Company of Thieves Update 🗡️
Harbingers, A new update is now available for The Bloodline! The Company of Thieves has officially opened its doors: join the guild, take on 15 new quests, and pay a visit to the newly revamped Brittlebean Hold. New vendors, new faces, a fresh armor set, a new tavern, and more 🗡
Harbingers,
A new update is now available for The Bloodline! The Company of Thieves has officially opened its doors: join the guild, take on 15 new quests, and pay a visit to the newly revamped Brittlebean Hold. New vendors, new faces, a fresh armor set, a new tavern, and more 🗡️
This update also brings major changes to the bounty and crime system, new dungeons, and a long list of fixes and additions across the world.
Stay sharp 👀
Brittlebean Hold Changes
Brittlebean Hold has been transitioned into a hub for the Company of Thieves. As many of you know, this area was initially planned to be a large, repeatable dungeon. Like the Necropolis, this area has shifted away from that, primarily due to the dungeons not really playing into both my and the game’s strengths. With this change, the castle segment of the map will, unfortunately, become inaccessible. I love the design of the Brittlebean Castle, but it’s simply too large and would end up adding meaningless empty space to the area. It will simply serve as a pretty backdrop to the area for now.

Going forward, the cropland segment will be the accessible area for Brittlebean Hold and serve as a guild hub for the Company of Thieves. It will have special vendors, guildmates, and various Company of Thieves functionalities.
Removed all hostages from Brittlebean Hold
Removed “randomized” objectives from initializing when entering the area
Removed NPC that would approach the player when they enter the area for the first time
Removed enemy spawns
Removed harvestable spawns
Removed bandit chests (feel free to scrap any bandit keys you may have gotten)
Removed lootable weapon crates (no more making bank off these crates)
Blocked off access to any area beyond the farmland
Added the ability to join the Company of Thieves
Added 15 new quests
Added many new NPCs
Added Company of Thieves quartermaster
Added a tavern to Brittlebean
Added interiors to all accessible buildings in Brittlebean
When you join the Company of Thieves, you can speak to Father Cillian to clear your bounties in Elderheim, Askil or Lonland. The higher your rank, the less you’ll have to pay him to clear your bounty.
Added a new Company of Thieves armor set (Hood with mask, torso, arms and leg pieces. Can be purchased from Eamon Flannery after joining the Company of Thieves)
Monlodir Additions/Changes
Removed dwarven recon drones for the time being
Added many more decorations to Monlodir
Added tons of loot containers to Monlodir
Added vista point with lore about Monlodir
Added blocking volumes to the wall surrounding Monlodir as well as blocking volumes for areas that aren’t mean to be accessible
Added leave location volumes to Monlodir
Added/refined enemy spawners
Added interiors and 2 dungeons (one requires a quest to enter) to Monlodir
Added more foliage to Monlodir
Bounty/Crime System Changes
Crimes that add 500g or more to your bounty are now added to the entire kingdom you are currently in, rather than a specific city. For example, if you murder a civilian in Elderglen, that bounty will be added to ALL cities in Elderheim rather than just being added to your Elderglen bounty.
Further improved NPC player detection, making hiding and stealing easier and more reliable to perform as you expect
The player can now be sent to jail. When sent to jail, the player must serve their sentence, which results in 50% of their primary level EXP being taken.
Guards now have noses (lol)
All capital cities now have jails
The player can now be arrested in Elderheim cities and sent to a jail in Elderglen
The player can now be arrested in Askillian cities and sent to jail in Karraq
The player can now be arrested in Lonland cities sent to jail in Helgasker
The player SHOULD NOT be able to use the “Return to overworld” button when jailed. After serving their sentence, the button’s function should return
Stealable items should add bounty to the proper city now.
Added guards to Karraq
Added guards to Helgasker
Civilians should now properly track what city your bounty will be added when you do something illegal to them. So, if you kill a civilian in Helgasker, your bounty will be added to the proper locations.
You can now see your bounties for all cities and kingdoms in the detailed stat sheet
Other Additions/Changes
Added interior to the Elderglen Castle
Blocked off unused segments of the Sultan’s Palace at Karraq
Added a chapel segment to the Sultan’s Palace
Added a treasure vault to the Sultan’s Palace
Added a new pair of daggers – Key Daggers
Added a secret location to Helgakser
Improved general civilian detection of player
Greatly improved the reliability of the Hidden/Undetected UI that appears on the screen when crouched
Adjusted the level equation for sneaking. Expect to see a large level increase when loading into a new game if you already have increased your sneaking level a few times.
The player’s SNEAKING skill can save them from being caught if spotted while pickpocketing. Their level determines the % chance of getting away with pickpocketing while being detected. This % chance is capped at 85%.
Added many new items to civilian pockets (potions, food, crafting materials)
Added new weapon: Key Daggers (This item is received through a Company of Thieves quest)
Added cellar to Thronhild tavern
Added quartermaster supply room to Mage’s College
Added new dungeon to the Khenmoore Flatlands
Lockpicks now have a value of 15 gold
Added guards to Al'Thumralah
Added guards to Turacca
Bug Fixes/Adjustments:
Fixed issue at Focus Crafting Stations that would show “Wands” as “One Handed Swords”
Fixed issue that would show wands as a crafting option during weapon assembly at an anvil
Ragdolling should no longer show as 0/0 exp in the detailed stat sheet
Aeromancy should no longer show as 0/0 exp in the detailed stat sheet
The “Cooking” skill no longer shows twice in the detailed stat sheet
Fixed issue that would cause lockpicking UI to appear twice if you quickly interacted with a locked door multiple times
Fixed issue that would cause the HUD to fade out if you immediately canceled lockpicking right after starting the lockpicking minigame
The Aeromancy skill “Windweave” now grants Aeromancy EXP and is buffed with Aeromancy passives
The Electromancy skill “Static Pulse” no longer triggers the animation when the player attempts to cast it with insufficient mana
The cost of the Aeromancy passive “Air Attunement” now increases by 1 per rank instead of 2
The cost of the Electromancy passive “Tempest Ascendancy” now increases by 4 per rank instead of 5
Weapons and other attached items are now hidden when the player uses Boar Rush
Fixed issue that would sometimes cause the player’s body to not hide properly after using Boar Rush
The weaponsmithing level up sound should now obey the volume sliders
Fixed issue with radial menu not closing if it was open when a guard approached you for a bounty

Hey everyone!
This hotfix addresses a number of issues introduced with the recent Elemental Rebirth update.
Cryomancy passives from level 10 to 100 are now visible and accessible to the player
Fixed typos in cryomancy passives that said specified Pyromancy instead of cryomancy
Geomancy passives from level 10 to 100 are now visible and accessible to the player
Fixed issue with clock-time speeding up when inside the Mage’s College
Fixed issue that could sometimes stunt your mana regen after doing the Chamber trail at the Mage’s College
The Geomancy skill, Crushing Slabs, now deals damage properly
Thunderstep now consumes mana properly
Player should no longer take unnecessary fall damage when in rolling boulder form (I wasn’t able to replicate this reliably, but I did add some safety nets to prevent fall damage when in this form)
Reduced Rolling Boulder Form cooldown from 30s to 10s (it’s more fun this way and 30s was way too high anyways lol)
Dev Note:
Sorry for the delay with this hotfix! I took a short family vacation, but I’m now back to work on Bloodline. Stay tuned for the next update, which will focus on the crime system and the Company of Thieves! (:

Harbingers,
A new update is now available to improve your journey in Eudros! New elemental skills, spacing from Electromancy to Necromancy have been added, together with major adjustments to item drops and balancing 🧙

