(So uh this update came out like a month ago. I (typ) have been working on the Items 2.0 update with every single free moment i've had since. It's done now, and in the QA phase, so it should also be coming out this week. But in case you haven't played in the last month because you didn't see anything new posted here for awhile... my bad. i may have been hyper-focused for awhile. a long while. But it turned out really really good!
The Items 2.0 Update should be coming out later this week! See you there.)
Highlights:
Noctis, The Weekend Trader
Something is standing in the Tavern from Friday 00:00 UTC to Monday 00:00 UTC, every week. He is not interested in your gold or platinum, and his will is not his own.
Noctis carries 3 event items per visit, rotated every weekend, and every one of them is retired event equipment.
Hallowed Hunt, Krampus, Easter, Valentines, Typ's Trip, and Anniversary gear are all in his rotation. Missed Halloween? Missed Christmas two years running? He remembers, and he marked you naughty.
Base listings cost silver plus a relic piece. The silver price is rolled fresh every weekend (6,000-12,000) and the relic piece is drawn from the full relic pool, so the same item is a different ask week to week.
Base listings roll their affix like a natural drop - HATED characters can pull HATED affixes off him.
Attuned listings: when a ware can roll its event's affixes, Noctis also sells an attuned version with one of those event affixes already attached. Same silver, plus a relic piece, plus a random Special/Unique item as tribute.
One of each per account, per visit. Stock rotates when he leaves.
Isolation Characters can purchase and use these items as well! Good luck PPEs.
(dev note: the idea here is that holdiday equipment shouldn't be dead content for 11 months of the year. Hopefully with this, PPEs and any future seasonal mode characters are allowed to access these funky uniques. The shop is deliberately expensive and deliberately random. Noctis is not a catalogue, he is just guy. I think.)
New Old East Miniboss - Giant Mushy
The Old East has a new champion, that's not the Champion, and he brought friends.
Thwomp.
An anchored 360-degrees-per-second axe swirl that ignores terrain. It does not fly - it orbits you. 6 tile diameter, 321-503 damage, IP 37.
Impermanence: Be good or begone.
Impermanence has always been client authoritative, and we knew that couldn't last.
Every early disconnect on an Impermanence character is now classified and counted.
Repeated ABUSIVE disconnects will result in the character losing the Impermanence Totem and it's HATED status.
We have an internal logging / calculation to determine which disconnects are abusive or legitimate, and we haven't had any false removals yet, so it seems to be working well enough :)
Slash Command Autocomplete
Start typing a / in chat and the game now tells you what exists, what it wants, and what goes where.
The command's usage renders inline in the chat box as dim ghost text, it's like Minecraft.
Tab accepts, Enter sends. Esc and controller B dismiss the dropdown without unfocusing chat.
Multi-word arguments work. Item names with spaces, ban reasons, all of it.
Desktop only for now; the plumbing is platform-neutral so a mobile version can reuse it when we circle back.
Aim Assist, Rebuilt
Like really, from the ground up. I wouldn't even know where to start with the bullet points, but just know it's quite good now :) Please stop complaining about rolling aim assist affixes :prayge: :sunglas:
smaller stuffs:
Additions
Isolation Gem Bank - private, upgradable gem storage for Isolation characters, purchased with your character's silver.
(typ note: this is bugged. its less bugged in Items 2.0 so look forward to that!)
Audio output device selection
Chat font size is now its own option, separate from the chat widget's scale - so you can fit more text in a box you've sized yourself
Undo/redo in the HUD editor, plus better drop-point detection and hotkey gating while editing
Controller bindings for Party Summon and Accept Summon - Layer 2 shoulders by default (LB summons, RB accepts)
Party summon now drops a world icon so you can see where you're being pulled to
Dropdown-style options in the Options menu, starting with the audio pages
/guild command family - guild actions are their own namespace now instead of living on bare /leave
Added a bunch of new enemy behavior tech!
Added attainments for Pedipalp and Bubble Terror
Changes
Mana regen buffed to 0.13 MP/sec per Wisdom (1.3x). At 70 Wisdom that's 7.0 -> 9.1 MP/sec, refilling a full bar in ~38s instead of ~50s. Blessed is untouched and still a flat addend on top.
Name styling pass. HATED now appears as a visual effect on top of whatever color a player's name should be otherwise
Enemy movement interpolation was once-overed
Keys can only be used in safe areas
Hallowed Head's second transform linger is re-enabled. Its damage was always balanced around both lingers overlapping; the revert was broken (see Fixes) so it had been disabled.
The Big Special's projectiles are now anchored
Ominus manasteal reduced (18% chance / 7% -> 10% chance / 5%)
Mana-on-kill can no longer roll on Masks
Isolation loopholes closed.
( typ note: >:( )
Isolation spendable score is a real character wallet.
Crafted items now roll affixes
Toggle Hide Players is now a configurable button in the mobile layout
Fixes
Item tooltips now show the correct range for orbiting/curving projectiles
Enemy behavior timings now hit their authored period. There were many instances of there being a full tick gap before some behaviors were supposed to fire / would actually be received, limiting the pace of some technical timings.
(typ note: this is where the flesh "bug" came from, it really just reached its true form. it will still get a SLIGHT tone down in the Items 2.0 Update)
Polarity Pole's sub-50%-mana proc had its damage output corrected.
Tempest's was mad broken like three times over my bad.
Fixed the shield count shown on other players.
Fixed a previous character's backpack items reappearing when switching characters or worlds
Fixed a client crash rendering essence popups for empty slots
Fixed over-bright bloom on OpenGL -
Fixed the panning tile seams on OpenGL - the ~1px tear that ran along every tile boundary on moving surfaces
Fixed the "No Characters" bug
Fixed the party list losing its scroll position when a member joins or leaves
Fixed class unlock states not updating live in character create
Fixed the Dominion minimap pre-reveal
Fixed the boss health bar's teleport chip position
Fixed controller navigation firing on menus in the background
Windows focus handling: a 400ms grace on OS focus loss so a transient blip doesn't eat your input, and invisible/zero-size windows (overlays) no longer count as stealing focus
More. Lets be honest there's always more. Getting stuff in > documenting it sorry <3
Appreciate you guys still hanging around so deep into this patch, this next patch is going to be one of the biggest structural changes the game has seen thus far. Setting us up for even more stuff to come! The game's evolution is looking bright.
As always:
See you in the Dominion,

