Fifth Level of Patronage Released!

Wednesday, May 16 2012 - 11:28 AM
by piopico

 
May 30 marks the release of Patch 3.0.2, bringing many new gameplay improving features and the highly anticipated server merge! Starting today we’ve prepared something exciting – a new, yet long-awaited feature that the Allods community has requested for some time. We’re glad to announce for our NA version the implementation of the Fifth Level of Patronage!
 
For newer members of the community who may not be familiar with the Fifth Level of Patronage, allow us to jump back in time to shed some light on this helpful Martyr feature.
 

Fifth Level of Patronage – Blast to the Past!

As you may know, levels of Patronage are earned in the game through leveling up. Each rank grants a 50% bonus to damage and healing, with up to a 200% bonus from the Fourth Level of Patronage obtained at level 30.
 
The Fifth Level of Patronage was added to the game’s coding in 2010 when Allods Online was still in open beta. It grants an additional 50% bonus, bringing the maximum bonus to a total of 250%. At the time, it could only be obtained through the Item Shop by purchasing Holy Boxes which would grant a varying number of Holy Symbols. Once enough Holy Symbols were acquired, the player would receive the Fifth Level of Patronage.
 
Since Holy Boxes could only be acquired through the Item Shop and Fifth Level of Patronage was not needed to enjoy all of the game’s content, the Allods Team decided it would be best to refrain from adding an additional Item Shop ability that would be perceived as a required perk by some players.
 
Over time the community has continued to ask about the Fifth Level of Patronage – when it would be available and how it would be implemented. Since implementation of Fifth Level of Patronage has been a sensitive topic across the community, we felt it was best not to rush it, especially since it was not required to tackle in-game content.
 
This brings us up to the present, where we have incorporated the community’s feedback so we can release this premium feature fairly. We’re happy to announce that the Fifth Level of Patronage has changed since its original design, and for the better!
 
New and Improved Fifth Level of Patronage!

As before, the Fifth Level of Patronage can be acquired after collecting the appropriate number of Holy Symbols from Holy Boxes sold in the Item Shop. Each Holy Box contains 10 to 50 Holy Symbols.
 
One thing that makes this new implementation more appealing than its original design is the temporary Fifth Level of Patronage buff that has been added. Activating 100 Holy Symbols will award a player with the Fifth Level of Patronage buff for two hours. The minimum level to acquire the temporary buff is level 30.
 
Any Holy Symbols activated will permanently be added to the collective amount of Holy Symbols needed for the permanent Fifth Level of Patronage. This setup allows players to gather Holy Symbols and enjoy the extra kick that comes with Patronage 5 throughout their journey while building up towards their permanent boost.
 
Multiple Methods to Obtain Fifth Level of Patronage!

The Currency Exchange system also opened up a new alternative for players to obtain the resources required for the Fifth Level of Patronage. With this free to play addition to Allods, it felt like the appropriate time to release this highly requested feature to the community in a way that was fair to all players. Holy Boxes can additionally be obtained through the Item Shop, Auction House, or from trading with other players.
 
We know that some players fear that the Fifth Level of Patronage is required to complete game’s content. This is not true. Fifth Level of Patronage was solely designed as a premium feature that may be obtained for an extra boost in combat, while regular and hardcore players who choose not to employ the boost can still tackle and defeat difficult battles.
 
We are glad to finally make this feature available after tonight’s maintenance which brings all content up to speed for Allods Online: Game of Gods. With the Fifth Level of Patronage now available and many more exciting features to come later this month, Allods Online will feel like a whole new game with new allies, new rivalries, and new foes in the world of Sarnaut!
