Welcome Traveler,
it's been quite a year for Chronicles of Vaeltaja with lots of changes, improvements and added content. I was planning to end this year by tying up all the loose ends in the existing areas and bringing the rest of the 'Islands of the Prophets' content, but unfortunately this past month has been quite busy in many ways and I had to give myself some time to rest also. Therefore the 'Islands of the Prophets Part 2' update has been delayed until next year. However, that doesn't mean the rest of the year will go by without an update. So, let me present you the 'Conjurer Unleashed' update!
When the update arrives in a few days, you can finally witness the true power of the 'Conjurer' character class. This means some fundamental changes to how the character class works. So far the Conjurers have been able to summon creatures, monsters and undead to aid the party without any control over their behaviour, but after the update things will be different and Conjurers will be able to learn how to control them.
At the start, when the Conjurer's 'Summoner' or 'Necromancer' class skills are low, summoned creatures act on their own, but once those class skills get better the Conjurer will be able to control their actions. For example, if 'Summoner' class skill is 5, Conjurer will learn to control Nikaru, which means that the Conjurer can choose which enemy the summoned creature will target and what skill it will use to attack. But it doesn't end there: Once the Conjurer gains the control over the summoned creature, also the time the creature stays in the battle will be twice as long.
And it gets even better! When the class skill is high enough the Conjurer's true power will be unleashed and it will give the Conjurer the power to keep the summoned creature in the battle as long as necessary. But there's more: The summoned creature will also learn a new skill. For example, if 'Summoner' class skill is 10, Conjurer gains full control over Nikaru and can keep it in the battlefield until the battle is over. Nikaru will also learn a new skill that can be used in battle.
These changes will add some extra depth to the 'Conjurer' class and make it a viable option when choosing the party.
Even though I won't give a specific date for the update, it's arrival is only a matter of days. Detailed patch notes will be released once the update is live.
Meanwhile, if you don't already own Chronicles of Vaeltaja, now is a good chance to buy it. The game will probably not get a better discount in it's Early Access period.
Thank You and have a happy holiday!
