The Marble Set
This new high-level set of building pieces offers a clean, palatial alternative to the brooding, gothic aesthetic of the Ornate Set.
The Marble Set is unlocked at level 45, just like the Ornate Set, and requires the use of repurposed Stone to be built. Some of the more lavish pieces, like doors and windows, may also require the use of Iron and Gold Ingots in their construction.
This new set offers the complete range of building pieces including walls, floors, roofs, windows, doors, stairs and much more! Not only that, but you can mix and match the pieces with the other existing sets to create appealing combinations. The Marble Set mixed with the Ornate Set, for example, provides a stunning contrast of a flat, clean white accented by shining metallic gold.
Disappearing Tames Fix
Many players have reported returning after updating their client to find that their precious dragons, unicorns and demons were no longer waiting for them. With tomorrow's patch, this should no longer be the case. Tamed creatures will now properly position themselves where you left them once the server went down so you can safely return to exploring and adventuring with them.
UPDATE: Due to some last minute issues with the testing of this fix, we will be saving it for a hotfix to shortly follow tomorrow morning's patch. Apologies for the minor delay!
Much More
As always, there will be a few smaller tweaks and fixes in tomorrow's patch. Players can now delete their created world from within the Create Game menu, NPCs have been given a tweak to give up their chase if they fail to hit you with a certain number of attacks, and we've fixed an exploit that allowed players to dismount a tame through a base's wall. Stay tuned for full patch notes tomorrow!
