We're super excited to release two brand-new skills to the public! Both Fishing and Cooking are now available! With that also comes shields, which you can smith.
 
  
=== Fishing ===
+
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...
All around the world, bait can be collected. Whether it's as drops from fishing spiders, forest spiders, mushrooms, or forest bats, or the worms you can collect around the game world, these little creatures are perfect for reeling in fish!
 
  
You will find fishing spots around the map, but the most populated hub is the fishing docks, straight down from the Forest Bats, past the Forest Fiends. There, you will enjoy a tranquil lake full of fish to catch. All the way from anchovies to entire orcas, a new grind awaits!
+
===== '''Shadowdune''' =====
  
=== Cooking ===
+
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.
These fish can be cooked to perfection too. If you have a pinch of salt for seasoning, you can turn these fish into delicious meals for your pets. You can cook at the cookfire south of the smithing hub.
 
  
=== Salt Rocks ===
+
'''The Tomb of Shadowdune'''
Two new rocks are now available for mining: salt and pink salt. Salt can be found at the Forest Bats, and Pink Salt can be found in the High-Risk PvP zone.  
+
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.
  
=== Pet Food ===
+
'''The Mummy of Shadowdune's Tomb'''
The delicious food you cook can be fed to your pets to increase their power. Bring a bunch of good food and your follower will return the favor.
+
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.
  
=== Shields ===
+
'''The Mummy's Spirit'''
You can finally equip shields! These can be forged from metal at the normal smithing hub, and can be worn to increase one's defense stat.
+
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.
  
Have fun playing this update while we're working on the things lined up, such as the Desert. Stay tuned for more!
+
'''Treasure Rooms'''
'''Check this out to find out more details about [[Fishing]] and [[Cooking]]'''
+
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...
  
~ Your Curse of Aros team.
+
'''Ancient Armour'''
 +
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?
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''Scarabs'''
 +
There's a new species discovered: gem-backed scarabs! These scarabs have gems to cut off. Need a few shinies? There you go.
 +
 
 +
'''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.
  
== '''7 June 2020''' ==
+
'''Deadrock Shield'''
[[File:High Risk Pvp m.png|thumb| This update brings the competition!]]
+
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.
'''''Prepare your weapons - High-Risk High-Reward DANGEROUS PvP IS HERE!'''''
 
  
While we were working on the Desert expansion, we asked you if you wanted us to release the PvP update in the meantime. You said yes, so here's something exciting while we are hard at work finishing up the Desert expansion (of which phase 1 is nearing completion!)
+
'''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.
  
Dangerous PvP
+
'''Snake Charm'''
Before we get started, '''YOU WILL LOSE ITEMS'''. Seriously. Read that again. This is high-risk. Dangerous PvP. If you die, you lose items and gold. Read it once more to be sure. Got it? Good!  
+
If you get the Snake Eye, you can make a nice ring out of it that protects you from vile snakes. Be safe!
  
In the Dangerous PvP portal, you'll find the ability to fight other people for their items and gold. Before entering the portal, you are shown what items you will keep and what you will lose at the time of entering. If you pick new items up, it may not be up to date anymore. We recommend rechecking through the portal every now and then!
+
'''Sandstone Mining'''
 +
If your mining level is 45 or higher, you can now mine Sandstone around the hot desert.
  
Dangerous PvP has 1v1 combat, meaning that you can only fight one person at a time. Level restrictions apply here, but if there is a request for it, we will expand the zone with a free-for-all area where larger level differences can fight.
+
'''Sandstone Shield'''
 +
Sandstone can be crafted into Sandstone shields - a medium level shield to protect against damage.
  
Despite the high risk, you can earn a lot there too! If you kill someone, you get the items they lose. This could be your chance to truly become wealthy through PvP!
+
'''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!
  
Bank Amount Button
+
'''Ancient Rod'''
The bank interface has received a button that lets you change the deposit and withdraw quantity. You need to have the latest game version for this, and iOS users may have to wait until the acceptance before it becomes available.  
+
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.
  
Yesterday's Outage
+
'''Cursed Relics'''
We're going to work on solving yesterday's issue after this update.  
+
These relics provide 50% damage mitigation against Cursed attacks. Handy... or required?
  
The Desert: Just Around The Corner
+
'''Spade Digging'''
We know everyone is anticipating the release of the Desert. We are too! There are a lot of changes, big and small, that accompany that update and we're trying to do it in two releases to reduce the wait time. Stay tuned for more information!
+
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!
  
Here is where you can find out all about the [[High Risk PvP]] area!
+
Thank you,
