The Vanguardian is the hero we deserve. Rising up against the forces of shadow she is a stalwart protector of the innocent and a fierce warrior of the light.

Whether you prefer to keep your foes at a distance and pepper them with powerful energy blasts or get up in their grills and unleash fists of fury, the Vanguardian packs a powerful wallop.

Passive

• Touchdown – Gliding supercharges the Vanguardian. This charge is released when landing causing a shockwave that destroys blocks in the open world. In an effort to be a good clubmate this ability doesn’t trigger in Club Worlds.

Ranged Mode

• Mouse 1: Rapid fire energy orbs are unleashed from the Vanguardian’s hands.
  
• Mouse 2: Plasma Blast – Fire a ball of pure energy that explodes on impact and deals AoE damage.
  
• 1: Fired Up – A self-buff that increases damage and attack speed.
  
• 2: Hero’s Charge – This skill triggers a dash forward and a self-heal. It also swaps the Vanguardian into Melee mode.

Melee Mode

• Mouse 1: Pummel enemies with powerful punches.
  
  
• Mouse 2: Eyebeam – A high powered blast of energy is fired from the Vanguardian’s eyes doing damage and increasing damage done to the target from any source.
  
• 1: Force Flash – An AoE kinetic energy pulse that damages nearby enemies, buffs your movement speed, and increases your damage resistance.
  
• 2: Laser Leap – Leap backwards, get a big burst of energy, and swaps back into ranged mode.

She is a physical damage class regardless of whether you prefer melee or ranged combat so you won’t need to swap gear to reach peak power.

We’re thrilled to add a new weapon style for the Vanguardian: fist weapons. These come in many shapes and sizes including brass knuckles, long-bladed knives, or giant foam fingers.

As our first “expert class” the Vanguardian is taller than other Trovians and has a more fluid set of animations whether you’re fighting, gliding, dancing, dashing, or dabbing.

She can be crafted for free using in-game materials at the Resistor Workbench or picked up with a pack available in the Trove Store when Heroes goes live. The Vanguardian cannot be unlocked using a Class Coin.

Special thanks to the incredibly talented @ArtByCelyne for this gorgeous interpretation of Trove's newest hero!

When Trove – Heroes is unleashed upon the world the Vanguardian will rise up to answer the call to action – are you ready?

Adventures Window

• The Adventures Window is a consolidated place to view all available Adventures (formerly known as the golden thread). Press the Menu button on XB1, the Options Button on PS4, or the “I” key on PC to access it.
• Choose what to show in the HUD: Club Adventures, Event Adventures, or Expertise Adventures. Even control whether to see the Star Bar or Tomes Bar.
• All new players who hit character level 8 will gain a new series of Expertise Adventures teaching them how to build, bomb, collect recipes, craft, place Frameworks, create Workbenches, and more. Older players will also receive these Adventures.
• The option to hide challenges and objectives has been moved out of settings and can now be found in the Adventures Window.

Frameworks

• Framework recipes have been added to the Workbench, Forbidden Workbench, Haunted Workbench, Candy Workbench, Store, and Mastery Rewards. These new recipes allow players to craft and place entire structures in their Club World.
• The Forbidden Workbench now has Advanced Frameworks. These recipes have a rare chance to drop from Forbidden Spires recipe dungeons.
• The Radiant Watchtower and Shadowy Watchtower can be found in the store, each of which grant one ready to place framework and unlock the recipe.
• Once placed, these Frameworks cannot be picked up again. They can only be deconstructed into individual blocks and decorations.
• Blocks that overlap where a Framework are placed are dropped as loot.

Forbidden Spires Biome

• The Forbidden Spires, a peaceful and ancient place, has been discovered. This biome appears in low-level worlds, and is the featured biome in Uber-6.
• A new crafting material, Cinnabar, can be found in the Forbidden Spires biome.
• New Forbidden Spires decoration recipes have been added to the recipe dungeons in the biome.
• A new workbench, the Forbidden workbench, has been added to the Builder’s Crafting Bench. Craft one to craft Forbidden Spires decorations and frameworks.
• Monsters in the Forbidden Spires biome will rarely drop Fiery Feathers. Collect 100 along with other materials to craft Onbari, Empress of the Southern Skies on the Forbidden workbench.
• Panda Mounts can now be crafted on the Adventurer's Crafting Bench using Panda Talismans, which are rarely found in Uber 8 and higher adventure worlds.
• The Spire Spirits Adventure Box – containing the Frolicksome Fox Spirit and Crimson-Crested Crane mounts – can now drop from any world.

