Machine translation — the official text prevails.
Version 1.21 will be available on 12/18/07. This new version can be downloaded starting 12/18/07 at 9:30am GMT+1. Here is a list of the new features and new content.
Opening of Nowel Island:
Access to Nowel Island is available again from the port of Madestram by talking to Hector Nowel. The island's monsters have been revised, and the island now has two dungeons.
Living items:
New subscription gifts will be available when version 1.21 launches. The old subscription pets will still be available. Living items graft onto existing items, they let you change the appearance of capes, headgear, rings and amulets. They can evolve if properly fed, and thus transform to take on other appearances. Warning, they are sometimes very talkative ;) These items do not grant any power bonus.
New areas and new dungeons:
The Blop dungeon lets you discover new species of Blops, it is intended for characters level 50 to 100.
The Fungus dungeon is located in a new area: the Fungus Cave. There you can meet the fearsome Ougah. This dungeon and this area are intended for characters level 100 to 200.
The Bworker dungeon has been revised, experience rewards, the Bworker's level, and the rewards obtained in the dungeon are increased.
The lair of the Giant Kralamour is finally accessible, where you can face one of the most powerful monsters in DOFUS history, but only the best-organized adventurers can hope to access it.
About fifty new items can be crafted by artisans.
Territory conquest system:
It is no longer possible for a player to use several different accounts to defend or attack the same territory conquest prism.
General changes made to the DOFUS client:
If a player remains inactive for too long in combat after skipping a game turn without playing, their next game turns will automatically pass as long as they remain inactive.
The color of group messages is changed (it is no longer identical to that of private messages).
The last search made at the auction house is remembered when you make several searches in a row.
The icon (in the shape of an eye) signaling the presence of fights on a map is now correctly displayed when selecting the spells tab then the items tab in the interface.
Added new filters to sort your mounts: "mount to train" (mature mount whose level is below 5), "non-tired mount", "tired mount", "special mount" (mount having one or more abilities).
On the mount breeding interface, the last selected tab is remembered when you switch mounts.

It is no longer possible to use an item of the wrong type in the rune-crafting interface, in order to avoid handling errors.
