The Wildfolk planet, Arboreus, is now available with its first continent Terra. Terra is a vast land that extends for about 40km² and features several new biomes and regions, such as:
- The beach biome, which can be found surrounding the majority of Terra.
- The jungle biome, home to overgrown flora and fauna.
- The mountain jungle biome, a variation of the jungle found at higher altitudes.
- The broken islands, which can be found in the centre of the continent.
- The volcano biome, found on the East side of Terra, where ferocious fire-loving creatures reside.
Terra also features its own unique Points of Interest (POI), where you will find a multitude of new foes to take on, including:
- The Grokoton villages with their crazy hanging platforms.
- The bandit camps – they’ve made landfall on Terra as well!
- The Termidian nests. Tired of spiders on Syndesia? Meet the terrifying gigantic insects of Terra. There’s plenty!
- The ogre villages. Not your regular metal-loving Myr ogres – even monsters on Arboreus respect nature!
Across Terra you will find many hostile creatures who are trying to defend their territory, including (but not limited to):
- The aforementioned lizard-like Grokotons, the human bandits, the Termidians and the Ogres of Arboreus.
- The huskworms… wait till you see their death animation! Nightmare fuel.
- Giant turtles, crabs, and crocodiles, so that even your seaside trip is haunted.
- Giant frogs, giant lizards, giant everything. That’s Arboreus for you!
- Dragons. Arboreus has dragons! (and dragonlings)
In sum, that’s over 40 new unique foes, so there’s really a lot to discover on Terra. Never before we have released to many new creatures in a single update.
New abilities have been added for players to obtain:
