Sunrise - PTS Patch Notes
We’re pleased to introduce the Sunrise patch to all of our players, introducing a new class (Solarion), a new biome (Sundered Uplands), a new difficulty rank (Uber-11) to challenge everyone, and, of course, new rewards in the form of Crystal Gems.
When introducing Crystal Gems, we wanted to be respectful of the time players have already invested in their existing gems – no one wants to throw away all of the time and resources they’ve put into getting a perfectly stacked Gem! As a result, we’ve introduced a way for players to upgrade existing Max Level Stellar Gems into Crystal Gems, retaining their stats and bonuses.
We’re very excited for everyone to get to see the new biome and play with the Solarion – so excited that we’re releasing this patch to PTS a little early! Please excuse our dust as we finish hooking up some features, and as always be aware that everything on PTS is subject to change. Thanks for playing and we look forward to hearing your feedback!
Solarion
- Solarions, as servants of the Sun Goddess, work together with their phoenix in order to distribute Damage over Time Effects and deal out physical damage. Solarions use bows to shoot their enemies while the phoenix rushes into melee to deliver bows. Solarions are really fired up!
- Solarion can be obtained through crafting on the Chaos Crafter, the Sundered Uplands Workbench, or one of the Solarion packs.
- The Solarion class cannot be obtained through Class Coins or the Sweet Sixteen Pack.
- The Nocturnal Nighthawk costume has been added to the Shadowy Workbench for 4 Despoiled Divinity.

Hidden Effects |
|
Sundered Uplands
- A new biome has been added. Available as soon as U-1 Adventure Worlds but primarily found in U-7 Adventure Worlds, the Sundered Uplands have distinct upper and lower levels.
- In addition to their biome-wide Flight Suppression Field, through reckless exploitation of the world around them, the Irradiant Sky Giants have empowered both themselves and the Ashen creatures arising from their fallout. Creatures in the Sundered Uplands are significantly more difficult when compared to neighboring biomes. Players will have to utilize all the extra consumables available to overcome this difficulty!
- Explore the somber Ashen Wastes, fighting enemies left behind by the Irradiant Sky Giants in their pursuit to steal the land. Mind the blastflowers and defeat Ashen Devourers for special rewards.
- Rise to the heights of the Uplands, fighting the Irradiant Sky Giants and their minions in pursuit of treasure. Watch out for the boots and mines looking to kick any players back down to the surface.
- Dungeons can appear in both the Ashen Wastes and the heights of the Uplands. The compass and map have been updated to show an up or down arrow to indicate their location.
- Outposts can appear throughout the Sundered Uplands. These outposts provide Personal Chests, Flask Refillers, Loot Collectors, Fungi Adventures, and a variety of merchants.
Fungus Scrollpeddlers (Consumable Scrolls)
Fungus Scrollpeddlers appear in outposts within the Ashen Wastes. For the price of Ashfern Sporelings or Cubits, players can now purchase consumable scrolls which grant buffs within the Sundered Uplands. These effects will count down even while the player is offline.
The following scrolls are available:
- Freedom of Flight
- This temporarily removes the Flight Suppression Field present in Sundered Uplands, allowing players to use any mount or wings with full effectiveness.
- This scroll stacks with all other scrolls.
- These scrolls are always available at landing pads in the Sundered Uplands.
- Physical Damage++/Magical Damage++
- When fighting in Sundered Uplands, these occasionally create Physical Damage or Magic Damage buffs which increase the relevant damage by 75% for a short duration.
- These scrolls will not stack with each other.
- Misc
- There are several of these scrolls available, including scrolls that give +50 Jump, reduce incoming damage by 15%, or even +resource collection scrolls.
- Players can only have one of these “Misc” scrolls active at a time, and they all only apply to Sundered Uplands.
- Different versions of these scrolls are available. Bronze scrolls will last for 1 hour, Silver scrolls will last for 1 day, and Gold scrolls will last for 3 days.
- The effects of scrolls can replace each other, but only at the same rarity or higher. A Silver Scroll can replace another Silver or Bronze Scroll, but cannot replace a Gold Scroll.
- Fungi Recipetakers spawn in the heights of the Uplands outposts, trading in either Ashen or Irradiant scrolls for other goods, including limited amounts of Sundercharge Crystals.
- Fungi Thingshapers spawn in outposts across the Sundered Uplands, trading in Ashen Sporelings for other goods.
- While inside the Sundered Uplands, flight is affected by the gravity technology of the Irradiant Giants, causing gliding distance to be reduced. This effect increases in higher Uber worlds, and can be overcome by using Freedom of Flight scrolls or using wings or a flying mount crafted from the Sundered Uplands Workbench.
