A week after launching Skystone, we have our first content update for the game, including a brand-new batch of quests that take place in the Ridgeback Highlands. If you’ve already completed the third world area, you can check with Otto von Tesla, Bandero Grit, and Skylark Rook Vesper to start each new chain of quests. We also have a few holiday-themed items available for a limited time, so be sure to check with Wystan and Lana on the Merchant Deck of Nidaria to get these while they’re in stock!
Rounding out the update are a handful of bug-fixes, some updates for the Nidarian Guard, and some changes in how quest progress is tracked. You can now view the current objective for each of your active quests right on the Quests menu instead of needing to drill down into each, and for quests that require a number of items or enemy kills, we now have your current tally pop up on screen as you go.
Remnants of Skystone is available for everyone to play now, so come join us in Nidaria at www.kongregate.com/skystone — hope to see you there!

We’re doing a second stress test, where we try to get a lot of players on at once to see how well the game and servers hold up. This time, we’ll be checking if our fixes from the previous stress test are helping out, and also focusing on co-op gameplay to make sure it can handle lots of co-op matches at once. We’ll have a special repeatable quest running during this test as well, rewarding players with Brass and an exclusive poster for your Float!
The stress test with be this Thursday, March 18th at 1-4PM PDT/Nidarian Time (that’s GMT-7). If you already have access to the game, stop by during that time-frame to help us test as we get ready for launch!
Update: The special quest won’t be repeatable, but you will still be able to pick it up any time between 1-4PM Nidarian on Thursday!

We’re doing a stress test on the game and servers Thursday March 11th, from 1PM - 4PM Nidarian / Pacific Time. We’d like to get as many of our current testers as possible online during that time, to make sure everything is running smoothly as we get ready for launch. If you currently have access to Remnants of Skystone and would like to help out, please drop by between 1PM and 4PM (Nidarian/Pacific Time) on Thursday!
As an added bonus for anyone coming for the stress test, we’ll have a special quest running during that time where you can earn Brass currency and an exclusive Stress Test poster for your Float, and you’ll be able to repeat the quest for more Brass rewards during that time! Hope you see you there!
