The Flesh Harvest
Patch 4.1 see even more of the Sharval Wilds. We’ve already seen Darkened Glade, Moonlight Highland, Village of Orthrup, and the Town of Highfork… Now we will see two new pieces of the Sharval Wilds, the Boil of Creation and the Wicker Fields.
Same OWF events in these new zones and a new World Event: Chasing a corrupted Fae. The story picks up the where Prince of Freedom left off. Albrecht’s influence on the Hive turns it in to a Shardborne infested Boil of Creation.
This patch we will uncover the first of many Shardborne monster families: Boilburn
Boil of Creation

Improvements to Shadow War – PvP
Improved matchmaking in Shadow War, more competitive battle… Top 10 getting pit against top10 clans, and mid ranged clans getting pit against one another. No more wars, where clans are going against single opponents, or getting ghosted altogether

Revamped Ranking system will offer more ways to earn experience and additional rewards.
Reword of Shadow Contract, to make more rewarding and faster to complete.
