Revision - the nightling update - Farever Wiki

The 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.

The Rifts

Every 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.

The City of Ramburg

The 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.

New Weapons and Gear

Two 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.

Level Cap and Balance

The 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.

Quality of Life and Performance

You 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.
