Gala-Net has announced that the v2.0.02 patch has officially arrived for Allods Online. The new patch brings several key changes to the game including a level cap increase, new mounts, new vanity items, new allods to explore, draconic and refining weapons features added and more. New players to Allods Online will also receive an awesome gift package.

• Additional spells and abilities for all archetypes! All archetypes will receive new spells and abilities as well as rebalancing of old spells and abilities. As a result, the talent trees and talent grids have been expanded and all characters will receive a free respec.
• Two new gear systems! Two new systems will be introduced that change the dynamics of how powerful gear is obtained. In the refining system, gear from heroics and allods in the Astral can be improved with the use of reagents gained from PvP events. In the draconic relic system, special items can be obtained from raids to create a second set of gear that can be activated periodically with the use of a special spell with a long cooldown. Neither of these systems involves the Item Shop, and this change means that players will have to focus on all aspects of the game – heroics, allods in the Astral, PvP events, and raids – in order to obtain the best gear in the game.
• Interface improvements! This includes the long-awaited mini-map as well as other convenient tweaks such as an improved guild interface, a status system, and an improved chat interface.
• The effects of Incense are less powerful! With the new patch Incense will no longer be required to benefit from many of the bonuses a patron provides, meaning that only high level players will be likely to use Incense. Despite this change, the daily quest that rewards players with Incense will remain in the game./li>
