Steam Patch 2.27.2026

New Content

Block MH Tasks: Added Monster Hunting block system, up to 3 blocked tasks for 50 writs each

Combat & Balance

Off-Hand Penalty: Weapon procs should now be correctly excluded from off-hand damage reduction

Armor Adjustments: Armor values were giving too much defense and had to be adjusted (affects both players and monsters) - monsters were adjusted accordingly. Hardcore players should be careful after restart to ensure that balance is clean. We're ready to quickly fix any issues that may arise from this change

UI Improvements

Info Bar Fixes: Resolved issues with conversation bubbles

Crafting Window: Fixed crafting window issue where recipes with ":" would get truncated

Drag Hotkey: Added hotkey support for dragging UI elements (CTRL + SHIFT)

Bug Fixes

Forced Movement Sync: Fixed multiple issues with forced movement (knockback/drag) synchronization • Movement to Unwalkable: Fixed client getting stuck after attempting to move to an unwalkable tile

Gatherable Desync: Fixed animation desynchronization issues between client and server

Corpse Fixes: Resolved issues with corpse display and interaction (server and client)

Attack Cooldown: Fixed attack cooldown timer inconsistencies

Move Direction: Fixed a bug where your character would snap to face the camera direction after arriving at a click-to-move destination, instead of keeping the direction they were walking

Party Promotion: Fixed party leader promotion not working correctly

Repair Fix: Resolved items staying broken after being repaired to 100% until they are re-equipped

Locked Info Messages: Added proper messaging when interacting with locked items

XP Globes: Attempted fix to ensure XP globes properly represent XP gains

Gathering Tools: When your active gathering tool breaks, the game now automatically switches to the next unbroken tool of the same type in your bags instead of blocking you from gathering

Food Buffs: Food buffs and potion effects no longer disappear when you log out and back in

Stuck Cursor: Fixed a bug where the mouse cursor gets stuck on one icon (preventing targeting, gathering, camera rotation, and two-button walk) after alt-tabbing, dying mid-drag, or zone transitioning

Client Quit: Fixed a bug where exiting the game would cause the game to hang until forced to close

Other Changes

Skill XP Debug Info: Every time you gain skill XP, a chat message now shows what caused it (Combat, Shield, Trigger, Quest, etc.) - this is temporary

Hydras Added a few additional spawns to all hydra locations except green hydras

Tailoring Station: Adjusted Tailoring station to support up to 15 items

More Shadow Legendary Previews

Check out today's heat from Clebarius! these should be available to craft this weekend.