PPE Mode (Totems), Parties, New UI, One-Click Log In, Item Power Phase 1, More!
Our biggest non-rewrite update ever... Where to begin... Highlights: Totems + HATED (PPE Mode) The core idea of Totems, outside of giving us a dedicated PPE mode, was to offer endgame players a route to make the game more difficult for themselves for the chance at exclusive rewar
Our biggest non-rewrite update ever... Where to begin...
Highlights:
Totems + HATED (PPE Mode)
The core idea of Totems, outside of giving us a dedicated PPE mode, was to offer endgame players a route to make the game more difficult for themselves for the chance at exclusive reward. The totems were designed with the core game feel in mind, and are not meant to increase friction or decrease cooperation, just make the same game as hard as you want it to be. In the future, you may see temporary modes pop up with a slew of fresh/less focused/wackier/more fun-inspired totems. If you can think of fun challenge mode modifiers or are sad an idea you have didn't make the core list, we'll surely be searching for many ideas for these modes.
Enabling the Totem of Isolation, seen above as the PPE Mode Totem, is also the gate for enabling the other Totems which increase game difficulty in return for increased progression bonuses.
They are as follows:
Isolation: Gear must be found by this character. No vault withdrawals, and silver and essences are kept apart from your account. (+10%)
Deficiency: All healing except vitality regen is halved. (+5%)
Disease: Debuffs afflict you two tiers higher. (+5%)
Avarice: Red and pink affixes roll twice as often. (+5%)
Lament: Your maximum health, barrier, and shield are halved. (+10%)
Impermanence: The escape button takes 5 seconds to invoke, movement cancels it (+15%)
By enabling all totems on a character, you grant it a special existence known as HATED (Hardcore, All Totems EnableD).
HATED characters not only get the 50% Loot/Exp/Silver boost from all the Totems, but an additional set of cosmetic effects and more:
A special blacked/purple animated name effect in chat
A special black/purple animated name in-world
A special black/purple animated frame in character select
and...
Access to an additional tier of affixes, with a black/purple animated color scheme to match the theme. These affixes will be above pink (4 affix points vs 3) and are only able to be rolled NATURALLY. They will however, be more common than pinks are in the normal pool.
We hope for HATED to be an extension of the games current and future replayability, as well as a staple mode of its own to add onto!
Parties + Party Finder
Grinding Honey Hives for EXP? Alien Axes (RIP Bearcliff)? Got friends outside of your guild you want to have a group chat with? Start a Party!
A few of the benefits for Parties:
A private chat channel for your party
Party Summoning / Joining that will take you directly to the summoning player, down to the TILE (stay safe out there)
A Party HUD that allows you to see the HP/MP and current location of fellow members
an Incremental XP Boost! Let me explain...
Per Member of your party (excluding the first one... yourself) you will get a conditional XP Boost:
Party Members Total EXP Boost XP Boost Per Player
2
20.0%
10.00%
3
20.5%
6.83%
4
21.0%
5.25%
5
21.5%
4.30%
6
22.0%
3.67%
8
23.0%
2.88%
What're The Conditions?
In the same world? Get the Per Player Boost portion of the XP no matter what. Want to go AFK for a lil bit? Come back to a lil extra glory.
Nearby, but didn't tag the enemy yourself? Get credit as if you did anyway + the Per Player Boost. This should help any future EXP farming incentives be min/maxable through a co-operative measure, but not be so consistent or tangible enough to turn off solo or uncoordinated play.
New UI + Full Customization
The Main Game UI Has been overhauled! We've tried to create a much more modern experience, as well as migrating permanent UI elements toward the corners and out of important visual real-estate.
Hate the layout? It's Fully Customizable!
Hate it Hate it? Kinda rude, but you can also use the legacy UI for... however long we support it.
New Character Select / Create Menus
We've been experimenting with The Beyond for a long while now, but we've decided to retire it as the main route of character selection. We were inspired to return to the menu format, trying to recreate the magic we felt from the genre's origin.
Selection:
Creation:
Beyond enjoyers don't fret! It will still be accessible via the tavern if you want the visual representation of your graveyard.
Night Time Enemies in The Dominion
The Level 20 zones have been updated with new enemies, specifically for your brood-esque night jogs through it.
... Oh and they drop biome-specific Specials. So. Happy farming! New Minibosses are coming next update :)