Be ready to show off your new powers! 💫
Bug Fixes/Optimizations
Fixed issue with electrocution not arcing damage to nearby enemies
Picking up bags of gold from a fully grown Coinburst Bulb no longer gives a bag of gold and just grants 100 gold directly to your gold count
Minor Self Heal no longer triggers the animation if you don’t have enough mana.
The pyromancy skill “Engulf” now consumes mana properly
Leveling up pyromancy, geomancy, cryomancy now only grants 1 proficiency point for their respective skills (as intended)
Revisited many, many skills that would trigger their animation even if the player didn’t have enough mana to cast the skill
Reduced memory load throughout the game
Further optimized textures
Optimized various skill VFX
Fixed typo with “Thunderbelch” enchantment (was “Thunderblech” on accident), which in turn fixed the enchantment itself. Note that existing runes with the typo won’t work.
Fixed issue with 4th potion ingredient effects not showing in the potion summary in the potioncrafting window
Parkour challenges now properly grant base level EXP
Optimized Mage’s College areas
Fixed issue with assignment board job titles not being visible when re-opening a job board
The “Cast Neco spell” assignment now works properly
Removed oddly-angled board papers from the constructable stables
Fixed issue with engineer vendors (both in Elderglen and the buildable one) not ending dialogue completely when opening their shops, causing lockups
Additions
Reworked EXP granting for all magic schools; 100% of the mana cost for spells are converted into skill EXP. In addition, the cooldown for spells act as a multiplier for the EXP gains. (about 5% more per cooldown second). So, if you cast a 35-mana spell with a 5 second cooldown, you’ll get about 44 EXP for that spell! That’s before the bonus multiplier from your intelligence stat. This should result in a pretty smooth rework to the level requirements for Pyro, Cryo, Geo, Electro, Necro and Aero skills. Some of the other magic trees will feel like a BREEZE until they get revisited like the magic schools in this update.
Added tiered passives. These passives can be increased up to 5 times.
Removed damage value in tooltip for “Minor Self Healing”
Fixed issue with the "Nose" category not being selectable in the character creation window when using a gamepad
Fixed issue with the Aeromancy skill “Tornado” triggering strangely when it exhausts your mana, which could cause lockups
New Electromancy Skills:
Static Pulse: Release a burst of electricity around yourself, damaging nearby enemies. Small chance to electrify damaged enemies.
Volt Shot: A low-damage bolt that has a high chance to stagger enemies.
Lightning Mine: Summon a charged lightning rune on any surface. When an enemy steps near it, the mine detonates, electrocuting all nearby enemies.
Surge Leap: Your next jump creates an AoE electric explosion and launches you into the air.
Storm Ward: Surround yourself with a protective shell of crackling electricity. Enemies that strike you in melee are shocked and briefly staggered. Lasts for 10 hits.
Chainburst: Slash a blade of plasma in front of you. Deals x4 damage to electrified enemies and removes their electrified debuff.
Spark Swarm: Summon a dozen small electrical remnants that seek out enemies in a large radius.
Stormbreaker Kick: Charge your foot with lightning and unleash a powerful kick that launches weaker enemies through the air. A bolt of lightning strikes the target shortly after impact.
Ball Lightning: Summon a drifting orb of unstable lightning that periodically shocks nearby enemies.
Arc Tether: Cast a lightning-imbued grapple that pulls you toward the impact point. If there is no impact point, it creates one. If it strikes an enemy, the grapple pulls them toward you.
Overcharged: Mark an enemy. Upon death, a powerful bolt of lightning erupts from them. Only one target can be marked at a time.
Charged Weapon: Charge your weapon with electricity for 20 seconds. Attacks deal additional electro damage and have a chance to electrify enemies. Only works with melee weapons.
Thunder Punch: Channel lightning into your fist and slam forward, releasing a burst of electicity that shocks and knocks back enemies in front of you.
Charged Fists: Empower your fists with lightning energy. Your unarmed attacks shock enemies and deal an additional 25% of your unarmed damage as Electro damage.
Storm Incarnate: Summon a lightning storm that lasts 1 minute. During this storm, lightning strikes around you at random intervals, and your mana regenerates much faster.
Other Elecromancy Changes:
Added new electromancy level up jingle
Added x10 new passives (5 for damage increases and 5 for electro spell mana cost)
Dev Note:
Originally, the passive trees were planned to include a range of buffs and triggered effects. In practice, this ended up feeling a bit bloated, and many of the bonuses were so minor that they weren’t very noticeable during gameplay.
On top of that, armor enchantments already provide many of these kinds of effects, which caused the two systems to overlap and compete with each other.
Because of this, the role of the proficiency trees has shifted to focus more on improving the efficiency and power of each skill tree directly.
In the end, it felt far more valuable to spend development time creating new, fun skills rather than adding passives that don’t meaningfully impact the experience.
That said, the new passive system is much more flexible under the hood. If certain passives are highly desired by the community, they can still be added later.
For now, this approach feels like the most efficient way forward and better aligns with my current goal: making progression feel more rewarding and for the skill trees to feel finished.
New Pyromancy Skills:
Ember Flick: Throw a ball of fire. Deals 25 damage and has short range.
Firebonk: Throw an enchanted flaming hammer that detonates after a short period
Flaming Weapon: Wreathe your weapon in flames for 20 seconds. Attacks deal additional pyro damage and have a chance to ignite enemies. Only works with melee weapons.
Scorchline: Channel a molten beam for 2 seconds, scorching the ground in its wake. After a short delay, the traced path erupts in a chain of fiery explosions.
Inferno Lance: Throw a lance of pure molten magic. Upon impact, it detonates and spreads fire.
Ashen Feast: Extinguish all burning enemies nearby, consuming their flames to restore your health for each enemy affected.
Molten Armor: Enchant your body with manafire. Receiving damage will burn nearby enemies.
Blazing Uppercut: Strike upward with explosive fire, launching enemies into the air.
Flashfire: Instantly ignite the ground at the targeted location.
Pyre Link: Strike with a flaming punch that deals bonus damage to burning enemies. Hitting a burning target spreads their flames to nearby enemies while extinguishing the original target.
Combustion Jump: Your next jump detonates the ground under your feet, launching you into the air and dealing 100 damage to all nearby enemies. Beware - the explosion also deals 25 damage to you as well. Will not kill you.
Comet Rain: Summon several small meteorites to crash into the ground around the targeted area. Warning: needs to be used with lots of room above the target area.
Cinder Cyclone: Summon a roaming tornado of flame that wanders the battlefield. Enemies drawn into the vortex are ignited and violently thrown into the air. Also pulls in physics objects.
Infernal Barrage: Extend your palm and unleash a barrage of 20 small firebolts.
Meteor Form: Take the form of a meteor and propel yourself in the direction you are looking. Explodes on impact.
Other Pyromancy changes:
ALL pyromancy skills have been reworked to work with the new passives.
Pyromancy EXP levels have been greatly adjusted to work for level 1-100 in the pyromancy skill.
Added x10 new passives (5 for damage increases and 5 for pyro spell mana cost)
Added new pyromancy level up jingle
New Cryomancy Skills:
Frozen Weapon: Enchant your weapon with manafrost for 20 seconds. Attacks deal additional cryo damage and have a chance to freeze enemies. Only works with melee weapons.

Fracture: Swing your fist forward, dealing Cryo damage. Striking a frozen enemy deals 5× damage, shattering the ice. The shattered frost spreads outward, freezing nearby enemies.
Spire Field: Summon dozens of ice spikes to burst from the ground around you.
Ice Armor: Enchant yourself with ice magic. Any enemies that strike you will take cryo damage and also have a chance to be frozen. Also increases armor by 20 points.
Shatterstorm: Shatter all frozen enemies around you, dealing great damage to them. Enemies that aren't frozen take minimal damage.
Ice Slide: Slide rapidly, leaving a trail of ice behind you.
Avalanche: Summon dozens of snowballs to rain down on the target area. It doesn't deal much damage, but it is pretty funny.
Winter’s Wrath: Summon a blizzard for 30 seconds. During this blizzard, your mana regenerates much faster.
Glacial Wall: Summon a wall of ice at the target location that lasts for 5 seconds. Can launch yourself and enemies.
Flashfreeze: Instantly freeze the target and the area around them for 3 seconds.
Glacial Crush: Summon a large slab of ice that quickly topples forward and crushes enemies.
Spire Barrage: Summon 10 ice spikes to barrage the target. Requires space above the target area to be used effectively.
Cryo Sentinel: Summon a floating cryo construct that automatically launches small ice spears at nearby enemies.

