Battle Chemistry Fix: "Bomb attacks deal +50 damage and cause your next Healing Mist to restore +60 Health over 30 seconds" => this was actually boosting healing 6x more than intended. Corrected to match description.
Battle Chemistry Fix: "Bomb attacks deal +61 damage and cause your next Healing Mist to restore +50 Armor over 15 seconds" => this was actually boosting healing 5x more than intended. Corrected to match description.
Summon Deer 6 now requires Summon Deer 5 instead of 4.
Fixed: When analyzing the genetics of a corpse, XP earned was based on the level of the player rather than the level of the corpse being analyzed.
Survival Instincts: Lend Grace 5 is now grouped with its other Lend Grace buddies.
Three-Nostriled Barrier now remains open appropriately.
Swollen Hands curse no longer prevents you from wearing a helmet.
Glamour Berries from Riston are now usable (and more generally, attuned ingredients can be used in crafting).
Tomato plants grow much slower.
Renamed some "Amazing" hat recipe-teaching items to "Astounding".
Human-Style Pizza with Tofu is now correctly labeled as a meal.
Added a comma to food-related crafting recipes, to separate the recipe level from the type of food it creates (meal, snack etc.).
Evu Fruit is now affected by foraging bonuses.
Bug fix: Added missing titles for some long-term animal form behavior badges (e.g. while you have the Eternal Fox behavior badge, you also now have the Eternal Fox player title).
Fixed typos for Snowleaf & Irkima.
Fixed a spot in the Serbule Hills Goblin Logging Camp that was easy to get stuck in.
Fixed selection colliders & face cams for Osslars and Gricklings.
Fixed some wands that were appearing as big white cubes.
Bug fix: Festive Holiday Maggot is more festive.
This is the 400th published build of Project: Gorgon! As a thank you for reading the patch notes, use the command /400 in chat to receive a dumb title
Update Notes: December 4, 2023
Happy holidays from Project: Gorgon! Today we celebrate the turning of the season, from bountiful autumn harvest to gift-giving extravaganza. In other words, we're finally done with Halloween - it's time for presents! If you've become Friends with any townsfolk in the game, they will have gifts for you the next time you speak with them. (Make sure to have your favorite combat skills active when you talk to them, in case their gift is a randomly-generated treasure item!)
The Ri-Shin event is also underway -- look for townsfolk wearing red santa hats (err Ri Shin Hats) for more information. There's one in each town or settlement.
In addition, we have a bunch of improvements, tweaks, bug fixes, etc.
Combat Changes/Fixes
Transforming into an animal no longer changes your active skills if one of them is already the appropriate animal skill. For example, changing into Deer while Bard and Priest are active will change one to Deer; changing into Deer while Bard and Deer are active won't change either.
High-level deer-summoning mods now summon the appropriate level deer.
Chemistry Staves now support Druid mods.
Fixed the mod "Finishing Blow causes your next attack to deal +X damage if it deals direct Psychic, Trauma, or Poison damage"; it now actually affects Trauma and Poison damage, and the Psychic damage is reduced to what it should be.
Fixed the mod "If Finishing Blow or Decapitate kills its target, you gain +X% direct damage for 15 seconds".
Fixed a bug causing lower-level enchantments to be transmuted for Weather Witching and Druid.
Increased healing amount of Healing Mist 10 (110->120).
Changed James Eltibule's Sword damage boost from 0.1 back to 17.
Nissim no longer teaches Debilitating Blow 4 - it was only getting in the way of his Psychology lessons, after all.
We're still not sure what could cause players to not retain the repeating aktaari quest, but added a backup system that will reapply the quest whenever players are in the Aktaari lobby area.
Revised a certain boss encounter a bit. Should be a piece of cake now :) :) :)
UI Changes/Fixes
You can now view item levels and rarities overlaid on the item icons in your inventory. Toggle this view by clicking the "Show item rarities & levels" button in the inventory window, next to the "Show Equipped Items" button.
Important monster buffs, such as Damage Reflection, now show up first in the list of Active Effects on the target.
The Damage Reflection buff on monsters now has a unique icon.
Fixed icons for Fire Magic unlocks at Sand Seer & Bendith.
Added "(or better)" to the arrow requirements of some Archery abilities.
Dropping an item onto another in inventory or storage now always puts that item in the dropped slot, never the slot before it.
Acid Sigil icon is now green.
Your current equipment now has a yellow border in the compare-item view, to make it more obvious.