Item Power (Phase 1) + Future Progression/Loop Synergy
(Copying the following from our Discord #teasers message on it. The format is a bit different than I write here, but conveying the whole idea together seems important... and I don't think taking the time to rewrite is worth it <3)
The first iteration of IP (Item Power) integration is upon us! it's still relatively incomprehensive, actual formulaic adjustment for abilities/armors/rings still haven't happened yet (there'll be a bloodbath when it does), but with the dawn of Parties and the Party Finder upon us we wanted a more direct way for players to be able to gauge the progression level of others as they search for people to play with. A few notes on what's seen above here:
Instead of Tiers, IP will be shown along side an items rarity: Basic (tiered for now), Special, Unique, etc.
Instead of Tiered comparison glowing green in bags, there will now be both base and affix-adjusted IP based comparison. (Green = adjusted/current IP better, Yellow = base/cap IP better, Red = worse in all cases) This glow will now also appear on the tooltips themselves instead of just the items for more intuitive comparison. (and means items in your inventory wont always be glowing if you're carrying Basic-Tiered swapouts)
Item Power as an actual fully-integrated system is still a ways away, and includes much more than just blanket adjustments to existing items as a new approach to balance as we've seen with weapons in the last year. It will also allow us to do away with linearly tiered items being the basis of each playthrough and item progression, allowing us to create 'Item Bases' (e.g. for archers, crossbows, shortbows, sling quivers, etc) that have a set range for each stat we can define and slot them into. so every time you create a new character that you've played before, you'll hopefully gain access to an increasingly novel playthrough experience as opposed to just going from t4 -> t6 -> so on of the same feeling bow. Item power also allows us to articulate the actual relative strength of Untiered items much more intuitively, as the gear that enemies can drop (and their bonuses for UT loot) is based off the level of the enemy that drop them. As I'll show more in future teasers, and probably a good footnote if this is the first you're hearing of Item Power or enemy levels (LV), the intention is for IP to be the first in our line of progression/game loop adjustments and overhauls that bring future-proofed balancing and difficulty in line with one another. A simple way to think about it:
Every Difficulty is 10 Levels (Intermediate 20-29, Experienced 30-39, Advanced 40-49, etc)
A Dungeon's Difficulty Level = The Level of the Boss Inside and the relative difficulty otherwise (e.g. River Maze is considered 25, Crypt 45, Void 38)
Difficulty Level = Maximum Base-Loot Level, before individual item bonuses (UT items get a IP bonus relative to where they drop, affixes also adjust IP shown. e.g. All Intermediate Uniques = 39 IP, Advance Uniques get a +8 IP bonus to their drop location e.g. Isolate Touch is 53 IP)
Far down the line with extended progression, we may also see Player Levels find their way up to being in line with IP and Enemy/Dungeon LV as well!
While the bulk of what these systems will represent is far down the road still, you'll begin to see gradual integration of these systems to make the gameplay loop feel more intuitive as the building blocks for overhauls come together. The end result will hopefully be a pretty novel, intuitive, and synergistic combination that makes the game as easy to digest and follow for new and genre-familiar players alike.
Ok, that should be the big stuff. Now for the other stuff.
Additions
Creator Code Support
(dev note: Content Creators will (soon) be able to apply for Creator Codes, in which use of will earn the user 10% bonus currency and the creator a small split of the net revenue. Specifics as to qualifying for a Creator Code will be released later)
New Projectile Tech: Lasers, Slashes, Homing Projectiles, and Anchored Projectiles
Trial Keys for Memory of Honey and Memory of Flesh!!
The Chat UI can now cycle between Public/Guild/Party/Whisper modes, holding their current channel between chats.
New 'Esc'ape menu that displays all buttons in one, including the Party List / Party Finder
New Map Tab, has controller bindings for quick-village TPs
Platform/Controller Specific Glyphs for Controllers!
(dev note: hopefully functioning properly! i do not own a dualshock!)
Dungeons now display their Difficulty (LV) on their portal, with dynamic coloring that's relative to player's current IP
Trades are now Accepted/Declined in Chat
Guild Invites are now Accepted/Declined in
Chat Party Invites are Accepted/Declined in Chat
Remade Options Menu
Added Search in Options Menu
Controller Arrow Opacity
Separate Projectile Outline/Glow Toggle
Support for wave-based Admin Events
Support for timed server-wide Boosts for Admin Events
Changes
The Entire Dominion Minimap is Pre-Revealed upon load, except for Setpieces!
All Potions gained a pooled 0.6s cooldown.
(dev note: while we're looking to switch over to an equipped-flask system soon, a cooldown is needed to make the current content balanced closer to its intended difficulty. the ability to have 32 potions you can spam at will, and have an inconsistent experience in consumption based off your ping, was damaging beyond something that could be ignored until a larger overhaul)
Tiered Talisman's have been overhauled again, no more group invisibility! They now focus on using invisibility to setup a dps-chunk via an aoe explosion and armor-break linger at the end of channeling.
(dev note: it was a fun experiment, but it way overstayed its welcome. won't happen again maybe! basic talismans are pivoting to a new playstyle of invisible dive-bombing, offering the armor break debuff back + a big dps burst as they exit their targets reaches.)
Cardiac Clock Mana Cost Increased (80 -> 95)
What Once Was Mana Cost Increased (100 -> 125)
What Once Was Cooldown Increased (1s -> 2s)
Beast Release Channel Mana Cost Decrease (90mp/s -> 75mp/s)
Major Tempest Changes pivoting it toward a strong large-mp burst damage with anchored high-damage snowflake projectiles, keeping the non-follow linger heal for now)
(dev note: talismans are a big balancing problem, fury and empowered both will remain so in their current state as they offer a % DPS : Mana Cost relationship, which doesn't really fit in with a larger-progression-oriented balancing approach. Invisibility has been overstaying its welcome since long before group invis, and the damage output gain on top was disproportionate to their resource costs. While this is still iterative, it will hopefully bring competition back down to a place where assassins/wyrms will still take 1st places if they deserve to-- but are not handed them nearly by default.)
Platinum Cocoon Projectiles are now anchored... and something else... look into it.
Memory of Flesh has received a consistency pass. Phase deciding mechanics should be more intuitive and learnable, but the dungeon will also be a bit more technically difficult in return (e.g. tighter gap between slash projectiles)
Daily Attainments are now auto-claimed! No more forgetting your free gold.
Remade Alerts UI
Text rendering now supports super sampling, so smaller texts should be more readable
Players affected by Hide Players no longer show Particle/Skin/Hat Effects
Optimized Particle Effects
Optimized Culling Algorithm
Contribution Loot Display Opacity Reduced (0.6 -> 0.3)
Updated Alien Outpost's 'Signal Received' Song Mix
Greatly Improved Accuracy of Aim Assist against faster targets
Buffs applied by procs no longer maintain when switching worlds
Prescient Affix no longer has a -damage modifier
Fixes
Auto Hide Players in Combat Mode now respects Players Within Distance
Auto Hide Objects in Combat Mode now respects Objects Within Distance
Fixed clicking buttons in game chat when unfocused on Mobile
Fixed clicking buttons that are outside the GameChatView
Fixed the '/' character sometimes appearing in front of commands
Fixed how text is rendered on Android Fixed tooltip crashes on Android
Fixed tooltips eating Movement Input on Mobile
Fixed rerolling text showing HTML text in discount
Fixed Torus AOEs not rendering properly in OpenGL
Mobile purchases that error mid purchase now self-heal
More... This was a long update cycle and to be honest we got too deep for me to get everything.
LOOT/SILVER/EXP BOOST EVENT
So we made this system that lets us do timed boosts... Gotta test it somehow... Enjoy 1.25x Silver/Exp/Loot for the next week, in addition to your Totem modifiers. Make us regret it!
See you in the Dominion,

