Map Information ​

• Member Limit: 6
• Roster Limit: 18, locked after Grace (3 swaps per day)
• Faction Types: every faction picks a type when it is created. Noob is built for new or casual factions: 24 hour raid shields, protection from unattributed explosions, forgiving roster rules, and roomier base limits. Pro is built for experienced raiders: 2x FTop points on everything you earn, balanced by 6 hour raid shields, rosters locking after 1 day, and tighter base limits
• Noob Faction Base Limits: max 16 chunks of defences (any type), max 12 chunks with lava (regens), no 45's, and a maximum of 2 pre-built cannon boxes (360 buffers) in your buffer
• Pro Faction Base Limits: max 10 chunk buffers, max 6 chunks of regens, no 45's, and a maximum of 1 pre-built cannon box in your buffer
• Cannon Speed: 2s for raiding (including the Raiding Outpost) and 2s for buffer cannons
• PVP Allies: none, strictly enforced within the Warzone, events, and the Lightzone/Darkzone. Allying reports are handled in the private faction leaders channel only, never through tickets
• Reset Vault: fully closed for the first 3 days, fully open after
• Raid Claims: 7x7

Economy Rework ​

The entire Factions economy has been reworked this map, with one goal: more ways to actively earn, instead of everything funneling through Lightzone grinding.

• Dynamic Crop Economy: crop sell prices now rise and fall with real server supply and demand. Prices update throughout the day, so an oversold crop dips while neglected crops climb
• Daily Faction Contracts: every day the server posts rotating contracts asking for specific crop, log and mob drop deliveries in exchange for spawners. Complete them before they rotate!
• Farming Buffs: the Greedy Greens rune now sells for +3% extra per level, and Angelic Hoes now have a 100% chance to roll Greedy Greens
• Spawners: spawners are now 50% rarer as drops within the Lightzone & Darkzone, and remain fully purchasable in /shop, making purchasing spawners a much better investment

New PvP Event: Kill Confirmed ​

A brand new Daily Warzone Event mode where getting the kill is only half the job:

• Kills do not count until they are confirmed. When you die, you drop a tag in your team's color right at your feet
• An enemy must channel on the tag for 2 seconds to claim it, and taking damage interrupts the channel, so every confirm is a fight over the body
• A teammate can deny the kill by channeling the tag first (faster at 1 second), earning their faction a small bonus
• Confirm Streaks: chain confirms without dying to earn bonus points per confirm. Die, and your streak resets while your own tag hits the floor
• Tags vanish after 30 seconds, and the event awards PvPTop Points from 1st to 5th place just like the other PvP event modes

Crate Overhaul: Vote, Lunar & Solar ​

All three crates have had their loot pools reworked with the new item catalog, so every key is worth opening:

• Vote Crate: now has a chance to drop Angelic Tools (Hoe, Shovel or Fishing Rod), Gold Shards, and an Escape Ticket alongside its usual rewards. The rare Lunar Key and seasonal crate key pulls remain
• Lunar Crate: now drops higher-level Angelic Tools, Angelic Backpacks, bigger Gold Shard bundles, and Escape Tickets, with an increased Solar Key pull chance
• Solar Crate: remains the king, now dropping the highest-level Angelic Tools, rare Corrupted Angelics, high-tier Angelic Backpacks, and large Gold Shard bundles on top of its existing jackpots
• Nostalgia Drops: consumables from past seasonal sets return as crate pulls! Find packs of Candy Corn, Switcher Snowballs, Santa's Cookies, Coconuts and more across all three crates, with bigger packs and the rarer treats saved for Solar
• Key grinder items like the Jolly Shovel just got a lot more valuable, which helps promote gameplay outside of the Lightzone/Darkzone and encourages building farms for them

Daily Events ​

• Third Daily Time Trial: a new daily Camp Time Trial at 2 PM ET for our European players. Players may only participate in 2 of the 3 daily trials
• Trial Prep: building is now allowed during the Time Trial prep timer, extended to 30 minutes, but no TNT may be fired before the trial begins
• Trial TNT: Camp Time Trials now consume 1 TNT from your faction's TNT bank for every 5 TNT fired, instead of TNT being completely free
• Raid Camp Timers: now start when you fire your first cannon shot, not when you enter
• Daily Warzone Events: now alternate between two scheduling blocks so every timezone gets its share: an EU block (12 PM to 4 PM ET) and an NA block (4 PM to 9 PM ET). Still one event per day at a random time within the day's block
• Citadel: death cooldown lowered from 15 minutes to 10 minutes
• Citadel & Conquest Recaps: after each event, check out a brand new recap packed with extra stats, including the winning team’s player drafts, their kills, and time played on each draft. Study the winning combos, then beat them

Balance Changes ​

• Angelic Backpacks: the Lightzone/Darkzone drop rate bonus from backpacks has been reduced by 30% across all levels, and upgrade costs now scale harder at higher levels, making max-level backpacks a true long-term investment
• Gold Shards: Darkzone shard drops have been reduced by 10%, while Lightzone Tier 1 shard drops have been buffed, giving newer players an earlier path into the shard economy
• Reinforced Armor: fixed a long-standing rounding issue that made any level of this faction upgrade grant near-total immunity to armor durability loss. It now properly reduces durability damage by its listed percentage, meaning armor durability is a real part of gameplay again, and repair runes like Blacksmith and Recrystallize are now genuinely worth grinding for
• Spooky Shovel Rework (Grave Grip): the old Monster Grab ability has been fully replaced. Activate the ability and the next enemy you hit within 5 seconds is seized by phantom hands, rooted in place for up to 2.5 seconds (scaling by tier) and unable to move or use movement abilities. Sneaking players cannot be gripped

Misc & Fixes ​

• Logging out within the Lightzone/Darkzone while not combat tagged now leaves a hologram marking your logout location for 15 minutes, preventing players from logging out to set up ambushes (suggested by CountingWithElmo)
• Fixed Warzone time tracking on the leaderboards being inaccurate
