Greetings Mortals,

Radial Interaction Menu

You can now look at a player and hold down your use keybind to open the radial menu, then select an option by hovering over it with your mouse and releasing the use key.

Dueling
- Added Ranked Dueling System, initiated through the radial interaction menu. There are 8 different rank tiers to progress through as you increase your rank score, each with 5 divisions.
- The Rankings menu shows a profile tab where you can see your current duel rank score, max rank score,wins,losses and duel match history. It also shows the current season’s leaderboard to view both the top ranked players as well as people around your ranked score.
- You can now choose between challenging opponents to ranked or unranked Duels.

Account Items & Character Re-roll
- You can now purchase character re-rolls from the mortalonline2.com/account site.

- You will keep your current trained skills, Clade Level and Mastery Level. You will need to use a Clade Reset Potion and Shards of Oblivion if you wish to change your learned gifts after rerolling. Your attributes and nation standing will also be kept, but will be reduced if your new maximum is lower than before.

Combat

Magic

Surrender System
- Added the ability to Surrender. This is an action which can be found in the skill list and it can be activated when idle, during mercy mode and even while mounted. While surrendering, other players will be able to peek inside your inventory, which is useful in case you want to negotiate a deal with potentially hostile players or to show them you have nothing worth killing you over (without putting yourself at risk by doing /droploot).
Pets
- Horses can now be tamed with no points invested into the Taming skill.
- Updated the required Taming skill level range for all pets. You can now customize your Taming skill point investment based on which pets you want to be able to tame, rather than always needing 100 Taming for most pets regardless of their strength or utility. Weaker pets generally require less Taming skill point investment.

- Pets no longer lose loyalty when telling it to attack a target.
