- While in Juggernaut's rage, aggro generation is greatly decreased.
- Gravedigger Gumdor's quest has been re-factored to fix some zone crashes. Also killing malicious spirits should give exp now.
- Bloodstorm quest drop rates greatly increased to compensate for increased trash repop rate.
- Wizard Quick Gate is working again
- Bind Wounds should no longer go off when pickpocketing

Update: we still have a couple things to do before we can let the new zone run free, stay tuned, we'll get that done ASAP.


- Muddy runeblade proc has been fixed
- Fixed a bug where taunt could occur to mobs out of line of sight
- Iskkath the Mindful and Misstress Saitha should be super fixed now and hopefully not bug out
- Fixed several buffbot npcs that would cast a buff but only on themselves
- Silent Halls (will soon be) open. Apologies for some last minute updates that need to happen first
- Bloodstorm trash has been increased to be an 8 hour repop to be consistent with other 12-man content
- Familiars and healing wells should work properly again
- A proc bug that could cause crashes has (hopefully) been identified and fixed. If you had issues with Screamblade/Hooptyhork, see if those issues are now resolved
- Group members should no longer poof when going LD, and groups should not suddenly dissolve when there are only 2 people left
- We will be lowering respawn times on some of the older adepts that are still really slow so they are more in line with newer ones. Please be patient while we identify them and get them updated

This is a great video to give people a tease of what Shards of Dalaya is like:

Server hardware upgrade is now complete. Thanks for your patience.

On Sunday 7/15/2017 at 8am EST, all SoD systems will be going offline for an upgrade to new hardware. This is a major move, and we expect it to take 8+ hours sadly. Te website may go down before then to shorten the disruption. Discord should remain functional, and we will provide updates as we have them.

- More static animal mobs added to Forest of the Fallen.
- Behavior of Uneven Breastplate and Breastplate of Flowing Life was improved. Certain bugs related to these items should now be fixed.
- A new tier 11/12 outdoor named monster can be found in Sunpeaks. Please report bugs and balance issues to Dev-Rymy.

- Knight balancing: Ongoing over the next several patches. In this patch for paladins:

Runic: Zealous Might changes:
- Mana cost reduced from 300 -> 100.
- Added effect: 20% melee damage.

- New spell: Righteous Might, level 55, obtainable from merchants:
- Lesser version of Runic: Zealous Might.

- Fixed a bunch of mobs that were missing or broken. Blame Taryth.
- A new patcher is available which allows you to copy character profiles quickly.
- It turns out it's hard to pretend to be dead while trying to rip away a weapon from a monster. As such, you will not be able to disarm mobs while feigned any longer.

We are giving out awards of 1000, 500 and 250 frame for the best SoD Promotional videos. We currently have 1 submission but are looking for more!
