Content Updates

Bones & Remains System: Injected bones and new remains loot tables across 550+ monsters

Enchanted to Attuned: Renamed "Enchanted" crafted tier to "Attuned" across all affected items and blueprints so as not to overlap with Enchanting

Gem Presets: Updated Brilliant Amethyst, Emerald, Garnet, Ruby, and Sapphire to include T7

Items & Crafting

• Updated 27+ crafting blueprints with generic crafting material references; i.e. Crimsonite Shield taking Elystram or Shadewood logs

Force Remove Locked Items: Added server-side ability to clear the "Locked" status when trading items • Stale Enhancements: Some items have been changed over time and retained their old state. We introduced a way to update the effect of these types of items, such as Unstable Element, so we don't have to "Swap" for new copies when fixing bugs

UI Improvements

Loot Roll Ordering: Fixed new loot rolls pushing older rolls off-screen - newer Need/Greed popups will wait in queue until you select an option

Status Effect Tracker: Capped status effect tracker display to 5-minute maximum duration

Guides: Woodcutting tiers have been added to the player guide (press L to access)

ESC Key: Fixed a bug which could cause the Escape key to get stuck and not function properly

Bug Fixes

Ghost Mount Fix: Resolved a bug where players remained stuck in mounted state after dismounting — retained mount speed and couldn't use abilities, persisting through full relog

Party Duplication: Fixed a bug allowing players to appear in two parties simultaneously; added single-party enforcement and offline member cleanup

Nearby Players Dead Zone: Fixed NearbyPlayers correctness - eliminated a ~72 tile dead zone where players were invisible to each other

Quest Objective Fix: Resolved quest objective tracking issues

Items: Fixed a bug where the Defender's Javelin had 0 DPS; Adjusted Ol' Johnny to 35 damage tier

Respawn Fix: Fixed a bug preventing respawns in Old Mine and Warrens of Thought; Adjusted failsafe timer to 10s

Fishing: Corrected fish rarity which allowed rare catches of cooking fish outside of Augem

Infrastructure

Trading Post Cleanup: Cleaned up Trading Post backend code; Trading Post now displays Last Sale Price in search and the current lowest sale price instantly when selecting an item for fast buys

Player Dashboard: Setup a player dashboard so we can better track info and improve the game based on key data
