Today we would like to invite you to the last edition of our “A Closer Look…” guides! By now you know all about the new zones and had a taste of the dark secrets you will discover. You’ve learned about a new race, the Tekyans, and had a peek at the new raids where you will be able to make good use of the raised level cap and new class skills.
 
Regardless of the paths you have chosen so far and the paths you will choose in the future, you all have one common aim to achieve… perfection. The inhabitants of the planet once destroyed by the Cataclysm have already become powerful enough to challenge the gods themselves.
 
Exploring the distant Astral, obtaining the most powerful weapons, conquering the most dangerous allods, and making the most powerful enemies vanish – this is the true destiny for heroes of Sarnaut. They fight for Amalgam and Realgar, not even stopping to think whether the opponent is a friend or an enemy! Confrontation lasts to the very end while annihilating all the obstacles until reaching total domination.
 
With our next update, “Lords of Destiny”, the battles will become even more spectacular. The guilds had a taste for power when they gained control of single allods and now nothing will stop them from conquering whole sectors…not even the astral demons!
 
Prepare for countless Dominion Wars! Battles that will allow the guilds to become true leaders of the Astral and gain precious resources. This will grant you to obtain and upgrade glyphs necessary to make your equipment even better.
 
Dominion is a place for the mightiest – the ones who gained level 55 and gained access to the skirmish by obtaining the necessary keys.
 

You can join the fight in the Skirmish menu (ctrl+M)
Join the battle either as a lonely hero or in a group of up to 6 players. Your group leader will simply have to join the queue on behalf of the group.
 
Although the war itself is relaxed with rules, there are a few rules you will have to learn:
 
Every skirmish has two rounds, each of which lasts 10 minutes. In the first round, one group becomes the defender, and the other group takes up the role of the attacker. In the second round, the roles of the groups will be swapped.
 
To achieve victory you have to head towards the flags, and if your forces are greater in number than the enemy’s, you will begin taking over the checkpoint. Once the checkpoint is conquered, it cannot be won back. Every time a flag is conquered, the duration of the round is increased by 2 minutes. However, the second round cannot be longer than the first one. The final victory will be granted to the group that conquered most of the strategic points in the least amount of time, thus gaining the higher final score.
 
The fight for domination requires extraordinary resources to ensure the victory. You can find them in the wild corners of the Astral, where you will discover your allies. Anyone who manages to tame them will gain faithful friends ready to fight by your side.
 
Allies work similar to Mercenaries, although you don’t need a pouch full of gold to gain their support in Dominion Wars. You can have up to three of them and they will have various abilities.
 
Types of Allies:
Falconet – a trusted ally. A battle golem able to cast powerful spells on a single target and also dealing AoE damage.
 

Idalene – an ally casting spells on a single target. The mistress of curses.
 

Pimen – an invaluable helper. The forestfolk healer specializes in healing your allies.
 

Ahella – a fierce warrioress. This harpy will engage in combat with a single target or a group of enemies with her powerful melee attacks.
 

Simurg – an aviak-sniper fighting from a distance, just like a seasoned scout.
 

Urso – a powerful werebear. A perfect defender who can interrupt enemy attacks.
 

There can be 3 allies summoned at the same time within a group, and each of them has to be a different type. Just like their owners, these creatures can upgrade their abilities and change their appearance through special items you can loot from Astral bosses.
 
But nothing encourages people to join a battle more than the promise of gaining something valuable. Just think of the League’s invasion on Kirah when they learned that the place was filled with meteorite iron that can protect anything from the destructive powers of the Astral.
 
With Lords of Destiny the race for resources will start. Only with them you will be able to gain control over whole sectors of the Mysterious Astral. Forget about the Astral Confrontation. Now each day will become a fierce battle for domination and each hero in the guild will become important.
 
Leaders and officers will take up the role of tacticians again, but this time, the scale will be bigger. A military drill in the guild will be necessary to ensure a quick expansion in the sectors. Gaining Mightiness will become essential as it will enable defense of the controlled sectors and the capability to conquer new ones. This will depend on two factors:
 
-Stature, gained for adventuring on the astral allods.
 
-Fame, gained as a reward for successful battles with other players during the Dominion Wars.
 
Gathering both of the resources will raise the Mightiness of the guild, which enables you to gain control in the chosen sectors. Sometimes the control of the sector will be decided in the battle of champions.
 

The more sectors a guild controls, the larger the choice of glyphs available for its members. The guilds controlling neighbouring sectors or even whole segments of sectors will gain the most.
 
