Main Changes
Eagle Update
We’ve fully updated the model and visual effects for the Eagle used during the “Flight” spell. General approach has changed too - now, instead of being carried by the Eagle, characters transform into the Eagle themselves.
The ability is also initially blocked. Characters can receive this gift from Chronos in his Sanctuary.
Storm Warning
The guardian of the Frozen Citadel, dragon Crysta, travels from biome to biome, summoning snowy blizzards in her wake. Beckoned by her call, frozen monsters awaken amidst the impenetrable storm.
Travelers would be wise to hide away in their houses during such harsh periods, only hoping that their shelters will withstand the unrelanting icy knocks.
Cradle of Keepers Pillars
Camps of the Furious Grunt, Smoldering Warlock and Skull Hunter got an update and were transfered back into the Cradle of Keepers. They all still keep the masks needed to activate the portal to the Sanctuary. The last mask can be received as a souveneir from your old pal Bonehead.
On top of that, the first floating island biome has received its own name - “The Broken Valley”. Among those islands players will be able to find objects, holding the story of Arkana.
Magic Abilities Display
UI has received a new addition - the spell bar. It will display all abilities, that consume Flame.
New Approach to Building
The functionality of the Sentinel has been completely reworked, now providing all 3 functions needed to make a proper household: it now acts as a point of respawn, teleportation and a building area. Once you place the Sentinel, it will set and display the boundaries in which you can build your shelter. Needless to say, Sentinels now completely replace the building hammers.
Building “by hand” has also been changed. Now all crafted stations must be immediately placed on the ground, and can no longer be packed. The list of crafting stations has also changed.
Ability Tree Update
The ability tree is getting closer to its finalised state. This time we’ve set the intended design and the positioning of nodes within the tree, while also adding more passive abilities.
