ear players,

The Store now features a weekly rotating selection of outfits with a promoted discount you can reroll, 19+ new outfits were added, Numpad Enter works like Enter across the client, and you can no longer equip more than one quiver at once.

Store & Outfits

• Weekly Outfit Rotation: The Outfits category now highlights a weekly rotation of offers. One outfit is marked as promoted with a discount, and the Store shows a live countdown for when the selection refreshes.
• Reroll the promoted pick: A new reroll action lets you reshuffle the promoted outfit for the current week. The promotion discount starts higher and may step down with each reroll, but won’t go below a small minimum. Rerolls reset with the weekly rotation.
• Promo bundle support: When an outfit is promoted, you can purchase a discounted bundle that covers the base outfit and enabled addons in one go. If you already own parts, you pay only for what’s missing.
• New outfits available: 19 outfits were added, including Owl Keeper, Citizen of the Dunes, Void Master, Lion of War, Champion, Conjurer, Chaos Acolyte, Death Herald, Spirit Caller, Winter Warden, Philosopher, Grove Keeper, Festive, Pharaoh, Siege Master, Mercenary, Sinister Archer, Dream Warrior, and Percht Raider.

Controls & UI

• Numpad Enter equals Enter: Pressing Numpad Enter now behaves exactly like Enter throughout the client. This includes confirming dialogs, submitting text fields (such as search inputs), and adding new lines in multi‑line text boxes.

Equipment

• Quiver rule: You can no longer equip more than one quiver at the same time across your hands and ammo slots. If you already have a quiver equipped, equipping another will be blocked.

Kind regards,
Retronia

ear players,

The Gatekeeper now supports a permanent Rookstayer path, a promotion route to Rookwarden, and Rookwardens can learn and cast the Light (utevo lux) spell.

Rookstayer path at The Gatekeeper NPC

• You can now commit to Rookgaard as a Rookstayer via The Gatekeeper.

• Rookstayers can promote to Rookwarden through The Gatekeeper.
• Promotion checks include a minimum level, a fee, and may require premium status.

• Rookwardens can now learn and cast Light (utevo lux).

Getting started

• Talk to The Gatekeeper to choose your path or to check your eligibility for promotion.
• Review the requirements in-game and confirm carefully—these choices are irreversible.

Kind regards,
Retronia

ear players,

For the next server save, we have implemented the following fixes:

Movement and chasing

• Recent follow/chase enhancement changes on the client and server have been reverted, returning the movement system to its previous behavior to stabilize the walk and eliminate post-staircase stuttering while the enhancement is reevaluated.

Login and protocol

• Fixed a login issue where some characters on the same account could fail to log in due to a device verification error; the client/server fingerprint system has been adjusted to work correctly regardless of the character name.

Kind regards,
Retronia

ear players,

Start and watch live Casts with a new Spectators channel, see clearer connection health in the UI, face the Gelidras raid, and enjoy several balance and reward improvements.

New: Cast and Spectators

• New Cast window on the side panel: start a Cast with a title and optional password so others can watch your gameplay.
• Browse and watch available Casts from within the client. If a Cast is password-protected, you’ll be prompted before joining.
• A dedicated Spectators chat channel opens while you are casting or watching, so viewers and the caster can talk without cluttering other channels.

Connection Health UI

• Ping now shows a clear state: Stable (green), Unstable (yellow), or Packet Loss (red), based on latency and heartbeat loss.
• The ping display also shows your current ms value and updates more reliably across different connection setups.

New Raid: Gelidras

• A new world raid featuring Gelidras has been added. Stay alert for announcements and be ready to engage when it appears.

Lag-Death Protection Rules

• Lag-Death protection no longer applies to PvP situations. It only considers eligible PvE deaths (e.g., caused by monsters), tightening the system to prevent abuse.

Visual Polish

• The outfit selection window has been improved, enhancing not only the visual aspect but also correcting some inconsistencies in its use.

Kind regards,
Retronia

Exercise Weapons

Training Weapons for Melee, Distance, Wand and Shield have arrived in the Store!
Store training weapons (Exercise, Durable and Lasting) mainly differ by their number of charges (500, 1800 and 14400).

Each charge grants a fixed amount of training progress:

• For melee weapons (sword/axe/club), each charge equals 7.2 hits
• For spears, each charge equals 2.16 blood hits or 4.32 miss hits
• For wand/rod, each charge equals 100 mana spent
• For shield, each charge equals 14.4 blocks

To use it, equip the weapon and activate it on an Exercise Dummy (melee at 1 sqm, distance/wand up to 4 sqm, and shield by blocking hits from creatures). The character will not log out due to AFK during training. Training stops if you perform a normal attack, switch targets, unequip the weapon, move out of range, or run out of charges. Each store offer also displays the required vocation and skill level in the description.

Daily Rewards: Day 7 can grant a training weapon with 50 charges, for characters above level 20.

Golden Exercise Dummy Ticket

The new Golden Exercise Dummy Ticket is a premium version of the regular ticket. Its main difference is that it provides 10% more training efficiency compared to the normal ticket.

Dummy Skins

A new category called Dummy Skins has been added to the Store, allowing players to visually customize their training dummies. You can unlock skins such as Scout and Royal to use with the Exercise Dummy Ticket and the Golden Exercise Dummy Ticket.

To change your Dummy Skin after purchase, simply right-click your summoned dummy and select "Set Dummy Skin".

Creatures

• Maggot: XP 88 → 60.
• Slug: XP 80 → 60 and behavior adjustments.
• Menace Tortoise: XP 1130 → 120 | HP 2585 → 360 | plus an overall revision of strength and resistances for better balance.

Map and spawns: creature redistribution in affected areas, providing more hunting route variety and improved respawn flow.

These creature adjustments make hunts more balanced, fair, and enjoyable!

The adjusted Menace Tortoise spawn is now aimed at low/mid-level characters, so prepare for the hunt!

Retronia Client

Item Charges and Duration Visualization

The new charge visualization in the client UI makes managing your consumables much clearer during gameplay. You can now easily see how many charges remain on items such as runes and training weapons, as well as track duration and usage cycles without needing to manually check the inventory.

In practice, this reduces mistakes, prevents resource waste, and helps with decision-making during hunts, training, and PvP, since you always know when an item is about to run out.

Food Time

The new Food indicator in the skills window makes it easier to track your character’s condition in real time, clearly showing whether your character is currently fed.

Retronia Wiki - Website

ear players,

We’re excited to introduce a series of updates that improve the gameplay experience, with a special focus on loot mechanics and interactions with Elite creatures.

Elites & Surprise Bag
More impact, clear progression, and rewards you can feel instantly, without harming the server’s economy.

ear players,

We want to wish a Merry Christmas to everyone who is part of Retronia.

Thank you to every player who has been with us throughout the year: playing, testing, giving feedback, inviting friends, and helping the server evolve. None of this would exist without the community.

We hope this end of the year is a time for rest, to be close to those you love, and to recharge your energies. Retronia remains active during this period, with events running normally, but real life always comes first.

In 2026, we remain committed to improving the server, delivering new content, and maintaining the experience you chose to play.

Thank you for all the support and trust in the best community there is!

Happy holidays and a wonderful Christmas to all!

Sincerely,
Luanzera
