This weekend Allods is hosting a “Buy one, get one FREE” sale!
 
Codex of Knowledge, Tome of Charms, Mystery Seals, Astral Replicators, and Carnival Masks are all included in this sale.
 
Hop in game, open your Item Shop (by pressing the Y key), and click on the “Special Offers” button.
 

 
As Allods Online continues to grow, we are sure our community has lots of questions about the game’s future development or questions about existing in-game features.
 
We have a special holiday treat for our Allods community that will extinguish those burning questions that you may have!
 
The developers, Mail.RU Games, will answer the top questions collectively from all regional communities of Allods Online.
 
This means we need NA Allods to represent! Here is your chance to ask the developers any question.
 
Please post any questions in this forum thread . Also be sure to keep all questions constructive as that’s the best format to help your question be chosen by the developers to answer.
 
We’ll include all past questions that the community asked before although with new patch updates since then, we want to hear any new questions you want to ask the developers of Allods Online.
 
Now let’s see those questions!
 

 
 

It’s time to celebrate Scouts!
 
This is the time of year when Scouts celebrate the Silent Days – days set aside to go hunting in the wilderness with their apprentices to practice their scouting abilities.
 
The Holiday Committee recognizes this holiday as well and their officials in Novograd and Nezebgrad will gladly offer Scouts unique vanity items in exchange for Special Holiday Coins.
 
Scouts can purchase one of four vanity items. Vanity items offer no stats and are equipped in the extra vanity slots at the bottom of your character screen. They replace or add their own appearance over the armor you are wearing.
 

 

 

 
In addition to these vanity items, Scouts can purchase a consumable Potion of Disguise that will grant them a temporary disguise buff to help them blend in with their surroundings.
 

 
These fun items can be traded to other players but can only be purchased by Scouts during this holiday. We hope you enjoy these new items and look forward to more events celebrating the diverse classes, races, and professions of Sarnaut.
 

 
 

 
Last seen almost a year ago, this impressive mount has returned for a short time!
 
Like other lions, the Golden Lion is a Rank 2 mount that starts at a base 7.25 yards per second. Using the Golden Lion will add it to your stable as both a mount, or if you already have a lion mount you will be able to use the Golden Lion pattern for it.
 
The Golden Lion can be purchased in the Item Shop. Like other mounts, it will require mount feed that can be obtained from daily quests or from the Item Shop in order to gain levels and travel at its maximum speed.
 
This lion will only be available for a short time, so get yours today!

 
It’s another month of MAP, our Monthly Allods Program – Your MAP to rewards!
 
At the end of each month we will put together a list of each account that has spent at least 1500 gPotatoes in the Allods Item Shop. Each of those accounts will receive a special item to thank you for your support of the game.
 
Each month the reward will be different.
 
For November, we are going to give out the Fur Hood! This Fur Hood is a vanity item for your head that will appear over your equipped armor:
 
 

The Fur Hood appears as a bear hood for male characters…
 

…and as a cat hood for female characters!

 
The Fur Hood is not bound and can be traded to other players.
 
Remember, for the month of November we will be counting from November 1 through November 30 for the minimum 1500 gPotatoes you need to spend in the Allods Item Shop to qualify for the Monthly Allods Promotion.
 
The MAP rewards will be sent out via in-game mail during the first week of the next month. So, November’s MAP rewards will be sent out within the first couple of weeks in December.
 
* Keep in mind that these MAP rewards are exclusives at the time that we release them for MAP. However, they may or may not remain exclusives for the MAP program forever. These items can be released at a later time for other promotions/events.

 
Patch 3.05 Autumn Wind is now live! Log in now to see all the changes, new features, and participate in our login event!

 
Patch 3.05 is bringing a new kind of skirmish to the queue: Summerhold. Unlike the other skirmishes available to players, Summerhold is not a PvP objective and instead requires players to work together to take the enemy down as fast as possible in vehicle-based combat.
 
 

• Summerhold •

 

 
Summerhold was an abandoned village that was being used by the Empire as a facility to test and manufacture new combat vehicles. They had success in the creation of the M4-U23, an enormous fortified construct capable of devastating attacks and near-impossible to breach defenses.
 
Unfortunately, it wasn’t far into their celebration that a goblin worker at the facility had fallen into the cockpit of the M4-U23 while polishing its plating. Stricken with the realization of the power in his hands he began his fight for a goblin revolution by opening fire on the scientists and engineers.
 
Now the Ex-Leader of the M4-U23 project, Sarang Panzer, is requesting assistance to take this rogue goblin down before he destroys the facility.
 
 

• Skirmish •

 
Summerhold consists of one team of 12 that must coordinate by using their vehicles to assist each other with taking down the M4-U23 within an hour.
 
There will be a short preparation period where players can join the game and take a look at the different vehicles at their disposal. Once the M4-U23 begins moving though, the fight begins! The M4-U23 will slowly make its way towards chests of supplies along the road. Your objective is to prevent the M4-U23 from destroying as many chests as possible – the more chests that are saved, the more medals you will receive.
 
 

• Vehicles •

 

The IS-7 Heavy is based on the Overlord’s Dreadnaught model. Slow and steady, this tank can disable the targeting, firing, and mobility of the M4-U23.
 
 

The Type 59 ST is modeled after the new Titan and acts as a support tank. It’s primary goal is to protect the group by taking care of any additional machines the M4-U23 activates.
 
 

The T92 Arty is a powerful vehicle in the shape of a June Dreadnaught. While doing a large amount of damage, it must first take aim and have assistance from the Firefly before it can really help take down the M4-U23.
 
 

The T50-2 Firefly holds the aerodynamic form of the aegis. It also has an engine with overheating issues. While the Firefly is quick, it cannot stop moving or it will overheat. It’s main goal is to lock onto the M4-U23 so that the T92 Arty can take aim.
 
Players will need to work together and utilize the strengths of all vehicles to stop the M4-U23′s destructive rampage.
 
 

• Enemies •

 
 

While the M4-U23 itself moves toward the chests it will be activating additional vehicles to try and stop anyone in its path.
 
 

The GiWi Type E’s aren’t to be ignored. These machines will need to be taken down quickly. They’ll be marked on the map so be aware and don’t let them get the jump on you!
 
 

T704 Stump’s are powerful combat units that you’ll want to keep your distance from if you’re piloting a more fragile vehicle.
 
 

• Prizes •

 
There are platinum, gold, silver, and bronze medals that will be sent to you in the mail for your participation the battle. These medals can be redeemed for prizes from Sarang Panzer herself, or from Holiday Committee Officials in Novograd and Nezebgrad.
 

Prizes include varying amounts of experience, some food and drink, vanity, and a couple of permanent /use items like the Mini M4-U23 and the M4-U23 Projection. These prizes are bound, so you’ll need to work hard if you want to show off your Summerhold rewards!
 
 
We hope you enjoyed this preview of Summerhold and look forward to enjoying this new skirmish. We’ll see you on October 30th when the servers come up with Patch 3.05!

 
So far we have given you previews for the upcoming user interface changes, the Xadaganian female makeover, and the Galant Sweep.
 
There are more previews to come though. We have new things coming to Allods that we’re just itching to tell you about and tomorrow, Wednesday 10/17, you’ll get your next patch preview.
 
But the winds of change are coming and they refuse to be held back. We are proud to announce that patch 3.0.5 “Autumn Wind” will be arriving on October 30th!
 
In the meantime, keep on the lookout for more patch previews and events the Allods Team has in store for you until “Autumn Wind” blows into town.