Other Changes/Fixes
Fixed a bunch of level 90 crafting recipes that had placeholder material ingredients.
You can now raise Textile Creation to level 70 via trainer spheres beneath Povus.
Some corrected item-creation recipes now require Enhanced Yarn; you can learn the recipe from the same trainer sphere in Povus.
Fixed some items that would let you learn their recipe but not their ability, thereafter breaking the item for the original learner. (We're still working on a way to fix those characters already affected by the issue and will have something in the next update.)
Cosmetic pets now stay alive when you switch areas or log off (so you don't need to resummon them).
When you have a cosmetic pet active and summon a different pet, the first pet is automatically dispelled (rather than making you dispel it manually first).
Updated directions for getting to the Sacred Grotto.
Removed an extraneous warning sign from Serbule Hills.
New JSON file is available on the cdn (at https://cdn.projectgorgon.com/), called tsysprofiles.json. See the updated index page for more information.
Updated JSON file: tsysclientinfo.json now includes the internal names of each tsys power, so they can be mapped with the new profile JSON file.
Update Notes: November 27, 2023
This is a pretty little update chock full of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks. Let's see what we've got!
Sword Skill Revamps
(Hands) "Decapitate Reuse Timer -12" => "Decapitate deals +250 damage and reuse timer is -12 seconds"
(Head, Necklace) "Decapitate deals +525 damage to non-Elite targets" => +1200 to non-Elite targets
(Legs) "Decapitate deals +255 damage and terrifies the target for 7 seconds" => "Decapitate deals +300 damage and the next attack you use stuns its target"
(Feet, Ring) "Finishing Blow and Decapitate damage +190" => +264
(Chest, OffHand) Finishing Blow deals 530 Psychic damage after a 4-second delay" => "Finishing Blow causes your next attack to deal +380 damage if it deals direct Psychic, Trauma, or Poison damage"
(Legs) "Wind Strike causes your next attack to deal +142 damage" => "Wind Strike deals +142 damage and causes your next attack to deal +142 damage". In addition, this is now available on both Legs and Feet slots
(Main Hand) "Wind Strike gives you +50% projectile evasion for 5 seconds" => for 10 seconds
Wind Strike ability: increased amount of bonus damage added to the next attack
New treasure effect: (Head, Necklace) "Indirect Poison Damage, Indirect Trauma Damage, and Indirect Psychic Damage +50% while Sword skill active"
New treasure effect: (Off-Hand, Ring) "Parry and Riposte boost your Indirect Trauma Damage +24/tick for 30 seconds"
New treasure effect: (Hands) "If Finishing Blow or Decapitate kills its target, you gain +63% direct damage for 15 seconds (this effect does not stack with itself)"
New treasure effect: (MainHand) "Decapitate deals +165 damage. If the target is killed, Decapitate can be used again immediately."
To help you adjust to these changes, transmutation costs for Sword will be reduced through December.
Group XP Changes
We've increased the bonus XP you earn for being in a group up to 100% for each participating group member. This means that if you're in a group of players that kill a monster, the monster is now worth 100% of its total XP to every group member!
This is an experiment. The intent is to remove barriers to grouping -- now, it's inarguably mathematically better to group up than to compete for kills. Are there major down sides to this? We dunno -- guess we'll find out!
This does not otherwise change how XP is calculated (in terms of XP dropoff, skill level discrepancies, personal XP bonuses, etc).
Other Bug-Fixes and Tweaks
All high-level skill unlocks now require that you also have already unlocked the previous tier. In other words, in order to unlock 'Skill 81-90', you must have already unlocked 'Skill 71-80' (in addition to your current skill being 80+). If you run into a skill that looks like it will let you unlock skill caps out of order, please let us know through the in-game bug report. (That's the '!' on the top of the right-hand sidebar.)
Jewelry Crafting: Astounding Arisetsu Medallion actually taught the recipe for Astounding Enchanted Necklace. The recipe is right - only the name of the recipe book was wrong. The new name is: Jewelry Crafting: Astounding Enchanted Necklace.
Orcish Plate Gauntlets erroneously said in their description: "(Must be near a forge consecrated to Umrad.)" They now correctly say "(Must be near a forge consecrated to Tast.)"
Fixed a bug causing your last-used emote to play again when you change gear.
NPCs are now listed in their correct, precise area in the Quest Log & Item Info windows. This fixes some bugs that resulted from separate areas being located in the same zone technically, e.g. Carpal Tunnels being reported as Khyrulek's Crypt, or Winter Nexus reported as Kur Caves. If any NPCs are still wrong, please let us know ASAP through the in-game bug report. (That's the '!' on the top of the right-hand sidebar.)
