Guilds

• Guild Upgrade Nodes

• Guild Hall
• Guild Leaderboards
• Guild Vault

Dungeons

• Ascending heights (the lead up to SFOTH)
• You will be able to purchase keys for Ascending the Heights during the event. These keys will cost less than future SFOTH keys, however you will be able to turn in Ascending the Heights keys for SFOTH keys at the forge once the full dungeon releases. This effectively allows you to purchase SFOTH keys at a cheaper price in advance if you choose to hold onto the Ascending the Heights keys (or you can choose to keep them because they will become legacy keys). This dungeon is a teaser of what's to come, but don't think its a filler dungeon.. You will be able to craft and use the classic SFOTH swords!.

• Overgrown garden (early game dungeon)

Challenge Mode

• Path of the warrior (ironman version aka npe)