So all you have to do is find a nice, quiet corner somewhere in Dominion and reap the rewards. But stay alert, because this area might surprise you. As time passes and some requirements are met, some sectors may evolve into more prosperous ones attracting attention of the more powerful guilds. And they won’t be willing to negotiate with you.
 
The path to total domination is long and it hides many secrets requiring the best strategies and a lot of effort, but the rewards will be worth it.
 
We don’t want to reveal all of our cards just yet, but get ready for extremely dynamic battles, guild plotting, and whole weeks filled with excitement.
 
The Dominion Wars are coming next week! See you on the battlefield in Allods Online: Lords of Destiny!

 
A special tradition has been instilled in the Empire’s faction. Kids train themselves to sing the national anthem, the city council is busy cleaning the city and putting up Nezebgrad’s flags, and the security has been tightened around the capital! What could be the reason for this commotion? A naked Orcs’ race? A massive Arisen experiment? Or simply… Yasker’s Birthday?
 
Our dear faction leader is turning… Well, we don’t have enough fingers to count his real age (and he may eliminate us for telling you), but the Empire’s citizens will celebrate his special day, and with gusto!
 
From Monday, March the 11th, until Wednesday, March the 20th, be the guests of Yasker’s birthday!
 
Yasker is proud to say he doesn’t have the basic tastes of his nemesis, Aidenus. For Empire, to lead is an honor and not an excuse to bring decadence, so the party has to follow the greatness of its representant: it has to be organized with solemnity and pride.
 
And yes, there may be drinks. Hush though, you don’t want the Gibberlings crashing the party!
 
Although no League soldiers will be allowed to celebrate this day, Xadaganians, Orcs and Arisens will be able to pay their respects to their favorite leader, and get some useful items in the process!
 
Meet the Holiday Committee members in order to get the following items:
 

Gramophone: Switch on the Gramophone for 1 minute to listen to a classic tune!
 

Jar of Cucumbers: Take 5 pickles from the jar. (The Jar disappears after 7 days)
 

Pickled Cucumber: Restores your health out of combat, and increases your Stamina for 45 minutes. (The Pickle disappears after 24 hours)
 

Wheat Liquor: Pour a bottle of liquor into five glasses! (The bottle disappears after 7 days)
 

Glass of Liquor: Restores the mana out of combat and increases your Willpower for 45 minutes. (The glass disappear after 24 hours)
 
Thankfully, you can sell or exchange these items with your imperial peers to expand the party in the battlefield!
 

 
Yasker’s day is special, so save this memorable picture of your leader listening to his favorite Billy Holidorc song while planning an Astral wide attack on the League.
 
Birthday happens only once a year, so don’t hesitate! Get these exclusive items and show some love to your chief until the 20th of March!
 

Welcome to our latest edition of A Closer look at, which will bring the spotlight on the mysterious Glyphs in Lords of Destiny! After you’ve discovered the new zones, a completely new race Tekyans, latest spells for your class and learned about changes in Astral, let us focus on the unique Glyphs system.
 
Some of you might be amazed by a picturesque landscape of Tekyatl but surely each character thinks about the future improvement of their equipment. The wind of changes is blowing through Sarnaut and it’s about time to discover what new possibilities are awaiting for you.
 
“Those who speak of progression but are afraid of change are unable to reach any further than their eyes can see.”
 
Deeper layers of Astral will be now available for explorers and those hide some mysterious stones. They are called “Glyphs” and they are rare and extremely precious things. The have magic inside, and can make you the mightiest, the bravest and luckiest hero ever, but only if you insert them into your weapon or armor! Like with all treasures, finding a glyph is a real challenge!
 
Luckily, you won’t have to look too far for your first encounter with this ancient artifact. In the astral port of your capital, and in the Citadel on the Isle of Revelation, you will find a Lapidarist. Former servant of the Lord, the Master of Glyphs. Once a week, he can give a hero a simple job; when done the character will be able to buy astral glyph boxes, that hold Glyphs of varying quality.
 

Ssssh! I’ll tell you a secret…
Once you found the glyphs they can then be inlaid in the equipment, provided that the item is not below level 51 and has the inherent characteristic of the glyph.
 
Features of the glyphs are then added to the characteristics of the object to which they are inlaid. For example, you can’t put the glyph enhancing Stamina to pants (‘legs’ slot), because pants never increase Stamina. Only when all the slots are filled (it can be from 1 to 3 slots), a character will receive bonus points to Armor, Spellpower, Faith, Resistance or DPS values, provided the item has the appropriate attributes.
 
