UPDATE V 0.7.0 PATCH NOTES
Additions
- Water has been introduced to Portal Knights. When creating new universes and islands, many islands will have lakes. Old universes and islands will have some water thanks to certain events.
- Water will contain new enemies and chests with specific loot.
- New items will help the player underwater against drowning like air as loot, oxygen potions and oxygen buffs.
- Expressive animations can be played from the new emote menu.
- Each boss has now a hard mode counterpart that can be accessed via an instant-travel item. These items drop when defeating the regular version of each of the bosses.
- The hard mode bosses have stronger attacks and minions and should be encountered with a full party of 4 well-equipped Portal Knights.
- To help overcome this challenge, new items will be available: rings, specific potions and new weapons.
- The hard mode bosses have unique loot which is unavailable anywhere else in the game.
- Stacks of items can now be split in half using the right-click context menu.
- Shift-click allows auto-transferring items from the action bar to the backpack or chests and vice versa.
- Controller rumble has been added.
- The main attributes have been reworked. There are now 6 main attributes which are increased automatically for all classes on each level up with a bonus for your 2 class-specific attributes. In addition to this, the player can now freely raise any of the available 6 attributes with 3 points per level-up. All Attribute-Points have to be redistributed.
- If the distribution didn’t go as planned, there is also a potion available for crafting to reset the attributes points.
- The ‘Ward of Protection’ has been introduced. This item can shield a certain area of the island against enemy spawning. Already existing enemies are not killed upon placement. Also, event enemies will still spawn so that event quests can always be solved.
- Enemies now follow the player more aggressively. They are slightly faster and can jump better over obstacles.
- New events are available with new trophies, loot chests and challenging enemies.
- New block types are available.
- A new option allows changing of the field of view.

- A new setting allows the player to force the camera into third person camera mode during combat when playing in first person camera mode.
- New pets are available.
- Enemies now drop coins.
Changes
- Loot is no longer filled into the highlighted actionbar slot. This prevents accidental placement of freshly picked up blocks.
- The worldmap has been improved for a smoother handling.
- The emotes are triggered over the emote wheel. The key or controller button for the emote wheel may require the reset of the key-bindings to show up correctly. The reset button can be found in the key-bindings menu in the options.
- The first grassland island after the homeland island (ID: 1-03) has a new graphical variant in new universes.
