New Features & Fixes: October 21, 2026

Today’s update brings smoother onboarding, deeper player tools, and exciting new rewards—many of which you’ll notice right away in-game and on the new Player Site.

We’ve streamlined the town crafting tutorial, cutting the early steps to get you into crafting hides, arrows, and salmon quests faster. These side quests are now located in Soltown, after the deed, for a more natural flow. On the Player Site, we’ve built a practice minigame for fishing and harvesting—complete with rules and lessons—so you can test your skills before heading out into the world.

If your pet falls in battle, don’t worry: their body now shows a paw print on the minimap and in the Map window, and a message in chat guides you on how to raise them right where you stand. This small but meaningful change makes pet recovery much clearer.

Crafting players rejoice—buy orders are now available for every tradeable crafting material, expanding options by 649 items. Whether you're gathering resources or stocking your shop, this gives you more control over the economy.

New cosmetic and companion options are live: the Peacock companion pet is now available in the Crown Store, complete with a stylish tail display. Also, specializations now have pair names—like Paladin or Ringmaster—shown in your Skills window and on your character sheet, adding flavor to your build.

Behind the scenes, we’ve strengthened our infrastructure with a standby login server. If the main one fails, this backup takes over instantly with minimal disruption, and staff get alerts to keep things running smoothly.

The Player Site is now live! Signed-in players see a new 40px bar at the top with the Desk and a Player | Public switch. Each guild and player-owned town now has its own folder, with customizable icons—governors can even pick a unique icon for their town.

The signed-in Home now opens to the studios’ news feed, with the lead story (written by staff) front and center.

Finally, Twitch Drops are now live with exclusive rewards: the Spectator's Cloak, Spectator's Clockwork Cat, a purple lantern string, and two new Twitch Purple dye colors. The Rogue of Novia is also live on the Desk, with its own leaderboard board.

All these changes are now active—explore, craft, and celebrate!
