Announcement Nov. 2021 - News From The Content Team

Oh yes. Thesead needed a rework surely

 

Fruma

Bottom text


Level 80 gathering rework = high level

Guilds = High level

Fruma = High level


1.21 = Fruma

 

How do you know what level Fruma is going to be?
Also if anything, I bet Fruma will be around level 60.

 

Fruma is probably a higher level than corkus
The reason everyone thinks Fruma will be level 60 is because of the guards but they're level 60 because that's the default level for ocean mobs

________________________________

They said in the october updates that this update is smaller than 1.20 and 1.20 was a province rework
Plus we haven't seen any new areas

 

Agreed.

Also, at level 60, there's already the jungle in Wynn AND the dark forest in Gavel (all with their own quests and soon secret discoveries too). If they were to add Fruma at this level it would be a huge over-saturation of content in the mid game. The endgame needs more content, Fruma will satisfy that.
I imagine Fruma will be level 100+ (and maybe reach 110-ish?), then when Dern and the main storyline comes out, that'll go up to maybe even level 120.

 

From a gameplay perspective, I would definitely agree.

But when you look at the last SE quest, the last one at all, it is so different and built up like a finale that I can only imagine Dern to come after that. In AHC, there are almost philosophical questions about what’s good and what’s bad – and at the end, you fight those who you began your adventures with. After all of that and the exploring of an area that is literally called “Portal to Dern”, would it make sense to just tell the player “yeah, nice for finishing that super-climatic quest, but wait a few levels until you can actually go to Dern”? Of course, if explained well (Fruma=origins, maybe the player needs to find their own roots first etc.) it could work to have Fruma first, but it would still seem kind of random to me when I’d play through that.

There are some level ranges where the player already has to constantly jump between provinces for quests like levels 50-60, so it could also be that Fruma and Dern come together and the player explores both their origins and the dark plane of influence that causes decay and that stuff simultaneously, but for me, both Fruma and Dern would only make sense in high levels as explained in the post above.

 

100 minimum for fruma is overkill

Maybe it could span from 60 to perhaps 110

 

>As if that's a good thing

 

It is a very good thing in my opinion.
Current Thesead has nothing good going for it, so of course we're gonna try something different when reworking it. And it turned out amazing!

 

It is all subjective after all. I don't think it's at all bad but definitely strikes all the old Thesead nostalgia

 

For these XP and mass-gathering spots, could these spots have fewer hostile mob spawns? I hate going to certain gather spots and get swarmed by hostile mobs that just chip away at your GXP armour.

 

Fruma when
