Technical maintenance has been successfully completed! Here’s everything you need to know about the latest update to Life is Feudal: MMO:

New Features

Active-Passive Skill Progression System:

• We’ve introduced a new active-passive skill progression system to enhance your gameplay experience. This system encourages players to engage in the activities they wish to improve. You will now gain additional direct experience for performing actions until you have locked a skill to level up. For example, if you're actively mining, you will not only fill the standard experience pool but also receive some direct experience in Mining.

• We have not changed the speed of passive skill progression. Experience from active actions is a bonus. According to our estimates, this will speed up leveling by 10% - 20%, but this value depends on the skill being leveled and the chosen method of active training.

We look forward to your feedback on this change and are ready to adjust both the parameters of the entire system and individual skills.

New Player Buffs:

• New temporary buffs are available for newcomers after character creation. These include:

1. A 30% increase in experience gain from all sources for 3 days.

2. A 30% acceleration in skill experience distribution for 3 days.

Guild Management Enhancement:

• Guild leaders now have the ability to reset support points at outposts, allowing for more strategic control over guild resources. You can't reset support points at buildings where an enemy outpost is set up nearby.

We've made some changes to the Repair system. Previously, we removed the quality loss from Repair Kits, but we haven't completely abandoned the idea of implementing such a mechanic. The overall principle remains that repair serves as a means of removing resources from the game to facilitate their circulation and maintain activity at any stage of the server's life.

Repair Equipment Skill:

• The Repair Armor skill (workbench ability) has been revamped and renamed Repair Equipment. Players can now repair Weapons, Armor, Tools, Clothing, and more. Repairs require 1/4 of the crafting materials for the item. Using higher-quality workbench for repairs will restore more durability to the item. The quality of the materials used for repairs is not considered; only the quality of the workbench matters. Since most recipes use "common materials", it doesn't matter if you use the worst one, the quality of the materials doesn't matter. So you can repair a q100 blacksmith hammer using a q1 iron ingot.

• Note that maximum durability and quality remain unchanged after repairs.

Repair Kits Changes:

• Repair Kits will remain a mobile way to repair items, but they will still have a chance of losing durability when used. Now, when repairing items with Repair Kits, there will be some quality loss, but it will be much less than before.

• Small repair kit durability restoration 40-60 → 60-100

• Chance to restore with durability loss 40-80% (depending on luck)

• Maximum durability loss 0 → 1%

The new version is more forgiving than the original and retains the ability to repair without losing maximum quality.
