Immortals!

The second week of the Phytonide invasion is underway. The enemy army is pushing our forces back on all fronts. A troop of sentient plants has landed in Veines and already started changing it. Together with the Templars of Aelion, you will eradicate the Phytonide threat.

Fight! Your main task is to stop the alien flora from spreading. The plants must not gain a foothold on our planet. Attack enemy mycelia - they produce seeds. But be careful - the Phytonides will fight fiercely to protect them. All five mycelia are connected and can support each other. Join forces with other immortals and destroy the enemy mycelia at the same time.

To stop you, the flagship of the invading army will release special spores into the air. Even the strongest immortals cannot breathe them for long. Fortunately, Flavius developed special neutralizers. Three of them working simultaneously can easily make the air breathable again. Unfortunately, the Phytonides quickly figured out their purpose. They will try to stop you.

You will also need to destroy rhizomorphs - the roots of the enemy flagship. It uses them to draw energy and nutrients from Aelion’s soil.

Machavann sent his best warriors to Veines. A troop of high Dryads have arrived at Aelion with a mysterious mission. Stop them. Eliminate them all! Remember: the monsters are extremely strong. You will need Aspects to defeat them.

Good luck!

Immortals!

Clashes with the forces of Mahavann take place all over Aelion. The enemy will lose - it is only a matter of time. But the immortals should be prepared. Our biologists’ experiments were successful, arming our soldiers with new weapons!

From April 18th through May 3rd, Machavann’s Heritage Packs will be available for purchase in the in game store. You will receive new legendary weapons for your Cryomancer and Lightbinder, as well as many other useful valuables at a good price!

The Phytonides dislike cold. That much can be surmised from the geography of Machavann’s followers’ attacks. Flavius’s assistants decided to go further and see the effects of extremely cold weather on sentient plants. A few months spent at arctic bases showed that despite their dislike of intensely cold weather, the Phytonides can adapt to any climate. Some of the Diones even demonstrate unique weather-controlling abilities.

One day, in a village liberated from the Phytonides, a team of scientists discovered something strange. The whole settlement was covered in big red flowers that made a faint ringing sound. They were even in spots where it was impossible for plants to grow - on stone pavements, walls, steel doors. Next, to the flowers, scientists tired from the travelling felt invigorated, which was reflected in their reports. Later, the Order of Lightbinders took an interest in the plants’ properties. Together with Flavius’s biologists, they developed a new weapon for their brothers.

Immortals!

We continue our story about the creation of the Grovewalker class. Today we will talk about the work of our artists, the search for the visual image and style of the mage of nature. Additionally, you will learn whether the Grovewalker's costume is environmentally friendly, about the number of joints in the phytoform's arms, and what anise has to do with all that. Enjoy!

What makes the Grovewalkers of Skyforge different from similar creatures in other games?

In myths and legends, they are first and foremost mages of nature. They live in forests, can communicate with wild animals, and turn into them when necessary. However, nature on Aelion is neither hostile nor aggressive - take the Stobor, for example. Even if players could turn into a Menar or Ursun, they would not look particularly intimidating.

That's why we started to search for alternatives among the invaders. Aswangs were an option. The Grovewalker would turn into some insect and use poison or webbing in their abilities. But that appearance seemed too dark. The Revenant was already gloomy enough. We wanted something brighter and more positive. So we chose the Phytonides. Various plants, mushrooms, flowers, trees provided a good breeding ground for creativity.

Search for ideas Creating drafts Choosing an archetype The original idea was that of a tropical voodoo shaman.

Grovewalker Weapon

In Skyforge, sci-fi and fantasy elements come together, but the majority of classes have technologically complex weapons and use various devices. The nature magic of the Grovewalkers is too fantasy-like which makes this class different from most others. In most media, mages use a staff, but we wanted to make not just a staff, but a tree, so you could see that it's a mage of nature. All abilities emphasize that. We believe that fantasy fans will enjoy playing this class!

Shapes and Colors

We used various plants as a reference when creating class costumes. The Grovewalkers do not "wear" metal or plastic, so you could say it's the most eco-friendly class! The alternate costume was meant to be a spirit of nature, a living tree.

The alternate appearance is similar but a bit gloomier - the "dark side" of the class. The idea was to show the symbiotic nature of the class without making players think of it as a mutant.

The visual effects for the Grovewalker's abilities also contain nature elements and "phytogenous" colors - green and yellow hues. For Diocinia flowers, we used the shape of anise pods as a reference.

Phytoform Appearance

The phytoform's size had to be impressive - it's a defensive form, after all. It also needed to move quickly and deal great damage in an area. We had variations on the mushroom theme and swamp monsters, but in the end we picked the "plant" version. Lianas of the phytoform can extend and twine, and the body is encased in an armored shell that sprouts spikes. So the plant theme runs through all visual aspects of the Grovewalker. Phytoform and human form are different from each other in their structure: liana arms have no joints, and the legs are animal-like.

When animating the phytoform, we thought of animals and gorillas in particular. We wanted to make movement and all attacks different from those of a human, so the phytomorph often goes down on all fours. But it couldn't be on all fours all the time, because it uses its liana arms for attacks.

That's it for now, see you in the next developer update!

Imagine a vacation on Naori Island: warm sand, a cool breeze, and a fragrant cocktail on a beach. Is there anything that can make this moment even better? A pile of Argents and a complete collection of generation 13 legendary weapons, of course. There is a unique game on Aelion: King's Ransom. Participate, earn rewards, and compete for the Triumph grand prize: 100 000 Argents!

The rules are simple: just open the card and take the treasures hidden in it!

Triumph's size and names of the lucky winners are displayed on the right side of the screen. The luckiest will get a big prize! 100 000 is just the starting amount of Triumph. It will be increased by 100 Argents for every 5 tickets purchased by players. Who knows, perhaps the amount will reach 300 000, 500 000, or even a million Argents?!

And once a player wins the grand prize, the game starts again, and the amount will return to its starting value. Magic cards can earn you Triumph or one of the following rewards:

	Random generation 13 legendary weapon (temporary)		Sparks of Perfection
