[b]Known Issues / Backlog[/b]

[list]

[*] Dialogue text overlapping dialogue choice buttons

[*] Bandit projectiles passing through ruin walls

[*] Evolve level not shown in the Wildapedia

[*] Pet/NPC AI getting stuck, failing to navigate obstacles, or targeting incorrectly after extended play

[*] Lord "Challenge the Arena" quest needs to verify the arena in the Lord's own village specifically, and should name the village in the quest text

[*] Lag spikes when turning in main quests / finishing tutorials — caused by saving blocking the main thread

[*] Boomerang sometimes not despawning and following the player

[*] Harvesting (E) near a pet instantly feeding it — needs a key-up delay

[*] Slow load times when leaving rooms/dungeons

[*] Abandoned quests should complete with an "[Abandoned]" tag, be reversible, persist correctly, and clear their map markers
