Hey Swords, with the energy being invested into some awesome guides this last week, and so many ideas being shared in cabal chat - I made a few changes in the website layouts. Most noticable for anyone who is actively using the website is the introduction of last modified / published dates showing in the listings for guides and for our newsletter section.

If interested, you can check out the changes and our new guides:

If you have any additional suggestions for me, Swords - get in touch! If you want to contribute to the ongoing research, remember to head over to the Guides, Research and Lore section of our forums.  Thank you everyone that has put in so much effort this last week - has definitely proven we have another skill up our sleeves!!

A balance pass for tanks and healers, along with scaling of group and instanced solo content up to Elite 17 has been announced. This balance pass redefines how tanks and healers work in SWL, and as such Funcom are holding several open beta test phases to get our feedback and identify any bugs that have slipped through closed testing. The first announced open beta is this weekend July 3rd, 2020 at 4 PM EST (8 PM GMT), and will end July 6th at 9 AM EST (1 PM GMT).You can read more about it here: https://forums.funcom.com/t/a-balancing-act-open-beta-on-the-weekend-of-july-4th/128254

It's been three years since the relaunch of Secret World into SWL. So we have a weird anniversary for the cabal that's much older than that, but at the same time our development here is still relatively young. However, I have to admit that I'm still mightily impressed by the numbers we get here and now, as well as most days of the week. Since our last anniversary, we've also developed quite well on skill, gear and capabilities. NYR E10 was conquered in October 2019, so now we can officially claim that (at least on good days) we are officially end game!

So between our numbers being as healthy as they are and our ability to run wherever we want, I really want to emphasize that it's something we all achieved together. Since there always is a coming and going in the cabal though, what's also important is all the new blood that we're grabbing off the Looking For Cabal pages.

The one way that we can keep doing it all and doing it with lots of company, is to keep going strong both on levelling gear and making sure people learn the content from story mode all the way up. And some groups really excelled at that, I believe we had a few players that went from E1 to E9 within a month or two. Not sure exactly, but you know what you did. And I congratulate you and everybody else that's working hard. Obviously, working hard on having fun.

Now we're in the beginning of our 9th year of Nine Swords. Honestly, this HAS to be our best year, or at least the year that's better than the ones before. So for the next anniversary, I really want you all to help grow the community, your skills and gear. All us leaders are counting on you for that.

Happy 8th anniversary, Nine Swords!

Today sees the launch of the SWL 3rd Anniversary events. 

Log in to receive a free special gift every day during the event, including a new motorcycle mount and a Glyph Exchanger!  What’s a Glyph Exchanger?  A new consumable that lets you swap a glyph into another type, retaining its level and experience! What joy for all those Stalwart and Elusive glyphs sitting in our banks!! 

The Talos of Gaia is back. This is an hourly portal opening at the portal by the mall area of Agartha. There are 11 different Talos of Gaia Golems that spawn on a rotation each hour.  Due to the rotation of the cycle.. you will eventually see all 11 golems, even if you only have time to play for 1 boss fight per day. The loot from these is usually cosmetic items and distillates. So, you will often see people log in for this then disappear until the next hour! 

Defeating the Talos will allow you to open the Buzzing Hive, an extra item you get every day alongside event login rewards!  Plus, the Talos have a chance at dropping items to fill out your Museum of the Occult (Shards usually for your Golem upgrades)! Also dropping from the Talos are Shards of Corruption which you can get together with other people and use 11 of them to get to the Gatekeeper instance. 

On top of that, Anniversary Cache is back, Agartha is all dressed up for the occasion with party favours and destructible piñatas you can smack for free loot! Also make sure to get your hands on the Seasonal Legends if you don't have them already!
