Rise of the Firstborn

■ 09/18 Patch Notes

Patch Schedule:

• 09/18 (Wed) Downtime Maintenance 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM (PDT)
• 09/18 (Wed) Downtime Maintenance 10:00 – 16:00 (System Time)

1. Furnace Event

Event Period

• 09/18 (Wed) After The Patch – 09/25 (Wed) After The Patch

Things are heating up, and that means it’s time for another Furnace Event! After the patch, you’ll see maximum temperatures soaring to 1,000,000 degrees with enhanced prizes for burning eligible items and a special reward for maintaining top heat for 23 hours.

All 3 Furnace Gems (Emerald, Zircon, and Hotter Furnace Gems) will be burnable for 1 degree of temperature each, but will not give a reward for each one burnt. Otherwise, the list of what can be burnt for a reward remains the same as usual, but the temperature each one is worth during this super-charged event is much higher than normal – 600x higher!

Heat Reward = Divine Heat Chest
Burning Reward for select items from 0 – 1,000,000 degrees = Thermal* Heat Chest IV

* this post was edited on September 19th to correct the name from Kinetic Heat Chest IV to the correct item, Thermal Heat Chest IV.

2. New Kingdom: A World for New Heroes

We are thrilled to announce the opening of a brand-new kingdom exclusively for new players in Rise of Firstborn! This time-encapsulated realm offers a unique opportunity to embark on a fresh journey without the intimidation of high-level competitors. Dive into a world where you can grow your Citadel, strengthen your armies, and uncover the hidden stories waiting to be explored.

Key Features:
1. Exclusive Access for New Players:
– This kingdom is a sanctuary for new adventurers, providing a balanced environment to develop your armies
– All newly created accounts will begin their journey in this new kingdom
– Existing Citadels are restricted from invading or teleporting into this protected realm.
– If up to a challenge, newcomers may teleport to another kingdom of their choice before they reach Citadel level 6.
2. A Fresh Start:
– Build and expand your Citadel from the ground up
– Develop your preferred play-style without feeling behind the curve
3. Discover and Conquer:
– Dive into the rich lore of Rise of Firstborn, uncovering stories and secrets unique to this time-encapsulated realm
– Engage in quests and challenges designed to enrich your gaming experience
4. Community Building:

5. New Pace
– The New Kingdom is based on a specially designed balance for new players
– Explore at a slower and more competitive pace
– Build and enjoy steady progress
– Veterans can rediscover the thrill of early-game mastery, proving your skills in a land where everyone starts equal

New kingdoms are crucial for welcoming fresh faces to our community, providing a less intimidating environment for growth and learning. This new kingdom provides a welcoming environment for new heroes to learn, grow, and ultimately compete to conquer. We believe this approach will foster a vibrant and dynamic community, paving the way for future legends in Rise of Firstborn.

The new kingdom will be available after the patch when the game comes out of maintenance – approximately 4PM PDT / 16:00 System Time. Please be aware that some of the new-user balance tunings will also affect Citadels level 45 and under that are not in the new kingdom, including building timers up to and including Citadel 25 and growth mission rewards up to and including Citadel 45.
