New Features List of Dragonica Online: Veil of Darkness (v1.1)

Dragonica Online: Veil of Darkness
v1.1 New Feature List


Veil of Darkness Storyline
  • The land of Drakos in the northwestern reaches of Angrakka, the continent of chaos, has been enveloped in an unnatural purple mist. Word of the impenetrable violet haze has traveled across the world of Dragonica. At first told in hushed voices behind clenched teeth along quiet mountain paths, talk of its perilous gloom now fills the busy streets of Port of the Winds. As fear gives way to panic, two questions grip the populace: what is the source of the disturbance and what does it portend? The foul fog's influence is spreading and the good people of Dragonica are on their guard, counting the days since this shroud of shadows, this veil of darkness descended.
  • Many NPCs in towns will reference this event when selecting “Conversation” with them.

Increased Level Cap
  • The maximum level has been increased to 65.

New Quests
  • Over 40 new quests including new rare monster quests.

Improved Dungeon Bosses
  • Updated hit point and attack power amounts for all dungeon bosses.

New Pet System
  • Three different types of pets, Birdy, Puppy and Kitty, can be earned from Pet Sellers Amy and Edith by completing quests at level 20, 30, and 40. When equipped, these pets provide gameplay bonuses. Pets will require [Pet Food] regularly lest they grow exhausted and cease to assist you!
  • The Pet System will continue to develop over the course of upcoming content updates.

Emporia War 2.0
  • The top eight guilds that bid Guild Points for the right to challenge the guild that owns Emporia will now fight each other in a series of seven bracketed matches. The guild that wins these challenger matches earns the opportunity to fight the Emporia-owning guild in a final showdown. Add updated fighting areas and Emporia fight rules for a wholly reimagined guild-versus-guild tournament.

Advanced Crafting System
  • Items can now be enchanted up to +20. Enhanced graphic effects are added to the item after enchanting beyond +15. Also introduced are [Reinforced Insurance Scroll] items which protect the target items of your crafting from +15 to +20.

  • Recall Cards: Cash Shop items that allow players to save their location in any Field Map.

Improved Mission Map System

New Function for Gada Coins