Tethering [Public Evaluation]

• Tethers are a new way for players to group up and share XP and loot. Each tether gets an icon and name, and by default these appear in nameplates and in the upper left corner of the UI.
• To create a tether, just use the Tether hotkey and look at another player to automatically invite them to a tether. The same hotkey can be used to leave an existing tether or kick another player. (Only the tether’s leader can kick a member.)
• By default, the tethering hotkey is Ctrl-E on PC. On Xbox and PS4, tethering actions can be performed by holding down the button used to switch between adventure and build mode.
• XP and loot from killing NPCs is now distributed only to individual players and members of a tether that have dealt damage to that NPC.
• Players who move 500 blocks away from the tether’s leader will automatically be kicked after 30 seconds.
• Options for Tethering can be found under Settings > Social. Tethers can be automatically rejected from all sources, automatically accepted from friends and club members, automatically accepted from anyone, or set to always manually accept or decline. The display of Tethering icons can be set to show only the player’s icon on the nameplate, everyone’s icons, or no one’s icons.
• We're aware that there may be concerns about how loot (and not experience) is distributed as a result of two different tethers competing over a lair/dungeon boss chest. In some cases, the first tether was able to disarm the chest and collect loot before any members from the secondary tether could damage the chest. Tethering is still in the "Public Evaluation" phase at the release of the Adventures expansion so it's highly likely this will change, or tethering will be removed, as a result of live feedback on this topic.

Mastery

Don't miss him - he will touch down on December 15th for the first time! Look for him in the Hub beside the Dragon Crucible.
• Chaos Chests will still contain exciting new items, as well as the backlog of previous chaotic items, and very rare “permanent rares”. But they will no longer contain items that had been given out in Events or are otherwise no longer available. Instead, Luxion of the Golden Hoard will occasionally vend such items.

Calling all Trovians!

My name is Ricky “Din Othar” White, Senior Producer for Trove, and I'm here to offer you a look at the great content the team has been preparing for you over the last months. This is literally the first time these features have been revealed and I’m delighted to let you be the first to know.

I am ecstatic to announce that Trove - Adventures, a massive free content expansion for PC, Xbox One, and PS4, will release on November 14th! Including features requested by you, the Trove community, this update evolves the expansive Trove geography, and has some very cool surprises that we know you’re going to love. This is the highly anticipated “club update” that we’ve been hinting at, so let’s take a deeper look at what it brings to the table!

Clubs and Adventures
Clubs can now level up! Clubs gain experience through participation in the new Adventure system. As a club’s level increases, slots are unlocked to support new types of structures called fixtures. These fixtures provide stats, boosts, and bonuses, some that have never been seen before in Trove. I have two fixtures that I absolutely love in Trove - Adventures: one adds a new Gem Efficiency stat that reduces the amount of dust required to upgrade gems, and the other gives you the Double Hit stat that grants a chance to deal double damage in combat! At the release of the update, we’ll include 18 different fixtures, each of which can be upgraded twice, creating a ton of different combos. It’ll be up to your club’s leadership to decide which fixtures are placed down at a given time and in what order they are upgraded!



Players of all levels can use the new Club Adventure Portals located in the Club Headquarters at the Hub World. After jumping through the portal, they’ll arrive at a club’s Adventure Fixture, the home for our new Adventure NPCs. Admins of that club will spawn NPCs like Davey Drowner the Skeletal Pirrot or Snackle the Golden Chaos Chest Mimic. These NPCs give out exciting new adventures that anyone can take on, ranging from simple, like fishing up an old boot, to challenging, like defeating a Shadow Titan! There’s a rumor that Ganda the Sky Shepherd can spawn in a club world as an adventure NPC – will you be the first to discover if it’s true?

Additionally, Club permissions just got a whole lot better, as club leaders can now link individual permissions to ranks. The system is fully customizable, letting leaders decide who can do what! We’ve added a couple new ranks like President, the sole leader of a club, and Enforcer - you know - the person who really gets stuff done. Players will also designate one of their five clubs as their “main club”, enabling them to receive fixture benefits from it.

The Forbidden Spires
The thing I’m most excited about though is an amazing new biome called the Forbidden Spires! This great new Eastern-themed landscape visually replaces the Uber-6 prime world and appears randomly in other prime worlds. Explore its magnificent peaks and valleys while adventuring through all-new dungeons, obtaining great décor recipes, gathering the new mining resource known as cinnabar, and collecting feathers to craft your very own Ancient Phoenix mount!



Mastery and Leaderboards
The mastery system is now uncapped, allowing you to gain benefits for all the mastery points you’ve accumulated! We expect the top mastery players to reach the mid-500s with this update, with infinite room to grow in the future. Some adjustments have been made to the passive stats granted by each mastery rank to consider the uncapped nature of this system. Time to get your collecting on; will you be among the first to unlock the new Mastery Pegasus?

We’re also ready to release the highly anticipated changes to leaderboards. All Power Rank and Mastery leaderboards have been adjusted so players with the highest score per week are ranked the highest - meaning that all players will need to put in weekly effort if they want to be eligible for great rewards. Gold names will now be awarded to the top 2,000 Trove players per platform that have the highest Mastery totals week over week. I can’t wait to see which of our clubs place the highest on our new Club Power Rank leaderboard! A club’s Power Rank is calculated based on the combined Power Rank of its top 50 members, and the President of a top 20 club will receive a coveted blue name for a week!

More Great Stuff
But that’s not all…. Here’s a summary of the other features included in this colossal update.

