[Highlights]

• 6 new character skills

  2 for each class, including: the Knight, the Barbarian, and the Oracle.

• 3 new Wyrmling skills

  1 for the Ice Wyrmling and 2 for the Toxic Wyrmling.

• 5 new Services in the City of Montescail

  The Enchanter, The Memorialist, The Grand Benedictor, The Artificer, The Arsenal will be added to your city. These are designed to give you more control around your itemization and builds.

• New Biome: Nurõrgartt

  4 new levels in The Tundra and the Glacier environments. New dungeon purification: The Ice Cavern. New enemies, and bosses to discover.

• New endgame activity: Test of Will

  In this mode, you'll face wave after wave of enemies while dealing with a mix of temporary buffs and debuffs, along with permanent bonuses that last throughout the run.

• New kind of reward: Gift of the Eternal

  In our ongoing efforts to enhance player agency and reward progression, we'd like to introduce a new kind of reward: Gift of the Eternal. Our goal with that new reward is to provide meaningful choices that respect your time and investment in the game. By allowing you to select rewards that align with your goals, we aim to enhance your gameplay experience and progression satisfaction.​

• 🔥New Storage Chest for Fragments

  Many players have expressed frustration over the limited storage space for Fragments and we've heard you! That’s why we introduce the Fragment chest! You’ll now find several Fragment chests scattered throughout the city, right alongside the familiar Equipment chest.

• 15 new endgame hunts

  New rewards to unlock on the Hunting Board for chaos hunts and for the Gift of the Eternal. Most Hunts happen in the new biome “Nurõrgartt”.

• 🔥Progression & loot adjustments

  Your feedback highlighted how the overall level progression, especially between levels 30 to 45 could feel underwhelming and unrewarding. With this patch, we’ve taken the first steps to make leveling more satisfying by allowing players to obtain more interesting and high-rarity drops much earlier. Our intention is to add more 'wow' moments for the player and make progression before max level feel exciting. As such, Divine & Draconic are now available starting at level 1 and Mythical items drop from level 30 instead of 45. The Gift of the Eternal, which can drop in the storyline and offers rarer items, should help reinforce that rewarding sense of progression.

• 🔥Gameplay adjustment

  This patch brings a wide wave of gameplay refinements aimed at making the core experience feel better. As such, we’ve touched many parts of the gameplay. Expect: increased enemy density, combat feel and responsiveness, loot visibility, difficulty adjustments, and of course overall skill balance.

• Quality of Life (QoL) & New options

  We are adding in-game guides, features like level-up notifications, and improving tooltip readability. We also really want our players to customize their experience. That’s why we’re adding plenty of settings for you to mess around with, such as high-contrast cursor, minimap transparency, camera distance, NPC and Enemy Highlight options, Colorblind mode and more.

• Founder Pack 2 available

  Dragonkin: The Banished. Founder Pack 2 contains: 6 exclusive pieces of equipment including a chest and a helmet for your heroes (2 per character) 6 exclusive visual effects allowing you to add a trail to your Wyrmling. The exclusive pack “Day of the Dead Dragon” includes cosmetic elements for your city: statues, roofs, flags and pennants.

• 🔥Gold, dust and crafting ingredients are now shared between all characters

  This is a feature a few of our members on Discord suggested. Since we want to encourage players to create alts, we decided to allow these resources to be shared across all characters on your account, as long as they are created in the same city.

• Selling Mythical equipments & fragments to the Dark Merchant now grants Primordial dust

✨Quality of Life (QoL)

• 🔥Tooltips now display at the bottom of the screen when hovering over an item (optional in settings) and Quest item names are underlined for easier identification
• 🔥Added sounds and updated visual effects when a Draconic and Divine items drop on the ground
• New icons for equipments and Fragments dropped on the ground

  This change aims to make it easier for players to quickly identify valuable or interesting drops. Now, you'll be able to instantly recognize if an item is Divine, Draconic, if not both, or another key rarity without having to pick it up first. Previously, players had to pick up equipment to check its stats or fragment to see what it contains, even if they already knew it was Divine, Draconic or a specific size of fragment. This wasn’t ideal, especially when the inventory would be filled up pretty fast, forcing players to either drop items on the ground or make trips back to town to sell them. We want to respect your time and investment, so you can now spot interesting items at a glance and preview their details when you hover them, before committing to pick them up.

• 🔥Added a notification when earning City Prosperity (XP + level up), this change should help you to keep better track of your City progression
• Added a level-up animation for both the player and the wyrmling. Additionally, health and mana are fully restored upon leveling up!

• Customization City menu has been improved
• Added a zooming camera when upgrading or customizing your city, so you can actually see what you're changing

• Added more loading screen variations themed to different environments
• 🔥Added Hit flash and Screen Shake settings

[Update]

🎮Gameplay

Loot

• 🔥Divine & Draconic items are now available starting at level 1
• 🔥Mythical items now drop starting at level 30+ (previously 45+)
• 🔥All rarities (Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, Mythical) are now obtainable 10 levels earlier. This change does not affect fragment drops
• Draconic & Divine loot rate has been adjusted
• Reduced loot drop quantity from trash mobs and swarm, in response to increased population

  The current progression system felt too slow and lacked excitement. That’s why we’ve made some adjustments to progression and loot based on the feedback many of you shared. To address this, we made changes on the loot curves and rates for equipment. With these tweaks we aim to create more memorable moments when you find something “cool”, while also smoothing out the overall itemization as you level up. One of the goals here was to reduce the feeling of getting stuck with low or mid rarity gear for too long. And while It’s true that we are lowering the overall drop rates a bit, you’ll now start seeing higher and more varied rarities and kinds of equipment earlier in your progression. We also fixed some issues with Divine and Draconic drops, they were showing up way less than intended at low levels, and a little too frequently in endgame. While this isn’t a full overhaul of the loot system, with the introduction of Eternal Gifts, earlier access to higher rarities, and new properties that equipment can roll with, we hope these first changes will make the experience feel smoother, more engaging and more fun overall. Of course, we’ll be keeping a close eye on how all of this plays out and make changes if needed in the future based on your feedback.

