Major Update: Might and Magic 8.0

Released: May 16, 2026

New skill trees, dimensions, spells and classes. The notes warn that every player’s skill tree is reset.

Gameplay Changes#

  • Your skill tree will be reset. Added 4 new skill trees and removed the old one.
  • 4 new dimensions, 12+ new armor sets, 30+ new legendary weapons and 4+ new bosses.
  • 70+ new spells, including a new Aqua spell school, and a slight increase to the spell power multiplier of all spells. Spell summons scale much better with spell power (about +40%).
  • Completely revamped all classes.
  • Added new origins: Faded (Simple, Difficult and Magical), Keres (the opposite of Valkyrie) and Eldritch Mage (a Mage, but Eldritch). Cannibalism was added during the cycle.
  • More ranged weapon options, with 34 legendary bows, a Too Many Bows questline and 30 previously unused Skill Books.
  • New third-person camera and better lock-on mechanics (thanks Heяø).
  • Removed the equipment durability system.
  • Rebalanced mob leveling stats, fixed unbalanced koboleton mob leveling, and changed hidden boss levels: Warden 100 to 60, Ferrous Wroughtnaut 60 to 25, Kamath 60 to 30.
  • Significantly improved crit chance and crit damage gem attributes.
  • Quests: updated Magic Gear, Epic Fight and affix enchanting questlines, an expanded Sky Arena shop, more skill points from quests, tons of new recipes and a fixed Dragonslayer questline (Dragon Forge). The Cataclysm dimensions are now tied to “The Watching Silence” questline.
  • New Eldritch items (armor and a rune), updated attributes for Alshanex’s Familiars trinkets and T.O armors and echoes, fixed excessive armor weight, and removed some unnecessary curios slots (Nesil).
  • Disabled the Alex’s Mobs book on startup.

Backend Changes#

  • General FPS and TPS improvements, including significantly better FPS around many Excalibur animated entities and better chunk-loading on servers with many players.
  • Added more Excalibur textures for FTB mods (thanks A_Shfox). Fixed invisible Create contraptions and light flickering while using shaders.
  • The skill trees were rebuilt from scratch in the commit history: the Mage tree was remade dynamically, then the Ranger, Warrior and Rogue trees followed, with placeholder node icons and new menus.
  • Server scripts were organized into folders, recipes were converted to JavaScript, and redundant configs and files were removed.
  • The Past dimension was built, reworked and finished during the development cycle (commits “Past dimension complete” and “Past Update v0.4”), alongside the Alex’s Caves and Traveloptics integrations.
  • Added a Spanish translation.
  • Updated mods.
