With Necromancy's launch date getting closer, we have begun releasing weekly Insights to help get you up to speed! Our first blog is all about Rituals. Light a candle for our ghostly friends!
Our next Insights release will focus on the story and lore associated with Necromancy! This will launch with a video and blog this Thursday, so keep your eyes peeled.
We've shown you our rework concepts for the Soul Dye item, and today we're delighted to show off its new look!
This new approach combines your favourite bits of the concepts we shared with a new animated texture, which has also been tuned to be slower and more readable. You should be able to pick out each individual ghoulish grimace!
We hope this new design is more in line with your expectations. We really appreciate all your feedback.
Although you can view the new design at the Parcels from the Dead area, the Soul Dye itself has not been updated in this week's update. We're still busy working behind the scenes to bring the updated look to all other dyeable items, as well as the ones on display in the event area.
We expect to release the new-and-improved Soul Dye on July 17th. Please remember that when the new Dye releases, it will override the existing Soul Dye on any items it's applied to.
Parcels From The Dead Event Extension
Since the Soul Dye update won't arrive by July 17th, we're extending the event by one week, until July 24th. More time to get your hands on the Soul Dye!