The total amount of bonus depends on the quality of the glyph, but doesn’t depend on the quality or level of the item they are being used for.
 
To make it easier at the beginning, there are two ways to show the stat points coming from glyphs. First, bonus stats points are being summed up with the item’s stat points. Secondly, stat points from the glyphs are shown separately in the tooltip (with visual representation of the glyphs in the slots) if the option “Detailed comparison between items” is turned on in the User Interface.
 
Overall there are 3 types of glyphs that can be inserted into each item: offensive (triangular form), defensive (oval form) and special glyphs (pentagonal); each type has its own special slot.
 
Within those 3 types there is a selection of 10 different glyphs:
 
• Luck
• Intelligence + Strength
• Wisdom + Finesse
• Perception + Expertise
• Agility
• Stamina
• Endurance
• Rage
• Conviction
• Willpower
 
Glyphs of low quality can be acquired for performing tasks, and gathered as trophies from monsters. Glyphs can also be bought from a special NPC from a tribe in a Teykatl camp, but only with a certain amount of reputation:
 
Common glyphs – 10000 reputation required
Uncommon glyphs – 25000 reputation required
 

“There is nothing in the world that some man cannot make a little better”
Glyphs have the very same scale of quality as equipment items do. Most gems can be improved in Forge of Artifacts, again just like an ordinary parts of equipment. In order to upgrade a glyph, one should use special component – Alkahest. They are available for participation in a new battleground, “Dominion”. Only Alkahest of the appropriate quality should be used in the process. They can be of a uncommon, rare, epic and legendary quality.
 
There are few simple rules that one should follow with upgrading the glyphs:
Base and the upgrader should be of the same quality and only 1 agent can be used at a time.
Upgrade is available only for the glyphs with level 55 or higher.
Glyphs of uncommon quality (green) from the boxes could be put into the slots as they are. Glyphs of a higher quality could be used only as upgraders.
 

“If you want something done right, do it yourself”
 
None of the handymen should feel threatened with losing their jobs because of the incoming changes, as glyphs can also be made in process of crafting!
 
Blacksmiths, leatherworkers, and tailors can learn special recipes to create glyphs.
 
Here is the list of glyphs types which could be made by different professions:
 
• Blacksmiths – Glyphs increasing Strength, Intelligence, Finesse, Wisdom and Stamina
• Leatherworkers – Glyphs increasing Finesse, Wisdom, Perception, Expertise and Endurance
• Tailors – Glyphs increasing Strength, Intelligence, Perception, Expertise and Agility
 

Recipes for basic glyphs are obtained by characters at level 53. Also, starting from that level, players will get recipes for rare quality glyphs, and will be able to learn them. Level 55 players can start glyphs upgraders creation.
 
Glyphs created by crafting from recipes are not bound so they could be traded, sent via in-game mails, and added to the Auction House. After activation, it becomes bound, and it could be used: equipped if it is a base glyph or used as an upgrader if it’s an upgrader.
 
We hope you are intrigued by the new system of character’s development. It not only infuses the progress system with new blood, but also opens more ways of modifications on your future perfect build. These new glyphs aren’t the only big changes we have in store within the new expansion.
 
Don’t forget to keep an eye on our Official Website to never miss our announcements about Lords of Destiny!
 

 
Welcome to a new edition of the “A Closer Look…” guides! After having discovered the new territories for your class, it is time to test them on the field!
 
As you surely remember, the adventures in the Crystal Palace have brought us one step closer to the truth about Tep. But the horror unleashed will make Dead City appear like a fun fair for young Gibberlings!
 
You have learned that nothing is what it seems and that revealing the lies can be painful and risky. Nothing might prepare you for the horror you are about to witness, not even the Dead King. But it is your duty to face it and to prevent Sarnaut from drowning into the horror of Tep’s lies.
 
Today we will present to you what probably is the most awaited feature brought by Lords Of Destiny. You will need to unveil the true face of the idyllic world of Pearl Ring. You will have to defeat the illusion inside the Crystal Palace and be willing to jump into the worst nightmare every Sarnautian can think of, Tep’s foolishness.
 
We won’t tell you how to do it, you will have to discover it by yourself, and rest assured it won’t be an easy task!
 

