🧟 Back From The Dead Patch (staging edition)
Last post here: March 1. Today: August 12. In those five months half of the game was rewritten.
Everything below is live on the staging server. The main server gets it later with the wipe - a full restart from scratch, probably in September.
Big economy update
• All drop tables and quest rewards rebuilt from scratch.
• Map: Fortresses moved to new locations. A Fortress now protects only 2 nearby tiles, old fortress tiles turned into resource spots. New resources on the map: herbs, sunflower, thicket. Resource layout regenerated.
• 127 new craft recipes: 62 armor pieces, 32 weapons, 12 special meals, 6 food preps and more. Equipment grades B and A added.
• New items: 12 rare herbs, 3 new ammo types, new food ingredients up to tier 5.
• 8 new equipment sets for B and A gear. Set bonuses rebalanced.
• Capes reworked: instead of six fixed variants, the HP/mana split is now rolled randomly - so capes come in dozens of variants. B and A capes added.
• Craft and Cooking schools extended - new tiers up to level 72.
• Recovery potions: now 5 health + 4 mana tiers (was 3 + 3), values rebalanced.
• Spider rings removed - Spider drops D-grade loot instead.
Item system rework
• Enchanted gear is now a unique item with a permanent id - item links keep working after enchant.
• Rack and bag are gone - everything lives in your stock. /wrap is removed, ammo packs from shops and drops unpack via /use.
• New /inv, one command per line, item cards with all the actions on them.
HP, mana and food
• HP now regenerates as a percent of your max pool over time. VIT does not affect the speed.
• Food values rebalanced.
• Helping Hand reworked: it picks a fitting meal itself, and its mana cost drops as the skill grows.
Gameplay
• You are now always on a quest: stand on a resource tile - you farm it non-stop, moving is the only way to stop. The loop pauses after 24 hours without activity. Replaces /watch, chain mode and patrol.
• Newbie tour reworked: 23 tasks, any order. Finish all to get the Academy amulet.
• Level cap: 80 → 75.
Fixes
• WebApp reworked under the hood - faster and more stable.
• Fixed many bugs. Added many new ones.