Unfetter 3 now lasts for 20 seconds.
Galdyr's Tasty Energy Flask will now come with Battle Chemistry mods.
The recipes Reliable Flask and Reliable Flask (Repair) now have a chance to consume their hammer ingredient.
Updated the text displayed when you first learn Necromancy, to match how raising skeletons works now (via Necromancy Dust).
"Mock and Ridicule deal +X% damage and taunt +Y" now properly affects Mock.
Icons for Acid Bomb 10 & Mycotoxin Formula 10 now have the correct number.
Fixed Triage 9, which was broken.
Changed verbiage of whether Wanted Posters are usable or not, and hooked up verbiage properly.
Update leveled requirements of new tailoring scrolls to match their associated recipes.
Greta is no longer considered an arthropod.
Added a basic dance animation to eagles.
Fixed some quests that were giving out high-level items with low-level enchantments; most notably, several brand-new quests and Fae Realm Beehive quests.
Fixed Mudbath 6 healing amount.
Basilisk and Lamia slow abilities are now affected by Slow & Root immunity.
Enchantments that can't be obtained via transmuting are no longer shown in the Transmutation window.
Fixed a typo in soybean sprout item description.
Bug fix: "Rotskin deals 354 Trauma damage to health over 12 seconds": the ability tooltip listed this as 8 seconds, the treasure listed it as 12, and the actual DoT lasted 15 seconds. The correct duration is 12, and other values have been changed to match.
Animal Handling pets may now earn XP past level 80.
Fixed a typo in Ruxandra's Bite item.
Small Fireworks now stack to 99 instead of 20. Recipe for Small Fireworks makes 99 instead of 20.
You can now unlock Gardening 81-90, and Cooking 81-90 at a mysterious entity deep beneath Povus.
Fixed recipe ingredients for Awesome Werewolf gear.
Fixed intermittent issue with mount anxiety bar not showing.
Ruxandra's Bite is now augmentable.
Recipes with no crafting time can now be used while sitting; this allows calligraphy benches to be used while being sat upon.
If you can't craft a recipe, hovering over the button now tells you why.
Altered Flaming swords' text (such as Flaming Gazluk Sword) to clarify the DoT damage they do.
Removed references to Master Flopsy from Master Boop's text.
Fixed a typo in Meat Candy (tonue -> tongue).
Fixed stats on crafted belt buckles that got messed up in an earlier November update. (And buffed many of them!)
Fixed many treasure effects that didn't correctly scale past level 80. At this time we believe ALL treasure effects should correctly scale to level 100. If you come across one that doesn't, please report it through the in-game bug report. (That's the '!' on the top of the right-hand sidebar.) Please report this even if you've reported it in the past.
Fix to Rabbit treasure: (OffHand, Necklace) "Thump causes the target to take +20% damage from Cold attacks for 10 seconds": this effect did not stack if you had it on both slots.
Fix to Rabbit treasure: (Head, OffHand) "Bun-Fu Kick causes the target to take +18% damage from Trauma attacks for 20 seconds": this effect did not stack if you had it on both slots.
All (non-Demo) players should check their redemptions to see what special gifts they may have available this month! You can do that by typing /redeem in chat, or by checking the "View Redemptions" button on the bottom of the Persona panel, accessible from the right-hand sidebar. VIPs, you've got two!
Update Notes: November 17, 2023
This is a small update that fixes a number of bugs, as well as tweaking and extending the new content from our last update.
Dungeon-Related Fixes and Improvements
Warning -- these patch notes contain spoilers. If you haven't started the new dungeon in Errruka the Benefactor's cave, just skip this section.
The acid slime in Errruka's Cave now displays in the correct location. It was displaying too low, leaving players thinking they were high and dry when they actually weren't.
Previously, the animal combat-skill trainer challenge required you to be an animal for at least 7 days of real-world time and 12 hours of gameplay time. The former requirement of real-world time was not communicated, leaving some animals unsure why they couldn't open the door. For simplicity we've dropped the real-world time requirement.
Added a few special respawning eggs to the Aktaari event. These "egg events" are a prototype way to add replayability to the Aktaari event. In the future we may implement a large number of these sorts of "events", and randomly choose which are active during each Aktaari run.
Fixed a bug that prevented Aktaari Princess's door from activating.
Completing the mummy puzzle reopens doors leading to the puzzle (if they happen to have closed).
