Born Again Online 9+

# 1.1 Rebirth Update

## Damage & Health
We've revamped the damage mechanics for both enemies and players, making the game more challenging while speeding up progression with higher drop rates and faster leveling.

## Settlements
New settlements in T1 and T2 zones provide fast travel to deeper map areas. These will soon offer unique quests and rewards.

## Bounties
Bounties, available via bounty posts, offer short tasks for players, providing consistent loot and quick level-ups.

## Boss Armor System
A new armor system for bosses now converts stuns, slows, roots, and knockbacks into armor damage. Depleting this armor bar leaves the boss vulnerable.

## Sub-Biomes
To improve gameplay around boss fights, we've added dedicated enemy spawns and handcrafted arenas, enhancing thematic cohesion across all overworld maps.

## Abilities
We've adjusted item abilities, increasing cooldowns but enhancing effects. Agility abilities maintain lower cooldowns to suit their playstyle.

## Items
All items have been balanced, with mythic and rare items receiving mini-reworks. Items now have larger power gaps on shape changes.

## Classes
Classes have been rebalanced to emphasize their unique playstyles.

## Stats
Stats have been revamped:
- Strength: +1.5% damage output per point
- Dexterity: Attacks Per Second value
- Vigor: Health Per Second value
- Speed: Increased tiles per second
- Defense: Min damage threshold lowered to 25%

## Thread & Resetting
Blessings can be removed anytime at the cost of their charge. Resetting now grants +2 slots, +25 honor, retains blessings and charges, and requires max level, encouraging character progression.

## Loot Chances
Drop rates ensure more loot chances, with additional damage converting to excess loot chances at diminishing rates.

## Leveling
Max level is now 21, with each level providing more power. Leveling is faster, especially early on, and each level grants +1 honor. You’ll earn about +50 honor by level 21, with adjusted prices.

## Enemy Behaviors
Enemy behaviors have been redesigned for increased difficulty and more interesting interactions. T3 and T2 enemies have higher base health but reduced scaling per player.

## Status Effects
- Dazed: 50% control, 50% movement
- Invulnerable: Disables hit detection
- Healing: +15 hp/sec
- Empowered: +15% damage
- Armored: +10 & +50% defense
- Fury: +20% attacks per second

## Encounter Spawning
Encounters now spawn in dedicated zones, allowing simultaneous or continuous T3 fights with lowered respawn rates.

## Realm Sealing
The day/night system now indicates sealing progress. Sealing takes longer, with one T3 kill advancing the Realm by 80 points (1000 needed).
