The witches of the green claw swamp need your help once more as they are about to brew their special mixture once more. 

The world event Bewitched will start tomorrow, June 21, after server save. Supply the witches with the needed ingredients for their magical draught, and protect their cauldron from the bane-bringers. Who knows, you might even get the chance to fight their leader, the bane lord.

So gather enough ingredients, earn favour points, and keep the cauldron boiling until June 25, server save, in order to succeed. A special book which you can find in the green claw swamp will provide you with further information on the event and your task.

In case of success, your entire game world will be rewarded with an experience bonus of 50%. In addition, by contributing to the event you can earn favour points which you can trade for potions and a pet raven with Minzy.

Have fun and fill the cauldron!

You've had your snacks. Now it is time for the main course....

Upcoming next: Some words to describe an unexpected power...

The second feature teaser focuses on a straightforward quality of life improvement: making special conditions on the player character more clearly visible by displaying them inside the game window. At the same time, you will gain control over which conditions are shown and how they are prioritised. This feature is therefore completely optional and can be customised according to your own needs.

The most important facts about the display of special conditions in the gaming window in a nutshell:

• Special condition icons appear vertically in a bar to the left of the health arc, based on its default size.
• This special conditions bar can be displayed independently, regardless of whether you are playing with arcs on or off.
• A maximum of six icons can be displayed, if more special conditions are active, this is indicated with a "..." icon.
• Icons are shown in top-to-bottom order, based on your settings.
• A dark backdrop ensures the icons stand out against game visuals.
• The arc opacity slider also affects the opacity of the icons and their backdrop.

Furthermore, you will be able to decide which special conditions show up in the status bar and/or game window and choose the order they appear in. These things can be adjusted under Options → Interface → HUD.

• All special conditions that can affect your character are listed with icon and name and two checkboxes (one for status bar and one for the HUD in the game window). 
• Simply uncheck a box to hide that condition from the selected area (example: you can show the Protection Zone icon in the status bar, but hide it in the game window).
• Use arrow buttons to change the order of special conditions, just like sorting shortcuts. The same order applies to both the status bar and the game window.
• The special conditions for Resting Area, High Risk, Rotten Blood, and Mana Shield are each grouped under a single checkbox in the options.
• This feature is enabled by default for new client versions.

Hopefully, the fresh display of special conditions will be of value for you in many battles and enhance your overall gaming experience!
