As part of a new Shadowbane event surrounding the upcoming 2.5 patch, Ubisoft is increasing the rate of character experience gain by 100% beginning tomorrow until May 5. The new Rise of the Upstart Gods patch is expected to launch at the end of this month. Also during that time, an official Treasure Hunt event will take place where many unique and powerful items can be discovered across the worlds of Aerynth.  The two week long event is called Convergence, and more details can be found at the Chronicle of Strife community website (http://chronicle.ubi.com). Patch 2.5 will introduce a wide array of performance improvements to the game along with new discipline and race runes. You can find a detailed list of the planned patch changes in the Chronicle?s In-Development section (http://chronicle.ubi.com/About/In-Development.htm).
