Greetings Mercenaries,
Community Update 6 is now live, bringing with it a powerful new tier of gear, improvements to core systems, performance optimizations, and a broad round of fixes all shaped by your feedback.
Features & Changes
Tier 5 Gear
Craft a new tier of equipment using Carmine Tanbark (gathered by Master Woodcutters when chopping wood) and Varmeil (crafted by Master Alchemists using Carmine Tanbark, cloth, and plague-ridden samples), a rare red fabric.
New recipes are available for all gear types: dagger, sword, mace, axe, polearm, cestus, throwing weapons, and shield.
Notification Log
We’ve streamlined notifications during gameplay. Related messages are now grouped, and key alerts are saved in a dedicated log near the quest tab on your map.
New Confessions and Traits
44 new confessions and 11 new traits have been added, some exclusive to specific companions. These additions give your troop more personality and narrative depth.
Performance Optimizations
Fixed issues with enemy count in region-locked battles and improved memory management.
Limited the number of visible mercenaries displayed in the world to help ensure smoother gameplay, especially for players managing large groups of mercenaries (yes YOU with your 70+ mercs). This can be disabled in the settings under the graphics tab.