Earth Fang: Turn your arm into a sharp stone and jab forward, dealing great damage to the target.
Quakefall: Empower your next 5 landings with seismic force, creating quakes that damage and stagger nearby enemies.
Dustveil: Erupt dust under your feet, turning you effectively invisible for 5 seconds.
Tapquake: A 5-charge stomp abilty. Each successive stomp creates a more powerful quake that damages and flings enemies. Must be cast in quick succession to increase the power.
Snapshard: Quickly cast a small, sharp stone projectile. Deals low damage, but can be cast in quick succession.
Other Geomancy Changes:
Added new level up jingle for Geomancy
New Aeromancy Skills:
Vortex Pulse: Launch a wind-charged orb that bursts on impact, dragging enemies toward its center and inflicting minor damage.
Tempest Step: Launch forward, creating a gale of wind in your wake. Weak enemies are thrown through the air; stronger enemies are damaged.
Wind Wall: Create a long, narrow wall of wind. Pushes enemies upward and has a chance to deflect arrows.
Airblade: Create a blade of wind that rips through the air. Deals 25 damage.
Windweave: While active, each dodge carries you further in the direction of your dodge.
Gale Leap: Your next jump will launch you high into the air with a gust of wind! Careful - doesn't prevent fall damage!
Airwalk: Prevents you from falling for 5 seconds.
Cyclone Kick: A four-kick aerial combo that keeps you suspended in the air while striking. The final kick releases a burst of compressed wind, dealing increased damage and launching enemies away.
Pressure Wave: Unleash a burst of air around yourself, pushing all enemies around you away. Deals low damage, but gives you breathing room.
Wind Choke: Trap an enemy’s head within a sphere of sealed air, preventing them from breathing and dealing damage over time.
Gale Palm: Create a concentrated blast of air in front of you. Pushes enemies with great force. Enemies 10 levels lower than you are instantly ragdolled and thrown.
Downburst: Propel airborne enemies downward with great force. Deals minor damage as well.
Upburst: Launch a single target into the air
Air Pocket: Summon a suspended air bubble that launches you, enemies, and physics objects into the air. Lasts for 10 seconds.
Sonic Lance: Create a spear of condensed air and stab it forward, dealing great damage to the target enemy. Can send enemies flying as well.
Grace of the Wind: Enchant your feet with wind, giving you a small upward boost. Reduces fall damage and extends your jumps.
Other Aeromancy changes:
Added x10 new passives (5 for damage increases and 5 for aero spell mana cost)
Necromancy changes:
Necro spells are now spread between levels 1-70 (before it was 1-10, like the other trees)
Replaced old necro summon lifetime passives with new, ranked passives. 5 new passives with 5 ranks each.
Necro proficiency tree now goes to level 60
Adjustments
Added armor runes to quarry and armorer weekly income drops
Added bone dust to weekly graveyard income drops
Added metal ingots to weekly smithy income drops
Added new leather types to weekly fletcher income drops
Added all seed types to weekly general store income drops
Increased arrow craft amount from 5 to 15 per craft
In addition to the new skills listed above, all existing skills in the skill trees visited in this update have been revisited for a full balance pass. Only a handful of excessively powerful abilities were nerfed, and even those were kept minimal due to the new level requirements for higher-tier skills. Most adjustments focused on mana costs and cooldowns, with many abilities receiving lower cooldowns in exchange for higher mana costs. The goal isn’t to make the player feel weaker, but to make the skill trees feel more rewarding and ensure each ability feels appropriate for its level, while also working in tandem with the new stat system that was introduced in the last update. The goal is to allow the player to feel a continuous feeling of progression, no matter what they’re doing.
Armor damage reduction has been completely reworked. Previously, it used a coverage-based system that was overly complex and didn’t produce great results, especially for heavier armor.
Now, damage reduction is based directly on your total armor value—so 75 armor provides 75% damage reduction. This is capped at 90% to prevent full immunity (though I haven’t seen any builds reach 90 armor yet!).
The old system placed too much emphasis on certain armor slots (like legs, head, and torso), which made the overall experience feel inconsistent. This new approach should make armor feel more reliable and much more viable across all builds, especially now that the majority of magic skill trees have magic armor spells.
Massively increased Rune Attunement EXP gains. It should be 8x to 9x faster to level up. This should help kill the excessive grind of Rune Attunement and make it a bit more manageable! It still accounts for your rune effectiveness, so getting good rolls on runes grants a ton of EXP. It feels much smoother now!
Insight now spawns much more frequently during the Alchemist’s Cauldron minigame
Increased EXP gains for Armorsmithing. Tier 1 armor now gives 125 EXP instead of 25. Tier 2 now gives 250 instead of 125. (heavy armor tier 2 gives 350).
Greatly reduced armorsmithing EXP requirements
Increased armorsmithing EXP multiplier for socketing enchantments. It is now: - 50% more for 1 rune - 100% more for 2 runes - 150% more for 3 runes - 200% more for 4 runes - 300% more for 5 runes
Rune Attunement now gains double the experience granted from Enchanted Armor Crafting
Stealable items are now highlighted as RED instead of YELLOW. This should make it clearer to see what items are marked as a crime to take.

Hey everyone!
This hotfix addresses a number of issues introduced with the recent Armorsmithing update, along with some adjustments to progression and experience gains. The goal is to smooth out the leveling experience, fix unintended bugs, and make the new systems feel more rewarding and consistent overall.
I also want to make sure the new level system is heading in the right direction - so if you have a moment, I’d really appreciate your feedback. You can share your thoughts via this survey.
Your input will directly help shape the next update and fine-tune the system moving forward.
Thanks again for your patience and support - and sorry for the issues that slipped through!
Bug Fixes
Slotting armor runes into crafted armor no longer causes the armor to grant 0 Armorsmithing EXP.
Adding runes to armor now greatly increases Armorsmithing EXP:
1 rune = 30% bonus
2 runes = 70% bonus
3 runes = 120% bonus
4 runes = 180% bonus
5 runes = 250% bonus
This is intended to be the optimal way to level Armorsmithing.
Crafting enchanted armor will now also grant Rune Attunement EXP.
○ 50% of the Armorsmithing EXP gained is also granted to Rune Attunement.
Mushroom Helm (Number 29 custom heavy head armor) no longer causes major clipping issues.
Fixed an issue where some Pyromancy spells were not tracking Pyro kills correctly:
○ Cinder Bullet
○ Bouncing Fireball
○ Emberspark
The cauldron in the Necromancer Classroom at the Mage’s College no longer clips the player into the wall when interacted with.
Chiseling now correctly gives all artifact types instead of only armor runes. (I accidentally left some of my test code in there — sorry!) Armor runes should appear about 20% of the time for chiseling
Increased drop rate for armor runes from ALL ore types
Deer now drop Deer Pelts again. (This is temporary until I replace all recipes and quests that require them. Once those are updated, Deer Pelts will be retired and replaced with basic leather items)
Custom armor now tracks armor levels correctly:
○ Armor 1–5 = Light Armor
○ Armor 6–9 = Medium Armor
○ Armor 10+ = Heavy Armor
Base stats are now clamped to their new minimum values to prevent older saves (from before the level revamp) from falling below the new baseline:
○ Health minimum: 150
○ Stamina minimum: 200
○ Mana minimum: 100
Foot armor enchantments now work properly.
Fixed Rune Attunement skill EXP tracking
Fixed various spelling errors/typos in the level up window
Fixed issue with some skill VFX being untextured (like Heavy Sweep’s dirt FX)

This update introduces Armorsmithing and a fully rebuilt level system. Just as importantly, a major portion of this patch was dedicated to optimization, stability, and long-term performance improvements.

A lot of work went into reducing memory usage, improving UI efficiency, tightening up systems, and eliminating issues that could affect performance on mid-range hardware. If you experienced low-res textures in-game, this update should fix that for you!

Watch on YouTube

Additions

Light, Medium and Heavy armor skills have been added. Increasing these skills reduces the impact armor pieces of the associated class has on your mobility.
Armorsmithing – You can now craft Light, Medium, and Heavy armor. This includes armor enchanting, which introduces the new Rune Attunement skill and minigame.

Added Light Armor, Medium Armor, Heavy Armor, Chiseling, Rune Attunement, Armorsmithing and Focus crafting to the detailed stat window

Added new player base stats (strength, dexterity, intelligence, etc.) to the detailed stat window

Texture memory usage has been reduced by several gigabytes (yes, that much) through format and streaming improvements. This should help prevent blurry textures as well as keep camera movement smooth, and help reduce pop-in. It should also generally help stability on mid-range GPUs! I’m still very much learning everything about game dev and Unreal. This should be a great step towards the game running (and looking) much better!

Optimized skill window UI

Optimized trade window UI

Optimized character sheet UI

Player no longer clips into the ground when interacting with the Enchanting Table at the constructable Wizard’s Tower

Fixed issue with beards and noses showing when wearing some full helms

Guards no longer follow the player after speaking to them (unless you have a bounty, of course)

Fixed quest markers for “The Court Rebalanced” quest objectives

General Adjustments

Armor speed and mobility penalties have been updated. The impact of armor on player movement now depends on your skill level with the armor class you are wearing. For example, wearing Heavy Armor at low proficiency will greatly reduce mobility, while higher proficiency significantly lessens the penalty. This is a general buff, as even the baseline for the lowest level is the same as it was before. It just allows you to work towards making armor less burdensome and, when the skill trees are reworked, this will also allow for more passives and buffs to be added for better build crafting.

Decreased starting health, mana and stamina. This should help lean into the new level up system and slow down the power increase for players. The game is indeed a power fantasy, but players become incredibly powerful very soon. This should help slow that down a bit.

Drawing your bow no longer slows you down, allowing for full movement while using a bow and arrow

Full Level System Revamp

The primary level system has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. Previously, players chose between just three stats (Health, Mana, or Stamina) which offered modest bonuses. While each option included a few additional effects, some of these never functioned correctly and were disabled. The result was a flat, unengaging system that offered little room for meaningful specialization.
This old system has been thrown out the window, and a new nine-stat system has been implemented, allowing players to have better control over what their characters excel in.
With each level up you’ll be able to allocate 3 stat points to any of the stats.

