Seamless Combat Looting: Blood Cores, rare crafting materials, and equipment drops now deposit directly into your active inventory during live combat and offline hunting sessions.
Uninterrupted Hunting: Slaying ambient Blood Echo bosses in combat zones will no longer stop your continuous farming loop.
Enhanced Co-op Party Invites: Gathering your allies for Group Combat is now smoother and faster with instant, case-flexible lobby invites.
Real-Time Crimson Market: The exchange now tracks real 24-hour player trading activity rather than simulated estimates.

⚔️ Combat & Blood Echoes
Blood Core & Item Drop Fix: Resolved an issue where looted items were not entering player inventories upon killing enemies.
Continuous Zone Farming: Slashing down ambient Blood Echoes that manifest in your zone will no longer interrupt your combat loop or reset your target.
Offline Echo Manifestations: Idle and offline hunting now fully simulates Blood Echo encounters, awarding full kill tracking, boss XP, and guaranteed Blood Core drops.
Combat Consumable Stability: Fixed an issue where rapidly switching weapons or armor during intense combat could cause food or elixir charges to desync.
👥 Co-op & Coven Features
Private Coven Chat: Fixed an issue where Coven Chat was broadcasting messages across multiple clans. Coven Chat is now strictly private and isolated solely to fellow members of your specific Coven.
Instant Party Invites: Fixed an issue where inviting friends or Coven members to a Combat Party lobby reported them as offline. Invites now deliver instantly to active players.
Flexible Username Search: Searching for player usernames in the party lobby is now case-insensitive.
Coven Roster Accuracy: The Coven Clan member list now accurately distinguishes between players who are actively in-game and those who are offline training.
🏰 Sanctuary & Quality of Life
Real-Time Crimson Market Activity: The "Hottest Items of the Day" carousel now tracks actual player exchange trading volume over the last 24 hours. If no items have traded yet, it cleanly displays "Nothing is hot" until player trade offers ignite the market.
Direct Discord Access: Added a quick Discord Community button to the top-right header menu for easy access to community guides, trade discussions, and live announcements.
Sanctuary Info & Rules: Added a new Info tab in Settings containing your live version info, community links, and interactive buttons to view official Game Rules and the EULA.
Smooth Item Interactions: Item action buttons (Equip, Unequip, Sell to Vendor, Consume) now display clear visual loading states to prevent accidental double-clicks.
Merchant Price Parity: Aligned merchant shop pricing across all vendors to match official catalogue costs.
🏆 Steam Platform Improvements
Steam Achievement Descriptions: Corrected metadata for the First Blood achievement on Steam so it cleanly displays "Defeat your first enemy." on your Steam profile and activity feed.
Steam Desktop Connectivity: Optimized network routing for the Steam desktop client to ensure rock-solid stability for live party combat and Steam Wallet checkouts.
