[[File:Shadowdune_Map.png|thumb| This update brings a whole new area to the land of aros as well as cool new items!!!]]
+
- So, what's a Halloween event without killing things? Right, not a Halloween event. But this time, it's not in your hands, as the enemy you're up against is quite hard to hit: ghosts. So to solve that, you're teaming up with the other dark side (yeah there's two) and will be building yourself some brave, emotionally-unstable soldiers, made from Pumpkins and some Luminant Souls. These bad boys will take to battle for you, and guess what? Loot's all yours!
  
−
Everyone!! We've worked for longer than we would like to admit: this is the accumulation of 12 months worth of small improvements on a never-ending project. Now, it's here, and we've done everything in our power to make this the most exciting update ever. And we think it is. Here's why...
+
'''So, to hit the ground running, here's how to participate:'''
  
−
== '''Shadowdune''' ==
+
- 1. Harvest a Pumpkin in the grassy fields, just south of the spawn hub;
 +
- 2. Kill and Skill until you've obtained 50 Luminant Souls (any monster or XP activity drops them);
 +
- 3. Take the Spider-Express cart (south of the anvil and furnace) to the event zone;
 +
- 4. Walk over to the East, and interact with one of the Scarecrows scattered there;
 +
- 5. Choose one of the moods you're in (it's okay to lie) and watch it come to life;
 +
- 6. Wait for your brave unit to decimate a ghost with determination;
 +
- 7. Grab the Lootkin that's dropped, it has your reward inside!
  
−
The main area of this update is Shadowdune: the large landmass you've all had slight sight of. Venture into it, but not unprepared: various monsters await your arrival. Scorpions, Desert Raptors, Sandstone Golems, Brown and Purple Snakes, Scarabs from Sapphire to Arosite, Cactus Soldiers... brace yourself.
+
'''There's a total of 5 rewards you can obtain:'''
  
−
* '''The Tomb of Shadowdune'''
+
- 1. [[Bionic Skull]]
−
The Tomb, located just north of the village, is only for the strong and brave: vicious snakes are ready to destroy you as you pass. Dare to enter? Be ready to face Anubis and the Anubis Elite, two new monsters with unique drops.
+
- 2. [[Bionic Ribcage]] (chestpiece)
 +
- 3. [[Bionic Limbs]] (legpiece)
 +
- 4. [[Scream Mask]] (rare!)
 +
- 5. a Lootling pet
  
−
* '''The Mummy of Shadowdune's Tomb'''
+
'''New Cosmetics'''
−
The once-strong King of Shadowdune is now found as a sleeping Mummy. If you bring the right key, you might awaken his Spirit and face the strongest boss of Curse of Aros to date. This boss will give you Gold Keys, which you can use in the Tomb Treasure rooms. And uhm... bring Cursed Relics. Just to be sure.
+
- While this round isn't the most jam-packed with cosmetics as we spent 99% of our effort on the event's gameplay, we do have a few new ones for you to obtain. They're going live within the hour, so keep an eye out, if you want brains!
  
−
* '''The Mummy's Spirit'''
+
'''Support for emoji bubbles'''
−
Once in a few battles, the spirit of the Mummy will be reanimated and make its way to the mainland. A great experience, because this free-for-all boss will drop Experience Potions! Arm yourself with a few of those for your upcoming battles.
+
- In anticipation of quite a few major changes hitting Curse of Aros <s>in a few years or something idk lmao</s> soon ™️, we've added a new emoji-bubble system that we're trialing with this update. Reason for the system is a more immersive experience where we want to have NPCs be more dynamic in their behaviour. On top of that, this system could allow for player-to-player interactions (such as buttons for quick expressions or, when the hardest two-player boss lands as part of the "Lava Update", possibly battle callouts to make teamwork easier..) You'll see more of this system over time as we implement it in various pieces of content.
  
−
* '''Treasure Rooms'''
+
'''World Selector overhaul'''
−
The Tomb has, as many toms do, treasure chambers. Should you find them, make sure you bring some keys with you to try on the locks. You may just get lucky and open the Gold Chest, full of ancient materials...
+
- We've given some love to the world list, in particular style-wise, but also with a new feature that's going live this week. The new world selection interface will begin showing what world is boosted, giving you a visual indicator of where your grind is most fruitful, if maximising XP-per-hour is your ultimate goal.
  
−
* '''Ancient Armour'''
+
'''Smithing Gauntlets'''
−
The strongest set to date: Ancient Equipment (95). Finishing off with an Ancient Scimitar, this set is made from the purest gold and finest materials mixed with the essence of Mummies. Do you have what it takes to achieve the most powerful and shiny armour in the game?
+
- You can now smith Mythan and Gold gauntlets, on top of the previously existing metal tiers. These were missing before, but have now made their way into the game and as such can be obtained for gear presets.
  
