Coin and Counsel — Updates 1.0.5 & 1.0.6
A new building, real lifesteal, and a handful of overdue fixes — all landing together.
🏛️ The Academy
A new building for your Holding, and the realm's first true late-game gold sink.
- Fund it with gold — 100M to raise, scaling into the billions — and a share of all the XP you earn (yours and your minions', online and offline) also pours into your single weakest skill.
- Climbs to +5% at max level. Dragging a neglected skill up from the ground now happens quietly in the background while you train whatever you like.
- A proper home for overflowing late-game coin: maxing it runs into the billions.
Keep an eye out for the violet 📚 +XP popups marking whichever skill the Academy is feeding.
⚔️ Fixes & Balance
- Crimson Pact actually heals you now. It was quietly broken — instead of restoring HP it only shaved a sliver off incoming hits. It now genuinely returns HP for every monster you kill, shown right in the combat log.
- The Sawmill now boosts Carpentry too, not just Woodcutting — a sawmill is where logs become planks, after all.
- Vintner's Cellar raises the buff-duration cap. With enough ranks you can bank consumable buffs well past the old 60-minute ceiling.
