Hey everyone,
We have prepared a new content update that expands crafting and combat mechanics with the introduction of new Apothecary and Alchemist tools, along with a variety of new craftable items and rare resources to discover throughout the world.
The Apothecary has received two new tools:
Apothecary Table – Used to craft and refill potions.
Toxicology Kit – Required for creating poisons.
Potions provide powerful short-term bonuses and come with multiple charges, allowing them to be reused and refilled at appropriate workstations instead of being consumed permanently. Different potion types can support various playstyles, offering temporary boosts during exploration and combat.
Poisons can be applied to melee weapons, increasing damage, accelerating effect buildup, and inflicting additional debuffs on affected enemies. This adds new options for close combat and allows for more specialized preparation before battles.
The Alchemist now has access to the Alchemy Bench, which can be used to craft various powders. Powders are designed for ranged weapons such as pistols and rifles, enhancing shots with additional damage and other combat bonuses.
To craft these new items, you will need to locate a range of unique resources, including Herbs for potions, Toxins for poisons, and Minerals for powders. These resources are very rare and can only be found in specific regions and environments.
Build 0.4.2.0
Added Apothecary tools:
Apothecary Table
Toxicology Kit

Added craftable potions:
Brawler's Potion
Steadfast Potion

Hello everyone!
We have prepared a multiplayer update focused on improving progression in co-op, along with a range of important fixes and adjustments.
Quest Objectives
To make quest progression more consistent and intuitive in multiplayer, certain objectives now have clearly defined types:
🤝Shared objectives can be completed by any player and will automatically update for everyone on the server. Once completed, the objective is marked as finished for all players. These are typically used for tasks such as resource gathering and building, where individual contribution should benefit the entire group.
🌍World State objectives are tied to changes that permanently affect the game world and must be completed by the host. These include settlement progression and objectives that involve player choices. While clients can interact with these objectives, they will not trigger decision outcomes or apply world changes unless completed by the host.
Items
All unique items now spawn separately for each player in co-op sessions. This applies to treasure maps, gifts, and artifacts found both in the open world and inside dungeons. Loot from defeated enemies is also generated individually for each player, ensuring that everyone receives their own rewards.
Waystones
Waystone progression is now shared across multiplayer sessions. When joining a game, clients will automatically unlock all waystones already discovered by the host, allowing for immediate fast travel access. In addition, any waystone activated by a player during the session becomes available to all players, ensuring consistent progression for all players.
Build 0.4.1.2
Shared quest objectives now have a dedicated icon in the UI and can be completed by any player in co-op.
Quest objectives that permanently change the world state or involve player choices are now marked in the UI and should be completed by the host.
Unique items, such as gifts and treasure maps, are now spawned separately for the host and each client.
Fixed an issue where some tutorial and side quests were not granted to clients in multiplayer if they had already been completed by the host.
Fixed an issue where the gates to the Training Camp might not open for clients after completing the corresponding story quest.
Fixed an issue where random enemy encounters could spawn incorrectly for clients.
Fixed an issue where Combat Training quest stages might not trigger correctly for clients in certain cases.
Fixed an issue where main quest cutscenes could be incorrectly triggered for clients in multiplayer.
Fixed an issue where placing a build part would not complete certain quest objectives for clients.
Fixed an issue where resources could sometimes fail to be collected by clients.
Fixed an issue where some building previews could display visual effects incorrectly for clients.
Fixed an issue where setting a password for a saved game world might not work.
Fixed an issue where saved character or world folders without valid save files could still appear when starting the game.
Fixed an issue where climbing might not function correctly for clients in multiplayer.
Fixed an issue where NPCs in the destroyed village could be displayed incorrectly for clients.
Fixed an issue where unlocked Waystones were not available to clients upon joining the game.
Fixed an issue where activating a Waystone in multiplayer did not make it available to other players.
Fixed an issue where faction events could trigger before completing the New Beginnings main quest.
Fixed an issue where dungeon treasure rooms could spawn incorrectly for clients.
Fixed an issue where containers in some places of interest could spawn incorrectly for clients.
Fixed an issue where resources from mining carts could be collected multiple times by both host and clients.
Fixed an issue where mining cart positions in dungeons could be inconsistent for clients, causing movement obstacles.
Fixed an issue where a weapon could be displayed on the host character after a client joined, even if the character was unarmed.
Fixed an issue where dirt and blood effects on characters were not visible to other players in multiplayer.
Fixed an issue where clouds could flicker for clients when joining a world with the 2D dynamic clouds setting enabled.
Fixed an issue where snow footstep visual effects were visible inside dungeons during winter.
Fixed an issue where landscape displacement visual effects might not work for clients.
Fixed an issue where snow and rain effects were not visible on other player characters in multiplayer.