The new stats are as follows:

Strength - Increases melee damage. Increases the weight of objects you can lift. Also increases the rate at which you gain EXP for melee-focused skills. Small increase to stamina.

Intelligence - Greatly increases mana. Also increases the rate at which you gain magic-focused EXP.

Dexterity - Increases critical hit and headshot damage. Also increases the rate at which you gain ranged EXP. Slightly increases stamina.

Endurance - Greatly increases stamina. Reduces armor's effect on mobility.

Fortitude – Greatly increases health

Constitution - Moderately increase health and stamina. Also slightly increases health regeneration.

Vitality - Greatly increases health regeneration.

Wisdom - Moderately increases mana regeneration. Slightly increases mana.

Willpower - Greatly increases mana regeneration. Small increase to mana.

You can also decrease stats, allowing you to freely re-spec your character.

And don’t worry – you don’t need to start a new game for this to take effect! When you load an existing save after this update, you’ll be automatically granted the appropriate number of stat points. Keep in mind that your already-existing character’s stats will appear higher than those of a newly created character. This is expected, as the baseline starting stats for new games have been lowered, while existing save stats have been left untouched.

Along with these changes, I also reworked the primary level EXP requirement formula. The one I was using before was quadratic, which felt really bad. Most players would top off at around level 15-20 or so, which is way lower than I wanted. To show just how big of a change this is, here’s a little table showing the difference in required EXP:

Level	Old EXP Equation	New EXP Equation
1	25	150
2	100	200
3	225	250
4	400	325
5	625	375
6	900	400
7	1225	525
8	1600	600
9	2025	625
10	2500	650
11	3025	725
12	3600	825
13	4225	975
14	4900	1050
15	5625	1150

Since starting stats have been lowered and the increase from stats has also been lowered, this new system should strike a balance between letting players level up more frequently while preventing too much of a power increase too early in the game. Again, the game IS a power fantasy, and you’re meant to feel powerful. But this should help players feel like you’re achieving that power yourself. This new curve will allow levels to still come steadily and slow down in a predictable manner, allowing for continuous growth while slowing down meaningfully at higher levels. There still is no level cap.

Note: If you’re playing on an existing save that has EXP towards your next level already, you might see that you are over the required amount of EXP for the next level. If this happens to you, simply gain at least 1 EXP and it will resolve itself via a level up.

Harbingers, A new update is now available to improve your journey in Eudros! This time, get ready to join a brand-new guild: the Mage’s College . Multiple new Mage’s College minigames await you, along with a variety of new magic-focused assignment types, a brand-new crafting type
Harbingers,
A new update is now available to improve your journey in Eudros! This time, get ready to join a brand-new guild: the Mage’s College.

Multiple new Mage’s College minigames await you, along with a variety of new magic-focused assignment types, a brand-new crafting type, and a new Chiseling skill with its own dedicated minigame.
Are you ready to make your adventure truly magical? ✨
BUG FIXES & OPTIMIZATIONS
General Fixes
Replaced the Gravecoil Ring inside the well at Old Glennheim with Blazesteppers, a new enchanted item. (If you already looted the ring in this spot, return to the well. Blazesteppers will now appear there.)
Fixed an issue where the sniper rifle scope would remain visible and block the camera when aiming.
The Hopsap Hollow puzzle no longer completes automatically.
Moved the spawn location of the bad barrel for the “Proof” questline to a more open area
Fixed issue with FOV slider not updating properly
Made the game generally brighter
The “Restore Defaults” button in the video settings now resets vsync and color deficiency type settings
Reworked chairs - they now do a check to see where the safest spawn is for the player, preventing players from being placed inside objects if chairs are placed close enough to other objects
Added the Silver Pinion to the console command spawn list. This way, those who didn’t get the reward due to a bug can now add it to their inventories. (AddItem SilverPinion)
The Arcane skill, Final Rites, now has a much larger AoE radius
Player weapon is now sheathed when they are planting seeds
The ESC button now closes the seed-planting UI
Equipment tooltips no longer show for emptied equipment slots
Fixed issue with button item codes showing on hotkey item slots when using controllers
You can now scroll readable book text when using gamepad
You can now scroll quest details in the journal when using gamepad
Added controller support for seed window
Food Item Buff Corrections
The following foods now apply their proper healing values:
Cooked Minitrout - Heals 50 HP
Boiled Carrot - Heals 20 HP
Fried Chicken - Heals 75 HP
Ham Stew - Heals 150 HP
Minitrout Sandwich - Heals 100 HP
Honey Bread - Heals 75 HP
Cheesy Wrangler - Heals 100 HP
Cheesy Minitrout - Heals 75 HP
ADJUSTMENTS
Staff Skill Tree Rework
The Staff skill tree has been completely converted into the new Focus skill tree.
All abilities previously locked to staves are now usable with wands, spellbooks, and staves, greatly expanding mage build variety.
Your Staff level will automatically transfer to the new Focus level.
The Focus tree is now broader, more future-proof, and allows for true spellsword-style builds when used with spellbooks.
Combat Camera Adjustments
The following abilities no longer trigger a third-person action camera:
Arcane Burst
Poisonous Waft
Detonation
Skill Functionality
All Staff skills have been updated to function properly with wands and spellbooks.
Bow + Crossbow Skill Changes:
One of the weakest-feeling skill trees in the game right now is bows and crossbows, largely due to how awkward many of the skills feel to aim and use. To address this and to help better shape the future of the skill tree, I have begun transitioning bow and crossbow abilities away from instant-cast shots.
As part of this change, I have implemented a quiver enchanting system to replace immediate-cast skills such as Fire Arrow, Frost Arrow, Rimeshot, and similar abilities. Instead of firing automatically, these skills now enchant your quiver, allowing your next nocked arrows to inherit the active effect. For example, activating Fire Arrow will enchant your quiver, causing the next arrow you fire to become a fire arrow. This addition should make bow skills much easier to use, especially for gamepad users, and just generally feels better to use.
I also plan to remove third-person cast animations from bow skills that suffer from perspective issues, which, frankly, is most of the skills that currently rely on a third-person camera. The goal is to make ranged combat feel more responsive, precise, and consistent with player intent. These changes will be rolled out gradually as I gather feedback from the community on the direction of bow and crossbow skills, ultimately leading into the Ranger’s Arsenal update, which will include many new bow/crossbow skills, passives, etc, all built upon the feedback gained from changes like this.
General Adjustments
Studying Magic (rune transliteration) now grants a 30-minute mana regen boost for every 5 streak you achieve while studying
The General Store now sells current seed types for farming, including several new ones!
Harvesting mature crops now spawns loot pickups, which I find to be more satisfying. ( Testers: If this is just annoying, let me know. It’s easy to swap back to automatically adding the items to the player’s inventory!)
Reworked farming levels and EXP gains. You should be able to level up much quicker with level 60 or so being the highest level seed in the game currently.
ADDITIONS
Armor
Added new Scholar Robe sets in blue, green, yellow, black, and purple.
Added unique Pale Scholar Robes, hood and hat
Added Surveyor’s Field Pack: A backpack that greatly increases your chance of finding chiselstones. Also allows chiselstones to be found in any type of ore.
Added a Geologist armor set
Weapons
New Weapon Type: Wands (see section below)
The Ossuary Pick: Using this weapon’s heavy strike instantly shatters a mining node. This method yields only a portion of the ore and provides no mining experience, but allows you to harvest mining nodes of any level.
New Farming Tools: Hoes!
These tools are classified as spears and can be used as weapons, but they’re very weak in that regard. The heavy attack of these weapons can be used to quickly harvest all mature crops in a radius. These items can be purchased at a General Store.
Rusty Farming Hoe: 10m harvest radius
Standard Farming Hoe: 20m harvest radius
Apprentice’s Farming Hoe: 30m harvest radius
Journeyman’s Farming Hoe: 40m harvest radius
Added new plantable seeds:
Cairnfruit Seeds: Grows quickly into stone-yielding fruit.
Ironrind Gourd Seeds: Can be planted to cultivate iron-yielding gourds.
Copper Floret Seeds: Matures into copper-yielding florets.
Corn Seeds: Grows into… well, corn.
Pinecones: Grows into fresh pine trees, which yield more wood than standard pine trees
Chiselpod Seeds: Grows into a small gourd that contains chiselstones!
Coalspore Bulb Seeds: Can be planted to grow into a coal-yielding bulb.
Cotton Seeds: Grows into cotton, which will be useful for armorsmithing, when that crafting type is added.
Coinburst Pepper Seeds: Grows into peppers that pop into 100 gold each.
Flax Seeds: Grows into flax that’s refined into flax twine, which will also be used for crafting armor when armorcrafting is added.
Silkvine Seeds: Can be harvested for Fine Cloth when fully matured
(Some of these new seed types were suggested by the Discord community. I’m hoping to add more unique seed types to incentivize farming and make it feel a bit more useful! If you have any ideas, leave them in the comments!)
THE NECROPOLIS OF DORNHURST
Structural & Layout Improvements
Added a new segment to the Necropolis entrance.
Removed randomized objectives when entering the zone.
Streets of Dornhurst and The Descent now load together, allowing seamless travel between the two major areas.
Gameplay & World Changes
Death Seals redesigned as the future guild currency for the Hollow Assembly and are now significantly more common.
Reworked puzzles, doors, and many functional systems throughout the Necropolis.
Added new NPCs, new dialogue, and new loot.
Added enemy spawns and furnished the interiors of several structures.
Performance
Major optimization pass:
Draw calls cut by ~50%
Improved navigation generation (Additional optimizations are still planned, but these were the major performance hitches)
Developer Note
When originally created, the Necropolis was meant to be a repeatable dungeon, which led to its massive size. Its purpose has since shifted: it is now the foundation for the future Hollow Assembly necromancy guild.
This update focuses on improving exploration, adding quests, and refining systems to support its new role. The guild itself will come later, built around delving into the Necropolis’ shifting crypts and repurposing the Undead Colosseum as a guild feature.
THE MAGE’S COLLEGE
World & Guild
The Mage’s College added to the overworld.
The Mage’s College Guild is now available.
All exterior and interior rooms are now accessible.
Skills & Systems
Added Focus Crafting (Wands only for now; Staff crafting will be added later).
Added the Focus Crafting skill.
Added Chiseling minigame and its associated skill.
Added multiple new magic book types for study.
Added a new classroom minigame.
Content
Added several dozen new assignment types across College classrooms.
Added ~12 new quests for the Mage’s College.
THE HILLS OF DELVENAUGH
New Locations & Points of Interest
Grimdelve Cave - contains two key puzzles.
Wandweaver’s Grove - early wand component area, also usable as optional player housing; contains a Spirit Guide puzzle.
Fieldsguard Catacomb - puzzle-focused crypt.
The Golden Canopy - features a delivery puzzle.
Vista point added at the top of the hilltop tower.
Unique Items
Steampulse Pack
Wobble Lenses
Reaper’s Mantle