Highlights
Chat 2.0:
Changed font rendering throughout the entire engine
Changed the main game font too!
Persistent scrollable messages, draggable window, manual resizing and automatic word wrapping
( steam does not like the gifs we made, there were so many more and prettier gifs :( )
Quick Emote Selection and Emote Panel for GameChat
Emotes are also supported in above player chat
Text Fields now support more functionalities (Highlight, Copy/Paste, etc)
(you're only getting the <5mb gifs.... we're sorry... they were very pretty. i'd be here all night compressing otherwise)
Memory of Flesh
The newest highest difficultiest piece of content awaits you at the end of Ancient Ruins... You will die, I hope! Sorry. But if you don't at least a couple times, I probably didnt make it hard enough :D
The potential rewards will be worthwhile... If you're an axe class... Or anyone that wears rings.
Market Board History, Trends, and Affix Filtering
See Price History for any item you're looking to buy:
Or when you're selling!
and Filter Affixes!
Daily Gold Increased!
All Daily Quests now give you 20 Gold and 500 spendable score, which means you can get 60 gold and gain enough score for 3 trial keys every day!
Additions
New Auto-hiding modes for better visibility.
Enemy Fade Below: Hide Enemies below your character on the screen, no more detriment in projectile visibility because you had to rotate around them!
Hide Players Near Enemy Shots: Does what it sounds like :)
(We've Removed the Combat-Default settings, and condensed the Radius/Combat hiding modes into a single cycle-able option. By default, Radius based hiding for Enemies/Tiles will occur.)
(typ/hhm note: If you've noticed a big up-tick in focus for these visibility-oriented settings, its because I am a big fan of having players globally visible, but hate needing a global toggle for competitive gameplay. Here I'm iterating on the tech needed to both have the social/pretty visuals, without sacrificing performance)
New "Locked Only" Toggle for Show Ally Projectiles
All (non-memory) Dungeons now have Trial Keys available! You can find them for 500 score in the new Trials shop. Practice those Voids/Crypts without losing your characters!
No-Hit Titles have returned! And they're available in Natural Dungeons again. You'll have to be solo either way for every dungeon now though, since trial keys are available for instances that are harder to find solos for. You also won't be warned if you've failed a no-hit in a Natural Dungeon.
Added a new Shop for Trial Keys, visit the Trials Leaderboard NPC to buy them!
Changes
Targeted Abilities Range have been increased from 8 -> 10, but they are now affected by Line of Sight. You'll have to see where you're aiming to throw it! (only affects null tiles and 3D walls.)
Lots of Relic Pieces that didn't give 100% Reroll discounts now do. Outback Relic pieces grant 75% Rerolls because of their availability.
Many tooltips throughout the game now have a Frosted Blur behind them
Made Minimap less obstructive
Game Announcements are now displayed in a Banner (persist through reconnect as well)
If you get disconnected or the servers turn off, the client will now try to reconnect automatically instead of needing to restart the game.
Removed most Squishing / all Dying related daily attainments
Increased Projectile Size of Headwind Hailer's Proc (1 -> 2)
Memory Dungeons now only cost to Chain what they costed to open.
Requirements for most Ruby Attainments were greatly reduced. Good luck grinders!
Fixes
Fix stick-aimed abilities firing backward under camera rotation on controller
Greatly increased performance for other players on-screen
Fixed a Spawn in The Void not disappearing
Fixed Cooldown Line Indentation on Procs
Presumptive fix for Controller Inventory Navigation on Mobile
Some Backend RNG fixes related to Relic Drops and other drops effected by proxy
LOTS of backend / networking fixes. Hopefully a lot of rollback opportunities are gone :D
Fixed Prestige name glow not showing on locked/guild-matey players.

