Archmage is an effective PvP/Initiator with the ability to Polymorph foes into harmless chickens and apply Loki's Shroud on allies to cover them from enemy eyes!
Archmage prefers light armor and deals additional damage with any staff (both combat and support). When Archmage receives fatal damage, he instead gains a shield that instantly heals you for 40 HP and absorbs 60% on incoming damage for 3 sec.
To unlock Archmage you need to fulfill a starting condition: invest a certain amount of mastery points in any other classes. Only then specific Archmage class tasks will become available (as they do for any other class). These tasks are quite hard yet Archmage, no doubt, is worth such investments.
When exploring forest and rock locations you may now encounter sealed chests. To open them you need to apply specific spells of different classes. So don't postpone your class training, you will miss some loot opportunities, otherwise.
This update starts our first global event called Truce. During the event, if you are not in a raid, your camp cannot be attacked (even if you are offline!). So, take it easy! Anyway, you may manually start looking for a raid anytime you are in the mood.
New players will notice changes in the character creation process. It consists of two steps now and gives a more clear representation of each starting class. Furthermore, we've improved some visual guidings during the tutorial.
Frostborn now has controller support! If you prefer to play using a gamepad most basic in-game actions should work by default.
Update 1.3 will bring numerous improvements to the in-game shop. First of all, you will see a Starter's Pack proper to the class selected during the character creation. Additionally, we changed the contents of Survival's Pack and its name - it's called Healing Pack now. The contents of Gadgets Pack have changed as well.
For a limited time, you may purchase a newly-added Conqueror Pack in the shop. It contains powerful fire weapons, silver, Mercenary's Marks, and other useful items. Also, check the new Royal chest for your camp!
Time is moving on, so we removed festive decorations in New Heim. However, be ready for Lunar New Year! Don't forget to check the in-game shop later for sale and promos!
Among other changes we want to highlight the following:
- Durability bar now turns red when an item's durability reaches a critically low point
- You won't see improper weather effects in the underground section of Giants Treasure location
- Fixed bug with character's shield not displaying properly when entering a location
- Fixed bug with cams shield not displaying or not working properly on the World map

That's all, immortals! Share screenshots of your loot from the Sealed Treasures in the comments, and we wish you the best of luck as you become Archmages!
