These are the patch notes for today's patch. We apologize for the delay today. We were experiencing issues with our build machines and it was touch-and-go whether it would go out today or if we would need to hold it for Monday. It seems to be fixed now, so we should be fine for today.
In today's patch we have major changes to Villages and the new Primalist School, as well as Elementalist and Primalist changes, along with several other important updates.
Village Requisitioning
- Village capture/ownership is no longer restricted to clans who own territorial holdings, all clans can now capture any vulnerable village control-point.
- Village reward generation/retrieval, for both owner clans and players wishing to "steal" rewards, is now done through a single unified system... Requisitioning!
- Requisition crystals (required to craft requisition gauntlets) can drop from the following monsters:
- Kobold Strongman
- Goblin Warlord
- Ogre Bully
- Hobgoblin Officer
- Black Knight
- Shadow Knight
- Globules of Greed (required to power requisition gauntlets) can drop from all Bandit monsters

NEW Primalist school (Chaos)
Chaos has descended upon Agon! These powers of pandemonium, available to any primalists with a penchant for discord, will bring a significant dose of mayhem to the field of battle! With a plethora of entropic tools at their disposal, Chaos Primalists specialize in disrupting, relocating, and general face-melting any foes foolish enough to face them.
- Bolt of Bedlam - A fast-speeding, long-range bolt of randomized pain! Pure, chaotic, chance decides the type of damage you shall deal.
- Seizure - None can resist the lure of chaos. Targets up to a medium range away within a cone shaped area will be grabbed and drawn towards you!
- Havoc Blast - Blast anything in front of you, be it foe, friend or even the ground itself, with unholy damage and a very powerful push-back. Screenshot
- Soul Flay - Soufflé your victims soul! On a dying foe, this spell can gank and send them into oblivion! The spell damages a living foe and you will gain health every time your target deals damage for the duration. Screenshot
- Pall of Pandemonium (Ultimate) - A miasma of pure chaos boils out of the ground where you target this spell. All within will find their school skills ineffective, their vision blocked, and will suffer unholy damage over time. You will harvest their pain and reap the rewards as health!
