- The boss now spawns a wave of support mobs four times per fight, once for every 20% reduction in his health
- The number of spawned mobs is now more precisely based on the number of attackers, and maxes out at 6 spawned mobs when attacked by 15 or more players (where "attacking" means being on the boss's aggro list):
- 1-4 attackers: 1 mob
- 5-7 attackers: 2 mobs
- 8-9 attackers: 3 mobs
- 10-12 attackers: 4 mobs
- 13-14 attackers: 5 mobs

|
| Version 18.040.1 | 6 May 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 4 (Balance Patch) |

- Cooldown of Multishot: 9s → 8s
- Champion of Thetford:
- Cooldown of Meteor: 7s → 9s
- In order to give Faction Ranks a more meaningful progression and increase the rewards for loyalty to a Faction, bonuses now begin increasing earlier, and increase more steadily throughout all ranks. This will provide an increase to most players, with only ranks 18-21 receiving a slight reduction:
- Rank 1: 0% (unchanged)
- Rank 2: 0% (unchanged)

| Version 18.020.1 | 31 March 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 2 and Hotfix 2.1 |

|
| Version 18.020.1 | 31 March 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 2 and Hotfix 2.1 |

| Version 18.020.1 | 31 March 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 2 and Hotfix 2.1 |
- Significantly improved the feedback when receiving Faction Points for both the combat log and overhead messages
|
| Version 18.010.1 | 25 March 2021 | Call to Arms Patch 1 |
- Reduced the amount of points awarded by killing or knocking out players in Faction Warfare to support points being sourced from other places. We will also be reducing the amount of points coming from PvE activities, but that will come in a later patch.
- As Faction Warfare is primarily a resource-based system with limited quantities of points for players to fight over, the unexpectedly large number of players participating led to marginal gains for individual players. As such, we've significantly increased the points available in the system to better support the number of players participating, and will continue to keep an eye on point balancing in the coming weeks.
- Reduced point requirements for Faction Warfare daily bonuses by 75% (effective immediately).
- Reduced point requirements for Faction Warfare Campaign milestones by 50% (effective at the start of the next Faction Campaign on April 1).
- Made changes to the rates at which bonus points are gained and lost, which should significantly increase the amount of bonus points received in the Weekly Report in some cases.

| Version 18.000.1 | 17 March 2021 | Call to Arms Update | Caerleon is now a playable sixth city in Faction Warfare. To match its identity as a hub of bandits and thieves, Caerleon Faction gameplay differs in several important ways:
- In addition to engaging other Faction players, Caerleon-flagged players can also engage and be engaged by other Caerleon players
- Caerleon offers 21 entirely unique Faction Ranks, and shares no ranks with the other cities
- Caerleon players receive no defensive bonus for holding land
- Caerleon players do not compete directly in the Bandit Assault (see next section), but can use the event as an opportunity to fight other Factions and retake Outposts for points
- Caerleon has its own Faction Mounts, the Caerleon Greywolf and Caerleon Elite Greywolf (see Mounts section below)
- Trade missions to and from Caerleon added
- Rewards for trade missions that do not require going into fully lethal zones have been reduced accordingly
- Trade mission boxes for all Factions will now always drop in PvP even if the defeated player was only knocked out
- Caerleon has its own City Heart, Shadowheart, which can be used to craft a new Caerleon cape and the two Caerleon mounts, or converted into any other Faction’s Hearts at that Faction’s store
- Caerleon Cape Ability:
- Instantly resets your Q-slot ability approximately every 30s (actual cooldown scales with IP)

Hideouts can now only be set as "Home" when owned by your current guild, OR when they are Level 3 Hideouts owned by a currently allied guild. This includes houses and guild halls inside Hideouts.
|
| Version 1.17.404.Unknown | 3 September 2020 | Rise of Avalon Patch 3 |
- To adjust for cases where looting was delayed due to combat, opened chests in the Roads of Avalon now last much longer before disappearing
|
| Version 1.17.403.172369 | 12 August 2020 | Rise of Avalon Update and Hotfix 1, 2 | The area outside the actual Road structure is called the Wilderness of Avalon, and includes forest paths, resource sites, Avalonian camps, and Randomized Dungeon Entrances. |
| Version 1.17.403.172369 | 12 August 2020 | Rise of Avalon Update and Hotfix 1, 2 | Guilds can now place Hideouts in Avalon at any site with a blue power crystal. Guilds who live in the Roads can avoid much of the politics and territory warfare of the Outlands, but can also be attacked by any other guild who meets attack conditions during the zone's prime time. |
| Version 1.17.403.172369 | 12 August 2020 | Rise of Avalon Update and Hotfix 1, 2 | The Roads of Avalon are a network of paths through the ancient kingdom of Avalon, opening up new opportunities for travel and transport, exploration, and placing Hideouts. |
| Version 1.17.403.172369 | 12 August 2020 | Rise of Avalon Update and Hotfix 1, 2 | The Roads of Avalon are accessed via gateways to Avalon that appear and disappear throughout the world. They have varying lifetimes before disappearing, and allow only a limited number of players to pass through. The Roads lead to numerous other gateways, which open into either the Outlands, the Royal Continent, or other Roads zones. |
| Version 1.16.393.162877 | 25 March 2020 | Queen Patch 8 | With Queen Patch 8, players who are flagged hostile and players who are flagged for Faction Warfare can no longer attack each other in yellow zones. This is to prevent cases where a hostile player knocks down a faction-flagged player who is then executed by other faction-flagged players. Details:
- More specifically, hostile and faction-flagged players in yellow zones are neutral to each other. This means they cannot cast any spells on each other, whether harmful or beneficial.
- Faction-flagged players can still kill and be killed by other faction-flagged players in all zones, including blue and yellow.
- Hostile players in yellow zones can still attack (and be attacked by) other non-faction-flagged players, whether they are flagged or not. Knockdown rules remain in effect for all combat in yellow zones.
- Exception: Hostile and faction-flagged players can attack each other with knockdown rules in unrestricted PvP areas in yellow zones (such as the circled areas around treasure chests). These areas effectively remove the "neutral" status from all players, allowing combat between all players. As with all areas in the game, faction-flagged players can execute players flagged to other factions in these zones.

| Version 1.16.393.160378 | 19 February 2020 | Queen Patch 4 |

|
| Version 1.16.392.158262 | 20 January 2020 | Queen Update | The Avalonians are a new elite faction found in Elite Randomized Dungeons, which spawn in all T6-8 Outlands zones and offer a high-level challenge to groups of 10-20 players. Along with the highest-value loot in the game, these dungeons contain a shrine that offers a week-long Fame increase for killing mobs.
In addition to the Avalonian Basilisk mount, tools, and foods already introduced with the Standalone Season, players can now obtain artifacts and shards from defeated Avalonian mobs which can be crafted into three different sets (cloth/leather/plate) of Avalonian Artifact Armor with a wide range of new abilities. (Currently all levels of this armor have the same appearance when worn, tiers will be differentiated in an upcoming patch.) |
