Fast Travel system

We’ve added a Fast Travel system that allows players to quickly move between unlocked key locations across the map. This feature significantly reduces travel time, making exploration, questing, and returning to important areas much smoother and more convenient. Approach signposts placed in key locations across the map and, for a small fee, instantly travel to any previously discovered location.

Upgraded furnaces

Furnaces used for gold and iron processing can now be upgraded. These improvements increase efficiency and allow players to handle larger quantities of materials at once, making resource processing faster and more effective as the game progresses.
