The following changes are now live on Ywain!


Ruined Keeps


For a limited time, the merchant keeps of Caer Benowyc in Hadrian's Wall in Albion, Bledmeer Faste in Odin's Gate in Midgard, and Dun Crauchon in Emain Macha in Hibernia will revert to their 'ruined' state and will feature the following temporary changes:

  • Keep walls will remain destroyed keep gates and postern doors will remain open Guards and other keep NPCs will not spawn
  • The Protection Obelisk will be disabled and unavailable
  • Solo quest objectives have returned to the keep areas


Port Keep Changes


The following keeps are now temporarily portable for home realms by clicking or saying "go" at the teleport obelisk in the relic towns:

  • Albion: Caer Berkstead
  • Hibernia: Dun Crimthainn
  • Midgard: Nottmoor Faste


Protection Obelisk Changes


The following changes will apply to the Mason and Protection Obelisk:

  • Keep upgrade tokens to level 5 and level 9 will now only be usable on home realm owned keeps
  • The Protection buff is now a flat 35% buff regardless of relic or keep ownership status
    • Note: we are looking at ways to make this more dynamic going forward
