Today Digital Extremes released the latest Soulframe Close Alpha update, Preludes 14: The Duelo. The update brings with it the game’s latest fable, The Wreck of Mestra Carmo, in which players search for a haunted shipwreck and battle a “long-lost expert swordsman” in a new Ancestor quest. Players can also forge a new pact and gain powers only available to pirates. There is also a new armor set to pick up.

The new Rapier weapon comes in two forms: The Navalha and the Expadarte. Hideouts can be found in the Mirifuir Castle Siege Encounter and the Fallen Ode Skytower, where players must fight the new Agari sub-boss, the Rovgot Wyrm. Speaking of weapons, players can also obtain the new Corrupted One-Handed Sword Cenotaph, the Lyke-Wake Sword and Shield Set, and the Ode’n Staff Silistavf.

Today’s update also introduces some quality of life features to the free-to-play MMORPG. These include new votive side quests in the World Tree job boards, overhauls to the game’s interface and codex menu, and a new progression system. For detailed information about the update, see the patch notes on the Soulframe Forums.
