Update 0.40 — New Events, Mounts and Season Preparation

Hello, adventurers! Tony here ⚡

Update 0.40 introduces a new way to travel across locations — mounts — adds the Stable, and begins Ligmar Online’s preparation for its first season. Seasonal systems will be unlocked gradually, but you can start preparing now: new events featuring future seasonal resources will appear in locations.

In short:

• 🌒 First Season preparation: seasonal content will unlock step by step, with the first related activities arriving on August 17.
• 🌀 New location events: you may now have to fight a chest’s guardians in city locations to earn a more valuable reward.
• 🐎 Mounts: long-distance travel across locations, automatic route planning, following the party leader, and chasing opponents.
• 🏠 Stable: manage mounts and gain extra Backpack slots for every character on your account.
• 🔧 Updates and fixes to existing mechanics.

🌒 First Season: Preparation Begins

Update 0.40 begins preparations for Ligmar Online’s first season. Starting Monday, August 17, you will be able to take part in new events in regular locations and collect seasonal resources!

The full season will be unlocked in stages, with its own progression, heroes, quests, crafting, leaderboards, and special rewards. Closer to launch, we will share more details about its rules, rewards, and what happens to seasonal heroes once it ends.

🌀 New Location Events

This update introduces a new event type in city locations: the Cursed Chest.

The Cursed Chest looks like an Epic Chest, but activating it reveals a risky combat event: you must defeat two waves of enemies and a final champion.

Cursed Chest Rewards

After defeating the final Champion, you receive:

• rewards equivalent to defeating two Champions of the corresponding level;
• x10 Enhancement Crystal;
• x1–2 Grand Epic Chest.

You also have a 5% chance to receive one additional personal reward:

🐎 Mounts and Mounted Travel

You no longer need to plot a long route manually in city locations: your active mount can carry your hero to any available cell. Select a destination on the map, and the game will automatically build and follow a route.

How Travel Works

• Normal movement to an adjacent cell remains unchanged.
• For long-distance travel, select an available cell on the map. The game will build a route around inaccessible cells.
• Before setting off, your hero summons their mount. Summoning takes 5 seconds; after that, movement continues at one cell every 5 seconds.
• You can cancel the route by selecting the chosen cell again.
• While riding, you cannot attack or use skills. Control effects interrupt movement.
• Long-distance travel is available in regular locations. In basements, party and guild dungeons, and active Territorial War battles, movement remains turn-based.

Following and Chasing

• If the party leader starts riding, members who are following the leader and have an active mount will automatically follow. A member without an active mount remains on their current cell and stops following.
• If a selected opponent rides away from the same cell, a pursuer with an active mount gains the Chase action for 3 seconds. There is no separate activation range: it only triggers from the same cell and does not consume Action Points or Stamina.
• After activation, the mount is summoned in 2.5 seconds, then the hero follows the target’s route. While the pursuer is behind, moving between cells takes 2 seconds; after catching up, it returns to the normal 5 seconds. Stun, Sleep, Immobilize, and other restricting effects cancel the chase.
• Only the route owner can see their riding route.

How to Get a Mount

Three mounts will be available with this update:

The Riding Horse and Silver Trotter are sold in the Stable. They become available after you build it and reach account level 20. Sapphire Phantom is available only in the Newcomer Pack, which can be purchased before building the Stable.

🏠 Stable

A new building has appeared in the Estate — the Stable. It lets you choose an active mount and permanently increases Backpack capacity for every character on your account.

• Unlocks at account level 20.
• Lets you view unlocked mounts and choose an active mount.
• Each level increases the total Backpack bonus by 1 slot. At level 5, the building grants a maximum bonus of +5 Backpack slots.
  • The building’s maximum level is 5.

🎁 New Awakening of Power Event

A new Shop event is now live!

Open Sealed Urns during the event to progress along your personal reward track and steadily earn Ancient Shards — one of the game’s most valuable and rare resources.

• ⚒️ The key to top-tier forging and smelting: Ancient Shards are required to improve an item’s magical properties. They are what turn good items into perfect ones.
• 📈 Guaranteed progression: every urn you open advances the event track — you always see your goal and move step by step toward the best rewards.

Do not miss the chance to earn as many resources as possible while the event is active!

🔧 Changes to Existing Mechanics

🏚️ Locations and Basements

• Basements are now more rewarding: after victory, you will receive one of three final discoveries, while rewards from Epic Chests and Cursed Chests are increased by 1.5 times.
  • Lectern — 50%;
  • Epic Chest — 35%;
  • Cursed Chest — 15%.
• Lost Cargo no longer appears at the end of a basement, but remains a regular event on location cells.

🛍️ Shop and Offers

• The Newcomer Pack has been updated and now includes the new legendary mount: Sapphire Phantom.
• After the Shop assortment is updated, changes now appear correctly without requiring players to log in again.

🐞 Fixes

Guilds

• Removing a player from a guild can no longer incorrectly end a guild dungeon.
• Fixed an issue where a new invitation might not appear after a player left a guild on their own.

Parties

• Fixed a party-creation issue: a player found by name is no longer considered unavailable simply because their online status is hidden.
• After a party invitation is sent successfully, the button becomes inactive immediately and can no longer send duplicate invitations.

Items

• Fixed cases where an item from an active set might not appear in the Backpack or could prevent unbinding.
• Fixed item and Shop offer displays after data updates.
• Fixed the description of Skin Chests: they now correctly state that they contain Skin Fragments, rather than complete skins.
