11The Nightling Update, also called the Nightling Invasion, is Farever's first Major Update. It released on the live servers on July 15, 2026 as version 0.2.0.28315, after a preview period that ran on a public test branch from June 23. The update opens a new front in the war for Siagarta: demons pour in from another world through the Rifts, a new fortress city called Ramburg becomes explorable, and the level cap rises so that Farseekers can grow past the launch ceiling.22What the Update Adds55FeatureWhat It AddsRiftsA recurring demon-invasion world event in Skover Island and the Valley of Eternal Autumn.RamburgThe city of the Crimson Rams, a new region with two instances and its own boss.Demon HunterA merchant who trades Rift rewards for demonic gear, weapons, upgrades, mounts, and companions.Level cap 25The cap rises from 20 to 25, and dungeon hard mode is re-tuned to level 25.New weaponsMartyr of Enripit and the Censer of the Wool Hollow from instances, plus demonic weapons from the Demon Hunter.Collectibles and recipesOver fifty new collectibles and new crafting recipes for every profession.Quality of lifeHide your helmet or any equipment piece, and a spectator camera if you fall during a boss fight.PerformanceBroad optimization work, reduced visual effects from other players, and DLSS support.77The Rifts88Every hour, a Rift tears open somewhere in Skover Island or the Valley of Eternal Autumn. A group of up to a dozen players steps inside to fight the demons spilling from its gates and to close those gates before the Rift's boss arrives. The more gates a group closes, the better the reward. Closing them earns a unique currency spent with the Demon Hunter.1010The City of Ramburg1212The stronghold of the Crimson Rams opens as a full region. Players climb through the Lower City, uncover the Cathedral and its secrets, and face the region's master, High Inquisitor Chakram. Ramburg holds two instances: the Crimson Barracks dungeon and the boss fight against High Inquisitor Chakram. See Ramburg for the region's layout.1414New Weapons and Gear1616Two unique weapons, the Martyr of Enripit and the Censer of the Wool Hollow, can be claimed in the update's instances. A separate line of demonic weapons, along with unique gear sets, spark crystals, and demonic upgrades, is sold by the Demon Hunter for Rift currency. For how weapons feed a build, see Weapons and the Arsenal.17+Two unique weapons, the Martyr of Enripit and the Censer of the Wool Hollow, can be claimed in instances. The Censer comes from the new High Inquisitor Chakram fight in Ramburg, while the Martyr drops from King Ratsar back on Skover Island, so one of the update's two new weapons is earned in launch content rather than in the new region. A separate line of demonic weapons, along with unique gear sets, spark crystals, and demonic upgrades, is sold by the Demon Hunter for Rift currency. For how weapons feed a build, see Weapons and the Arsenal.1818Level Cap and Balance2020The level cap rises from 20 to 25, and the hard mode for existing dungeons has been adjusted to match. The update also carries a large balance pass across classes and weapons. For how leveling works, see Attributes and Progression.2222Quality of Life and Performance2424You can now hide your helmet or any other piece of equipment for a cleaner look, and a spectator camera lets you keep watching a boss fight after your character falls. On the technical side, the update reduces the visual effects other players project, adds DLSS as an option on supported hardware, and continues client and server optimization.2626After Launch2828The update did not land finished.
