RavenQuest, a free-to-play sandbox MMO, is set to release its latest update titled Munk Madness on November 22, enriching the game with a festival atmosphere and competitive enhancements. Known for combining traditional MMO elements with blockchain integration, RavenQuest offers players ownership of digital assets such as land and equipment.
Introduction to Munk Madness
One of the main attractions of this expansion is the Munk Carnival, accessible via the Root Portal in Ravencrest. Now open to all players following an October test limited to landowners, the Carnival boasts mini-games, festive activities, and player interactions centered around fun and friendly competition.
Carnival Attractions and Games
At the heart of the Munk Carnival, players will find several alluring attractions: the adrenaline-pumping Moa Racing, the chance-driven Lucky Raffle, and the rewarding Fortune Wheel. Each of these games requires Carnival Chips, a special currency that participants can earn or purchase with in-game silver or lucky coins. Even in losses, players receive stubs, which can be used for additional spins on the Fortune Wheel, offering a continual stream of engagement and reward.
- Moa Racing:
Every two minutes, an exciting bout of Moa Racing begins, featuring six unique birds in a fast-paced competition. Players place their bets using Carnival or Lucky Chips, watching as these unpredictable avian competitors race to the finish line. - Lucky Raffle:
Hosted by Cornelius Goldwhisker, this raffle draws every 72 hours, offering substantial rewards ranging from rare items to essential cosmetics. The use of Carnival Chips to purchase tickets increases a player’s chances of winning. - Fortune Wheel:
This feature allows players to turn in their Carnival and Lucky Stubs for a chance to win from a pool of prizes, including new pets that join players on their in-game adventures.
PvP Overhaul and Guild Wars
Alongside the fun-filled Carnival, Munk Madness will enhance the PvP experience by revamping the Guild versus Guild (GvG) mechanics and introducing an Open World PvP Monolith. This addition aims to create more dynamic and rewarding combat opportunities in the game world, although specific details about the Monolith’s mechanics remain under wraps.
Enhanced PvE Challenges and New Pets
The update is not limited to PvP enhancements; it also introduces increased difficulty levels for PvE content such as Expeditions and Aether Echoes. These high-stakes challenges are designed to offer richer rewards and heighten the thrill of gameplay. Alongside these challenges, a range of new pets and themed mounts will be made available, further adding to the game’s vibrant and ever-expanding universe.
Additional Features and Future Developments
A balance patch accompanies the Munk Madness update, tweaking class skills and item attributes to better align with the new features. Additionally, RavenQuest is preparing for future releases, including a mobile version that will expand the accessibility of the game.
The trailer for Munk Madness, now accessible online, showcases a sneak peek into the carnival’s vivid visuals and new gaming experiences. With just over a week left until the release following the end of the Harvest Eve Halloween event, excitement among the player base is palpable, setting the stage for this extensive update to make a significant impact on the world of RavenQuest.
