This update is the first step in allowing players to interact with the most powerful factions in Peregrine, with faction missions now available. Many factions can only be found at hidden locations, which can be unlocked through earning intel!
Systems
- Intel system implemented more fully. You have a chance to earn Intel every time you explore a town, and you can also purchase it from one location in the kingdom and gain it from certain events. Earning enough intel for a specific hidden location will uncover it, allowing you to visit.
- Faction missions available at faction specific locations - give standard rewards and also faction reputation upon completion
- Explore event flag system added, which means that under certain circumstances you will have specific explore events happen when you meet the criteria, used in plotting and follow on events.
- Combat missions no longer give reputation as a reward
- Updates to Search mission types. Searching in each location now also takes time (4 hours)
- Added location type: Hidden. Allows you to take missions for a specific faction based here or unlock mechanics only accessible from this location.
- Added location type: Faction. Allows you to take missions for a specific faction based here.
- Added location type: Town House. Found in each of the major cities, a town house is a very expensive investment but earns you 25 reputation in that city.
- Added location type: Broker. The broker allows you to purchase intel for hidden locations around Peregrine, helping you to uncover and unlock them.
- Added location type: Cart Company. Allows you to purchase special parts for your cart. Note that this system isn't currently in place, so you can only buy the parts right now, not actually fit them to your cart.
Balance
- Guild tab unlock moved from lvl 3 to lvl 4
- Charters tab unlock moved from lvl 4 to lvl 5