• New Tutorial – Learn how to play Trove in style with this new walkthrough![/*]
  
• Adventure Window – An awesome way to track adventures, events, challenges, dungeons, tome progress, and your daily cubit bar.[/*]
  
• LED Blocks – A new vibrant block type that can be set to various blinking cycles. Mostly, you use it to make some really cool signs. I mean, I make cool signs with them.[/*]
  
• Frameworks – Pre-constructed block arrangements that can be placed down all at once in your club world. BAM! A wild castle appeared.[/*]
  
• Plasma Fishing – It’s finally here! Fish in plasma to your heart’s content.[/*]
  
• Forged Stellar Souls – Stellar items can now be loot collected, resulting in Forged Stellar Souls instead of Forged Radiant Souls.[/*]
  
• Radiant and Stellar Rings – 250 skill Ringcrafters can use Radiant, and Stellar Souls to create these great new rings! If you like it, then you shoulda put…I’ll show myself out.[/*]

Over the next month as we work our way up to the release of Adventures, we’ll dish out even more info on this exciting new stuff. If you want to experience everything I just talked about, then head on over to our Public Test Server later this week for a full content preview. Your feedback is warmly welcomed. You’ll even be able to copy your live character over to our test servers!

That’s all for now, and I hope you’re as hyped for Trove - Adventures as I am. Stay connected with us by watching our Friday Livestreams at twitch.tv/trionworlds, and follow us on social media at Twitter.com/TroveGame and Facebook.com/TroveGame.

See you in Trove!
-Ricky “Din Othar” White
Senior Producer

Hey all,

Today I have some bittersweet news to share with all of you: this will be my last week at Trion Worlds. I’ve taken a job at a small game studio and I’m excited to get back to basics, and work on some smaller, experimental stuff. It is impossible to extend my gratitude to everyone enough, from the incredibly talented teams at Trion that have created and supported Trove, to you the players old and new (I see you Beta folks who still play every day).

Being a part of creating Trove has been a literally life-changing experience for me. Working together to develop the game along with all of you allowed us to reach the millions of people in ways I never expected, and it has made Trove a great game that’s only going to keep getting better. I’m leaving Trove in the hands of an amazing and passionate team, plus an incredible community (one I’ll be joining myself).

So, let’s talk about the man who’s going to be stepping up to the plate and taking over my responsibilities as the leader of Trove: Rick “Din Othar” White. You may not know him by name since he’s been lurking behind the scenes as one of our producers, but he’s been with the team for quite a while now and has my complete trust in steering Trove towards a brightly-colored, cube-shaped future. In fact, he already has some exciting news to share with you just below.

I’m also looking forward to seeing all of you one last time and officially introducing Rick in-person during this week’s Trove Livestream, so please join us on Thursday, April 13 at 12:30 PM PDT for some final goodbyes from me and some big hellos for Rick!

-- Andrew “Avarem” Krausnick

Hey there, my Trovian friends!

I’m Rick “Din Othar” White (bonus points if you know what that name means) and, like Andrew said, I’ll be taking the lead here on Trove. While I’m sad to see Andrew ride off into the sunset, I’m very excited to continue working with our passionate team and community in this new role.

So, let’s get to the big stuff: Trove’s future.

I’m thrilled to announce the name of the world changing game update that will bring the same game version of Trove to every Trovian around the world - the Megalithic Update! This epic patch is a massive content drop for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that includes the Dino Tamer class, Jurassic Biomes, class crafting, gameplay acquired Chaos Chests, regular in-game events, faster leveling, daily login chests, mini-games, and so much more.

The next big update after Megalithic will bring some fantastic changes to the game focused around the Shadow Tower and the sinister creatures that inhabit it. Without giving away too many spoilers, the Daughter of the Moon now resides on the sixth floor and reigns supreme over all the tower’s shadowy denizens. What new adversaries has she summoned to the fray? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Here’s a look at just some of the content we will deliver in 2017:

• The ability to unlock and designate a sub-class to gain new unique abilities on your active class
  
• Long awaited enhancements to clubs including club levels, member ranks, and tiered rewards
  
• A massive increase to the Mastery Rank cap and the prizes earned for gaining Mastery
  
• …and Plasma Fishing. Yes, you read that correctly, Plasma Fishing!

That’s only a taste of what’s coming this year. We can’t wait for you to see what else we’ve got planned!

-- Rick “Din Othar” White

Jokes aside we really need a new biome with acid and acid fishing. Would be cool af. Since plasma fishing has been officially announced, it's time to build acid fishing hype. Also a fix fishing hype.

No one fights acid like the Tums Raiser!


That said, check out those sick Photoshop skills. Also, let's enjoy that Plasma Fishing is coming first then focus on other stuff we can try to fish in.

I think the point that may have been lost is that we want to change the way the system works to make it more enjoyable. That doesn't mean making it take the same amount of time with the same return on investment, with more obstacles in the way of success. Options for improving fishing are being looked at as we speak. Once we've locked in on a plan I'll be able to provide more details, but just be aware that we know this is a concern for players and we're working to make it better.
