Book 3: Convergence - The Final Steps
Hey there, heroes!

Happy Lunar New Year! This week in DragonFable, we take another step into the Fissure, as Book 3's main story continues with The Final Steps!

Having fought your way through the Rose encampment, you and your allies now stand at the precipice of the Fissure itself. The Rose's haphazard Scaffold awaits.

But as you descend, Jaania and Akanthus's plans are falling into place...

Head over to Outpost Yeden to play this week's release: The Final Steps!

Also this week, some bug fixes and updates. (Don't forget to clear your cache!)

• Added a safeguard for the Sulen'Eska spawn bug. (Still unsure of why the bug happens/inconsistent to replicate)
  
• Base Mage/Warrior/Rogue tooltips have been updated.
  
• Known Epoch and DragonLord tooltips issues have been resolved.
  
• Base Mage/Warrior/Rogue Attack now recovers 15 MP.
  
• Mage's Meditate skill now recovers 30% MP.

And that's all for this week! Have a safe and prosperous year, everyone!

Warlic's theory on the Fissure's effects was certainly interesting. It makes sense given that those Elementals we fight on the way down weren't Entangled in any way, though they are unbound, and I believe the only other place we find Unbound Elementals is the Exaltia Tower which makes enough sense I think. Could it be that the 'pressure' that the Mana from the Fissure exerts on elementally neutral beings is an early form of Entanglement? That is to say, their soulthreads are pulled and twisted due to such exposure to the Mana Core? That Mana Elemental is a most perplexing case of Entanglement though; a being composed of raw mana sporting draconic features as a result of being Entangled... perhaps the closer a being's nature is to Mana itself, the more easily its form is twisted to resemble the Mana Core... or simply the shape of Lore itself...

Uh, so I guess this one gave me a lot to puzzle over. I'm sure Jaania will stumble onto some revelations when she tries to usurp the Mana Core.

Regarding our branding as a CW in the eyes of the Magesters, it's not because of our interactions with Secundus. It is because of a currently obscure canon lore (by obscure, only those who have a good depth of reading of the DF Forum Encyclopedia, in this case its class entry) regarding what defines a SW. In a nutshell, our hero is considered a CW due to us using the Weaving art in combat, something that should only be the benefit of the headmaster.
