Hey everyone,
Two quick patches rolling out today to address issues you've been reporting since the Time is Precious update. Thank you to everyone who took the time to flag these -- it makes a huge difference.
Fixes & Changes
Blacksmithing Content
- Added forge recipes for Aetherite, Pyrestone, Arcanium, and Voltite Hinges. These were missing entirely, which meant some estate room upgrades were impossible to complete. You can now forge them in the Parts subcategory at the expected levels.
- Removed Forge Chain Links from the recipe list. Chain links are a junk item only meant to come from salvaging corroded chain -- spending Arcstone Ingots on them was a trap.
- Removed Aetherite Clasps and Aetherite Fittings -- these were leftover items from an earlier naming pass and had no use. If you had any in your inventory, they've been safely cleaned up.
Fuel Balance
- Coke now provides 15 forge fuel (was 5). Baking coke is now a genuine upgrade over burning raw charcoal, as it should be.
- Imbued Coke now provides 40 forge fuel (was 20) to keep the upgrade chain feeling worthwhile.
- Furnace capacity increased from 50 to 200 to match the new fuel scale.
- Fixed the Forge Fuel panel -- it was displaying the old point values even after the balance change.
Quest & UI Fixes
- The Scroll Commission timed quest was impossible to complete because it was tracking an item that doesn't exist. It now correctly counts Blank Parchment production.
- Task unlock hints no longer redundantly show the estate room name when you've already built the room. They now correctly say "Unlocks at Level X" instead.
Coming Next
We're continuing to work through the community reports. Here's what's on deck:
- Inscription cleanup -- fixing phantom duplicate items caused by selling or removing inscriptions, plus a save migration to scrub any orphaned item data from existing saves.
- Favorites sell protection -- favorited items will be blocked from being sold, so you can't accidentally vendor your best gear.
- "NEEDS" item tooltips -- hovering over required materials on task cards will show you what the item is and where to get it.
- Side quest generation -- investigating reports of side quests not appearing for some players.
As always, your saves are fully compatible -- just restart the game or refresh to pick up the update.