Added a new dungeon-spawning system: Memories.
Memories will be solo dungeons made as extensions to existing content, either boss fights or short encounters with their own driving gimmick and a time limit. They wont come with all the bells and whistles of other dungeons, but they will provide more accessible avenues for us to stack onto the available content of the game-- especially in the "advanced" difficulty which is meant to be numerically oppressive to the current limits of progression. They will generally have secret easter-eggy entry methods, so that newer players don't come upon them by accident.
New Memory Dungeon: Memory of Honey (High-Experienced difficulty).
This one won't be too much of a secret for you, since you're taking the time to read this :) Teleport back to the Waystone after completion of The Honey Hive. The Statue at the center of the room will have new dialogue for you... Good Luck!
Other Addition(s)
Added Steam Rich Presence
Changes
Reduced Max Range for Targeted Abilities to 7
(Developer Note: Iterating on balancing of targeted abilities as we both try to balance between platforms and implement more game systems that can make use of them. 7 tiles won't feel very good for apothecary mortars, apologize for that, but next weeks patch will feature a more dynamic iteration where the implementation should be less hindering)
Reduced Experienced+ Dungeon Chain Cap to 1
Reduced Intermediate- Dungeon Chain Cap to 2
(Developer Note: Dungeon chains were going on a bit too long, offering too-frictionless and consistent entry to the dungeon crawling part of the game. The system overall feels good for keeping you doing the stuff you want, farming the gear you want in the group size you want, but there needs to be a bit more to break up the gameplay loop than 3 shrines in a row)
Increased Player Light brightness slightly
Decreased Ambient Lighting Level of some areas slightly
(Developer Note: It seems the Player Light will allow us to explore some darker areas without compromising the gameplay experience, let us know if anything is too dark... just make sure your brightness is up first)
Fixes
Fixed Steam Achievements not being rewarded for some people
Fixed the Game Window being clickable even when tabbed out
Presumptive Fixes for some long standing issues transferring guilds
Presumptive Fix for a rollback that would happen when disconnecting during world transfer

Increased Duration (8min → 10min) of Stat Dusts
(Developer Note: Stat Dusts have always been more of a tedious upkeep that felt like a necessity to maintain state-of-play, being more friction than they're worth outside of min/max potential. Testing these changes out to see if it's a more forgiving approach while still maintaining their value as min/max sauce for players with excess gems to sustain it.)
Increased Max HP Threshold (20% → 33%) for Pendant of Abraxas Proc
Increased Cooldown (30s → 45s) of Pendant of Abraxas Proc
Reduced Cooldown (14s → 8s) of Happily Ever After Proc
Reduced AoE Delay (4s → 0.4s) of Happily Ever After Proc
Added Armor Piercing (42%) to Doobius Blazius
Removed Proximity Name Hide from Mobile, didn't end up being needed for performance.
Fixes
Fixed a handful of Mobile / PC Controller related bugs
Presumptive fix for a couple crashes
Fixed DroppedFor not updating names on duplicate item tooltips
Fixed mouse still inputting when another tab is over the game window
Fixed Rampant Bishop not switching textures after fight begins
Known Issues
Controller Inventory Navigation on iOS/Android is broken :(
Surely some other stuff!

Changes

Decreased the price (75,000 → 50,000) of the Stopwatch in Semreh's Wares shop.

