This topic will cover changes coming to Talking Island x3 server on next Monday 24.10.2022 This will be an update almost entirely aimed to end game players. HUNTING ZONES ITEMS OTHER CHANGES HUNTING ZONES HELLBOUND With the new patch, players will be able to venture into the Hellbound island, where a series of new enemies, quests, objectives, gear and challengers awaits. Hellbound area work on a progressive system, where players can unlock new areas and new enemies by completing certain objectives and increasing their trust levels with the natives in the zone. This system has a 7 level progress window (for now), where level one is the most basic, and level 7 is the big one where players get to challenge and relentless chimeras and the scary celtus, and gain access to the final level of the trust with natives that will allow them to exchange items they obtain from monsters to exchange for S grade armors, jewels and weapons recipes and key materials. To gain access to the Hellbound island players will have to complete a quest called Path to Hellbound. This is a level 78+ quest and starts on NPC Casian in wastelands.
