The Echoes of Steel draw ever closer.
Between 17th August (12 PM) and 6th September 2026 (12 PM server time), you can explore new paths of ancient power.
Discover forgotten arts, master powerful talent trees, and unleash abilities that have long lain hidden in the shadows of time.
Choose Your Path of Destiny
During the event you can select one of eight paths of destiny. Each of these ancient schools of combat has its own talent tree, unique mechanics, and a distinctive style of play.You can choose from:
- Highlander: A warrior with two-handed weapons whose raw strength shatters any resistance.
- Shadowblade: A master of evasive manoeuvres and deadly counter-attacks.
- Executioner: Executioners weaken their enemies with serious bleeding wounds.
- Warden: Wardens are noted for their impregnable defence and powerful retaliatory attacks.
- Ranger: The living embodiment of speed, control and precision attacks.
- Runeblade: The power of the four elements are the basis of the Runeblade’s power.
- Templar (good karma only): Holy abilities and Burning Zeal drive the Templar’s courage.
- Inquisitor (evil karma only): Inquisitors drain energy from their enemies and gradually bring about their demise.
Only one path of destiny can be active at once. After switching, you must wait 8 hours before you can select another. This waiting time can be skipped with Rubies.
New Combat Mechanics
The paths of destiny are more than just simple stat boosts. Each path of destiny introduces new mechanics which fundamentally alter the way you fight. Some paths build up powerful effects over multiple rounds, while others focus on counterattacks, elemental combos, bleeding or strong defence.
Each talent tree opens up new strategies and ensures that each path of destiny is a unique gaming experience.
Ley Energy and Talent Trees
While your path of destiny is active, you earn Ley Energy via missions. These allow you to gradually unlock up to 20 Ley Echoes per path of destiny which you can apply in your talent tree. Previously spent points can be reset and reassigned for free at any time.
Each path of destiny progresses independently. Progress is only ever made for the currently active path of destiny and cannot be transferred to another. Each talent tree also has three universal talents which are independent of the chosen path of destiny:
- +50% Silver from Missions
- +20% EP from Missions
- -50% Silver Costs for Attributes
Paths of destiny are thus not only worthwhile in combat, but help your overall game progress during the event.
Two Rankings – Twice the Chance of Glory
All the Ley Energy you earn counts towards the new event highscore, where you have two options for competing against other players:
- Overall Ranking: All Ley Energy earned during the event counts towards this ranking, irrespective of the path of destiny chosen.
- Path of Destiny Ranking: Each path of destiny has its own ranking list, where you can see how you measure up only against other players on the same path, and prove that you’re the true master.
Event Rewards
Depending on your ranking, you can look forward to:
- Unique titles
- Exclusive badges
- Rubies
- Clues
- Country Estate bonuses
- Potions
If you are the best player on your path of destiny, you’ll also receive an exclusive avatar for your path – a reward only available via the specific path of destiny rankings.
Fading Echoes
The Echoes of Steel event is only active for a limited time. Once the convergence of the Ley Lines ends, the paths of destiny will disappear with it. Your progress, talent trees and Ley Energy dissipate along with the fading echoes.
All that remains are your achievements, your ranking, and the memory that for a brief time you could feel the power of the ancient masters. And who knows when the paths of destiny will be available to walk once more...
Enjoy the event!
