Gems and sockets, the Order Desk and the guild bank

• Gems and sockets: item level 245+ gear has gem sockets. Gems of three colours, hybrids, a legendary gem and meta gems with a special combat effect. Gems only work against creatures — not in the arena or battlegrounds. Help is behind the Gems button in the professions window. • Gem cutting: a new Gem cutting tab in professions — ranks from the trainer, raw gems (Sift ore), cutting blueprints and daily crafter limits. • Item level 245 crafting: 57 items from six crafts with gem sockets; recipes drop from mythic bosses. Mythic Spark is rare loot from mythic and timed keys; five Blueprint Scraps can be exchanged at the Masters’ Guild for any item level 245 recipe or cutting blueprint. • Auction: a new Gems section; an item level 245 item with a different number of sockets is listed on its own line. • Order Desk: order any recipe from a crafter or post “buying N at Y” — the payment waits until the order is done, crafters see Orders for me, and you leave 👍 or 👎 afterwards. Townsfolk post orders every day too. Open it from the More menu or with Order from … on an item; in the Companion it is the Orders section. • Guild bank: named tabs with icons, permissions per tab, Move, Request from the bank (whoever can decide gets a notification), a searchable log; pinned messages in the guild chat. • Battle: the damage number on a card is exactly what it deals to the selected target, including your buffs and the target’s weaknesses; one-time “next card” boosts show on every card; an enemy with weaknesses has a “🎯 +N% damage” badge. • Magister regalia, Wildfire: if there are no other enemies to copy your burns to, the burns on the target tick once more right away — the bonus now works on bosses too. • The Mercenary Camp is easier to find: a medallion on the capital square by the Gate of Expeditions; in mythic the window says how many places mercenaries will take, and in battle they are marked as mercenaries. • Companion: Mark all as read in every section, an honest Feed counter and a choice of feed view. • Invite a Friend: a friend code works for 7 days from the first hero, a refusal now shows the reason, and a link from the site carries the code into VK Play too. • The tutorial no longer blocks the shop and other windows for new players; the “The game ended without you” window no longer repeats; Game website opens the site in a normal tab. • When an important update is out, the Update window appears for everyone; the tutorial holds back the Update banner for no more than 10 minutes. Battle summaries show the hero’s moves compactly.
