Greetings Mortals,
This enormous patch introduces the Relic Wars feature, Guild Heraldry, the long awaited Broker Search overhaul, Group Tasks and much more!
Relic Wars
A rumble from the sky announces the arrival of a Relic. Keep your eyes open for it streaking across the sky, landing somewhere on Myrland. Once on the ground it will need to cool down for 30 minutes, before cracking open and revealing the Relic inside. There are several different types of Relics:
- Reliquary Relics: Construct the new Reliquary structure and place the Reliquary Relic inside to gain a guild-wide buff. Purchase a Reliquary Siphon from the Quartermaster to deplete the shield containing someone else’s Relic and steal it for yourselves.
- Equipment: These are powerful weapons and armor.
- Ore: Mineable meteorites that provide valuable resources.
- Wave: Several consecutive waves of enemies followed by a boss.
- Hoard: Loot spawns around this Relic frequently, with chances to find some rather valuable items.
Guild Heraldry
Showcase your guild's identity with our new Heraldry system! Design unique tabards that represent your guild throughout the world of Nave. Create distinctive patterns, choose your colors, and display your guild's prestige with this comprehensive customization tool.
- Heraldry is a guilds-only feature.
- Tabards are only available for players that are part of a guild.
- Tabard visibility can be toggled in the character window with no additional items required.
- Access the heraldry designer via the in-game menu - anyone can access the designer, but only guild members rank 8 or higher can apply designs.
- Base cost for applying heraldry is 2000 gold and 50000 Prominence.
- Additional cost of 100 gold and 5000 Prominence per guild level.
Essence Orbs
As many of you may have guessed, this is the secret feature which was displayed as a question mark on the Sprint 8 Roadmap.
Essence Orbs are a brand new type of item which has been added to the game, in many ways acting similarly to the existing trinkets, however with some key differences.
Essence Orbs are glass orbs containing a magical essence, which when broken and absorbed, impart various different interesting effects onto your character. Each Essence Orb has two primary effects and two secondary utility based effects. Some of these effects are quite unique, and can augment gameplay in interesting ways.
- Discover Essence Orbs, fragile containers of swirling, magical essence, each providing different types of augmentation and potent enchantments.
- Similar to trinkets, they grant unique effects and will need to be identified once acquired. Unlike trinkets they do not lose charges upon death, however in order to unequip them you will need an “Empty Essence Orb”, which is sold by the Magic Vendor.
Group Tasks
- Added support for Group Tasks, these tasks are multi-step tasks that require you to finish more than one objective to complete the task.
- Almost all boss tasks have been turned into group tasks. These new tasks are meant for larger groups to do while doing a dungeon run.
Tasks
- All tasks now give progress if you earn at least 5% of the Glory from a kill, down from 25%.
- Adjusted the task generation logic to select tasks with increased randomness, ensuring a more varied selection of tasks.
- Fixed an issue where the daily task timer was not calculated correctly.
- Reduced spawn timers on many pickables to improve Foraging task quality of life.
- Adjusted the quantity required on several daily tasks to be lower.
Broker Update

- The Broker now by default shows the latest items sent up for sale/Buy Order when you have not chosen a category or filter. You can unselect a category to go back to this mode.
