Hey everyone!
It has been a while since my last update, but this one rolls up everything I've been working on since v2.29.0: Camp Raids, a Masonry rebalance, and a large batch of fixes. Here's the full rundown.
v2.30.0 - Camp Raids
A brand new estate system has arrived. After completing the Alpha's Den quest, your camp can now be raided every 4-6 hours. Build fortifications, defend your estate, and earn rewards for holding the line.
- Camp Raids unlocked after Alpha's Den - Once the quest is complete, raids begin happening automatically every 4-6 hours.
- Camp Power determines raid strength and rewards - Your estate level, rooms, and room upgrades determine your Camp Power. Higher Camp Power means tougher raids, but also better loot.
- Fortifications protect your gold - Build defenses to improve your chance of success. If raiders break through, they can steal up to 10% of your gold, capped at 50,000.
- Successful defenses reward loot - Winning a raid rewards gold and materials based on your current raid tier. A Decisive Victory gives an extra reward roll. So, it's better to keep your fortifications maxed out!
- New Masonry defense tasks added - Fortify Estate Foundations unlocks at Masonry 63, and Reinforce Outpost Walls unlocks at Masonry 90. Each task raises your fortification cap by 1, up to 200 total.
- Damaged defenses can be rebuilt - Restore fortifications using Wall Sections from Carpentry or Foundations from Masonry.
- Fortifications survive rebirth - Your fortification points and fortification cap carry forward.
- New Estate raid panel added - View your fortification bar, Camp Power, raid timer, exposed gold, and defense history from the Estate panel.
- Offline raids resolve when you return - Raids that happen while you are away are handled automatically the next time you load the game.
- New in-game achievements added - Unlocked Raids, Fortified the Camp, and Reinforced the Camp are now available. I'm looking into requesting more Steam achievement slots ASAP!
- Notifications now stack - Up to 5 notifications can appear at once instead of replacing each other. Click any notification to dismiss it early.
- New sound setting added - The Ominous Tone sound now has its own toggle under Notification Sounds.
v2.29.0 - Masonry Rebalance & Quality of Life
- Higher-tier Masonry XP increased - Masonry tasks from Soot tier and above now grant 75% more XP, making the mid-to-endgame Masonry grind smoother.
- Conduit tasks unlock earlier - Forge Conduit Blocks now unlocks at Masonry 80, down from 85. Lay Conduit Foundation now unlocks at Masonry 85, down from 90.
- New Masonry defense tasks added - Mentioned above, Fortify Estate Foundations unlocks at Masonry 63, and Reinforce Outpost Walls unlocks at Masonry 90.
- Visseron Fortress requirement lowered - Visseron Fortress now requires Masonry 85, down from 90, matching the new Conduit Foundation unlock level.
- Quest item requests cleaned up - Side quests and timed quests should no longer ask for items you have not unlocked yet.
v2.30.1 - Bug Fixes & Polish
- Ashvine Draught fixed - Ashvine Draught now grants its own speed buff instead of sharing the wrong potion effect and cooldown.
- High-tier potion buffs rebalanced - Void Ash Draught, Voidblight Tonic, Veilblossom Brew, and Moonfire Elixir now scale more appropriately for their Brewing level.
- Combat and Meditation queue limits fixed - Combat and Meditation queue amounts now cap at 9999 like other skill queues.
- Dungeon combat time now counts correctly - Time spent fighting in dungeons now counts toward Combat trained-time achievements and your current weapon class trained-time achievements.
- Existing dungeon time credited where possible - As a one-time fix, existing dungeon time has been credited toward Combat trained time in your currently selected class. I could not safely split past dungeon time across older classes, because the game did not previously store which class was active during those past dungeon runs.
- Speed stat display cleaned up - Inventory tooltips, item details, and Combat Stats now consistently show Speed as Speed points.
- Alteration progress fixed - Alteration progress now stays in sync with the top activity bar and correctly benefits from speed buffs.
- Alteration page layout updated - The Alteration page now uses the same XP bar and level layout as other skills.
- Alteration queue fixed - Starting a new Alteration while one is already running now queues the next one instead of canceling the current task.
Sorry this batch took a little longer than usual to get out. Lots of fixes means lots of testing. Thanks so much for your patience!
