Patch 3.5.1 is now live on Steam!
Hardcore
We've added a new game mode, Hardcore, to character creation. We will eventually add Ironman (No Trading / Partying), and Hardcore Ironman
This is a simple version of Hardcore - you will have a helmet icon next to your name and a Hardcore status effect on your character if you have never died. You can still party up and play with friends
On death, you will revert to a standard character
New Hairstyles & Beards
We've added over 20 new hairstyles and 10 beard types to the game, including new hair color settings so you can customize your character exactly the way you like!
Note: we added back the 'change look' button to the character window in case you want to adjust your existing character
Party Looting (Need/Greed)
A Need/Greed/Pass loot system has been added for partied up players to roll on gear. We still need to add some QoL here but the basic system is functioning
Let us know any thoughts around this system and what else you'd like to see!
Weapon Coatings
Weapon Coatings will convert 15% of your dealt damage into another type, based on the coating applied
The monster hunters possess alchemical knowledge regarding Weapon Coatings. For 5 Writs and a bit of gold, you can buy the Hunters Handbook: Alchemical Coatings from the shop to learn these new recipes
They also sell the rare Weapon Oil which is a reagent used in the craft
Elemental Residue has now begun to drop from relevant mobs around Irumesa
Primordium
We've added 10-30 Primordium as rewards for completing the repeatable dungeon quests for all dungeons except Old Mine. We will add Old Mine later on
This should help you obtain more Primordium by running group content with friends and guildies!
Login Announcements
We setup the login screen to support announcements and also added a link to discord! This will help new players get some key info without having to rely on our posts here
Corrupted Grove Rework
Chisme has completely re-designed Corrupted Grove to be a more enjoyable and less-confusing dungeon
It looks pretty epic! Check it out and let us know what you think
Quest Tracker
We've added hide/show buttons to the Quest Tracker to control the visibility of objectives. This will help you hide excessive information when going about your quest-completing business!