• Pendants can now be Legendary and Divine

  Legendary pendants grant 1 Talent Point. Divine grant 1 extra Talent Point (+3).

• Low-tier gear can roll with a talent, and equipment can spawn with a linked mod
• Loot quality now scales more accurately with difficulty levels
• 🔥Removed the following affixes from equipment slots
  Left & right hand
  • Gold
  • Max health

  Left hand only

  • Elite resistance
  • Thorn damage
  • Block
  • Barrier
  • Reflex
  • Damage reduction

• Updated skills
  Knight
  • Reworked Knight skill: Shattering Shield to become a larger, scalable AoE with the keyword “Area of Effect” replacing the previous “projectiles” keyword
  Oracle
  • Skills with vision now cost 0 energy (for a short time if channeled)
  • Updated some skills when using Vision:
    • Ethereal darts now immediately shoots around the target on-cast
    • Electric wave now goes faster and returns to its cast position
    • Lightning beam now features a secondary beam behind the Oracle

    Other Skills

  • 🔥Updated all skill modifiers with a new intermediary tier (1 > 3 > 7 > 15 > 30)

    Previously, hitting the final 2 tiers felt pretty hard to grab the strongest bonuses. To address that issue, we added an intermediary tier to smooth out the progression and give more power-spikes to your build. Additionally, bonuses values across all tiers have also been adjusted accordingly.

  
  
• Adjusted keywords and modifier compatibilities on a lot of Character & Wyrmling skills
  
• Adjusted summons’ combat AI to be able to fight even when the caster is not nearby, and teleport when too far away
  
• Summons are now correctly affected by mods and talents
  
• Adjusted stats for all summoning abilities: summoned creatures (soldiers, sentinels, insects) now scale with the damage, armor and health multipliers of the summoning character, including elemental damage multipliers and summon stat bonus
  
• Reworked all wyrmling summon skills:
  • The electric wyrmling now summons a frail but friendly harpy that fires piercing projectiles
  • The fire wyrmling’s summon is a friendly damned creature that strikes all-around it
  • The ice wyrmling now summons tougher melee skeletons
  • The toxic wyrmling still summons tons of insects, but they’re no longer invincible (they continue to avoid aggro, though)

    We’ve updated all summoning skills to better scale with the caster’s statistics. We also took this opportunity to make each skill feel more unique. We still have some work to do so that every interaction (mostly with passive skills and modifiers) works correctly with summons. If you felt that summon builds were too weak to try before, now is the time to check them out again!

• Some modifiers can now add keyword to skills, making them compatibles with others modifiers (for example, adding a cooldown to a skill now add the “Cooldown” keyword)

Crafting
• Reduced crafting costs for Potions, Rings, Ornamentalist gear, and Wyrmling Armor

  This change should help to make early and mid-game progression smoothe

• Potion effect quality now scales with rarity, meaning higher rarities give better stats
• The Dark Merchant now sells common items and starter skill fragments Misc.
• Destructibles can now drop gold, because destroying stuff should be somewhat rewarding
• All enemies are cleared and spawners disabled when the final room portal appears during dungeon purification
• Barrier regeneration is now gradual rather than in fixed intervals
• Players can now interact with each relic only once

Known Issues

With the release of the Nurõrgartt update, we're aware of several issues, some more significant than others.

While none are critical enough to delay the update, we’re actively working on a Hotfix scheduled for release next week. This will give us the time we need to thoroughly test the fixes.

As for now:

• "Fire by Fire" (endgame quest) cannot be completed.
• "The Gift of the Eternal" does not give Divine Resources.
• The Safe Distance modifier is currently non-functional.
• The elite affix "Guardian" can stack indefinitely, potentially preventing enemies from being killed.
• A crash may occur when rerolling a Hexagon from a Fragment using the Enchanter.
• Chaos Hunt settings reset after returning to town post-hunt.
• The Ice Wyrmling Armor "Okaenos Cobalt Armour" has a wrong talent.
• The "Elementary pseudopod" enemy is incorrectly providing constant shield regeneration

We’d like to inform you of a bug we've identified, that we won't be able to fix in the upcoming hotfix.

In the patch notes, we mention a fix where ranged enemies would sometimes get stuck if there was an obstacle (like a rock) between them and the player, only when the player is standing close to that obstacle. This preventing enemies from chasing the player properly.

However, this fix has inadvertently caused the same issue to affect melee enemies, which was not the case before.

Temporary Workaround:

If you encounter this bug, simply moving around should help "unstick" the enemies and get them back on track.

We appreciate your patience and support while we work to resolve these.

Your feedback helps!

Thank you for bringing issues to our attention so we were able to fix them quickly!

As usual, if you come across any further issues or bugs, please report them on Discord so we can investigate and get fixes out! Naughty little bugs! Blame this guy 🐛

Also, we’ll say it again, but we’re building this game alongside the community. So if you have suggestions, we want to hear them. Whether our Discord or the Steam Discussions, we’ll be there!

And with that, see you next time!