 
First of all, you will have to make your way to the Pyramid, that is guarded by Tep’s loyal cultists and by mechanoids. When you reach the entrance, you will be welcomed by the fierce Pyramid Keepers, that are willing to do anything to protect their master, Tep. He promises his accolites eternal life, then he exploits their Sparks as a fee. But the neophytes agree, for they have been promised much more. Finally, the newbie is sent recruiting other wretched souls. If you enlist another fool into the cult, you get a sip of his life. If you violate the rules, you pay with your own. That’s how the system works. Some manage to accumulate a certain amount of other Sparks’ light to make up for their losses and maintain a semblance of human existence. Those who are unlucky roam the ruins of Tep’s kingdom with their Sparks faded. Those are the enemies you will have to face: you can understand why they won’t be willing to disappoint their master!
 
As many of you would remember, Tep was a necromancer who spent his existence studying the mystery of life and discovered that the basic component of every living substance is the Spark of Life, which leaves the body when death occurs. He researched a way to trap those Sparks, in order to achieve eternal life for himself. He built a Pyramid to trap all the sparks released by those who died, but the Zems discovered his dark secret and attacked him. They fought a violent battle to the last man, until they finally managed to free the captive sparks. The liberated Sparks rushed back to their old bodies, but they found them rotten. Those new mechanically improved beings rose from their graves and became a new Sarnautian race, the Arisens. But the Pyramid continued to capture the souls, and it managed to take also Tensess’ one.
 
But his Spark was powerful and it didn’t surrender to Tep’s will. The Great Mage summoned some spirits, the Servants of Tensess, to guide the sparks back towards the living: it was the biggest gift he could make to all Sarnautians that have been able to revive from then on.
 
Tep remains a dark shadow lurking over Sarnaut and it will be the duty of the mightiest fighters to fight against this dangerous threat. Once you reveal the true face of Irdrich, you will be able to discover Tep’s hideout: a pyramid-shaped Astral ship, from which he continues to trap and enslave the Sparks.
 
You will need a strong level 55 raid and a good strategy to make your way to the top! Call your best comrades and let’s get inside!
 

 
The first boss you will meet is the Key Keeper. Once you sneak inside the Pyramid, the Key Keeper will leave your party in the trusty hands of his helper, Bouncer, while he seals the entrance to the main hall.
 
After killing him, you will discover that Tep is hiding in the upper part of the Pyramid and that you will have to choose between two ways to reach him: will you try your luck, hmm… will you test your value in the Laboratory or in the Control Center? Choose your fate, but keep in mind that none of them will be easy!
 

 
If you think that Elven engineers are too focused on beauty to be good fighters, your belief will be refuted by the second boss of this raid, Nihil. She used to be known as Cecile de Ardeur before she turned into this mechanical monster. She used to be an ally of Armando de Douceur, before helping Tep creating the Pyramid. She was the creator of Ceasaria, the artificial intelligence controlling the Darkblood Citadel, many of you should remember it. If you don’t, it doesn’t matter, she remembers you: you have defeated her during a quest, she has been punished for this and she won’t forgive you! Now Tep has turned into her into an A.I. and connected her to the Pyramid control mechanism to make a perfect watchdog out of her.
 

 
If you decide to head for the Laboratory, you will find Sihal waiting for you. Don’t worry, he’s waiting for payback time too! This horrible monster will haunt your Sarnautian dreams: he’s half Arisen and half shadow, which makes him a lethal mix of science and magic! Defeating him will finally allow you to put an end to the illusion imprisoning Irdrich.
 

 
If you manage to beat one of them, you can now try to make your way to the top and reach Tep… Don’t think it going to be easy though!
 

The lift is over there, but don’t think it would be easy to reach the upper part of the Pyramid!
We won’t reveal more today… you have to discover it by yourselves! Your faction counts on you, all Sarnaut counts on you! We can’t wait for you to reach the top and share your screenshots and videos with all the community!
 
That’s all for today. We have decided to leave you with a teaser! It will be a hard mission for your raid, but with great danger comes great rewards and… amazing costumes to show off in your capital!

Since then they have been the standard bearers of spell casting, magical knowledge and fancy wands! So why not hold a celebration to the wonders of these wishmasters?

Welcome to our latest edition of “A Closer Look At”, which will focus the spotlight on the Astral Map changes in Lords of Destiny! After you’ve discovered the new zones, a completely new race of Tekyans and the latest spells for your class, it will be time to unlock the path to the new Astral!
 
Let us travel with the New Astral Map in Lords of Destiny!
 
You know this place, a place where you feel like an intruder; like bacteria in the bloodstream. It’s a dangerous but mysterious place: there is only you and the omnipresent blue, red, burning white or demonic black. Here you will understand how little a creature you are, despite all your heroic deeds and great wins.
 