Ruby Shield
We're excited to finally release Ruby Shield! Kyle/darzuh spent a lot of time adding all of these new features and we all hope you enjoy the ruby shield, pets 2.0, and all the other changes! Shoutout Typ for his performance changes as well.
Immediate note: Ruby Shield attainments are meant to be difficult. Starting in Season 3, we plan to balance them around roughly four weeks to complete. Some attainments may feel easy for some players and nearly impossible for others, and that is intentional.
Season 1 will only last a few days so we can make sure everything runs smoothly. Season 2 will start immediately on May 1.
Ruby Shield Details
Any player, regardless of shield rank, can progress Ruby attainments. However, you must be Purple Shield (max claims) to unlock Ruby shield visuals (shield display) and prestige visuals.
Completing any available season's Ruby attainments unlocks your Ruby shield display.
Completing all of a season's Ruby attainments increases your prestige counter by +1. This adds +1 on your player tooltip, gives your name a red outline under your character, and adds a red glow. In a future update, you'll be able to toggle the red glow for fashion.
Seasons last 4 weeks. The remaining days in the month are a cooldown period to prepare for the next season.
During summer months, we'll run a Summer Catch-up. This will feel a bit rough at first because we'll have about 1.5 seasons before going directly into the Summer Catch-up cycle. This is necessary long-term once players have many seasons of attainments to catch up on.
Progress on previous seasons' attainments is saved and can be continued during Summer Catch-up.
Under the Leaderboards object next to Semreh, you can compete to be the first person to unlock Ruby, the first to prestige each season, and the highest overall prestige.
Have questions? Use the info (i) buttons in the Ruby Attainments category. You can also click the Shield Rank info (i) button on any Attainments page for your current status and details.
Pets 2.0
In Pets 1.0, Lurkey Turkey was the dominant pet for years. Most players felt there was no reason to use anything else because it had the best stat split and was universally recommended.
Pets 2.0 is designed to fix that and let you use any pet you want. The idea was simple: take all existing stats, convert them into affixes, place them on tokens, and have those tokens drop from level-appropriate content. We expect tokens to become a strong long-term trading staple. Tokens are also purchasable in shops for gold.
We also considered that higher-level pets previously had 3 stats. Going forward, you'll be able to purchase the 3rd slot per character with gold. To introduce everyone to the system, we've granted 4 free slot tokens. Future events will also include free slot tokens.
We've also added more affix types beyond the original 8 stat splits. Check them out in Mary's Shop, or by selecting the token slot while editing your pet in Character Customization (or at Mary's Pet Station).
Old Pet Stat Conversions
Old pets had stats attached to them. To not simply wipe out your purchases, upon login you'll be granted 1:1 stat to pet tokens for all unique pets you have. If you have more than 1 pet of the same type (e.g. Null Entity), you'll only be granted 1 set of pet tokens. The pet tokens you receive from this script will also be generator or single-use depending on the pet.
Pet Token Drops
There are 3 tiers of pet tokens: Basic, Enhanced, and Powerful. Powerful Pet Tokens will be released later. For now, Basic and Enhanced can be found by killing any boss (excluding minis) at their respective difficulty levels:
Basic Pet Token: Intermediate/Experienced bosses
Enhanced Pet Token: Advanced/Experienced bosses
Mary's Pet Yard
To the right of the Tavern Keeper, you'll find a brand-new Pet Yard. In the Pet Yard, you can display up to 50 of your own pets.
Mary's Pet Station
Mary's Pet Station gives you a place to feature your pet, view all basic pet token affixes in the shop, and customize your pet just like you can in Character Customization.
Feature Pet
For 25 gold, you can feature any pet in your yard for everyone to see for 12 hours. We wanted this to be a fun way to show off rare pets. Up to 10 players can feature pets at the same time.
Account Customization
Our planned Account Customization features are nearly complete.
You can access Account Customization by clicking the small spirit-head button in your UI. You can now see your account ID, account creation date, and recorded death count.
You can also now customize your containers, gravestones, and shields. More details below.
Character Customization
Similar to Account Customization, you can now customize your character by clicking the purple mage-head icon in your UI. This is a much faster way to customize both your character and pet.
It supports purchasing all cosmetic types, previewing them, and viewing your character ID, total experience, and birth/creation time.
Character Cosmetics
Customize your character from one screen with a full preview. Change particles, skins, textiles, title, pet, hats, front hats, and back hats.
Pet Customization
You can access your pet and all pet affix slots directly from here.
Custom Gravestones
Want to look extra special when you die? You now can.
You can purchase gravestone packs directly in the UI and set them however you like. Future updates will include free-to-play and event-specific gravestones for players who cannot support us financially.
For more details, check the info (i) button on the Graves page in the Account Customization menu.
Custom Shields + Display Shield
Stand out in chat and in-world with custom shields.
You can purchase Display Shield to show any unlocked shield visual. Shield visuals now appear anywhere other players can see your shield: character tooltip, chat, and under your character.
Want to use a Gold Shield look even if you're not currently Gold Shield? Go for it.
Read more in the info (i) button on the Shields page in Account Customization.
Custom Containers
Last for this round of account customization: custom containers.
Set container visuals by type and make your loot screenshots stand out. Item tooltips also update to match your selected container visuals.
For all OG white bag fans who want to support us, the OG white bag is now available in the Other category at the bottom of the Containers page.
April Fools... Kinda
We're a little late. But who says April Fools' Day has to be on April 1?
From now until May 1, enjoy the following:
Dark Asura in Shrine of Devas drops his dagger in 2016 sprite form.
Gradvale in Frost Cavern drops his heavy armor in 2016 sprite form.
These items drop in addition to their regular versions, at the same drop rate.
Semreh's Seeded Runs
For a limited time, you can pay 100 spendable score in the Tavern to run a speedrun.
Compete for rewards on the Trials Leaderboard and complete 2 related event attainments for consultation rewards (for everyone who didn’t make leaderboard... or did they?). This mini-event ends at the same time as the April Fools' drops do.
Rewards are shown via the info button for each leaderboard position. Rewards are granted 1 day after the event ends. Permanent indicates how long rewards last.
Other Changes
Fixes
Fixed a MonoGame-related catch-up spiral in frame pacing.
Fixed render page sizing being dependent on resolution scaling.

Ho ho ho! It's the most wonderful time of the year… eventually. A lot of real-life stuff came up for the team toward the end of the year, which pushed back a few release dates. Have no fear though. Granta's holiday cheer knows no time limit. It's still winter after all.
With that in mind, we're officially dubbing Night of Krampus our new winter event, rather than tying it to a specific holiday.
Event Details
Start: 1/11/2026 PST
End: 2/1/2026 at 5:00 PM PST
Holiday Cheer
We may have gone a little overboard this year. There's a lot of free loot up for grabs. Be sure to complete all event attainments for some seriously generous rewards.
Across the event, you'll find:

6 new equipment items
20+ new cosmetics
Event-specific crafting materials
And more, good luck!
Check Discord for spoilers as players start uncovering everything.
Present Opening
The Tavern inhabitants are feeling especially generous this season. On the hour, every hour, gather around the Darzamas Tree to open presents and claim free loot. No strings attached.
Dominion Presents
Before Granta was kidnapped, he managed to eject presents across the Dominion. Tear them open for rewards and progress toward your holiday attainments.
Holiday Reaper
The Reaper is feeling a little less hostile this winter and can be spotted in festive attire. Go ahead and take him down for a chance at a special reward.
Bosses
Every type of boss in the game will now drop holiday cheer! From minor and major event bosses, to minibosses, and dungeon bosses in intermediate+ difficulties, they'll all drop holiday cheer!
Semreh's Attainment
This post covers only the event portion of the update. Be sure to check out the separate post for details on Semreh's Attainment.
Attainments 2.0 is live and includes:

Claim All button
Trials
Shop
Tracker
New attainment types and systems
There's a lot here, and this is just the start.

