Need a break from raiding enemy lands and staining the ground with blood of defeated foes? Let’s brew some decoctions – the Cooking and Herbalism craft has just been expanded with entire branch of herbal consumables! There’s more than 20 recipes to learn and 13 new types of plants to gather. Sickles in hands!
Also, we have a little sneak peek for you! We’re currently testing the new directional blocks with separate animations for each block. They will also be better synchronized than the current blocking system. New blocking system is coming to the game next week – stay tuned!

Gameplay:
– Introduced crafting branch of herbal consumables – 21 new recipes which can be bought from Food and Herb Merchants and dropped from NPC enemies; they are part of Cooking and Herbalism craft

Crafting balance:
As promised, we are starting updating various crafting processes to make them less tedious. In this update, we started with making the basic processes – flax processing and animals butchering – easier.

– From now on, Flax Seeds are obtained directly from gathering Flax nodes
– Reduced amount of parts of Carcasses required to butcher animals by 25-30%
– Increased amount of Tendons and Bowels obtained from butchering animals
– Added chance to drop 2 pieces of Blood of the Beast from 1 old animal
– Removed possibility for Honey to get rotten, which was added by accident in today’s update
