Cavern QoL, Fixes and What's Next

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

First of all, we want to say thank you to everyone for supporting us with a membership purchase. It means the world to us and we are very excited to create more content for you to enjoy. Here is our plan for the next few updates:

  • Our next content update will be in 3 to 4 weeks. This will come with a new level 60 ore, a level 60 armour set, and a smithing rework.

  • We plan to run our very first in-game poll in 2 to 3 weeks so you get to choose the next high level boss.

  • In the meantime, we will still be updating the game every week with smaller quality of life improvements and content.

Quality of Life

  • Added a new NPC in the cavern who gives you access to the bank after completing a mini-quest.

  • Bank UI now opens to your last selected tab.

  • You can now drag items to bank tab buttons to quickly move items between tabs.

  • Quick-depositing an item into the bank (right-click) now searches all your tabs to add it to an existing stack, not just your currently selected tab.

Balance

  • Tweaked Ashen skeletons' defensive stats to be more consistent across the normal and add versions.

  • Buffed the Burning King's normal loot table slightly.

  • The Burning King's 2nd phase now spawns adds only after the current wave has been cleared, rather than based on a timer.

  • Increased the Burning King's 2nd phase add spawn radius slightly to spread them out a bit.

  • Reduced Burning King's leap radius from leap combo slightly.

  • Made Burning King's 3rd phase's big leap less frequent.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed NPCs not resetting tracked damage on reset.

  • Fixed an issue where adds would sometimes fail to spawn during the Burning King's 2nd phase.

  • Fixed being able to click through the gaps of the bridge in cavern goblin hunter's boss arena.

  • Fixed Valen City's cauldron giving incorrect amount of xp.

  • Fixed scout helmet not dropping if you were on the "Return to Guard Captain" step of the Open the Gates quest.

  • Fixed and improved pathing around the carp fishing area.

  • Fixed more spots where mob could get stuck.

  • Fixed an issue preventing players from picking up tradeable, members only item after 2 mins.

  • Fixed text for item drops not showing when dropped near the edges of the burning king's arena.

  • Fixed volcanic ring icon being too dark.

  • Fixed few typos.

We don't want PvE only players to feel forced into PvP so we took great care in our design to ensure that they don't miss out on any important or meta items by refusing to partake. The new items coming are designed to meaningfully equivalent to existing items…
