Hey all, thanks for the Steam feedback — a lot of this came straight from your reports. Any issues let me know on this post or the forum. Open to your ideas to improve the game also.
Highlights
Massive profession expansion — ~250+ new recipes and late-game crafting chains across the job trees
New Guild Hall tab - manage your characters easier late game + Auto Deposit to Guild Bank
New House of Fortune casino hub — Blackjack, Poker, and Joker Poker
New Speculation market — charts, buy/sell, auto-orders, events, busts & relaunches
Big late-game performance pass — less lag when switching tabs and in long saves
Background gathering and crafting optimised and improved
Gameplay & Fixes
Multi-drop gathering fixed — bonus drops no longer overwrite each other (e.g. hide + feathers/fangs)
Tanner / Tailor crafting fixed — buttons, automation, cancel, and progress bars
Character-switch craft exploit fixed — no more free craft ticks from rapid swapping
Missing Tailor unlocks restored (Cloth, Wool Cloak, Traveler’s Pack, Leather Vest)
First craft / first gather of each item now grants 5× XP
Mail is account-wide — inbox no longer clears or swaps when changing characters
Kingdom deposits use character gold first, then Guild Bank (with proper failure messages)
Escalating costs for duplicate characters / later roster expansion
Fixed cross-character unlock softlocks so late-game crossover recipes unlock on the character that can craft them
Aether Elixir / Trauma Kit chain now unlocks from Restorative Kit (Herbalist)
Aether Copper Ring now unlocks from Copper Ring (Miner)
Attuned Moonlit Band (and follow-on Enchant halos) now unlocks from Arcane Crystal (Mage)
Beeswax and Mead are unlockable again via Apiary
Older saves auto-repair these unlocks if the prerequisite recipe is already unlocked
UI / QoL
Rarity-coloured item names across Orders, crafting, inventory, and gather buttons
Clearer craft buttons, progress states, and requirement text
Characters screen cleanup — better unlock list, contrast, and layout
Casino / Speculation UI pass — clearer labels, sounds, and styling
Localization
Steam should auto detect your default language now
Broad localization updates (zh-Hans, Japanese, German, Spanish, French)
Fixed broken Japanese formatting and German text leaking into Japanese UI
Fixed missing/broken strings (Kingdom treasury, music controls, Joker Poker, trading status, and more)
Hundreds of previously English Chinese item names translated better
Translated ~124 late-game item names for German, Spanish, and French better
Fixed Banner Stew Chinese (旗旗炖菜 → 战旗炖菜)
Synced CSV + locale assets for the above