General optimization passes across the region.
Refined Naeworth Keep.
Added a vessel at Naeworth Keep capable of curing Vampirism.
Added loot to the hilltop tower interior.
Added a new puzzle to the Everfall Cairns.
CHISELING
A brand-new skill and minigame!
Use hammers and chisels to uncover artifacts, fossils, ores, gems, and rare crafting components.
Higher Chiseling levels make uncovering high-tier artifacts easier.
Chiselstones now drop randomly when mining stone or coal.
Chiseling Stations are located at the Ossuary inside the Mage’s College.
WANDS
A new Focus weapon type!
Crafting
Wands are crafted at Focus Crafting Stations, currently located only at the Mage’s College.
Wand Components
Wand Focus - determines heavy attack type.
Wand Shaft - determines standard attack type.
Wand Core - determines the wand’s element.
Wend Grip - influences attack speed and overall weapon value.
Combine components to create your ideal spellcasting weapon!
Classroom minigame:
This is a small, lighthearted minigame meant to bring the Mage’s College to life. Sit in on a lecture with other students and respond to the professor’s questions as they’re asked. Every correct answer awards Mage’s College EXP and a 2-minute mana regeneration boost. Maintain a streak of correct answers to build a combo multiplier, earning increasingly greater rewards.

Harbingers,

A new update is available now to improve your journey in Eudros!
BUG FIXES AND ADJUSTMENTS
Mist of the Night no longer has overturn when using A or D to turn
The door to the last room in Tomb of the Ascended should now be open if you already completed the dungeon before. Now, you can properly enter the room and receive the angel wings if you did the dungeon *before* the last hotfix. It should work as usual for new saves.
Added missing “Leave Location Volume” to the Drakthul Fjord
The quest marker for Alric Steadfast during the “Atonement Unending” questline should now properly disappear after putting him to rest
When crafting weapon components, the mace should no longer show “guard” components in the dropdown
Mounts should no longer be “painted” by pathways placed in your village
Constructed buildings should also no longer be “painted” by pathways placed in your village
Morrak Ashwarden no longer spawns at the castle at Thraesir’s Vale before the proper quest is active
Updated EVERY SINGLE SKILL to work with new settings (mainly FOV settings) PS: This took forever and my head hurts
Settings have been completely reworked. This won’t mean much on the player’s end outside of the settings now functioning once again and that elements that weren’t working nicely even before controller support should now be working better.
Fixed gender-specific dialogue for Pembroke Wells and Fredrick Woodkin (they would call the player “Sir” regardless of gender)
Building previews now appear once again when selecting a building to construct in your village
Increased scroll speed for village decorating camera
Fixed issue that would cause lockups (and in some case a crash) when quickly pressing ESC to close the field crafting menu
Fixed issue with excessive civilian spawns at the harbinger's stronghold
Fixed Anointed Halo visibility issue
Oathsworn Wings are no longer visible when in first person
Fixed Brynda Runeweaver’s dialogue at the end of “The Rune Hermit’s Hoard” questline

Fixed dialogue with Dain Rockbellows
Fixed issue that would cause the companion “Skald” to spawn when you had “Bijan” selected as a companion
Fixed rune wheel puzzle in Khadrin’s End at the Pale Pass
Since selling multiple items in quick succession can cause issues if you DON'T use the multi-trade window (which can be accessed by right clicking items when trading), I made it so the multi-sell window automatically pops up if you’re adding more than one of the same item to the trading window. This only happens for player inventory, as that’s where the memory issues arise. (You can still access the multi-trade window when purchasing items by right clicking them.
Added collision to birch trees in the randomly generated autumnal areas
Fixed kill enemy objectives progressing multiple times when striking corpses
Boar Rush (and other skills that perform a quick shapeshift attack) no longer cause you to take fall damage from tiny falls
Fixed floating fishing spots at Thraesir’s Vale
Added missing bound volumes to Hammerstead
Added missing bound volumes to Runehill
Increased night brightness at Helgasker
Fixed lockup that would happen if you tried to fish at a sandfish spot without a sand rod
The Astral Rift event has been removed. If you had the event on your calendar already, it simply won’t spawn. Going forward, it won’t appear on calendars any longer. (at least until it’s more stable and more interesting)
Optimized weather FX
Fixed issue with Alastair not becoming a companion after finishing his questline (Helgasker)
Alastair should no longer appear in the tavern in Helgasker after he becomes a companion
Fixed issue that would grant you certain special items when you enter the Pale Pass after completing certain puzzles
The Gravecoil Ring should now restore health when near corpses, and stack with nearby corpses properly
Fixed dialogue issues with the Rune Hermit’s Hoard questline
Fixed issue with crossbows/flintlocks firing when fishing
Fixed issue with ranged weapons preventing weapon swapping after catching a fish IF you started the fishing minigame with a ranged weapon equipped
Mount description text should now scale better to the window
Dain Rockbellows should no longer loop his quest dialogue after completing his questline (Thronhild Blacksmith)
Fixed issue that would cause your camera to be locked in third person if you attempted to get on a mount while in third person. You still won’t be able to get on mounts in third person since interactions aren’t set up for the third person camera
Added checks for when the player has a shield on their back (unequipped) and to force-hide the shield when in first person. Hopefully this prevents any camera clipping with shields going forward!
Condensed the achievements into better categories (also added missing categories to many achievements)
Achievement details should scale much better now in the achievement screen
Optimized achievement sheet
Fixed issue with cooking recipes being duplicated in the recipe selection window
Fixed issue with controllers not working for the assignment popup from civilians
ALL weapons and shields are no longer visible at all when sheathed and in first person
The completed building overview now works with controllers
Fixed issue with the “Inverted” checkbox not working/saving properly
ALL mounts should use inverted controls if you have inverted controls enabled
Village overview board should now work with controllers
Weapons/offhand items (like shields, spellbooks) now hide when harvesting a tree/mining node
Elvara Mistvein’s shop (Helgasker) should open properly after completing the quest associated with her

New cauldron minigame. Cauldrons can currently only be found at the alchemist that you can construct at your stronghold!

Due to an engine issue with some collision profiles being mixed up, a lot of stuff was unintentionally messed with. I’ve tried my best to go through and fix these issues! The main things affected by this issue were skills and some interactions.
BUG FIXES
Fixed all caps text at the top of the skill book
Spear skills should now connect with enemies properly
Potioncrafting should now work with controller input (Although there is no keyboard overlay when entering your custom potion name, unfortunately. You can leave it blank for the potion to be automatically named when crafting the potion.)

