Thanks to the weekly Free Realms Web Cast and SOE Podcast, we can now confirm that the highly anticipated Sunstone Valley update will be arriving within the next two weeks. The Web Cast revealed some further details about the changes upcoming to Free Realms, and assured players that Sunstone Valley is going to keep everyone entertained for awhile yet to come. The hosts of the Web Cast estimated that the size of the area is similar to Briarwoods, a large area in the current landscape of Free Realms.

Other changes to come to Free Realms include changes to the dueling system (added instances) and more collections to collect while exploring. Players will be excited to hear that the Blacksmith, Miner, and Brawler jobs will all be going Free-to-play in the near future. The Blacksmith is one job that will be receiving a major update and changes, the plan is to allow players to craft wearable items and even find plans for some rare pets to craft!

Previously, SOE has confirmed that there will be no new added Jobs in Free Realms. As the focus has been on working to make the combat experience better for players. Players have had a chance to get a gimpse at the overworld combat with the Invasion of Shrouded Glades which released back in June. This theme of overworld combat will be continued throughout Sunstone Valley, and will also include new dungeon instances for players to explore. New items (including armor sets) will also be added to Sunstone valley for everyone to enjoy.

Overall, Sunstone Valley appears to be bringing some much needed changes and additions to Free Realms. The content is sure to excite players both new and old. As a reminder, players will want to finish collecting any Gloam Invasion pets, items, and quests, before Sunstone Valley arrives. It is unknown how long the Invasion Event will last once the new update arrives on Free Realms.
