Patch Notes 0.2.14

This patch includes many new quests and other early game improvements for new characters, with the goal of making progression less chaotic and more immersive. Starting a fresh character in a fresh world is recommended to experience all of the changes.

Dungeons

• The first dungeon, Shallow Caves, is now available. Entrances can be found on most islands.

• Enemies inside drop crafting materials, 2 new cooking ingredients, and 1 new skillbook.

• The starter island version is smaller and contains 2 special points of interest required to progress through the island.

• After completing the starter version once, dungeons can be reset and run multiple times.

Skills

• New skill: Corruption. Applies a DoT that spreads to nearby enemies. Dropped by Fathomfiends.

• New skill: Shockwave. Creates a massive shockwave that deals heavy blunt damage in a large area. Crafted at the Spellforge. Its main ingredient can be mined from elite Earth Elementals.

Artisan Table

• This is a new workstation used for crafting magical weapons, jewelry, gems, and potions.

• New: consuming a potion creates an Empty Vial that can be used to craft potions at the Artisan Table.

Spellforge

• Added the Lesser Spellforge, which is built with tin and unlocks disenchanting earlier.

• Spellforge now handles upgrades and reforging, so you no longer need to run between different stations.

• Since all 3 buttons are now next to each other in the same UI, disenchanting now takes 1 second, giving you time to cancel it.

• Medium armor now has 1 extra reforging option.

• Spellforge and Portal now unlock after reading a book found in a ruined tower on the starter island.

Altar of Rites

• Learning the recipe now requires visiting Shallow Caves on the starter island.

• Altar of Rites can now be used to set your respawn point.

• Beds no longer act as respawn points, but can still be used to skip the night.

• Fixed a bug that caused players to respawn at the coast despite having an altar, previously a bed, claimed.

Misc

• Added new quests to help with progression on the starter island and beyond.

• Improved world chunk and grass generation algorithms so they no longer cause FPS drops.

• Smelting metals beyond copper and tin now requires Bellows. The recipe can be found in the Shallow Caves on the starter island.

• Darkwood Dust can now be converted into charcoal.

• Added localization to many places where it was missing.

• Split Stack window now recognizes the Enter key.

• In new worlds, the starting island is now slightly smaller, and other islands are slightly closer to each other.

• Fixed a bug that caused some points of interest to not spawn all of their content.

• Fixed a bug that caused some points of interest to spawn in the ocean.

• Fixed a bug that caused rare and elite enemies to look like normal ones.

• Fixed a bug that caused visible seams to appear on the terrain.