Fixed collision issues with the rock overhand at Sven Vync’s abode at the Pale Pass
Added missing block volumes to Grimnir’s Gate

Necrotic Choke should no longer make enemies clip into the player when grabbed
Fixed issue with grapple controls not appearing properly when using a controller

You can now use the arrow keys once again for the weaponsmithing minigame
Fixed issue with Altarlight Pauldron’s light source not working in first person
The Chapter quest given by the Chapter Commander in Hammerstead is now given properly (Atonement Unending)
The wings received at the end of the tomb dungeon at the Drakthul Fjord have been replaced with the proper (non demonic) wings. If you already received the demon wings, you can return to the tomb and pray to the statue in the back room to receive your Oathsworn Wings. (:
The Frenzied Brothers at the Pale Pass should no longer have 1 hp each
Fixed issue with harvestables locking attack input when gathering with the interact button
LOCALIZATION FIXES/IMPLEMENTATIONS
Graphics settings should now appear as localized without switching the graphics settings

Harbingers,
It’s time to begin, continue, or return to your adventure in Eudros, because one of the biggest updates for The Bloodline is now live!

Explore the new icy kingdom of Lonland, featuring new quests, weapons, characters, and much more. Enjoy a fresh gameplay experience with the controller support*, along with numerous adjustments, improvements, and bug fixes. Challenge yourself with new puzzles, explore new areas, and get ready to collect brand-new special items with unique effects.

The future of Eudros is in your hands.
Watch on YouTube

* For the smoothest gameplay, we recommend using an Xbox controller. PS5 controllers are supported, but since they don’t rely on XInput (the standard used by most PC games), they might not always behave as expected. If you want the most consistent and trouble-free experience, an Xbox pad is the way to go!
BUG FIXES & OPTIMIZATIONS
Undead Miner now has a 30 second cooldown
Fixed jump/grab sound that would play when pressing jump again while airborne
Fixed visibility issue with Sturdy Wood Kiteshield when on the player’s back. It should no longer block your vision when running with it unequipped
Fixed issue that wouldn’t let you accept more than 20 quests at a time (you can now have unlimited quests active)
Korfil Silvergrog’s dialogue can no longer be closed with ESC, which could break his questline if done at the right time.
The Odachi blades now face the correct way
Fixed various double-listed pommels
Silver Flamberge blade can now be properly crafted
Massively improved load times

Many, *many* fixes done on vampire attacks and behaviors
Fixed issue with runereader achievement unlocking even if you didn’t translate a rune properly
Attempting to sit with a weapon equipped will now auto-sheathe your weapon, preventing odd animations

The player character is no longer wearing gloves by default. Some arm armor will now add gloves to the player.
ALL tutorials have been updated to work for controllers as well as mouse and keyboard
Updated the “New Item” popup UI element
Great axes have been reclassified. Before, they were classified as Halberds, making it so 2H skills wouldn’t work with them. They are now classified as standard 2H weapons.
Removed the Velosian Guard questline for the time being
Updated Wolfden Priory harvestable spawns
Green Slime ingots are no longer classified as food (note that this will only be reflected when you have a NEW stack of Green Slime ingots in your inventory)
Reduced base summon lifetime from 200 seconds to 60 seconds (passive skills will help increase summon lifetime duration. It was just too high for the base amount)
Undead Miner now has much less health
Undead Miner now deals very little damage
Added more weight to the Hill Troll’s ragdoll
Grimclaw companion health increased
Amulets and rings now have their own slot, allowing you to have a support/cosmetic item as well as an amulet or ring.

Greatly increased base stamina regeneration rate
The objective for the quest “The Angler’s Revenge” should now update properly after catching the Sandscale Spineback
Removed the interactable skull from the Tomb of the Betrayer until the content related to it is added
ADDITIONS
Controller support has been added! For the smoothest gameplay, we recommend using an Xbox controller. PS5 controllers are supported, but since they don’t rely on XInput (the standard used by most PC games), they might not always behave as expected. If you want the most consistent and trouble-free experience, an Xbox gamepad is the way to go!
The Kingdom of Lonland is now open for exploration!

State of Eudros #10 - Controller Support, Polls & Next Kingdom!
Harbingers, It's been a little while since our last State of Eudros, our monthly update on the development of The Bloodline - but we've been deep in the thick of production! After last month's massive update, Secrets of the Forge - which introduced a complete Weaponsmithing Rewor
Harbingers,
It's been a little while since our last State of Eudros, our monthly update on the development of The Bloodline - but we've been deep in the thick of production!
After last month's massive update, Secrets of the Forge - which introduced a complete Weaponsmithing Rework and Armor System Rework - our tireless Milo has returned to focusing on bug fixing and developing the new Kingdom, while also receiving support on a few extra tasks. So, let’s take a closer look at what’s been happening lately!
CONTROLLER SUPPORT 🎮
Work on controller support has continued non-stop, and we’re finally happy to say - it’s done!
It’s now in the hands of our QA team for full testing, and so far the feedback is looking very promising. There’s a good chance that full controller support might be included in the next update.
Of course, we can’t promise that for certain just yet, as testing is still ongoing - but we’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, here’s a short clip of it in action!

KINGDOM 3: LONLAND ❄️
Milo wanted to share some updates on the progress being made on Kingdom 3: Lonland.
This will be the final kingdom added before he goes into full-steam “Polish Mode”, focusing on refining all existing locations and content in the game. Lonland should keep players busy while he prioritizes expanding Kingdoms 1 and 2, completing all skill trees, and adding the long-awaited Mage’s College and Company of Thieves!
In the meantime, enjoy this short teaser of the new locations awaiting you in Lonland.
Watch on YouTube
POLLS 📊
As many long-time players know, Milo regularly runs polls in the official The Bloodline Discord - and if you haven’t joined us there yet, we warmly invite you to come share your opinions!
Recent polls featured unarmed-enhancing gauntlets and some unique boots. Some of the items in these polls were selected from the "Enchanted Item Request Form" we mentioned in a previous State of Eudros (which, by the way, is still available at this link!).
Here are the results of those polls:
Gale Runners: After sprinting for 3 seconds, gain a burst of speed
Curd Stompers: Replaces your feet with blocks of cheese. Pressing jump while in the air slams your down, dealing AoE damage
Skullcrush Boots: Jumping on dead low-level enemies raises them from the dead.
Booters: Your unarmed SHOVE attack is replaced with a powerful kick!
Windstep Treads: Dodging now flings you into the air in the direction you are moving!
Soles of the Veiled Sprint: Sprinting makes you blind, but increases sprint speed by 10x!
Milo wasted no time - the winning items from these polls have already been implemented in-game!

Check out the video below to see them in action:

FOLLOW THE JOURNEY
To stay in the loop with smaller and constant development updates, you could follow Miles on TikTok and X, where he posts regularly. If you want to chat directly with him, you can join the official Discord server, which is also the best place to share your suggestions and feedback.

The world of Eudros will continue to evolve, and we hope you're enjoying this adventure with us ⚔️

Fixed issue with NPC names not being visible
Fixed issue with some weapon components not showing the correct recipe (or any recipe)
Fixed flickering issue when mounted in third person
Fixed issue with some components not snapping to the correct sockets
When starting to craft a weapon, the camera now centers on the center of the anvil (where the arrows for the minigame spawn)
The rubble covering the anvil at the Harbinger’s Stronghold should now always be destroyed after mining all of the tutorial nodes
Fixed inconsistent armor values on storefronts and storage tooltips
Fixed issue with duplicating enchanted items in storage

Fixed issue that would cause all gear to inherit the color of the Tattered set you get at the beginning of the game when equipped
Weapons are now auto-sheathed when you interact with an anvil, preventing odd animations
Custom-forged daggers are now detected as such and should not allow a shield to be equipped at the same time as them
Equipping custom-forged daggers when a shield is equipped now auto-unequips the shield, as it does with preset daggers
The dropdown menu when crafting weapon components should now populate in order of level. Lowest level components first, and higher components last.
Fixed issue with custom-forged rapiers sheathing on player’s backs
Fixed issue with custom-forged daggers sheathing incorrectly (one would appear on the back, similar to the rapier)

Harbingers, The news update Secrets Of The Forge is available now to improve your journey in Eudros! This one focuses mainly on the Weaponsmithing Rework and Armor System Rework, which - along with the full list of bug fixes and adjustments - we break down in detail in this article!
BUG FIXES
Lightning Rod now consumes mana properly
Lightning Rod now grants electromancy EXP
Fixed issue with Arcane Bolt that would cause an attack lockup if casting it exhausted your mana
Fixed issues with enchanted gear that would cause it to sometimes not activate or activate several times
Fixed issue that would cause flintlock weapons to jam after gathering a resource