−
* '''Scarabs'''
+
'''Potions?!'''
−
There's a new species discovered: gem-backed scarabs! These scarabs have gems to cut off. Need a few shinies? There you go.
+
- The scrolls you've grown to love have had a make-over. Or well, a bit more than just that: they're potions. The reason for this change is that, as we near the release of Alchemy, these items will find their new use within the wide range of tens (or close to a hundred) of different potions that Alchemy will bring. While it may take a bit to get used to the visual change, we believe that once you're over that hurdle, Alchemy is going to come in like a breath of fresh air, with all sorts of unique potions for you to try, brew, and ruin.
−
 
 
−
* '''Magnetite Scarabs'''
 
−
These Scarabs also have a slightly stonger variant: the Magnetite Scarab. These can drop Magnetite, which is used to craft a Magnetic Charge.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Desert Raptors'''
 
−
Desert Raptors can now be fought, and are assignable as tasks.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Sandstone Golems'''
 
−
Sandstone Golems are large, powerful and all-destructing golems. If you're lucky, you could get the Ancient handle. This handle lets you craft the Ancient Pickaxe and Ancient Axe.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Raptor Hide & Gloves'''
 
−
All raptors, from the regular green to the new Desert ones, drop Raptor Hides. These can be woven into Raptor Gloves: handy protection for your knuckles.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Necklaces & Silver'''
 
−
Finally, a use for all this silver in your bank! Smelt it into bars and turn it into powerful necklaces, such as the Battle Necklace, or the Ruby Necklace. There's a total of 5 new Necklaces to be made.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Teleporter'''
 
−
To find your way around the map a little faster, you can use Magnetic charges to teleport yourself from A to B. They stack in your inventory and will help you to get around a little easier.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Infernal Eruption'''
 
−
Once in a blue moon, the core of the world heats up sufficiently to erupt in violence and create cracks in the surface. Be quick, mine them and perhaps you can find a Smouldering Stone!
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Smouldering Stone & Infernal Hammer'''
 
−
The Smouldering stones can be made into an Infernal Hammer, saving you an inventory slot and providing 4% bonus Smithing XP with 2,000 charges. A must-have.
 
−
Black Salt Mining
 
−
If you're sufficiently high in mining, you can try to mine the new Black Salt rocks - great for seasoning bigger fish!
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Big Fish Cooking'''
 
−
You can now cook Sharks and higher at the big cooking table in Shadowdune. For this, you need the Black salt.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Sandworms Fishing'''
 
−
In Shadowdune, Sandworms often make appearance through the sand and can be used to catch Anglerfish.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Ancient Pickaxe & Axe'''
 
−
With the Ancient handle from Sandstone Golems, and some of the rare materials from the Mummy, you can make the Ancient (Pick)axe - excellent level 95 tools that will help you cut and chop even more efficiently!
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Golemite Gauntlets'''
 
−
You can now smith Golemite Gauntlets, powerful new handwear, from the normal Golemite ingredients.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Deadrock Shield'''
 
−
A nice inbetween-level shield can be obtained from the Rock Demon: the Deadrock Shield. At level 70, it's a great addition to the strength stat of your build.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''The Ancient Tree'''
 
−
With the nutrient-rich soil, every now and then an ancient seed unfolds into a mighty tree. This tree can be cut for various logs, similar to the Meteorite, but can also give you a brand new unique gem: the Snake Eye.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Snake Charm'''
 
−
If you get the Snake Eye, you can make a nice ring out of it that protects you from vile snakes. Be safe!
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Sandstone Mining'''
 
−
If your mining level is 45 or higher, you can now mine Sandstone around the hot desert.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Sandstone Shield'''
 
−
Sandstone can be crafted into Sandstone shields - a medium level shield to protect against damage.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Spinus'''
 
−
In the warmest center of Shadowdune rests Spinus, a demiboss that's strong but weak at the same time. Besides the cactus chunks, you can also get the Cactus Ring!
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Ancient Rod'''
 
−
If you've been lucky enough to get the Ancient Reel from the Mummy, you can now assemble this into a new fishing rod that will reel in the real fishes.
 
−
Palm Trees
 
−
Have high woodcutting? Great! Cut away at some palm trees. Surely someone will have a use for those logs.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Cursed Relics'''
 
−
These relics provide 50% damage mitigation against Cursed attacks. Handy... or required?
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Spade Digging'''
 
−
Many monsters now carry various spades, from feeble Iron spades all the way to Ancient Spades. However, the latter may be only from a particular monster or boss... These spades let you dig the beetle mounds all around Shadowdune - wonder what's inside? Go check it out!

Thank you,