The Astral, a substance in motion, evolving over time, able to absorb anything that enters into its influence and behaving as if it were a dynamic, living organism. It is both destructive and creative matter, and its behaviour cannot be predicted based on any known matter found on Sarnaut.
 

Although everybody focuses on fights on the main lands, a true battle is taking place far away from capital borders.
 
The next cycle of changes in this impressive sphere are approaching. You must prepare yourself for its arrival, if you want to survive.
 
The parts of the Astral closest to both factions’ capitals will narrow down dramatically, consuming the second and third layers completely. Scientists will have to rewrite the text books, as astral space will then be divided into three basic layers: Near Astral, Unexplored Astral and Mysterious Astral.
 
Have a closer look at what they are:
 
Near Astral
The Astral layer closer to the big allods in relatively well ordered and structured.
It is the beginning of the astral. It is considered to be the safest, and entirely explored. It makes a perfect training ground for future captains and their crews and contains 12 sectors.
 

Unexplored Astral
This layer of astral is largely unexplored or entirely unknown.
 
It is a journey’s final destination for treasure hunters that seek rare weapons, armor, or accessories that they can equip their characters with, as well as suitable upgrades. It’s composed of 35 sectors, that can be individually unlocked by finding fragments of maps of different quality: Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary.
 

Mysterious Astral
Shows the current situation of guilds’ dominance in the astral sectors.
 
The most distant section of Astral. Its structure is unknown, but its size could suggest that it might contain twice the number of sectors as an Unexplored Astral.
 
The Mysterious Astral can be revealed by unlocking clusters of sectors, instead of singular areas. Initial groups can be discovered using maps of legendary quality found in the Unexplored Astral. Meaning that when unlocking Unexplored Astral islands, Mysterious Astral islands are unlocked also. Further sections will be revealed only to owners of fabled quality Mysterious Astral map fragments.
 

Together with new challenges, new helpers will come to assist you. Next to the Astral Gates in your capital’s Harbor Area you will find Masters. Astral explorers just like you.
 
They will assign you with new quests related to the exploration of Astral layers. One of them will award you with plenty of gold for some of the items you might loot in the Astral. Another Master will give you missions in which you could gain precious Grains of Realgar. The last of them holds a powerful secret you will soon discover.
 

As you might have learned by now, you will have to force your way through even deeper zones of the Astral. Much more risky and dangerous. Not even the most experienced explorers stand a chance when directly confronted with astral forces. Lords of Destiny introduces the VII, VIII and IX generation of Astral Ship equipment. These can be found only in the furthest sectors of the new astral.
 
That is all for our introduction to some of the changes in the upcoming expansion, but it is just the beginning, for there are more valuable items that can be found in the new astral, which we will present to you in next Lords of Destiny focus.
 
Don’t forget to keep an eye on our Official Website so that you never miss any of our announcements about Lords of Destiny!
 

Historians from all around Sarnaut agree on this fact: Love is the most strangest thing.
 
It makes your face red when you see someone special; it summons butterflies to your belly; your capacity to speak is impaired; and you make a bunch of crazy things! If the erudits of Sarnaut were as awkward as we are towards knowledge, our world would be already leading to its destruction! But this is why, we are the one braving the dangers, using our bravery to face the biggest challenges ever, and not having our noses in archeological sites or in a dusty book. We definitely do not wait for another Cataclysm to happen! Love is a burning passion and heart-break at the time, but before all these extreme feelings, it is most importantly – fun!
 
We believe that true love is the one thing that doesn’t change you and in which you can have the most silliest moments with a person that wouldn’t mind. To celebrate these individuals that share special moments together, we’re launching an event on our Official Facebook Page!
 
From Thursday, February the 14th, until Monday, February the 25th, pose with your Sarnautian Valentine and send us your picture on our application!
It is simple to participate – dress up with your special one, and take a screenshot of both of you! And if you don’t have one, don’t despair, we are sure you will find your true love (or a charitable soul) to showcase how great you are…in a picture!
 
To participate in this contest, just follow the rules:
 
- Take a screenshot of you and your special one in-game! It can be romantic, funny, epic, basically, anything that can sum up how great a couple you are.
- Go to our Facebook page, like us if you haven’t done so already, and go to our event application – “Pair to Win”
- Submit your picture. Our team will review it before approving it, just to make sure you didn’t send THAT kind of picture to us. Make sure the screenshot is appropriate, otherwise, we will refuse your entry. And if your picture isn’t approved straight-away, don’t worry, our team will do it in the hours following your submission!
- You will have until the 25th of February to submit the picture.
 