Semreh's Attainment

Two years ago, we introduced Semreh and Attainments to the game. How fitting that we’re releasing Attainments 2.0 on its anniversary. This update includes everything from the original vision: Claim All, Trials, Shop, Tracker, and a bunch of new methods.
Claim All
Claim All is finally here. A few hundred of you have been clamoring for this feature, and we’re finally delivering. Go to the Attainments menu and click the "Claim All" button to be taken to the Claim All screen. From there, it’s as easy as pressing "Claim All".
Players with a lot of rewards don’t need to worry about their gift chests exploding. We fixed that issue quite a while ago. In addition, a new vault experience will be releasing in the hopefully near future that will let you see most, if not all, of your rewards in a unified way.
A quick look at some top players showed a few have a whopping 500,000+ score to claim, which will yield them over 2,000 items.
Semreh's Trials
Semreh is ready to shake things up with speedruns and no-hits. For an undetermined amount of time, Trials keys will be free in Semreh’s shop. Each group of 3 keys will likely last a week so players have time to compete. We’re doing this to stress test the system and see who can post the best times for future Attainment timings.
This may come as a shock to some, so we want to be very clear. No-hits were always meant to be locked behind some sort of key purchased with spendable score. They were never meant to be open to natural dungeons. This is evident with The Void and Hazy Grove not requiring you to be alone, despite all other dungeons requiring it.
From the start, the way we looked at Trials was this: get experience playing the game and running dungeons, then use that experience in Trials to speedrun and no-hit.
We’ll be taking a long look at the data and will adjust the price of keys based on what we see. Daily Attainments may also receive a boost to their spendable score rewards.
Semreh's Trials Modifiers
A lot of thought went into the mechanics of Trials, and we landed on the following modifiers. To ensure you focus solely on the task of the Attainment, Trials apply these rules:

No death
Lava will now disqualify you from the no-hit
Speedruns require a Stopwatch in your inventory and start the moment you move your character
No use of consumables
No use of dusts or other stat increasers
No loot
No EXP
No essence gain or discovery
No dungeon chests
No attainment progress besides Trials-category attainments
Select Title Removal
The Void and Hazy Grove titles will be removed from accounts that have received them. Unfortunately, The Void title was given to several people through accidental means. In addition, both were awarded to players who did not complete a true attainment.
All no-hits require doing the dungeon solo. We didn’t have the tech when Attainments were introduced to enforce this, but now we do. Go earn the titles again, and solo.
Trials Leaderboard
The Trials leaderboard is pretty self-explanatory. Rankings are broken into dungeons, platforms, and time periods. A neat detail: the character shown on the leaderboard is the character the player completed it on.
We’ll see about adding special rewards and/or cosmetics for players who get #1–#3 on the leaderboard, but that will come in a later update.
We’re also tracking a bunch of other information in the background that will be exposed via future Dispatch releases and leaderboard additions. We don’t care that you took 10 hours and used an Apothecary to finish the no-hit, but we’ll probably poke fun at you in a future Dispatch release.
Beta Trials
For an undetermined amount of time, we’ll be running a beta for Trials. Buy a Stopwatch and as many keys (they’re free) as you want, and let’s see who can clear the 3 dungeons the fastest. The prizes below are subject to change. Prizes will be given to the top 3 players for each dungeon and platform.
Prizes
1st - 1 Dispatch token + 50k spendable score
2nd - 1 Dispatch token + 25k spendable score
3rd - 1 Dispatch token + 10k spendable score
Semreh's Wares
Semreh’s shop is finally here. Browse an ever-expanding selection of wares, from weirdly sparkly oddities to unique finds. Check back often. You never know what’s been found.
Prices are subject to change without warning. All purchases are non-refundable.
We’ll be monitoring the data and will adjust the prices of items based on what we see.
Attainment Tracker
You can now track the progress of up to 3 different Attainments. Double click an Attainment’s icon and it will automatically be tracked.
New Methods
Strewn throughout are new Attainments and rewards for you to earn. There are also a handful of Pillar Attainments. Pillar Attainments are used to get infinite score. Only a handful exist right now, with more coming soon.
Daily Attainments
We’ve had an issue since the release of Daily Attainments where they would reroll if we took the server down. Daily Attainments are now truly daily. Even when restarting the server, the day’s chosen Daily Attainments will persist.
We’ve added a bunch of new methods to Daily Attainments. Bear with us as we get the numbers correct, especially with the addition of an additional reward.
Daily Attainments now also give spendable score. This spendable score will be used exclusively for Semreh’s Wares and will not contribute to total score or the leaderboard.
Future Additions
We already have plans for more Attainment-related content in the future. This is just the beginning. You can expect:

Party and Guild Trials
Weekly seeded trial runs that will be free to the players
More attainment methods
Rewards for top players on leaderboards

