What's Coming
to Laurum Online

A look at the road ahead — in the order things are planned to ship. This is a solo, hobby-paced project, so there are no dates attached. Ideas may shift, but the direction is clear.

  Order is our intent, not a promise. Things evolve.

The Road Ahead


1

Elements, Tempering and the Great Rebalance

Combat Done, in testing

Gear rolls elemental damage and up to three resistances, and monsters deal elemental damage: resist what hits you, hit what they are weak to. Tempering lets you spend materials to raise a chosen item's stats beyond its roll. Every class, monster and arena number has been re-tuned together for PvE and PvP.

  • Elemental damage & resistances
  • Tempering
  • Whole-game rebalance

Endless Progression

Progression In Progress

No more caps. The level cap goes from 150 to 9000 and the rebirth cap from 30 to 9000, in steps. Training orbs raise one stat by one level, up to 2000. Gear quality goes past 80, one new step per rebirth. New EXP curve: rebirths 1 to 30 get cheaper, nobody loses progress and some accounts gain levels on login. Past 30 the cost grows slowly forever, so the top stays rare.

  • Level 9000
  • Rebirth 9000
  • Training orbs to 2000
  • Quality beyond 80
  • Cheaper rebirths 1–30

Choose Your Difficulty

World In Progress

One difficulty dial in every zone, 50 steps: tougher monsters, better loot. Every ten steps the monsters change element, and past step 40 they mix. Pick your reward type before you fight. One world for everyone: no more Normal, Hard, Nightmare and Terror servers.

  • 50-step difficulty dial
  • Elemental bands
  • Pick your reward
  • One world

Dungeons Come Outside

World

Dungeon maps and their bosses move into the open world as permanent areas and encounters.

  • Dungeon maps in the open world
  • Bosses as open-world encounters
5

New Gear, New Lands

World Exploring, very likely

Ten new gear sets per class, each built for one element or one playstyle, so every step of the difficulty ladder has a set worth chasing. Two new maps to explore. In design now, and very likely to ship.

  • 10 new sets per class
  • Elemental & playstyle sets
  • Two new maps
