Book 1 Revisited: Beach Vacation Invasion!
Hey there, heroes!

This week, we're back to the Book 1 Revisited project with the entire Beach Vacation Invasion!

[image]https://cms.battleon.com/DF/images/2026-01-16-BeachWarDN.png[/image]

The entire Beach War questline has been combined into one long quest, with updated story and a new special reward!

If you're not caught up on the story yet, Ash in Falconreach will now direct you to Aika Village! There, you'll find Sir Ano... and he's ready to relax if you are! Unless, of course, the beach were to come under attack by mysterious monsters!

If you can defend Aika from the combined forces of Xan and the Necromantress, you'll earn a new Trinket that has exclusive skill effects for each base class!

The old rare Beach War rewards have also been moved into a shop in Aika Village, available for gold.

You can also now access Aika Village form the south gate of Willowshire! (Unfortunately we haven't had time to add the connecting path. It's low priority for right now, but should happen eventually!)

Head over to Aika Village and find Sir Ano to play this month's Book 1 Revisited release: The Beach Vacation Invasion!



Also this week, we have a new cosmetic weapon available for Dragon Coins!

Mathcing the previous Warpfire cosmetics, the Warpfire Harvester scythe can be yours for 400 Dragon Coins from teh DC Cosmetics shop!



And that's all for this week!

Weekend Hotfix Jan 17, 2026
Hey there heroes, some quick bugfixes/updates!
  • Fixed an issue where new players could see a bunch of quests from Ash before they were supposed to after beating Undead Assault.
  • Fixed an issue where completing the Beach Invasion quest may not properly progress your character. You'll have to beat it again to progress, sorry!
  • Fixed an issue where the Flying Eyeball and Deadwood still pulled out hockey masks in their animations.
  • The Voyager's Charm trinket now works with Shadow base classes and Ancient Shadow base classes.

I know these updates are going to go underappreciated, but this was a really nice change. Before the whole plot point was really jarring for a new/returning player, you'd just go down the timeline, hit a war event that already has everything unlocked, and then you'd have to choose to fight a wave for no reason to know what they're even talking about, if you even notice that they're light-aligned monsters.

This gets the point across better, sets up the Necromantress, and still doesn't outlive its welcome. I feel like they honestly did a good job with this one.
