Frostval 2024: The Storm of Stars!

Hey there. heroes!

This year's Frostval celebrations are nearly upon us! As you prepare to bundle up a big bag of gifts to bring up to the moglin town of Frostvale, a surprising visitor arrives with chilling news!



A massive gliterring blizzard has swept up around Frostvale, and it's up to you to get to the heart of it! A happy Frostval depends on your efforts! Hurry over and fight your way to the storm's heart in this holiday war event!

You can access the Storm of Stars war from the Book of Lore!

There has also been another round of adjustments and updates to ShadowHunter, as well as a change to a few powerful food items.

ShadowHunter:

Hunter Combo duration reduced by 1 turn.

Combo skill damage reduced from 120/180/250% to 120/150/200%.

Mortalbane CD increased from 5 to 6.

Shadowbane CD increased from 5 to 7.

Finisher's damage scaling reduced. 3 Combo stacks now grants 150% base damage, down from 200% (200/250/300/350% down from 200/250/300/400%)

Focused Hunt no longer increases crit damage modifier by 20%.

Final Draught now requires being below 25% of maximum HP, and gives +100 Health resistance. Now it's really final!

ShadowHunter's Bane icons have been adjusted, as well as bullet outline colors on the widget. This should make it easier to tell which bullet corresponds to which Bane skill at a glance.

Fixed an issue where Symone required you to have at least 10 Bloody Monster Hearts to unlock the class, even though she would only consume 1.

Test of Meanwhile Challenge:

Chronocorruptor's +Cooldown attack now must land at least 1 hit in order to increase cooldowns.

Healing Food changes:

Rotten Hardtack and Seaweed now apply Stuffed for 31 turns, and their healing has been changed to Level * 10 HP, ignoring Health resistance (Positive and negative), down from 9999999 HP.

Cocoaberry Juice now applies a Level * 3 Heal Over Time effect for 3 turns, ignoring Health resistance, rather than 10% max HP for 10 turns.

Instant Pierogi now applies a Level + 10 Mana Recovery Over Time effect for 3 turns, rather than 10% max MP for 10 turns.

As always, these changes and adjsutments are up to feedback! ShadowHunter is nearly in the perfect spot, so hopefully there won't be too many more balance adjustments needed for it. Regarding the changes to healing food,

these changes should allow them to still stay strong and useful healing items in a pinch while preventing them from effectively tripling your HP for free. Still, as always with nerfs, I'm sure there will be some who oppose this

change. So to repeat, things are always subject to change. As DragonFable is ever-evolving, nothing need ever be final.

spoiler:

Man, Blizzy really did just walk all the way from Frostvale to Falconreach just to give us the news. What a champ!

Now that I think about, I don't think I've ever seen a moglin run before. Which actually makes sense considering their apparent lack of knees.

spoiler:

Hooray, Moroz has been hatched -- er, thawed.

spoiler:

Wasn't expecting an ice mech-suite! Jacek certainly has the potential to be one heckuva cryomancer one day. Might even give Jaania a run for her money.

And it's good to finally have Moroz back! To think he's been frozen ever since Frallmar attacked years ago now. Also wasn't expecting Jacek's powers manifesting his fear of leaving Frostvale to be the culprit, but it makes sense in retrospect. Poor kid's probably never felt at home anywhere until he and Moroz came to Frostvale.

spoiler:

First, I'm glad to see Moroz finally being revived! It took six years, so it's good to finally get some closure on it!

Secondly, Jacek being the "culprit" was a neat twist, instead of having it be random holiday villain #415432.
