Dear players
The game has been updated to version 6.30. Please restart your game clients for a mandatory update! This update is focused around major changes of vocations and items.
The following changes were made as of today's server save:

As previously stated in the launch thread of the Eternum game world on our forum, we have made adjustments to the store rune charges rate after another 30 days have passed since the launch, increasing it from 2.6x to 3.0x.
This means that runes bought from the store now come with more charges for the same price.
For example, amount of rune charges of sudden death rune that costs 20 Medivia Coins has been increased:
- from 273 charges (2.6x rate) to 315 charges (3.0x rate) on Eternum game world.
This was the final adjustment of store rune charges on Eternum game world.
