Hello everybody!
As the year comes to a close, I’m happy to announce the final update of 2025. The Christmas event has arrived, bringing two new rare items: Walking stick & Dragon Santa hat. Three new dyes are now available in the Emps Credits store and item hover bonuses have been improved. Eating delays have been adjusted (+1 tick) and combat in the wilderness now always prioritizes PvP over PvE.
🎄December Events – Starting Today!
Another year has flown by, and we’re excited to kick off our December event weeks! Each event runs for about a week, packed with fun activities and special bonuses. Plus, Santa’s annual present delivery is back! Check out the schedule below:
- 🎁 Christmas Event
Starting today get ready for a festive season of present deliveries! The rare item pool has been updated to provide fair chances for new rares. Please note, Candy Cane, Salty Claws Hat, and Bunny Ears have been removed from the Christmas Cracker drop table. During events from now on, the rare item pool will feature approximately 10–12 items. This year you can obtain two new items: Dragon Santa Hat and Walking stick. The Dragon Santa Hat has been reworked and received the flowing lava effect. Both new rares can be recolored with dyes.
- ⚔️ Free PvE Deaths
From December 10th to 17th, face any monster without worrying about losing your items! PvE deaths come free of charge - no items lost, no penalties. Note: This does not apply in the Wilderness or for HCIM accounts.
- 💰 Double Drop Chance
From December 17th to 24th, double your loot! Every drop table roll will give you two chances to snag rare items, significantly increasing your odds of scoring coveted rewards. Clue scroll rewards also benefit from this double drop chance.
- ✨ Double Experience
Ring in the New Year with a bang! From December 24th to January 5th, enjoy double experience across all activities, including minigame rewards. It’s the perfect time to level up and finish the year strong!

Proseveil, Proselyte & Umbral Dyes
Three new dyes have been added to the Emps Credits store, giving you more ways to customize your character's appearance. The new options are Proseveil (gold & black), Proselyte (gold & white), and Umbral (purple & blue). These dyes can also be used to recolor rares obtained from Christmas Crackers. Each dye offers a distinct color theme to help your gear stand out even more. This is what they look like:

Item Hover Bonuses
Item tooltips now display a direct comparison to your currently equipped gear, letting you quickly see whether an item is stronger or weaker. The tooltip layout has also been overhauled for better readability. Additionally, hovering over items in the equipment screen now shows all absolute bonus values.

Item Drop Chances
You can now check drop chances from the Collection Log. That includes the Christmas cracker, Rares chest and Mystery box. These entries don't count towards your completion count.

Eating Delays & PvP Combat Priority
The speed in which you can consume potions and food is too fast. You become unkillable in many scenarios by just spam-clicking food, brews and Karambwans. While I don't think this is bad it makes balancing a little bit difficult. Thus eating delays have all been increased by 1 tick each. Default food can now be eaten in 3 tick intervals and potions in 2 tick intervals. Combo eating with potions and Karambwans remains untouched. Furthermore, the wilderness now emphasizes player combat over monster encounters, allowing players to be attacked at any time. Hiding behind monster combat no longer offers any safety.
Changelog:- An issue has been fixed where you could bank your equipment into members-only bank tabs.
- The Dragon pickaxe mining animation has been sped up
- You can no longer buy Mod or Admin capes from the Skillcape shop.
- Casting spells manually is no longer slower than auto-casting.
- Max hits from your familiars now also show the critical hit splat.
- The quest interface no longer closes when you move or are in combat.
- You can now use the symbols , and = for key bindings. They'd previously break the key binding parser and wouldn't work after restarting the game.
- Faulty activity scores (00:00 taken) are no longer broadcasted.
- Various rares from Christmas Crackers can now be recolored with dyes.
- A bug was fixed where you'd stop fishing before exhausting the Fishing spot completely.
- The Mining animation for Dragon pickaxe has been fixed.
- Familiars now have an ability cooldown of 10 seconds. I understand this may be annoying, but the Steel titan is not supposed to be the main source of damage.
- Various signposts on the map have received direction information.
Hope you've enjoyed the updates of 2025. I for enjoyed working on the Summoning skill the most. For 2026 I'd like to release a new group dungeon and have a look at power creep being future proof. Maybe a system to upgrade older gear or introduce high-level enemies that block damage.
All the best,
Thomy
