Added: The new European Dragon as playable character Added: Various illness debuffs (Nausea, Fatigue, Fever, Headaches, Intestinal Parasites, Brain Parasites and more) that have a low chance of being applied after consuming unpurified water and raw meat (work in progress) or interacting with certain level assets. Added: Some consumables now have a chance to cure illnesses. The higher the quality, the higher the chance of being cured. Items with curing effects will have them mentioned in their description. Added: 3 new fast travel points to island 1 Added: Several new locations to island 1 Added: New craftable and placeable item (available to all species): Primitive Water Collector Added: Additional Aahnunka spawn points Added: Sound indicators to starvation and dehydration Added: Interactable hay and scroll piles Added: New NPCs Added: New quests and quest types Added: Custom quest markers, yellow for one-time quests, blue for daily quests Added: Quest marker to all NPCs and other actors with a quest Added: Small quest icons to character dialogue options Added: Gliding will sometimes play an alternative gliding animation (Euro + Wyvern) Added: New, partially unique item types Added: Option to cancel quests Added: Quest Item Type Added: New level up notification Added: Way signs for better orientation Added: Vfx to waypoints Added: Minimal camera shake to diving movement Added: More Ramara spawn locations Added: Camera shake and visual effects to dashing Added: Quest tracking option to quest UI, tracked quests will be shown on the main character HUD Added: Red overlay to muted players on the player list UI (F1) Added: Clan and group invites from muted players are now being ignored Added: Muted players also can't receive any invites from the person who muted them Added: Experimental level-based damage scaling for bite and breath attacks Added: Ability icons are now darker and being blurred when a stat is too low to activate the ability

Updated: Stats will no longer be refilled when leveling up Updated: Some special items, like unique quest items, can't be destroyed, dropped or moved to different inventories other than the character inventory Updated: XP curve. Required max XP to reach level 50 has been rounded up. Required XP to level starts out lower and increases with each level. Level 50 characters will drop down to level 49 (halfway to level 50) with this change. No further max XP changes are planned. Updated: Improved tallow and leather drop rates Updated: Water purifiers now have a very small chance to apply a negative effect and will de-spawn after a certain amount of interactions Updated: Dashing and dodging now use proper double-tapping to avoid accidental triggers Updated: Made significant changes to island 1 to make some areas more accessible for flightless creatures and to create more building opportunities Updated: Significantly increased enemy AI loot drops chances and amounts Updated: Consumption amount of enemy AI corpses. How often players can eat from them now depends on enemy size and difficulty.