Hi everyone,
We have prepared a content update that introduces a new weapon skill tree for elemental staves. It features a variety of combo attacks, powerful AoE spells, and defensive buffs. The staff skill tree can be unlocked at any point in the game by defeating enemies using staves.
Previously, staves were the only weapon type without a dedicated skill tree, so this update is aimed at expanding gameplay options for magic users and bringing them in line with other weapon types.
The skill tree includes the following abilities:
Echoing Strike – Spells emit a resonant echo from the target, striking nearby enemies.
Phase Step – Increases movement speed after casting a spell.
Temporal Burst – Increases casting speed after using a staff attack.
Spellbind – Slows the target’s movement speed.
Essence Siphon – Steals Focus from the target when using a staff attack.
Arcane Ward – Casting spells also creates a barrier absorbing damage.
Elemental Scatter – Unleashes the spell bound to the staff multiple times in random directions around the caster.
Hexstorm – Strikes all nearby enemies with beams of pure energy.
Wild Surge – Creates a powerful energy explosion around the caster.
Astral Shift – Grants immunity to physical attacks after using Sidestep.
Ethereal Form – Provides damage reduction after using Evade.
Chronostasis – Surrounds the caster with an indestructible barrier, granting immunity to all damage and rapidly restoring health.
This update also includes the following bug fixes:
Fixed an issue where movement speed reduction effects were not applied correctly in some cases.
Fixed an issue where some weapon skill abilities would not activate when used from a quickslot while aiming.
Fixed an issue where ability levels could be incorrect when triggered from a quickslot.
Fixed an issue where assigning a spell to a quickslot that already contained an ability could fail.
Fixed an issue where visual effects from building parts could appear in placement previews.
We are continuing work on additional content updates, as well as a rework of the multiplayer system, which will be available soon.
Thank you for your support! We truly appreciate it.

Hello everyone!

Fixed an issue where appearance style buttons in the inventory menu could sometimes fail to function correctly.

Hi everyone,
We have released an update that adds Russian localization to the game. We apologize for the delay. The localization was done entirely by us, and due to the large volume of text, it required a significant amount of time and effort.
With the localization complete, we are now fully focused on gameplay fixes, improvements, and new content. Going forward, we plan to release patches containing various fixes and quality-of-life improvements. Below is a list of features and fixes currently in progress and coming very soon:
Reworked inventory sorting mechanics to prevent issues where items could disappear.
Improved tool automation so structures do not stop working after certain actions or when storage becomes full.
Various fixes to faction reputation and approval systems.
Bags will be treated as inventory extensions rather than containers, making them more convenient to use.
Updates to the grid-based building menu.
Fixed snow effects and accumulation.
Fixes for status effects that were not being removed correctly.
Fixes for an issue where map fog could reset in city areas.
We are also preparing a new content update that will introduce a weapon skill tree for elemental Staves. They will gain combos and special abilities, similar to other weapon types such as swords and polearms. It is intended to significantly improve gameplay for magic users by adding more variety and choices in combat.
Thank you for your feedback and patience! We truly appreciate your support.

