Greetings Mortals,
The Sprint 4 PTR will be going live shortly today, and will be up for a few days.
How to access the PTR
- Open your Steam client and right click Mortal Online 2 in your games library.
- Click ‘Properties’
- Click ‘Betas’ on the left
- Using the ‘Beta Participation’ dropdown menu, click on the ‘Mortal Online Public Test Realm’.
- Your Steam client will then patch your game over to the test branch, and if the servers are up already you will be free to log in as normal.
What's New?
Our latest update is going live shortly on the PTR server for early testing!
This patch introduces the Mastery System, which allows for more detailed customization and progression of your character via earning levels and spending points in a new tree. This new system is rather large and complex, and is where we would appreciate the most feedback and attention during this PTR.
The patch also includes a newly rideable creature, the Wisent, along with craftable Wisent bags.
We also have a brand new dungeon to explore in this patch, however as always it is not present in this PTR.
Lastly, there is a new medium armor set in this patch called “Kallardian Banded”. We are still fine tuning the stats at the moment so it will not be craftable on the PTR.
Mastery System
After reaching clade level 20, any Glory that your character earns will contribute to your Mastery Experience. You can open the Mastery System by pressing “Y” or using the micro tab at the bottom of your screen once you have reached level 20.
You can unlock 1000 levels of Mastery and spend 110 Mastery Points on 440+ different mastery Gifts. Levels beyond 110 currently unlock titles.
To unlock a Mastery Gift simply hold down the left mouse while hovering it in the tree. Some Mastery Gifts require an item to unlock and you can only unlock a gift if you have unlocked its parent gift first.
You can at any point refund a Mastery Gift and get your Mastery Point back by holding the left mouse button on an unlocked gift with no unlocked children. This requires you to have one Shard Of Oblivion that will be spent when you refund the gift.
Each clade has a slightly different Mastery Tree but most of the gifts are shared between all clades.
When testing, know that many of the Mastery Gift values may change between now and when the patch goes live.
The amount of clade experience gained when earning Glory has been heavily increased on the PTR to reduce the time it takes to get to level 20, along with the amount of Mastery experience gained to allow for easier testing.
Certain aspects of the Mastery system require items, which can be obtained on the PTR via the Material Supplier NPC who will be spawned in each town. To use them, first purchase “Money Milk” from the Material Supplier and sell it back to the NPC for gold which you can use to purchase the Mastery items “Shard of Oblivion” and “Elixir of Aptitude”.
