Happy Winterfest, knights! Have you been naughty this year, or nice?

If you don't want to answer that question, we respect that. Regardless, we have some treats for you!

Grinchlin Assault Prestige Mission

Changes:

- Added a mini boss battle to the end of the crash site
- Monsters will now drop Attack Boosters, Defense Boosters and Speed Boosters. They each grant a small boost, but will not stack. Picking up a boost while already boosted will reset the boost timer.
- Added an improved walkthrough for the Time to Get Crafty mission
- Added a guided tour of the Advanced Training Hall to the Pumping Up mission
- Added an icon to the ingredients panel to show when a material can be found in the clockworks
- Sparks of Life can now be used for a quicker revive in PvP

Hello, knights! In October, we announced the Gunner Update and estimated we would be releasing it in November. We are now targeting January for this release.

Thanks for your continued patience while the team works on it. The Gunner Update is a big deal to us, and we're as excited as you are to see it go live.

Through November 18, 2013, Kozma will be holding flash sales in the Supply Depot! Check the Supply Depot often, as the offerings may rotate several times a day. Happy bargain hunting!

As the Dark Harvest Festival came to a close, some players missed the opportunity to acquire Dark Harvest prizes with their candy tokens as a result of the patch notes and description of the tooltips for candy tokens not aligning.

Because of this, we will be extending Maskwell and Bulky's stay in the Haven Town Square as well as redistributing all the candy tokens you had at the time they expired on November 5th.

Bugfixes
- Fixed searching for certain items in the auction house.
- Fixed the HUD in guild hall design mode.
- Special items in recipes now show their full name.
- Talking to Kozma will now select "Specials" in the supply depot.
- Rapidly dismissing the transmute dialog won't break the variant dialog.
- Activating the light puzzle in the wrong order in Shadow of the Apocrea now causes damage.

Shroud of the Apocrea
The results we've seen from players tackling the Shroud of the Apocrea mission have been most impressive! So much so that we feel it necessary to adjust the difficulty and payouts of the mission. The following changes have been made to the mission:
- The Shroud of the Apocrea mission is now fully replayable. Completing it will not affect your ability to start the mission again in the same day. Unlimited death in the dark abyss for all!

In the deep dark below, beyond the space where time wakens and yawns, beyond the shadows cast by the great leviathan of eternity, the Apocrea stir. Within cities where geometry and madness share meaning, constructed from thought, from unnatural impulse, the Apocrea dream dark machines into being.
