Wednesday October 5th, 2016

Things to be aware of: (click read more)

IMPORTANT

• A large amount of currencies are being removed from the game. [Click Here] for what is being removed and converted into. There is no conversion rates on that post, so if you do not wish to have them present in the Pre-Patch, use them up!
• Divine Form is getting some major changes! Read the points below "Divine Form Changes" to be ready for it!
• You will not be allowed to convert Credits to Argents after October 5th. Do it now if you want some Argents!
• Please refer to this [Click Here] for an unofficial conversion table rate. Note this table is incomplete or accurate as of this post.

FLUID OF INCARNATIONS

• These items are going away in the Pre-Patch. Make sure you get your 1st Legendary Ring if you can before October 5th! If you manage to acquire your 1st Legendary Ring, congratulations! You will have 3 Legendary Artifacts upon Pre-Patch launch date. Otherwise, you will be getting what appears to be 3,000 "new" credits for every Fluid unspent.
• If you fail to kill the ring boss before the Pre-Patch and still have a vision, you will solely only receive credits for it - ask your friends or Pantheon members to give you tips if you fail on the Ring kill.

ORDER CHANGES

• The Order is getting revamped in the pre-patch to include the new Order system. Be aware that this will be your new method of getting Faith now.
• Send out adepts to collect certain resources over time. You cannot seem to speed up missions the same way you can now.
• All Order related resources are going away.
• Supplies - Converted to Credits at a rate of 1:1 credits each.
• Ammo - Converted to Credits at a rate of 1:1 credits each.
• Gifts - Converted to Credits at a rate of 1:1 credits each.

DIVINE FORM CHANGES

• Focuses of Faith have been removed from the game. The conversion rate is 40 Victor Medals for each 1 Focus of Faith for each unspent one.
• You gain faith through your order now.
• The cost of Divine Form in all scenarios have been completely overhauled. [Click Here] to read the notes related to this. Note that this post does not factor in any cost reductions or specialization boosts.
• Hyperion's module called "Preacher Storage Module" no longer will give 2 Focuses of Faith, instead it will give a 25% boost to Faith gained through your Order for 24 hours instead.
• God of Knowledge is removed from the game. It appears even if you just unlocked it, you will receive 30,000 Victor Medals!
• All progress spent on nodes in the Divine Atlas will be converted to the Divine Deeds building.
• God of Travels will cost a "Travel Book" instead that costs Victor Medals to unlock, since Secret Knowledge is being removed from the game.

NEW PROGRESSIONS / RANDOM STUFF

• Atlases are being removed from the game. All Sparks of Insight, all Class Sparks, and all Invasion Sparks are going away! Spark of Transformation is also going away at a conversion rate of 1 Spark of Transformation to 10 Credits each.
• Unspent invading army Eidoses are converted for 20 credits each. Do Flagship if it is available if you want to take advantage of this!
• Unspent and spent Spark of Insight convert to 10 Credits each. Try to cap if you can!
• Spark Replicators are going away! Be sure to spend them or wait until pre-patch, in pre-patch, they will convert 150 to 1 Stimulant (now used in missions, instead of just events). You can only get 200 Stimulants this way! (30,000 Replicators). All excess past 30,000 will convert into credits (probably 1:1)
• Enhancement Stones unspent convert to 300 credits each (you would think since back when caps existed it was 300 credits off the cap)
• The New Campaign is planned to come in the Pre-Patch as well. Start your adventure off right with a bang!
• Ever wondered what Celestial Threads did? Good because they are being removed and converted into credits (Those pesky caps before) now at a rate of 1:1!
• Unlocking classes now is done through the Campaign Map. To research new abilities for classes, use that class in combat and complete missions!
• Can't wait to beat up your enemy with their own body parts? You can do it in Ascension's Pre-Patch!

INVASION CHANGES

• Starting with the Oceanid Invasion on October 5th, all invasions going onward are now 2 months long.
• Invasions now give Argents for Top Positions in Operations.
• Invasions will be the only way to get the best equipment during a Season. All other ways give you equipment but not the absolute best during a Season. Equipment is capped during a Season.
• Make sure to get the Avatar Trophies before they go away! They are supposedly easier for all Prestiges now... 
• If you have certain requirements, you can get Avatar Trophies through Travatars instead... I do not have confirmation on this post, but it is a rumor posted on the Reddit.