Fixed dead-end dialogue with Prawix
Fixed a couple equipment items that had inconsistent tooltip details
Fixed issue with weaponsmithing EXP not tracking properly
Fixed camera sensitivity being linked to framerate... finally! Sorry about this – It was an obvious solution that I just didn’t understand. I’m still learning, after all (;
Fixing the camera sensitivity issue in turn should also fix an issue that some users report about their camera suddenly jerking in a different direction
Fixed third person camera issue when riding on griffon
Players can no longer place auto turrets on top of one another (could cause players to get stuck within the turrets)

ADJUSTMENTS & OPTIMIZATIONS
Griffon mount now has better handling when flying
Further optimized crafting window
Reworked mining/smelting/weaponsmithing tutorial given by Theo Macgowan at the Harbinger Stronghold. Before, it required lots of leaving/returning to the stronghold. This new tutorial should be a bit smoother and direct, while still showing players the basics.
Refined Mary Osterhout’s quest to introduce the player to woodcutting. She also better explains village mechanics now.
Updated Rasoul’s dialogue (the weapon trainer at the Harbinger Stronghold)
Improved Self Propulsion Boots functionality
Adjusted various loot table spawn rates and added new items to some loot tables (lockpicks can be found more often now!)
Optimized crafting menus
Optimized Harbinger Stronghold
Adjusted the speed at which the quality bar is filled when crafting weapons. The amount that the quality bar is filled is still increased with every weaponsmithing level, but at a more steady rate.
Climbing EXP Orbs no longer require you to be climbing to collect them since
Removed “Atacamite Ingots” from smelting and replaced them with “Mystcopper Ingots” (Atacamite and Slimemetal were too similar. Mixing copper and atacamite will create mystcopper)
Adjusted some ingot level requirements for smelting:
- Silver is now level 5
- Gold is now level 6
- Moonstone is now level 7
Added an auto-save checker. Specifically, this check ensures the player isn’t falling before auto saving. This should help prevent saves when flying or when players manage to get out of bounds and fall out of the map

Player can no longer equip weapons when mounted and in third person (you couldn’t attack properly when in third person on mounts anyways)
Increased all damage dealt by Armored Troll
ADDITIONS

Added skill tutorial (takes place after combat tutorial)
Added new coconut helm available from Omar the CocoNUT
Added detailed potion crafting tutorial
Added weapon components to loot tables
Added new weapon components to loot tables
Weaponsmithing has been completely reworked
You can disassemble weapons by right-clicking them in your inventory and selecting “disassemble”
Disassembling CRAFTED weapons will return the components to your inventory
Disassembling PRESET weapons will return resources to your inventory
Added player storage, finally! The chest can be found in your room at the Harbinger’s Stronghold
Added new weaponsmithing level up jingle
Armor system rework
Having a total armor value above 50 will make additional armor foley sounds play when moving
Added new ingot type: Steel
WEAPONSMITHING REWORK
It goes without saying that the previous weaponsmithing system was very lackluster. It was shallow, uninteresting and didn’t draw players in. Some of the weapons you could make were cool, but even then, you craft them once and you’re done interacting with those elements ever again (unless you sell the crafted weapons, but I digress)
I wanted to make the weaponsmithing experience a bit more in-depth, polished, and fun to experiment with. The refined system allows players to craft weapons piece-by-piece! For example, crafting a sword requires you to assemble a grip, pommel, guard and blade together. Each element dictates the weapon’s speed, damage and value, allowing players to craft their ideal weapon. (Selling custom weapons is still a WIP but will work retroactively for already-crafted weapons since all the necessary data is stored in the weapon.)
Instead of adding a new crafting type (like highly requested armor smithing), I’ve decided to refine elements that are already present in the game. This will be a common theme going forward – polishing existing content until the sandbox experience is smooth, enjoyable and polished as I can make it!
Forging high-quality weapons doesn’t just improve their stats — it also boosts the EXP you earn from crafting them.
The equation EXP gains from forging weapons is the following:
EXP = (((OverallDamage * 1) + (OverallSpeed * 10) + (OverallValue * 0.5)) * QualityMultiplier) ^ 1.25
This equation ensures that both raw stats and weapon quality meaningfully impact the amount of EXP gained. Players are rewarded not just for crafting powerful weapons, but for perfecting their craftsmanship and aiming for higher quality tiers.
Crafting Difficulty - How does it work?
When forging your weapon, the weaponsmithing minigame will begin. Here, you’ll strike the weapon to enhance its quality. Successful strikes increase the quality bar.
The AMOUNT that the quality bar is increased depends on a couple factors; One being your weaponsmithing level and the other being the crafting difficulty of the weapon.
The crafting difficulty is based off of the EXP that the weapon earns you by crafting it. The same equation as above, except the quality multiplier isn’t applied in this case.
Weapon EXP is divided by 300 to determine the weapon’s difficulty rating. This rating directly affects how much the quality meter increases with each successful strike. The higher your weaponsmithing level, the more efficient your strikes become—each level adds a 1.5% bonus to the base increase per strike.
It may sound a bit complex, but I’ve found that it balances nicely in my tests so far.
For example:
At level 1, crafting a weapon worth 405 EXP (which is a lot for level 1) would only increase the quality meter by 1% per strike.
At level 6, that jumps to nearly 7% per strike. A weapon worth 405 EXP is about right in this level range.
And by level 15, you’re gaining almost 17% per strike. A 405 EXP weapon is still fine at this level, but in this level range, you should be crafting harder weapons.
This system should also help ensure that craftable weapons remain challenging at your current weaponsmithing level, preventing them from feeling trivial too quickly. I’m trying to achieve a balance of allowing the player to feel like they’re progressing as a weaponsmith without making it too easy, too quickly. It should also allow those who are really good at the minigame to be able to craft powerful weapons earlier. If you come across a stash of Moonstone weapon components at a low weaponsmithing level, you can still try forging them… but only skilled players who have mastered the minigame will be able to unlock their full potential so early on.
So far, I’ve found that this helps encourage creating high quality items rather than creating many low-quality items. That being said, however, I’m sure there will be some balancing that needs to be done to make it feel just right.
ARMOR SYSTEM REWORK
The armor system has been gutted and reworked! More specifically, how damage reduction, sprint stamina reduction, jump stamina reduction, and movement speed are calculated.
Damage reduction broken down
DamageReduction =
(HeadArmor ^ 1.15) * 0.10 + (ShoulderArmor ^ 1.15) * 0.10 + (ArmArmor ^ 1.15) * 0.15 + (TorsoArmor ^ 1.15) * 0.30 + (LegArmor ^ 1.15) * 0.20 + (KneeArmor ^ 1.15) * 0.05 + (FeetArmor ^ 1.15) * 0.10
This equation factors in how much of the body each armor piece protects. For example, torso armor is multiplied by 0.30 because it covers approximately 30% of the body. This ensures that larger, more critical armor pieces contribute more significantly to your overall damage reduction.
The exponent in the equation (1.25) introduces non-linear scaling, meaning that higher armor values contribute more than lower ones. This helps make heavier armor feel stronger. Instead of each point of armor always providing the same benefit, the exponent ensures that the impact of armor increases more noticeably as the value rises—while still keeping low armor values modest.
Stamina consumption for running and jumping broken down
EffectiveArmor = max(0, ArmorRating - ArmorOffset)
StaminaDrain = BaseStaminaDrain × (1 + ((EffectiveArmor ^ Exponent) / SoftCap))
This equation ensures that sprint stamina drain is minimally affected by low armor values, while higher armor values cause a gradual and noticeable increase in stamina consumption.
For example, wearing 50 armor increases stamina drain by approximately 37%.
The “armor offset” ignores the first 5 points of armor, allowing light armor builds to sprint without significant penalties, rewarding mobility-focused playstyles. The same method is used for calculating stamina costs for jumping.
Movement Speed and Jump Height Breakdown
Armor now has a greater effect on movement speed and jump height. Here’s the equation for it:
EffectiveArmor = max(0, ArmorRating - ArmorOffset)
SoftCap = 30
MoveSpeedMultiplier = 1 - ((EffectiveArmor ^ Exponent) / ((EffectiveArmor ^ Exponent) + SoftCap))
This equation controls how movement speed is reduced based on the player's total armor, rewarding lighter armor builds with minimal slowdown while ensuring heavier armor feels appropriately bulky - but not too slow, as I’ve added a clamp to ensure your speed never reduced more than 50%.
In summary, it’s pretty much how you’d expect it to behave: Low armor values have little to no impact on movement speed, while higher armor values result in a gradual reduction.
For example, wearing 50 armor reduces your movement speed by approximately 29%.
The equation includes an “armor offset”, which ignores the first 5 points of armor to give light armor users full mobility, the same principle as stamina consumption. The same % of movement speed decrease is applied to your jump height as well.
KNOWN ISSUES
Loot window ESC key needs to be added
ESC doesn’t close village windows
Druid sight not working until respawn
Crafting menu doesn’t close with ESC
Space while gathering causes camera issues
Need to Alphabetize building list

What's your "The Bloodline" Play Style? - Survey Results!

