Hey Land Drifters!
A new combat tool is here!
The prismatic gem!
This is meant to be an activity for those later in the game, as the recipe drops at the very end.
This item works differently than other items in that you can upgrade it at the altar more than twice. Each upgrade increases the essence cost by 100, starting at 100. People with a high total essence can get even more value out of it. The ingredients will require 1 of each top gem in the transmute section.
With it, comes a new Steam Achievement. Creating this will unlock it.
You will also notice runes and gems also have some effects on them as well, although subtle so it's not too distracting.
Build 0.6.5
New recipe added to the last boss with a new combat tool, the prismatic gem. Altar upgrade works differently with this item, increasing by 100 each upgrade indefinitely.
New steam achievement added for transmuting the prismatic gem.
Shader support added for items, runes now glow, gems can occasionally sparkle, prismatic gem will shimmer.
Boatyard costs 10 gold coins now.
Fixed issue with incorrect exp gained when crafting an item with multiple ingredients.
Fixed an issue where damage potentially could be dealt from a miss or from steel abs despite it being a miss

Build 0.6.4
Fixed issue with tree giving crystals.
Build 0.6.3
Fixed a bug with bonemeal before the crystal tree was unlocked
Crystal trees locked or before 1 day old reward 0.5 crystals. Clicking the crystal tree after 1 day old will award 0.5 if there is a decimal to make the number look nicer.
Fixed a floating point error for equipment where stuff like 1 might show up as 0.999999
Target active skill now properly is disabled with silenced or cursed
Pyramid boundary fixed
Silver/gold/platinum veins now have exp lowered so mining exp stays relatively similar to woodcutting/fishing. Goldfish/etc buffed to match these veins.

Welcome Land Drifters!
This update brings a few new features!
Crystal Tree
Check your castle because you can now grow your tree that increases your idle crystal amount you gain.
With time, it will grow larger and produce more crystals for you. You can also use the bonemeal from your inventory which will affect this tree as well!
This replaces the +1 crystal you would normally average each hour and can grow to larger numbers with your tree.
Boat Upgrade
On the third island you'll find a boat under construction. This is fairly pricey but should give you something to strive for which will massively increase the speed of your boat and will look nicer.
Essence Shard & Crystals
You can now convert essence into shards or crystals. This is useful for when you do not have anything to spend your essence on at the moment but want to make use out of it for later. It costs 150 to make a shard and restores 100 back. The crystal costs 650 to make and restores 500 back.
Build 0.6.2
Fixed an issue with offline combat.
Build 0.6.1
The castle now has a crystal tree which affects idle crystals. Over time or with bonemeal the tree will grow stronger.
You can now upgrade your boat on the third island which increases the speed.
Altar now has the ability to buy essence shards and crystals to restore a some of that essence later.
Fixed gathering storage T3/T4 upgrades for mining/fishing/woodcutting
Area 8 had proper leatherworking building art updated.

Combat Resist Exp Boost

This update was targeted toward resist exp as it slows down in later levels.
It wasn't gaining combat exp bonuses because those first few levels could be trivialized, but once your level is high enough, it can still be fun to see numbers go up and make stuff like fear or nausea less problematic.
It now benefits from your combat exp bonus, but it scales with your resist level up until 50 where it reaches the full amount of the bonus.
Your combat exp bonus is actually pretty substantial as it is all multiplicative with each other. Not to mention how your total class levels and total kills increase indefinitely. This means some people might see numbers even higher than 500% more resist experience.
To make it more obvious, your combat exp bonus now shows up in your combat stats.
Plus some other changes and bugfixes that can be seen below.
Build 0.5.10
Combat exp bonuses (Soul Dagger/rift talent/etc) will now benefit resist exp, however, this bonus scales with your resist level, reaching the full amount at level 50 to ensure earlier levels aren't too fast when introducing new resists.
Combat exp percent now shows up in combat stats (It's multiplicative with rift talents / soul dagger / gear).
If you kill an enemy too quickly, sometimes you could miss resist exp as it ticks every 2 seconds. It will now award you exp on kill if the enemy died too fast.
Crafting locks now show level requirements for everything on mouse hover
Medium bowls are now tagged T2 and large bowls T3.
Mouse hover description delay reverted to zero.
Fixed a bug with offline combat where the kill count tracked data only added toward the initial enemy.

This update brings some quality of life features!

Hello Land Drifters
This update brings three new items
There's two new quests at the quest board to incentivize you to push forward with the rift.
Additionally, there is now a combat crystal tool found in the market place.
There was also a push to try and optimize the game like so when it runs for days that it doesn't get bogged down too much, or other areas that can be generally be more resource heavy that include the world map, gathering, and combat. I'll continue monitoring it and see how it goes or if there are other improvements.
There was also some minor bugfixes.

Two new quests added to the quest board with their own item rewards.
