Update 1/6 - 2023

[Pro Noob]

Jad
Jad is finally here! After a long time in rest, he have shown promise in the land of lava!

To get to jad first you will have to unlock Shilo from the customs officer. Then you will need to get yourself to where Tzhaar-Mej-Tal is located near the sand.
He will need 3 ship ticket + additional 27 ship tickets, however if you do not have the remaining 27 ship tickets you can pay with coins instead.
If you still believe this to be quite expensive, you can enter once for a ship ticket or 300k coins!
To enter you just look at the sand.
While in here any obsidian pieces you have equipped got their item bonuses doubled. See the items below on which one has this effect.

Spoiler for Obsidian Items:

• Obsidian armor
• Toktz-ket-xil
• Obsidian cape
• Fire cape
• Berserker necklace
• Amulet of fury
• Tzhaar-ket-om
• Tzhaar-ket-em
• Toktz-mej-tal
• Toktz-xil-ak
• Toktz-xil-ek

Spoiler for Stats + mechanic:

Jad attack every 3 seconds instead of the standard 2.4 second.
Jad has a mechanic it has a 1:6 chance to occur.
When it occur, jad attack with one of the two styles. Either range attack or magic attack. After the animation you got 2 tick (1.2 second)
to protect against the attack. If you do this succesfully, you take 0 damage otherwise you take a 0 - maxhit.
Whenever you kill jad, others that contribute to the fight with atleast 5% have a chance to get loot aswell. However they do not get any killcount by doing so.
The chance is 10% from the first 5% contributed then it adds whatever else you contributed. If let us say you contributed 10%, you have a 15% chance to get the extra loot.
This only works for up to 4 players as the one that get the kill always get loot!

Spoiler for Drops:

Obsidian armour - Have decent stats but lower than dragon.

Blessings - These are in a different slot called "blessing" (under your shield) and give different stats depending on item when equip.
Do note that blessing are not working while in a duel!
Fire cape - Best in slot cape currently in the game.
