Patch Notes - Temporary Regions & World Events

Added:

• Added a new Equipment Slot, the Trinket

• Trinkets are found solely in Uncharted Islands temporary region for now. In the future, more of these will be added to the core game’s content

• Trinkets are not crafted by players and are found primarily from doing the Hexite Sealed Chest world event

• Trinkets provide more specialized stat bonuses, similar to jewelry.

• Svim sells trinket upgrades in exchange for the new regional currency as well as the base version of 4 trinkets.

• Added 3 new player stats

  • Boat Speed

  • Cart Speed

  • Mount speed

• New Uncharted Islands Temporary Regions

  • 4 New regions at positions R3, R11, R15, R23 which will last from June 11th until Aug 20th (After which, all players will be moved out to the nearest region and everything inside will be cleared). Any items or progress obtained in the regions can be taken back to the other regions and will not be removed. This will function similarly to past seasonal events.

  • In these regions you can find 4 new biomes with a mixture of existing and new resources:

    • Uncharted Ocean - Behaves like Ocean for existing bonuses (e.g. boat speeds)

    • Deserted Beach

    • Tropical Canopy

    • Volcanic Crag - Doesn’t allow building

  • Can be found while doing various profession activities or by trading materials from the profession activities to one of the travelers

• Empire Resources - Maker’s Tree - Can be gathered by the ranking members of the empire that controls the territory it is in

Fixed

• Fixed an issue that was causing the image assets and UI from loading slowly on the login screen

• Fixed a handful of errors being thrown due to misconfigured materials in the client.

• Added several items to the compendium and market search/availability that were missing

• Traveler Trades will now force refresh whenever an update is pushed. This should avoid any need for replacing them or waiting going forward
