Dear Traveller,
It’s been a while since one of these community updates were posted. Since last time, the team has been busy with ironing out bugs (as usual) but also with getting our first Skill and Achievement Packs ready for you. We’re pleased to announce that they will be released today! As you are aware, we refer to our Early Access period as “Chapter Zero”, and as such we like to call these content drops “Pages”. This is the next Page.
Let’s talk skills first. There are six of them in today’s content drop, two of which were designed by backers of our Kickstarter campaign! Being able to invite our audience to directly participate in molding Book of Travels with us is one of the wonderful benefits of having done that campaign, and we’re very happy with how that collaboration has taken shape so far.
So without further ado, here are the new skills that your Traveller will be able to learn from now on:
Glitterfall
Wind: South
Type: Knot
This spell sets the air alight with a glamorous waterfall of sparkles. Credit goes to Ashley Corkill for coming up with this spell.
Summon Spirit Familiar
Wind: West
Type: Knot
This spell summons a travel companion from the spirit world to the binder’s side. Credit goes to Dennis, Savinien and Kaz Floyd for coming up with this spell.
Keen Eye
Wind: East
Type: Passive
Your sharp eyesight allows you to highlight collectibles around you more often.
Knot of the Infamous
Wind: West
Type: Knot
This spell permanently changes the knot binder’s eye colour to a random hue.
Rain Ward
Wind: East
Type: Passive
The natural power of rain resonates strongly with you, strengthening your resolve and raising your Ward as a result.
Knotbinder’s Fervour
Wind: North
Type: Passive
The mystical energies that surround you sometimes makes your knot spells take effect instantly.
Now, how you actually acquire these skills for your Traveller is going to remain a mystery. And you wouldn’t have it any other way, surely? We are going to say that these skills will be in the possession of certain inhabitants of Braided Shore, and we do encourage you to share your findings with your fellow Travellers on popular meeting grounds such as the Steam forums or our Discord server.
How fast will you be able to claim them all?
Achievements to mark your accomplishments
Like already stated, the Skill Pack isn’t the only thing to get added to Book of Travels today. We also have the first Achievement Pack. Below you will find a list of the ones that the game gets right now. We won’t tell you how to achieve them though! There will be more to come as we continue fleshing things out during the Early Access period.
Note: Unfortunately, these won’t be unlocked retroactively if you already have fulfilled the requirements. They will need to be earned from scratch.

Lastly, I would once again like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support. We believe in the vision of this game, and it’s incredibly gratifying to see so many of you doing the same. Needless to say, this batch of content is the tip of the iceberg of what we’re planning for Book of Travels and its future. Have fun with these new additions in the meantime, and we’ll talk again soon.
Best wishes,
Oliver & the team at Might and Delight