Now, to the fun part! The community will vote for the entries! That is right! From the moment you enter your screenshot until the closing day for the submission (the 25th of February, don’t forget!), our Facebook fans can vote for their favorite screenshot! So make sure to quickly take your picture and make it perfect in order to gather the most votes. You can also vote every day for your favorite entry as well!
 
Although the Allods players will be the jury, the Allods Team will pick notable entries.
 
Let’s get to the reward table:
 
1st Place – 5000 Premium Crystals
2nd Place – 3000 Premium Crystals
3rd Place – 2000 Premium Crystals
4th Place – 1500 Premium Crystals
5th Place – 1000 Premium Crystals
 
Excited much? We bet you are, so grab your special one, and make the picture of your dreams to share around!
 
Don’t forget to like our Facebook page in order to participate, and see you on the 25th of February!
 

“To get the full value of joy
You must have someone to divide it with.”
Famous Kanian Writer

Mysterious characters have started to appear in town. They rival with the cuteness of Gibberlings with their sweet appearance; they spread serenity and love to whoever comes to them for advice or just curiosity! The Historians are more than puzzled about the origins of these characters, their real goal, or even why they appeared straight in the middle of February! It must be a secret plan of Nihaz! Using attractive women to lure his enemies to be the slave of their feelings unless there is a better explanation of the situation. It is… the Love Festival!
 
Nihaz wasn’t the instigator of this new event though. It was indeed Yasker and Aidenus who were worried about the morose mood of their troops and took matter in their hands!
 
From the 14th until the 28th of February, take part in the Love Festival and share your feelings to the world!
 
From the 14th of February, Sarnautians will welcome the exquisite Lubava Charova in front of Aidenus Tower in Novograd, and Lyubov Serdechkina in the Old Square in Nezebgrad! Beside making the male (or even female) gender drool with admiration, they will be in charge of restoring the loving mood in the hearts of League and Empire soldiers! If you were in search of a partner to share your raid stories with or want to rekindle your relationship with your spouse, it will be the perfect opportunity to talk to the ladies!
 

Lubava Charova —————– Lyubov Serdechkina
 
On your first meeting with the NPC, you will be given a special task which will be the first step into finding the perfect one for your lone soul! Once you’ve learn their teachings and practice your aiming at striking through your enemies’ hearts and possible love interests, you will be free to spread love and heart-break in town with the repeatable quests “Love thy enemy” and “Love thy neighbor”!
 
Be careful though! No one knows how true love will strike! It may happen when you aim at an Elf, a facetious Gibberling, or even a fierce Orc? You will know when the Love Fever will blind you! Don’t fight it; embrace it and find Lubava or Lyubov to receive the item which will be given to your chosen one. Get the “Blind Love” quest and find another character victim of the intense passion!
 

But, love won’t be the only reward thanks to these quests – masks, underwear, and many more items will be filling your bag! If you wanted to spend your Valentine evening with mystery, romanticism, fashion, or even laughs, Lubava and Lyubov will make sure you will never forget the Love Festival!
 
Our ladies will be glad to trade your Special Holiday Coins, and Gifts of Infatuation and True love, if the search for your special one is getting in the way of your adventurer’s life!
 
So, what can love offer you?
 
Here is what you can get in the Infatuation Gift:
 

Star Shades—————-Heart Shades

Cat Ears —————-Bunny Ears

Stranger Mask (Green) —————-”Phantom of the Opera” Mask

“Seal of Mystery” Mask ————-Sparkling Antennae

Red Flower Band —————-Edelweiss Band

Wildflower Band —————-Stylish Haircut

Arrow of Passion
 
And here what the Gift of True Love will reward you with:
 

Firefly Mask —————-Heart Bunny Ears

Star Bunny Ears —–”Desire” Underwear (Bound to character)

“Passion” Underwear – Bound to the character
 
Needless to say, you will be spoiled with accessories! Perfect for our Valentine’s Event on Facebook! And you can even share the gifts with your beloved, or just Auction it!
 
Don’t be shy, this is the only moment of the year you are allowed to hunt to find your one-true-love! Who knows when Lubava and Lyubiv will be back in town to help you find the perfect person to accompany you in the endless Sarnautian nights?
 
Don’t hesitate, and give your heart between the 14th and the 28th of February in Allods Online with the Love Festival!