- Explore the Ashen Wastes to find new resources, including Ashfern Sporelings, Unnatural Devices, and Emberslag Ore, while the heights of the Uplands contain Irradiant Powercells and Irradiant Ore.
- Like most creatures, enemies in Sundered Uplands will rarely drop Trophies. These Trophies can be composted in order to acquire Ashen Souls or Irradiant Souls. These souls are used for crafting on the Sundered Uplands Workbench.
- A new invader replaces the Shadow Giant inside the Sundered Uplands.
5 Star Dungeons
(Ongoing work in progress – 5 star dungeons are not spawning yet) 5 star dungeons appear in the Sundered Uplands.
- These 5 star dungeons can be completed once per day for gold results, twice per day for silver results, and an unlimited number of times for bronze results. Gold and Silver reward Sundercharge Crystals, while Bronze rewards something repeatable.
Defeat the new waves of enemies mechanics in order to face one of the new bosses:
- Watt, Son of Stars has arrived to challenge the would-be champions of Trove.
- Dream Bro has gotten an upgrade and returned with his Frost Bro and Fire Bro brothers to guard the Sundercharge Crystals with their lives.
Sundered Uplands Workbench
The Sundered Uplands Workbench can be found on Outposts and allows players to craft collectables as well as useful items for the biome. Sundercharged Crystals can also be donated at this workbench.
- A terraformer for Sundered Uplands can be crafted at the Wheel of Seasons and the Sundered Uplands Workbench.
- (Ongoing work in progress) New styles, recipes, and decorations have been introduced and can be obtained from Sundered Uplands.
- (Ongoing work in progress – dragon fragments are not yet available) Four new dragons can be acquired in the Sundered Uplands:
- Raymon the Ever-Puffed is a new Legendary Dragon and can be obtained through the dragon effigy or dragon fragments.
- Behrne, the Lurking Fiend is a new Legendary Dragon and can be obtained through the dragon effigy or dragon fragments.
- Ariel, the Ashen Reborn is a new Ancestral Dragon.
- Dragon Fragments for Ariel can be obtained through Sundered Uplands.
- Zeuztian, the Eternal Irradiance is a new Ancestral Dragon.
- Dragon Fragments for Zeuztian can be obtained through Sundered Uplands.
Crystal Gems
- Crystal Gems can now be found in Uber-11 worlds and have a maximum level of 30.
- Max level Stellar Gems can be upgraded into Crystal Gems by using a Crystal Gem Converter from the Gems tab in the character sheet.
- Crystal Gem Converters can be purchased from the store for 1,500 credits or 15,000 cubits. Alternatively they can be crafted at the Sundered Uplands Workbench or Adventurer’s Workbench.
- Stellar Gems converted to Crystal Gems retain their power – a gem converted in this way will immediately become a Level 25 Crystal Gem. They will retain existing stat bumps and any applied focuses. A Gem with applied focuses will retain the increases granted by those focuses.
- Leveling Crystal Gems will require new materials in the form of Gem Sparks. These can be crafted from Gem Dust on the Adventurer’s Workbench or the Sundered Uplands Workbench.
- New Crystal Empowered Gem Boxes can be constructed on the Adventurer’s Workbench or the Sundered Uplands Workbench.
- Shores of the Everdark now drops Radiant and Stellar Class Gems in Uber-8, while Stellar and Crystal Class Gems come from Uber-9.
- New Gem boxes can be found in Uber-10 and Uber-11. Uber-10 boxes drop stellar gems and dust. Uber-11 gem boxes have a rare chance to drop Crystal Gems and Gem Sparks which are needed for gem crafting.
Uber 11 Worlds
- The generic “Uber 7” portal is now a “Sundered Uplands (Uber-7) World” portal.
- Many additional Uber portals have been added to the Builder’s Crafting Bench, including Uber-11 World, Drowned (Uber-11) World, Cursed Skylands (Uber-11) World, and Igneous Islands (Uber-11) World.
- Crystal 4 gear can drop from 5 Star Dungeons in Uber-11 Geode Topside and Prime Worlds.
- Leviathan’s Lairs in Uber 11 Geode Topside will spawn a random Leviathan that can also drop any Leviathan’s loot.
- Beginning in Uber-10, all adventure worlds now benefit from Light. Geode Topside worlds still give benefits for Light starting at Uber-8.
Atlas Updates
- The Atlas map has been adjusted to include Sundered Uplands (Uber-7) World.
- Elemental Worlds and Prime Worlds now only have one node on the Atlas.
- Instead of highlighting individual nodes, players use a dropdown to determine what Uber Level the player wishes to travel to.
- This dropdown defaults to the highest difficulty the user can access.
