Changelog
The most important features/modifications implemented towards this season's map and functions are the following.
New! SpawnA new OpFactions season means a brand-new spawn to kick off the new season and warzone, and this season brings a fresh theme once again.
A Spawn and Warzone with a Pirate theme.
Capture the outpost for some extra rewards.
Are you looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features.
A new seasonal crate has been added again.
New! Party DuelsThe duel system is back and better than ever.
The 1v1 duel system is also re-enabled with this update, so time for a wager.
Create a PartyYou can now create a party and invite your friends. Another party of the same size can then challenge you to a duel, allowing for team based fights instead of only 1v1 battles.
Wager SupportParty Duels also support wagers, so you can risk money during your fight and compete for bigger rewards.
This brings a fresh and competitive way to duel, making fights more fun whether you play solo or with friends.
New! Item FilterAs OpFactions continues to grow with more content, new sets, weapons, consumables, and custom items, the Item Filter system had fallen behind.
This season, the Item Filter has received a major overhaul to match the current meta and amount of content.
Full Category ControlYou can now individually enable or disable items from specific categories.
Sets
Weapons
Consumables
And other Custom Items
This gives you full control over what you want to automatically pick up, and what you don’t.
Enchantment Level FiltersThe Item Filter now supports filtering items based on specific enchantment levels.
For example, you can:
- Ignore low-tier enchantments
- Only pick up items above a certain Sharpness level
- Filter out unwanted enchant combinations
- Keep only high-value gear
New! MinesNew mines have been added with an updated world setup.
New Warzone Mine WorldThe Warzone ores have been moved to a new world.
This world is only accessible starting from day 2 and during the grace period.
Adjusted Ore PricesOre prices have been adjusted to better match progression.
This makes the new mine world a valuable place to grind and earn money during grace.
New! Dynamic Shop PricingSeveral factions reported that early game progression was too fast, making it difficult for newer players to catch up later in the season.
To help balance the economy and slow down the early advantage, we are introducing Dynamic Shop Pricing.
Gradual Price ScalingInstead of starting at full value immediately, mob-drop sell prices will gradually increase as the season progresses.
This reduces early snowballing while keeping farming rewarding later in the season.
Price ProgressionDay 1: 40% of max sell price
Day 2: 60% of max sell price
Day 3: 70% of max sell price
Day 4: 75% of max sell price
Day 5: 80% of max sell price
Day 6: 85% of max sell price
Day 7: 90% of max sell price
Day 8: 95% of max sell price
Day 9: 100% of max sell price
Why This ChangeThis system helps balance early progression and prevents factions from gaining an overwhelming advantage on the first days of the season, while still keeping mob farming profitable later on.
New! Spawner LockingTo slow down early-game progression and make mob farming more structured, a new Spawner Unlock system has been introduced during the grace period.
Spawners Locked During GraceDuring grace, players cannot purchase spawners unless they have been unlocked in the shop.
Unlock Spawners by ProgressionSpawners are unlocked by killing mobs from the previously unlocked spawner tier. As you farm mobs, you will gradually unlock stronger spawners in the shop.
Kill mobs from your current unlocked spawner to unlock the next tier of spawners available for purchase.
Grace EndOnce the grace period ends, all spawners will automatically become unlocked again and can be purchased normally.
New! Dungeon Exclusive EnchantmentsThree brand new enchantments have been added to the game.
These enchants can only be obtained through the Dungeon Shops, making them exclusive rewards for players who complete dungeon runs.
Blindness Enchant - Gives your attacks a chance to apply Blindness to your opponent, temporarily limiting their vision during combat.
Wither Enchant - Gives your attacks a chance to apply Wither, slowly draining your opponent’s health over time.
Slowness Enchant - Gives your attacks a chance to apply Slowness, reducing your opponent’s movement speed and making it harder for them to escape or reposition.
Updated! Spawner PlacementSpawner placement rules have been updated and this change is final.
Placement Lock Before PayoutsSpawner placement will be disabled 3 days before every bi weekly payout.
It will also be disabled 5 days before the final payout of the season.
This means if you are too late with placing your spawners, they will not count for that payout period.
Make sure to keep an eye on the payouts menu so you know exactly when placement will be locked.
Plan ahead and place your spawners in time to secure your Faction value.
Updated! RaidingRaiding has been updated to make cannon fights fairer and prevent abuse through side claims or illegal raid setups.
Raid Claims RequiredRaiding can now only be done using Raid Claims.
If a player shoots from a side claim or normal claim, they will NOT receive a raid timer and their TNT will not damage the target faction’s claim.
Raid Timer RulesA faction can only start a raid timer if they are using a Raid Claim.
If a faction manages to obtain a timer but attempts to raid using side claims or normal claims, their TNT will not work.
Only TNT shot from the Raid Claim that initiated the raid timer will be able to damage the defending faction’s claim.
Raid Claim ProtectionWhen a raid timer is active:
- Only the defending faction (the faction being raided) can shoot cannons at the Raid Claim and attempt to side it.
- Other factions cannot interfere with cannons inside that Raid Claim if they do not have a timer.
- However, anyone is still able to shoot at the Raid Claim itself.
Timer ExpirationOnce the raid timer ends, the protection on the Raid Claim also ends and normal interactions resume.
Updated! Special SetsAll special armor sets have been rebalanced this season to improve overall PvP balance and reduce excessive damage stacking.
Damage & Defense Values ReducedAll sets that previously had bonuses such as +more damage or -less damage have had those values reduced by half.
Example:
- 10% more damage → 5% more damage
- 10% less damage → 5% less damage
Updated! DungeonsDungeon combat has been rebalanced to improve pacing and reduce unnecessary difficulty during runs.
Mob & Boss Health ReducedThe health of regular dungeon mobs has been reduced by 60%. This allows players to clear rooms faster and keeps dungeon runs flowing smoothly.
Boss health has been reduced by 25%, making boss fights less drawn out while still maintaining their challenge.
Updated! Raiding OutpostThe Raiding Outpost rewards have been updated to follow a dynamic scaling system, similar to the shop sell price changes.
Closed on Day 1The Raiding Outpost will now be closed during the first day of the season to prevent early snowballing.
Reward ScalingRaiding Outpost rewards will gradually increase over the first days of the season and reach their maximum value after Day 9.
Reward ProgressionDay 1: Closed
Day 2: 40% of maximum rewards
Day 3: 60% of maximum rewards
Day 4: 70% of maximum rewards
Day 5: 75% of maximum rewards
Day 6: 80% of maximum rewards
Day 7: 85% of maximum rewards
Day 8: 90% of maximum rewards
Day 9: 100% (maximum rewards)
