Trials of the Plague (v75)

New Content, Features & Improvements

  • A new endgame challenge has arrived! Adventurers who have reached level 160 can now venture into the Infected Cavern, accessible from Sunfall Cave, and take on the Trials of the Plague!
  • Face off against Boliaph: the Infected, Choh-Bih: The Scourge, and Vexren: Source of the Plague in challenging new trials featuring ranged enemies and dangerous dodgeable AoE attacks! There are no previous endgame requirements to enter these trials. If you’re level 160, you’re ready to jump in!
  • New endgame gear and crafting materials! Clearing the Trials of the Plague can reward you with 4 new non-tradeable unique gear sets and dusts, a new type of crafting material used in this endgame’s progression. These sets introduce a brand-new stat element: Plague, which you’ll need to face the hardest challenges the Trials have to offer. The Trials also feature the most generous drop rates of any Eterspire endgame so far. Happy grinding!
  • New Quest: "Poor Unfortunate Soul". Help a goblin in need of paranormal assistance! Speak with Bighands in Bogtown at level 78 to begin this spooky little adventure.
  • New Quest: "The Search for the Amulets". Venture into the Bouli Bouli Cave to recover Ethelred’s lost amulets. Start this quest in the Firefly Grove at level 31!

Eterspire Store

The Majestic Sorcerer Set is now available in the Eterspire Store!

  • This elegant new cosmetic set is based on a concept submitted by community member Starcoat during our latest cosmetic set idea contest. Thank you for the magical inspiration!
  • This is also our first complete cosmetic set available for direct purchase, rather than through a cosmetic lootbox. If this standalone set does well, we'll consider adding more sets outside of lootboxes in the future!

Behind the Scenes

  • Our content team is hard at work on the upcoming Fishing skill rework, and we’re very excited to bring it to you in the next update! To make the wait a little easier, here’s a sneak peek at some early concepts.


  • We recently unveiled our roadmap for June, July, and August! You can check out the features and content planned for the next quarter at eterspire.com/roadmap.
  • 114 accounts have been banned for using modded or unofficial clients, which is against the Eterspire Rules.

Community

  • Our latest Community Event, Goblin Gathering, has ended, and rewards have been given out. Adventurers were so excited to share their favorite Goblins that they ended up crushing the goals we set up in less than a week. Uh, so now what?We introduced a stretch goal, with a pair of swanky (and stinky?) Green Goblin Feet as the reward. And of course, you smashed it again. Thank you all!
  • As always, a new event will begin shortly, with rewards for all participants! If you don't want to miss it, you should join our official Discord server! Tell them I sent you.
  • There's still two days left on SamStar and Matseledox's fan-hosted event! If you want to win some in-game goodies, you can check out the rules over here, in our Discord Server. Have I mentioned our official Discord server yet? Yes? Do you want see me do it again?
  • We also hosted one of our Flash Events this past week (yes, in our official Discord server, you should know by now). You can read the prompts and winning responses here! We'll be trying to host once a week. Don't miss your chance to prove that Eterspire players do have more jokes than "Archer = Fisher."

That's it!

Thank you for reading, we hope you enjoy this update very much!

The next Eterspire update will be on June 15th, according to our Release Schedule. Remember that Eterspire updates release on the 14th and 28th, unless that day falls on a Friday, holiday, or weekend, in which case it will be released on the next business day.

Have fun!

Flash Events

This last week, we hosted Eterspire's very own version of Quiplash, a minigame where we give you some questions and you fill in the blank with your smartest, quirkiest answers! The players had a time-limit of three minutes to think what to reply. We then chose three spectacularly hilarious winners, and sometimes a handful of honorary mentions.

If you don't want to miss the next Flash Event, join our Discord server (oh my God, again?) to get notified when they are about to begin!

The first prompt was:

"It really does a goblin good. Try Bogtown's new delicacy: ______ soup!"

The winning answers were:

  • Hemogoblin (protein for goblins) by Shlug
  • Fermented toe-nail soup by Arknata
  • Wet sock soup, a Bogtown classic since nobody knows when by _kfz_

The second prompt was:

"I have the worst luck. I killed the new Remnant 300 times and it only dropped ______."

The winning answers were:

  • An Inventory Full notification by Grezora
  • My eyelids by Queen_cozy
  • A $0.03 amazon gift card by Stormzone

The third prompt was:

"Before becoming Captain Suller, Captain Suller was ______."

The winning answers were:

  • Living the life of a frog until Old Guswacha's passionate French kiss by Bunnyburger
  • John Sullerman, Attorney-at-law by Graw
  • A brunette by Fries007

A technical issue by our clumsy Community Manager (which is definitely not me) resulted in fourth prompt compensation. Surely it won't happen again. The final prompt was:

"The new cosmetic set is terrible! Have you seen it? It's entirely based on ______."

The winning answers were:

  • Old Guswacha's 300 year old lingerie by Katai
  • The vandalized statue of Gaturro by Inkstar
  • Different varieties of cheese. I mean Asiago is alright, but Feta... Eww... by Exbeon
  • (Honorable Mention) Horrors beyond my comprehension by Pygmyturtle
  • (Honorable Mention) Corporate sadness by Queen_cozy
  • (Honorable Mention) Manu's sketches ideas by Grezora
