Map and Skill Info

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

This week I unfortunately got sick so we decided to work on something simpler. After watching TheLazyPeon's awesome new video we were reminded of some important QoL that we had always planned to do but never gotten around to.

Feature

  • Map, can be opened with the default key 'M'. Contains icons for Banks, Crafting Stations, Gathering Spots, Shops and Respawn points.

  • Skill info can be opened by pressing the skill icon in the skills menu. It provides an overview of each skill, including the equipment and items that require the skills to use them.

Balance

  • Artisan gloves now requires both 20 smithing and potion making level.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed rocks that you could get stuck on in the Darklands.

  • Fixed navmesh issues on burning building.

  • Fixed being able to press "Enter World" button before the characters were fetched.

  • Fixed Fire Lich boss could remove you from the target pool while you were still in the arena.

We are fleshing out a longer roadmap to show you exactly where we are taking things. We are incredibly excited about these upcoming features and we believe it is important to be fully transparent with you all regarding the direction we are taking the game. You should hopefully be hearing more about this from us soon.
