Nightingale Anniversary Update
Nightingale has officially reached its one-year milestone, and we’re here to celebrate with our next update. From a new dyes and customization system to tilesets and long-awaited bug fixes, this update brings plenty to help with your adventures in the Realms.
Dyes and Customization
One of the most anticipated features is finally here: dyes and customization! As added functionality to the Glamour Station, you now have the ability to change the materials and colors of your clothing, gear, and weapons. As soon as you unlock this station, you can start customizing.
Here’s how it works:
- When you acquire an item with a specific characteristic that impacts its appearance, that characteristic is permanently unlocked at the Glamour Station.
- For example, if you obtain an item with the Gold characteristic, you’ll be able to apply Gold to metals in the dye system from that point forward.
- This system does not work retroactively, so you’ll need to obtain new items or pick up items you already have with desired characteristics to unlock their appearances.
- For endgame players who’d rather not chase down every material, bundles of appearances are available at the Clothing Vendor in The Watch.
New Tilesets, Outfits, and Furniture
This update also expands building and fashion options with a new Western themed set:
- Frontier Tileset – A rugged new aesthetic for those seeking a bold frontier style.
- Wrangler Outfit – A stylish new look fit for any adventurer.
- New Furniture Sets – Enhance your homestead with additional pieces for the Crude and Tudor tilesets.
