Patch 0.4 - Nel’Vari Update
Hello, everyone!
It's Michael, Writer at Pixel Sprout Studios!
Welcome back to another Pixel Sprout Studios patch update. I have to say, today’s update is HEFTY - and just in time for the holiday break! Did somebody say “Sun Haven binge-fest?”
First and foremost, Sun Haven’s main narrative has greatly expanded! That’s right folks, you can now play through the entirety of the Nel’Vari section of the main questline, over 40 new quests to complete. You will most definitely want to check it out, especially if you’re interested in a fast travel system between Nel’Vari and Sun Haven!
The Elven town of Nel’Vari has also been significantly revamped! I’m talking about the maps, the NPCs, the quests, the shops, the music - heck, there’s even a town map now! On top of this, a revamped Nel’Vari wouldn’t be complete without a brand new player farm now, would it?
Now, I’ll quit talking your ear off so you can scan through the entire list of changes below. Be sure to check out the quality of life updates, too!
