We have now reached the 28th update since the remaster project began a year ago, with updates being delivered consistently. As the world becomes more established and our schedule remains on track, we're ready to introduce new systems to enhance gameplay. The first of these is the bounty board system. With update 4.29 already in the works, this certainly won't be the final update for the project this time. Lets start with diving into the new bounty system:
|
'' Hunt Together ''
The latest update brings an exciting new feature to the center of Aeven: the Bounty Board. Each day, the Bounty Board will offer a set of bounties, which all players are automatically tracked. So there is no need to accept them manually. When completing the bounty the players must return to the board to claim their prizes, which can include experience points, eons, and a variety of random items like healing potions or puffyweed.
One of the key aspects of this new system is its collaborative nature. The Bounty Board tracks everyone in the vicinity of the target, allowing players to work together toward the same objectives. This means that whether you're playing solo or with a group everyone in range is contributing to a shared goal. The introduction of this system aims to foster cooperation and create a more dynamic and friendly environment in Aeven.

'' Hallodale's Origins ''
We have been carefully looking at Hallodale, and its industrial architecture and significant scale that was originally intended to serve as a hub for production and manufacturing. Given this context, we have refined our understanding of Hallodale's role within the broader landscape. We now view it as an industrial center with its unique set of challenges, including polution, deforestation, and the presence of Orcs. Its new isolation, accessible only by railroad, further reinforces this identity.
After a thorough review of historical maps and records, we have made targeted adjustments to the town design. Hallodale will feature its own railroads, a central town area, an insect garden focused on ants, an Orc cave, and the traditional underground fortress, all contributing to its industrial narrative.
|
Hallodale is currently a work in progress but will feature some classic maps that were already present near the town, such as the Ant Garden and Underground Fortress. Additionally, the best parts of Hallodale town itself have been incorporated into the remastered version. The area is planned for players at level 30 and above.
 Hallodale as a continent will be a work in progress for a while, as we add more quests, items and areas such as the Orc Cave.

A new ant nest north of Hallodale was added, in an area that used to be home to Ants, Stringers and Hornets. The nest consists of three floors with the Queen located at the bottom, protecting the Nest Cores. Players can now explore and engage with this new area if they choose.

New quests have been added to further enhance the player experience in Aeven. These quests introduce the new train ride to the recently added Hallodale continent, providing additional content.

New Quest: Flora Hunt (L14)
Quest Giver : Florebella
Map : Blobsie Garden
Reward : 12600EXP, 800Eons
Florabella, located at the new Blobsie Garden, now has her own quest. She has a particular interest in decorating her cave with flowers and will ask the player to assist her in finding some of the rarer varieties scattered across the Aeven continent. The quest fits nicely at L14, giving all players the oppertunity to earn 800 additional Eons by collecting flowers.

New Quest: Spider Cleanup (REP to L17)
Quest Giver : Dolly Dusty
Map : Aeven Farmlet
Reward : 700EXP
To add more content to the newly introduced Farmlet area, we've included a quest featuring Dolly Duster, who is too afraid to clean the basement. This quest is designed for new players, offering a non-combat way to gain experience by just catching small spiders.

New Quest: Deep Dumbbell (L10)
Quest Giver : Rocky Riptide
Map : Josand Port
Reward : 70000EXP, 500 Eons
Rocky's quest is designed to encourage early-level players to think about how to reach the "big ocean" located in Atlantis. This quest serves as a lead-in to the higher-level questline involving Shabby and his submarine, which is needed to access Atlantis. Players will need to find the dumbbell, which is randomly located in Atlantis' big ocean, and completing the quest will reward them with 500 Eons.

New Quest: Lost Luggage (L30)
Quest Giver : Bagson McGee
Map : Aeven Railroads
Reward : 36000EXP, 300Eons
This quest provides L30 players with a reason to travel to Hallodale by train to retrieve Bagson's lost luggage. With Hallodale being developed as a crafting and enhancement area aimed at high-level players we added this quest to invite higher players to explore the new area.

New items, ranging from semi-common to rare, have been added to provide more variety and a slight economic boost. This should give the grinders something to keep them busy for a little while.
- Bass Guitar (new craftable instrument - Hallodale craft)
- Blue Royal m/f (wearable armor - minigame reward)
- Demonique m/f (wearable armor - Shadows Border craft )
- Griffon Warrior m/f (wearable armor - Boss drop )
- Posion Quiver (wearable - Aeven Ranger Shop )
- Saw Blade (legendary sword - Hallodale craft )
