A Home Above the World
⛰ Patch 4.1 — Skyhold
July 2026
« All Patches
The Sky has been conquered, charted, and mined. Now it can be owned. Patch 4.1 lets a guild raise its own floating island out of the void — a real place on the sky map, flying your colours, growing with your coffers, and working for every member of the banner.
⛰ The Skyhold
Raise your guild’s island New

A Guild Master with a Tier 1+ Guild Hall may found a Skyhold for 500,000,000 gold, 500 Cloud Silk and 250 Aether Crystal — and the island rises onto the Guild Shelf, the band of open sky beneath Skymoor. It is a real tile on the sky map, gleaming gold for the whole realm to see, and the founding is announced to all of Crystaria. Members Skyfare home from any Sky Anchor; outsiders find only humming wards.

Found and manage it under Social → Skyhold.

Six buildings, three tiers each

Every building is bought with gold and sky gathering materials — the Sky’s Cloud Silk, Star Shards and Sun-Metal finally have a guild-sized purpose.

The Beacon must be fed

The Spire’s guild-wide bonus only flows while the Beacon burns — any member can stoke it (5× Cloud Silk buys six hours, banked up to a week). A guild that gathers together, burns together. When it goes dark, the whole banner knows whose turn it was.

The Watchpost sees everything

An intel dashboard on your own island: live rare-spawn locations, the World Boss’s remaining strength, and at its highest tier the Blight Tide reading and the Labyrinth’s deepest delvers. Plan the guild’s evening from your own front porch.

★ Relics & Fixes
Ultimate relic sets gain their Feet piece New

Every dungeon’s Ultimate difficulty now drops a fifth signature relic — a Boots piece (“Sabatons of the Crystal Spire” and kin) with Strength as its primary stat, completing the spread: Body carries Spirit, Head Intelligence, Legs Dexterity, Feet Strength.

The armour is now a true 4-piece set: any 3 pieces worn grant +10% to all stats, all 4 grant +20%. The Collection ledger, profile counters and Collection achievements all track the new totals — 324 armour pieces across the realm’s 81 dungeons.

Skypirate & Astromancer now selectable on every account Fix

Accounts created before Patch 4.0 never received the two sky classes in their login Select Class picker — the classes existed, but older accounts were missing the character rows behind them. Every account now has all classes available at login.

The Continuum era, in brief

Combat 2.0 “Continuum” — the damage engine was rebuilt: no caps, no floors, every point of every stat always matters, in PvE and PvP alike. Spellcraft was re-tempered so casters win by reading the fight — elements, Signs and Resonance — not by default. Levelling Momentum now caps at ×5. Every dungeon’s Ultimate difficulty drops signature Unique relic sets — track them all in Character → Collection — and two dozen new achievements cover the Labyrinth’s depths, the relic hunt, and the long road to level 10,000.
