free time and experience. The concept of the server was built on accessibility and equality: rates, locations, stages and class balance were created with this ideology in mind.
However, as popularity grew, we noticed that some aspects, such as Castles, Territory Wars and Epic Bosses, remained available only to a narrow circle of players. This content attracted the attention of many, but was mainly available to large clans, leaving players from Mid-War communities in the shadows.
Previously, such clans could compete for top goals only through alliances, losing autonomy, or after many months, when the activity of large clans decreased. We decided to change this! Therefore, in past seasons, the Mid Company
system was developed and later modified, with the aim of distributing key game aspects between different types of players. This is an innovative solution, created taking into account all the nuances. We are pleased to announce the introduction of Mid Company for the 5th season of MasterWork, as well as a number of innovations and improvements.

Basic rules of Mid Company:
- Access to Mid Company is granted after moderation by a representative of the Administration;
- Any unions and Alliances remain at the discretion of the players, the Administration does not interfere at this time;
  - Please note that overt dominance of a particular alliance may result in its exclusion from Mid Company.
- The administration has the right to deny access to Mid Company without explanation;
- Exit from Mid Company can be made at any time;
- In case of leaving Mid Company of the clan that owns the castle, the castle will be transferred to the NPC;
- The possibility of registering twin clans on Mid castles is impossible. If you have decided to gather a powerful coalition, and no one registers for the siege of your castle — this is your concern. Twin clans are also not allowed in Mid Company;
- These rules are a basic template with the possibility of adjustments by the Administration, based on the game situation.
You can read more about the Mid Company system in our Wikipedia.
Important innovations in the Mid Company system in MasterWork Season 5:
- Mid Company member clans can no longer enter the battle zone with top Epic Bosses;
  - The NPC for entry will not allow members of Mid Company clans into the Boss arena area, even if there is a pass:
    - Baium;
    - Frintezza;
    - Antharas;
    - Valakas.
- Mid Company member clans can no longer be in the siege zone of regular Castles (restriction comes into effect on February 8th);
  - When attempting to enter the Siege Zone of the following Castles, players will be teleported to the City:
    - Gludio;
    - Dion;
    - Schuttgart;
    - Aden;
    - Giran;
    - Oren;
    - Innadril;
    - Goddard;
    - Rune.
  - The division of Mid and Big War content was introduced specifically so that players just starting their path in competitive play could practice their skills and strategies in a circle of the same, equal players. Please do not try to bypass this distinction. If you are ready to participate in Big-War activities, then inform the Administration of your desire to leave Mid Company and accept the fight with dignity.
Epic Boss Dent:
- Dent is a unique Epic Boss for Mid Company MasterWork;
- The boss lives in a unique location, access to which is only available to members of clans that are part of Mid Company;
- In Season 5, the Boss mechanics and their Location have been significantly changed to diversify the gameplay and make battles even more exciting and varied, and new Bosses have been added to the locations to help small but daring clans get their piece of the pie:
  - Changed (improved) the entrance to the battle zone with Dent — now the portal for entry will have a visually noticeable effect after opening the entrance;
  - A new entrance will appear in the Castle in front of the Portal, which will provide additional tactical advantages:
    - In order to open the side gate, you also need to kill the guard — Bane, that is, there are now 2 bosses on the map;
    - Please note!
      - Due to the peculiarities of the Lineage 2 engine, from the location of the 2nd Bane the gate may be visually closed, but trust us and boldly move into battle.
  - Dent himself and the fight with him have received changes:
    - Now, when the Boss appears, a permanent effect will be applied to him, which increases the boss's Health regeneration by 400%:
      - This effect can be reduced in the following way:
        
        After the start of the fight with the Boss, 2 Bosses — Spirits will appear in random places around the Castle, upon the death of each of them, the effect of Dent's regeneration will be weakened by 50%;
        
        After the death of both Bosses, 2 more similar Bosses will appear at random points;
        
        As a result, after killing all 4 Bosses, the health regeneration bonus will drop to 200%;
        
        A little about Spirits:
        
        Like regular open world Bosses, the Spirit appears in a 3 minute protective barrier that prevents damage and debuffs from being dealt to it;
        
        Each Boss drops various rewards, as well as the main currency of the Location — Dent Coin;
        
        One of the Bosses can drop the main prize — Forgotten Scroll: Protection of Rune:
        
        The drop increases chance from each subsequent Boss, but only one book can drop;
        
        Please note!
        
        The Book of Rune Protection drops to the leader of the finishing group, similar to enchanting up the SA on raid bosses;
        
        The remaining loot drops to the group that deals the most damage to the Boss.
        
        After defeating all the Bosses, an additional passage will open leading to a previously closed part of the location where the Archon lives:
        
        When the Archon dies, the health regeneration buff is completely removed from Dent;
        
        The Archon also appears in invulnerability, lasting 3 minutes;
        
        In addition to rewards and Dent's Coin, the Boss drops a special key, and a special NPC appears at the site of his altar, who, in exchange for the key, can impose one of the effects on Dent to choose from:
        
        Effects that enhance Dent:
        
        Increases Physical Defense by 10% and melee attack resistance by 15%;
        
        Increases Physical Defense by 10% and Bow Resistance by 15%;
        
        Increases Magic Defense by 20% and resistance to all attributes by 30;
        
        Increases skill damage by 25%.
        
        Effects that weaken Dent:
        
        Reduces Physical Defense by 10% and melee attack resistance by 15%;
        
        Reduces Physical Defense by 10% and Bow Resistance by 15%;
        
        Reduces Magic Defense by 20% and all attribute resistance by 30;
        
        Reduces skill damage by 25%.
        
        This mechanic is designed to stimulate interaction between clans and/or alliances, and add new tactical and political mechanics to the game. Now players "from the outside" have a way to influence the fight with Dent. How exactly to use this mechanic is up to you 😈.
      - Dent's Coin:
        
        The main currency of Mid Company;
        
        Coin exchange rate:
        
        Ring of Core - 10 Dent's Coin;
        
        Earring of Orfen - 10 Dent's Coin;
        
        Zaken's Earring - 20 Dent's Coin;
        
        Physical Ring of Queen Ant - 60 Dent's Coin;
        
        Magical Ring of Queen Ant - 60 Dent's Coin.
      - Enchanting SA on Bosses:
        
        Dent:
        
        Overall chance for all members of the finishing party:
        
        10 => 11 — 100%;
        
        11 => 12 — 100%;
        
        12 => 13 — 100%;
        
        13 => 14 — 100%.
        
        Bane and Archon:
        
        Personal chance for each member of the finishing group:
        
        10 => 11 — 50%;
        
        11 => 12 — 35%;
        
        12 => 13 — 25%;
        
        13 => 14 — 15%.
        
        Spirits:
        
        Personal chance for each member of the finishing group:
        
        10 => 11 — 25%;
        
        11 => 12 — 15%;
        
        12 => 13 — 10%;
        
        13 => 14 — 5%.

Why to level up?
- In addition to new skills, the threshold and chances of enchanting skills increase with the level, which is a key mechanic at this stage of the game. New weapons, armor, epics, etc. are all important and necessary, but enchanting skills is the way to become noticeably stronger. A mage with +3 skills and +24 skills are very different characters, and the second, even with the worst boost, will kill while the first cannot even penetrate his target. Be sure to enchant your skills, the higher the better, do this first and you will immediately notice the difference — debuffs will begin to pass, skills will begin to inflict noticeably more damage, closings will hang longer and survivability will increase in general, and your character will reveal itself from a new side;
- A detailed guide to enchanting skills is available on our Wikipedia;
