The question remains…
Will it still be bullshit because all of the items will be cosmetic? Or will this actually be useful
Oh god, it’s happening, stay calm!
RAID!!! 
BLACK FLAG LETS GOOOO
And with that,
Empires Update
Coming out in just a bit over a single day now, we can review everything we’re all going to get to experience Friday. I’ll try to sum it up, just because the current update info tab isn’t completely up to date.
- 4 new minibosses, two of which use lost magics, all of which have unique drops.
- 3 brand new dark sea armor sets
- Abyss diving, a more rewarding and more dangerous version of regular diving
- Fort Catrum - A siege on a fortress starting with ship combat and culminating in a fight against waves of Bronze Legion soldiers, capped off with a boss fight against one of the new aforementioned minibosses.
- 5 new islands in the bronze sea, 3 new islands in the Nimbus sea, including the Assassin Syndicate & Grand Navy bases.
- Building & Farming on clan claimed islands. You can build and defend an island, set up shopkeepers, and most importantly farm resources and galleons for your clan.
- 2 New Spells, 1 new technique, 1 new weapon move
- “Lost Armor sets”, 2 new very rare armor sets found only from digging up treasure charts.
- First Magic change
- The First roaming miniboss, Evander
- Elysium rework & Teleport potion
- New titles to obtain (Philosopher line of titles, obtained from placed notes)
- Brigs in the Nimbus Sea
- New Jewel effects
- Intensity reworked into Attack Cooldown
- Higher level npcs will start using rare spells and techniques
Hell, I’m pretty sure with how big this update is I’ve missed plenty, but there’s a lot here.

Please keep in mind that while the discussion thread is a lot more lax when it comes to moderation compared to Reminders for AO, intentional derailment, spam and off-topic conversations are still against the Forum rules.

just make it so they’re only visible if you’re really close and from an enemy clan/no clan (since those are the people they affect)
