Next Island VU 17.3.0 Release Notes
A new pet known as “Asclarius” is available to players! It is obtainable via the Asclarius quest, which can be accessed at an NPC named Perik, inside the Ancient Greece Orpheus Cave. The instance gate stands next to him. Complete the quest to gain the core that allows access to the instance. Beware, the Asclarius pet is difficult to tame, but helpful at looting things! Enjoy!
Grab one of our new L Skyripper vehicles and fly around, checking out Next Island and Ancient Greece with an unobstructed view and delightful mobility.
Hunt our Gorgon wave and loot the amazing unlimited armor plates, Serpent’s Scale. Upgrade them at NPC Militiades, along with your Gorgon armor.
Graduate as a Next Island disciple and try out our new disciple reward, a full set of UL Seeker armor!
We will continue to strive to provide meaningful, fun, and engaging content for you, each VU. Thank you so much for supporting Next Island, and Happy Hoffing!

Cyrene September 1st 2020 VU Notes
We we're really working down to the wire with the stuff that we could get into this VU, but we feel like we're moving in the right direction (although not as much content as we wanted), any and all feedback about this VU is welcome, please chat about it in our Discord or post it up on our Forums.
We're already planning some adjustments for the Mini Patch.
New Additions
- New Missions
-- Byrd Terminal - Now Accepting All Donations | a simple mission to spawn a group of Byg Byrds for a new recipe turn in should now be available.
--- There are 3 new combine recipes, one of the is used for the Byrd Terminal, you can get the information from an NPC at Zorra's new base (between Rookie TP and A.R.C. Staging).
- Hunter's Cavern
-- Hunter's Cavern is a new experimental hunting area on Cyrene. There's a small entry fee to prove to the Zekkonian's that YOU aspire to be a master hunter.
-- There are currently 3 levels available:
--- Low level Paneleons
--- Mid level Tide Claws
--- High level Zeladoths
-- All levels have a cluster of various creatures with lower levels of agression and pre-set auto loot for all players.
-- Within the area you'll have various NPCs to chat with and limited terminals.
-- There are a few achievements to earn and some additional story for the Zekkonians, as well as a new way to hunt some of the popular mobs on Cyrene.
-- You can try out this hunting area by heading to Zorra's new base (between Rookie TP and A.R.C. Staging).
- Turrelia Wave Spawn
-- After several adjustments from the last VU, this wavespawn is ready for players.
-- Reduced HP / Damage from higher level waves and adjusted loot lists.
-- The purpose of this wave spawn is to allow players to collect Turrelion Essence, which can be used to upgrade the Turrelion Outerwear and Settler clothing sets to have non-combat buffs.
-- You can join a group just west of the Ice Plateau TP.
- Mentors and Disciples
-- Disciple Armor + P.I.G.V. | Any and all disciples that graduate on Cyrene should now be able to acquire this armor correctly, we're still working on the details with MindArk about replacing the armor for players who graduated during the last VU.
- Booths
-- Kris has plans for the current booths on Cyrene that he's waiting for final confirmation from MindArk about, but if there are any outstanding merchants that you'd like to make sure that he notices please post them up on the Forums or mention it in the Discord server.
Changes

That being said we plan to give Cyrene players ample time to know when the Codex will be implemented as well as the information that not all missions will be automatically added into the codex. There are several new mobs ready that will be added specifically for the Codex.
Known Issues

- The culmination for the chain mission for the Ryvox the Cypher is currently not implemented.

- All Cyrene vehicles (P.I.G.V., Spear, Lancer, Dragonfly) have default sounds, this will be addressed in a future patch.
- Some Quality Ratings information in blueprint book: A.R.C. is incorrect, and this issue is still being looked into.
- A supplementary mission for Rank 5 of Brown Beetles to give proper mission rewards is not working correctly and will be fixed in a future VU.
Toulan VU 20.3 | The Last of the Safians
(visit the original page for images)
Nara arrived on the planet expecting to see the sultanate restored to its former magnificence, instead what she witnessed was a desolate and foreboding place. The great structures built by her ancestors remained yet stood empty. As empty as she felt at that moment, knowing that it had all been for nought.
She was not expecting her secret fantasies to materialise and be welcomed by her namesake and greatest of all Safians. She had however, hoped to at least find what it was that she had long since lost. A family.
The realisation that Toulan was barren hit Nara hard, the last of her kin had protected her and secreted her away with a single purpose. It had taken her a long time to find their ancestral home as all records had been destroyed to protect the Insians from a great evil. An evil greater than the Narians, a dark force that couldn’t be ignored and caused the Safians to trade one moon for another, leaving behind the safety and power of Nawa Energy.
An evil that led to the demise of the Safian race as Nara was about to realise.
The last of the Safians was not ready. At the same age the daughters of Sinmar were leaders but Nara had led a more sheltered life. Folk tales and bedtime stories were no preparation for what lay ahead. In those parables the descendants of Sinmar were busy ensuring the future of the Insians and preparing their defence. The truth appeared to be quite different.
Nara wondered what had become of the Insians. She reached out through the void that connected all Safians and felt alone. Then a sense of familiarity coursed through her veins and hope returned. It was not quite Safian but something else. A new feeling, or rather a force that she was able to direct and channel. She was drawn to the Moon and felt the Nawa leave her body and travel toward what she somehow knew to be the Lotus Temple.
So it was that the machine, created by the Safians, came to life and the Insians were once more created.
Tailoring
With the arrival of Nara and the return of the Insian colonisers the rebuilding of the Toulan economy has begun. Using local resources master tailors have created a large range of garments waiting to be discovered.
After feedback from the community and some investigation we have made adjustments to the Karmoosh Aleef Lab Instances.
Karmoosh Aleef Lab Instance
The Karmoosh Aleef pet is a rare pet with an at present unique combination of passive effects:
