Answer 2

Source tibia.com:

The Gem Atelier enhances the Wheel of Destiny and offers expansive ways to amplify your character's power. Archfoe bosses, influenced and fiendish creatures can now drop gems for each vocation. You can either trade them or reveal gems for your vocation in the Gem Atelier to discover their inherent powers, thus binding them to your character. Depending on their size, gems can have up to three Mods, granting various benefits such as stat and resistance boosts or even potent augments for specific spells. Place a gem into one of the vessels in your wheel to enjoy their bonuses and upgrade the vessels so they can hold greater gems with supreme Mods.

Our Exaltation Forge Enhancements include new options for items of classification 4: Convergence Fusion enables you to fuse different objects of the same body slot with guaranteed success. Convergence Transfer allows you to transfer a tier without tier loss. Both new options are available for a substantially increased gold cost, reflecting the benefits they offer.
Moreover, you can now also upgrade leg pieces at the Exaltation Forge, unlocking a chance to trigger the powerful Transcendence effect. When equipped with tiered legs, your character has a chance to transform into Avatar Stage 3 for seven seconds, turning your hits into formidable critical strikes and reducing the damage you take.

The Managed Container Extension allows you to select specific containers for items that you unequip, obtain from NPCs or retrieve. Ferumbras, Orshabaal, Morgaroth, and Ghazbaran have been fortified with a higher initial resilience extending their stand in battle and thus, granting warriors a fair chance to enter the fray. Last but not least, Hireling cooks are now willing to whip up your dish of choice from the menu for a higher cost.

(...) we selected and implemented 10 distinguished new titles for Tibia, now ready for you to claim to illuminate the essence of your character. (...): Aeternal - Beastly - Bringer of Rain - Chompmeister - Doomsday Nemesis - King/Queen of Demon - Midnight Hunter - Ratinator - Robinson Crusoe - Truly Boss

In addition new addon and mount.
Second addon to Ancient Aucar outfit.
3 new bosses.
8 new monsters.
And plenty of new items.
