- Increased Limestone spawns in homevalleys and significantly in the Wild making leveling up carpentry skill to 32 easier.
- Iron Pickaxe can now mine Regular Iron nodes.
- Standardized wood output from chopping trees of different sizes.
- Simplified recipe flow for low-level cooking skills.
- Increased the amount of raw meat chunks gotten from carcasses to make low-level cooking more accessible.
- Materials for cloth pins recipes are now easier to obtain.
- Craftsman forge no longer requires Fine Cotton Cord.
- Added a conversion recipe for turning Gneiss and Limestone into Sand,
- Increased stack sizes for sand, glass and charcoal.
- Significantly increased the drops for wool. Also bears and level 5 boars now have a chance to drop wool.
- Increased green apple stack size to 20 so it falls in line with red apples.
- Fixed an issue where XP earns were allowed to continue even if players have reached max level. XP accumulation will now stop at the defined level cap.