Hello everyone!
This update fixes the camera stutter that could occur after dismounting from a horse, and resolves several issues that could block quest progression. We understand how significantly these problems impact the experience, so we prioritized addressing them as key fixes.
Update Details
Fixed an issue where dismounting from a horse could cause camera stuttering.
Fixed an issue where the dialogue option to give gathered meats to the Cook during the quest "A Dish Worth the Chase" might not appear.
Fixed an issue where the dialogue option to give gathered herbs to the Healer during the quest "Herbal Secrets" might not appear.
Fixed an issue where the dialogue option to report to the Quartermaster that the tower was repaired during the quest "The Watch Never Sleeps" might not appear.
Fixed an issue where using wells, water barrels, or the repair clothes option did not remove certain blood effects from clothing.
Fixed an issue where production tool efficiency tooltips might persist after loading the game.
Fixed an issue where the building radius preview might not disappear in certain cases.
Fixed an issue where Animal Lair places of interest did not display the interaction tooltip.
Fixed an issue where the Obstacle Course timer was not reset when using the Unstuck option.
Fixed an issue where the Obstacle Course could be started while riding a horse, causing movement errors.
Fixed an issue where tutorial tooltips were displayed after exiting the Obstacle Course before completion.
Fixed an issue where the horse might not become calm after all nearby enemies were defeated.
Fixed an issue where mounting a horse while in first-person view could cause the character's head to be invisible.
Attack animations can now be cancelled by using the Dodge or Sidestep ability. This feature can also be toggled on or off in the game settings.
Obstacle course time trial difficulty can now be adjusted.
Available difficulty options are Easy (1:50), Normal (1:40), and Hard (1:30).
A unique item reward and an achievement are granted for beating the record on any difficulty.
In future updates we plan to add non-gameplay affecting rewards for completing it on the hardest difficulty.
Animal Lairs now always provide Red Mushrooms when cleared.
Added triangular wooden floors.
Triangular floors can now be attached to short walls.
Increased the health of spider enemies in the Dead Grove zone.
Our Current Goals
Right now, our main focus is to improve and stabilize the existing experience as quickly as possible:
Quest-blocking issues. We have fixed several cases where quests could not progress properly, including the commander dialogue in Lost Home and missing dialogue options in A Dish Worth the Chase, Herbal Secret and The Watch Never Sleeps.
Ghosting visual issues. We are actively investigating the root causes of visual problems. If possible, please consider sharing your hardware information to help us further diagnose the issue.
Here are some settings that may help in the meantime:
Enabling DLSS (for Nvidia GPUs) usually helps mitigate the issue; FSR or XeSS can be used on other GPUs.
Switching to FXAA has also been reported by players to resolve the problem.
Options like “TAA Improved Algorithm” and “TAA Screen Percentage” in the Graphics menu can reduce ghosting at some performance cost.
Multiplayer experience. Due to its complexity and the number of systems involved, multiplayer is still under active investigation and testing. We greatly appreciate your patience.
Optimization and Future Plans
We will continue working on:
Bug fixing
Overall game optimization
Balance adjustments
Preparing localizations (Russian and Ukrainian), currently planned for release later in December.
Our goal is to make the game smoother and more stable, while also preparing for new content in future updates.
Thanks again for all your continued support and encouragement!

Hey everyone!
After years of development and multiple testing phases, we’re excited to announce that Ars Notoria will officially enter Early Access on November 27th at 10 AM (UTC)!
Build your base, gather resources, expand your influence, and stand against the ever-shifting threat of the Enthralled. Will you bring hope and unity, or watch the kingdom fall into fear and ruin? The fate of the realm lies in your hands.
What to Expect in Early Access
Explore an open world filled with forests, fields, dungeons, and more.
Learn six distinct schools of magic: Fire, Frost, Poison, Lightning, Chaos, and Holy. Each brings unique spells and playstyles.
Join the Holy Guard faction in the Training Camp, experience their storyline, build your own settlement, and lead your faction’s growth.
Construct and upgrade your base with a wide range of structures and materials. Automate daily tasks to keep your settlement thriving while you focus on exploration and combat.
Team up with friends in online co-op mode to explore the world of Ars Notoria together.
Improvements Based on Previous Testing Feedback
Thank you once again to everyone who participated in testing and shared feedback!
Localization
At launch, the game supports English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. We’ve worked hard to refine the text, though a few minor errors or awkward lines may still appear. If you spot any, please let us know so we can correct them quickly.
We’re also working on Russian and Ukrainian localizations, which are expected to be ready in December.
Combat & Classes
We’ve improved hit detection for ranged weapons and made class abilities feel more impactful. Additional visual effects and updated icons have also been added for better clarity in combat. Your feedback during Early Access will continue to play a key role in shaping these systems.
Faction Management
Faction progression has been expanded with new events and unique NPCs to recruit. As your relationships with them deepen, they’ll offer valuable bonuses that strengthen your settlement and its development.
Early-game Experience
We’ve made the early experience smoother: gathering tools are simpler to obtain and use, guidance is clearer, and the in-game guide is always available to help new players get started comfortably.
Online Co-op
We’ve fixed many of the issues reported during earlier tests. However, online functionality may still encounter technical challenges in some cases. We decided to keep co-op available during Early Access, as we know playing with friends is important to many of you. If you experience any issues, please let us know. Your feedback will be key to improving the online experience.
As a small independent studio, reaching this stage is a major milestone for us. We would like to share a few words with you.