Hallowed and Bones are making their debut in the Dominion! We won't spoil too much, but we're thrilled to see how everyone fares against them. Can you find out where they're hiding?
Pumpkin Lord
A familiar yet fiercer ruler of the Dominion has returned to The Void, angrier than ever and ready to wreak havoc.
Trick-or-Treating
Join us in the Tavern every real-life hour for a festive trick-or-treating activity! Collect candy, consumables, essence, and more! Keep an eye out for in-game announcements every hour indicating the start, and follow the shop vendors as they call out the next location!
Dominion Ghost Hunt
Spooky times await! The Dominion is overrun with ghosts, and a global counter will track progress toward spawning the miniboss Ghasty. Team up with fellow adventurers to take down 66 Ghostys and earn a chance to fight Ghasty! After the event, Ghosty and Ghasty will linger in the new player biomes as Oyun and Astake work on banishing them.
Event Tiered Items
We've introduced a new tier: the Event tier. These items will have drop rates between Unique and Special items. We want everyone to have a chance to obtain Event tier items while keeping them rare enough to encourage trading. We're excited to launch 4 of them during The Hallowed Hunt! To make their drops feel extra special, we're also introducing new chests for each event. Old event items will get updated tiers and bag types in the future.
Quest Attainments + Essence Shop
We've heard your event feedback loud and clear! This event will feature easier quests to help you earn every reward at least once. For those who want to grind, Hallowed Essence will drop from every boss throughout the event!
We're also introducing a new Attainment type: The Hallowed Hunt attainment requires you to complete all other event-specific attainments to earn the final rewards—an exclusive “I Survived The Hallowed Hunt” title and three of Typ's Brain roll tokens!
Event Essence Slot
In response to player feedback, we've added an event-specific essence slot! After discovering an event essence, it will automatically be equipped in an event slot. We hope this addresses player's concerns of having to drop stacks of work-in-progress essences!
Halloween-Specific Affixes
The special event tier items will drop with halloween-specific affixes! These will be rollable only during the event and will be removed from the pool afterward. However, items with these affixes will retain them permanently. Look out for their return next Halloween!
Event Gold Shop
As with all events, we're offering limited-time gold shop items for our free-to-play players! Grab a spooky Gladiator skin, a pet version of the Pumpkin Lord, and a batty hat. They're available until The Hallowed Hunt ends, so don't miss out!
Spooky Package Return + New Graveyard and Witch Package
The Spooky Pack is back, and we're also introducing 2 brand packs, the Witch and Graveyard Package featuring amazing artwork by Jmn and Bee! Your support helps us continue this incredible journey together. Thanks a lot if you decide to buy them!
And More!
The event is packed with other goodies that aren't listed here. Go check out the latest update, The Hallowed Hunt, live on all platforms now!
Notable General Changes

Fixed bags spawning on unwalkable tiles. Now, when a bag spawns, it will check for unwalkable tiles and adjust its position to avoid spawning on them.

Fixed projectiles sometimes becoming invisible and killing you. Let us know if you still encounter this.
Added new teleport tech to ignore invisible players and teleport to the next closest person. Please let us know if you encounter any issues.
Added new teleport tech to teleport to players who are closest to the boss. This will hopefully stop you from getting teleported to players who are 200 tiles away. Please let us know if you encounter any issues.
Added titles underneath character names. We'll revert this change if it adds to much clutter.
General Changes

Fixed affix icons updating before the reroll animation finished, leaking your new affix.

Added a new Notification overlay to packages, settings, and attainments. This will allow us to alert you if we add new packages, settings, or if you have unclaimed attainments!
Added back The Hallowed Hunt event with more new items than ever before!
Fixed various ways the backpack UI could glitch with the main inventory UI
Added functionality to reset event essences. Event essences will now be reset before the same event starts again. Be sure to spend all of your essence before then!

Added a more descriptive message when buying shop items instead of it just saying "Success"

Added pets to your top 10 deaths in The Beyond. Your poor pets will now rest in peace next to you.
Added pets to the top deaths in the Tavern.
Added auto-announcing ✨ chest/crate pets to help new players who are nice enough to purchase them. Please let them know what they got! A lot of players have been confused.

It will read your inventory from the top to the bottom and select the 1st item that can be equipped in that slot to use as the swapout.
Fixed issue where walls on mobile were not being rendered correctly and white.
Added a new Customize Button Positions screen to mobile UI. This will allow you to move and resize all of the buttons to your liking. This has been one of the most requested features for a long time and we are super excited to see what you all come up with!
Added tooltips to items on the mobile Market Board. This has been a long-requested feature and we are happy to finally have it implemented!
Added the ability to consume gems directly from the bag. Long hold the gem to do so. This will also send the gem to your gem storage if you are already maxed.

Surviving a (regrettably) long stretch of development hell, the long-awaited continuation of the Valkyrie series is here!
Hall Twinstar has arrived, accessible via completing Butterfly Woods, and inside this update you'll find 8 brand new untiered items, several new crafting materials to hunt, and a handful of balance changes alongside the new dungeon. These include boosted Special drop rates from non-boss types and stronger barrier potions, as well as a bunch of other changes.
With music synced directly to the battle, Hall Twinstar is aimed to be more of a pattern to be learned and mastered. With less random dodging, there are only four different offset patterns you can learn optionally. Otherwise, reaction time and memory is enough to carry you through it after several attempts.
This dungeon is set within the upper bracket of our 'Experienced' difficulty tier, so I hope you stocked up on your speed dusts. You're going to need them.
Good luck, and enjoy your loot and oofs. Here's to the future next section of the valkyrie temples!
P.S.
If you don't have music enabled, I'll oof you myself