Hey Harbingers,
Milo here! Last week, I asked players on our Discord server to fill out a "What’s your playstyle” survey.
Those who participated in the survey assisted me in gathering data on your individual playstyles to determine which are the most and least popular. This information will help me refine development priorities and better tailor the experience. Plus, it’ll be exciting to see the final results together!
To start, let’s take a look at the data summary!
What are your three most used combat skills?
Necromancy took the lead by a longshot! Necromancy is one of the largest skill trees in the game with plenty of passive skills as well, which likely contributes to why it’s the winner for the most-used skill tree. Of course, Necromancy is also just a popular magic type in general, so that also can play into the results. People like summoner styles, after all!
The next three trees under Necromancy are all melee trees, which each have a decent number of skills and passives within them. There’s still room for more skills and passives within those trees, but this indicates that the trees are in a relatively good state and that those trees are fun to play currently.
The main part that I want to focus on in this graph is the lower half. So, from “Spears” downward.
This data tells me what trees are one or more of the following: The skills in the trees aren’t fun, the skill tree isn't expansive enough, or the tree just isn’t as popular as others.
My goal for The Bloodline has always been to allow players to play the exact class they want to play as. So, to me, the result of “the skill tree isn’t as popular as the others” doesn’t play a huge role towards if the skill tree will be expanded or not – just the priority it takes. So, don’t worry, those of you who love using a staff or a shield with aeromancy – This doesn’t mean I won’t be focusing on those skill trees. Quite the opposite! This tells me those trees need more love and attention.
Some expectations going into the survey was that the newer, smaller skill trees like staves, aeromancy, vampirism would all be low on the ranking – which they were. These trees have few skills and passives, which of course would result in them being used less than others.
What surprised me was that bow & crossbow was so low on the ranking! Same with daggers – I expected that one to be near the top.
Let’s dive a bit deeper into each category now!
Melee Weapons ⚔️
Unarmed, One-Handed and Two-Handed weapons dominate melee skill trees. Again, these trees are well fleshed out with a decent number of passives within them. However, the outlier that I see here are Daggers. This tree is much lower than the others and has a good number of skills and passives within it! This can suggest that perhaps the daggers' skills themselves aren’t as fun to use as the other skill trees, or that daggers themselves just aren’t as popular, which I don’t think is the case. I do think that the games weak stealth system also plays into this – dagger builds are typically used by stealth characters and, let's be honest, The Bloodline doesn’t have a great stealth system in place (yet!)
Shields being the lowest of the melee trees isn’t quite surprising – it's more of a passive and defensive piece of gear and the skill tree is somewhat limited in its skill selection. I would love to bump shields up to where spears are in usage – perhaps by allowing players to use shields with more weapon types or even when unarmed, as well as adding more shield skills to the tree.
Next, let’s take a look at magic!
Magic 🪄
I believe magic is the backbone of The Bloodline and shows my mentality for the games’ development. "If it’s fun, it gets added."
With so many magic trees, it’s difficult to find time to make skills for all of them - ideally, every magic skill tree will be as expansive as Necromancy someday. This chart should help me focus my efforts into skill trees that need it.
We see much more of an even (disregarding Necromancy) spread between magic types here, which makes me super happy. Blood Magic, Druidism, Arcane and Electromancy are all super close in ranking with Geomancy and Cryomancy not too far behind.
As mentioned before, Necromancy is one of the largest and most fleshed-out skill trees in the game. The next largest magic tree is pyromancy, both on the graph and in-game.
Seeing that many of the other trees are so close to one another in ranking, this leads me to believe that they each have their own identity and feel at least somewhat fun to use – they just need a bit more love and attention to bring them up to the level that Pyromancy and Necromancy are at.
Lastly, we have the smallest category – ranged.
Ranged Weapons 🏹
This is the most balanced of the categories – likely in part due to the small selection. What surprised me most about this one is that nearly 26% of those who participated in the survey don’t even touch ranged weapons. This could be due to a few factors – maybe they just use ranged magic, nullifying the need for a ranged weapon. Or, maybe (and in my opinion, more likely), players find the ranged skills difficult to use. Whether this is due to the forced camera change for some skills or maybe difficulty aiming while pressing the skill button, they’re valid reasons to not use ranged skills. Another factor to consider is the limited skill bar. Most enemies tend to get up close pretty quick, and having your precious few skill slots taken up by ranged skills can be a dealbreaker!
This had led me to brainstorm what I can do to alleviate the need to pick-and-choose skills for your limited skill bar. I’ve come up with a couple ideas, which I hope to get feedback on from the community:

Dynamic Skill Bar Your skill bar was actively swap depending on what weapon you have equipped. This would allow you to have a full skill set for every single weapon class. Example: You enter an area, weapon sheathed. Your skill bar would be set to an “out of combat” skill bar. You equip your 1H sword and your skill bar automatically swaps to your 1H skills. You see a goblin in the distance, so you swap to your bow and your skill bar swaps to your bow skills.
Radial Skill Bar Loadouts Similar to the dynamic skill bar, but not automatic. The player can have many skill loadouts, allowing them to actively swap between them as they desire.
And, finally...
Non-Combat Skills 💎
Unsurprisingly, mining, running and jumping all take the top 3 spots by a long shot!
This, of course, was expected. All players run and all players jump – and who doesn’t like mining? Although I did expect wood cutting to be closer to the top 3. The big drop between jumping and woodcutting was somewhat surprising.
With many of the crafting skills being low, this tells me that that aspect of the game needs to be improved. Adding more interesting and unique content to the crafting types would of course help. I also think having small guilds focused on the crafting types would help make it more interesting and allow for more world-building and roleplaying opportunities. Perhaps the small guilds could offer crafting recipes, unique quests, etc. - it’s really just a matter of improving what is already in place rather than completely revamping it.
Thank you to everyone who took part in the survey! So many of you participated, and – as I’ve already mentioned – your responses will be incredibly helpful in improving your experience in The Bloodline!
For those who couldn’t take part, feel free to leave your comments on the topic here: the 505 Pulse team will help me gather your feedback and integrate it with the survey results. 💪

Additions

Added new Halberd animations (only 1 or 2 halberds are in the game, so this isn’t a big change. Nearly all players won’t notice this change. Just getting ready for a halberd revamp in Kingdom 3)
The holiday of Hearthsong now is set up to occur only during the 12th month of the year OR when the real-world month is December.
Added Aeromancy to the detailed stats window
Added Smelting to the detailed stats window
Churches now spawn Priests who you can exchange tithes with (Church of Arosa guild currency)
Deer, rabbits, pigs and friendly wolves now spawn at your village if you have enough Druid theme points

Skeleton Visitors will now spawn at your village if you have enough Necromancer points
Adjustments

Changed the way fire damage is done to the player. Looping fire damage now appears under the health bar (instead of on the right side of the screen, where it would be blocked by quests)
The player can only be set on fire for a maximum of 5 seconds
Necro summons now teleport to the player if they’re far away from the player’s location. This should help prevent the frame-skipping that some players have been experiencing when summoning
Made the UI shake more cleanly when crafting an item. Before it was quite jarring, now it’s less so
Moved the Aeromancy skill “Tornado” to level 3 Aeromancy
Farming Plots now hide grass around them in a wider radius
Custom potions now stack! (Won’t work for duplicate potions already in your inventory. Will work for newly crafted potions.)
Removed donation window popup from churches
Caravan Ambush events now spawn between 5-10 bandits (before it was always 5)
Earthen Crush now costs 25 mana to summon the stone, 25 to slam it to the ground
Changed compass indicator icons for locations at the Molten Crag
If you save while wielding an Ichorian Blade, the next time you load, the weapon will be removed
Unequipping an Ichorian Blade will cause it to dissolve and not be added to your inventory
Adjusted many mesh LODs to lead to a more optimized overall experience
Reduced the size of damage numbers
Added new Shieldbearer Studio logo intro (no more being blasted by a warhorn lol)
Changed village overview theme bars slightly to convey their function more clearly
Grappling Hook Changes

Throwing your grappling hook now requires 25 stamina. If you don’t have enough stamina, you will not throw your grappling hook.
Swinging/launching from your grappling hook now requires 25 stamina as well. If you don’t have enough stamina, your grapple will simply unhook from whatever it’s attached to
Note: I plan to have a grappling hook skill that you can level up to make your grappling more efficient and effective.
Made more surfaces deflect your grapple (essentially more stone surfaces to make it more consistent as to which surfaces can be grappled onto and which cannot)