The exit to the Lady room remains unlocked for several minutes after leaving (in case players return immediately).
Rixie's Floating rings respawn more quickly.
Evu Fruit requires Foraging 85, down from 95.
The Elite version of Mangler Scorpions have been replaced with much larger Mutilator Scorpions (to make it easier to differentiate them from the non-Elite scorpions).
You can now unlock Hammer 81-90, Battle Chemistry 81-90, and Butchering 81-90 at the appropriate trainers.
You can no longer unlock Fishing 81-90 until you've unlocked Fishing 71-80.
Fixed a bug where giving Support Local Fauna Initiative flier to Hazy Mirror yielded no item.
Fixed typo in Serendipity Cheddar's dialog.
Added an additional boss encounter (although there's still at least one boss that has yet to be discovered)
Non-Dungeon-Related Fixes
Fixed a whole bunch of typos in skill hints.
The ability Summon Doomstorm no longer refers to "frangments" instead of "fragments".
Awesome Spring Fairy Shoes, the recipe, and the recipe scroll, are all now properly Awesome instead of just Amazing.
Changed labels of armor- and power-restore after death-avoidance attribute, so they no longer just say "Healing".
Fixed display of triple digit levels on your hotbar.
The recipe for Astounding Skinning Knife was erroneously called Awesome.
Coffee beans and soybeans are worth more Foraging XP.
Fixed: Stun Trap 5 had same stats as Stun Trap 6.
Orcish Wheat now grows in visible stages.
Fixed the broken locked-NPC UI icon.
Performance Appreciation info effect should now disappear when you're not appreciating any performances.
Fixed some bugs causing instrument playing animations to get out of sync.
"Square" map indicators have been renamed "Pointed Square", and a new Square (which is the old square) has been added in its place.
Updated player nameplate colors in real-time as a response to entering or exiting PvP mode.
When your targeted player is in PvP mode, an icon will indicate as much (replacing an old bugged-out icon showing their level as 0).
Animal forms that are in skeleton illusion can now mount properly.
Updated Brambleskin 10's damage.
Changed level at which the third cheesemaking cask is unlocked to 40 (previously 41).
Fixed mount form for skeletons when their underlying form is spider.
Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause unlisted vendor items to list for 0 councils.
Updated Bounding Escape 6 numbers (7 speed for 12 seconds -> 9 speed for 17 seconds)
System Shock abilities dealt 1 point of Damage-over-Time even when no DoT treasure effects were in use.
Warden (Necklace): "While Privacy Field is active, melee attacks that damage you have a 75% chance to restore 34 Power to you" => this treasure effect did not work correctly
Icesnake can now occur with Ice Magic treasure effects.
Head Candle will now persist through zoning & changing gear.
Deep Wasps now count for the "Bats Eat Bugs" quest.
We'll be back with more fixes and updates soon!
Update Notes: November 10, 2023
It's here! After a rather longer wait than we intended, we are proud to share this new update with you. It's got everything -- dungeons, skills, puzzles, and a scary holiday party.
Halloween
Alharth is not the real world, and Zhia Lian isn't the goddess of Halloween. Nevertheless it's always been our tradition to hold our scary holiday event at the end of October. But this year we ran into a long series of bugs, leading to a long delay in the update, and the scary holiday had to wait as well.
But never fear! Zhia Lian has finally poked her way into our world with her whimsical demands. The event begins now, and we'll be scheduling the Zhia Lian parties for later this month. Keep an eye on the event calendar or check our Discord #events channel for the latest dates and times.
New Dungeon
You can now enter Errruka the Benefactor's home in Povus. This is a very large dungeon with a great many things to discover. It's also probably tuned to be more difficult than we really want -- it hasn't been playtested too much. But we know you've got this. Good luck!
Skills & Abilities
Crossbow: Knockback Bolts 9 was using ammo one tier lower than intended; this is fixed.
Floxie in the Fae Realm can now train Fletching to 70.
Orcish Battle Cry: fixed bug that prevented this from working.
Priest: Healing amounts for various abilities fluctuated by a few health points due to formula changes.
Priest: Castigate 7 and 8 deal more damage to undead.
Psychology: (OffHand, Necklace) "Mock and Ridicule deal +65 damage and taunt +200" => "Mock and Ridicule deal +43% damage and taunt +200"
Psychology: new treasure effect: (Chest) "Ridicule damage +93 and range +10 meters"
Psychology: new treasure effect: (Ring) "Ridicule damage +93 and target does not call for help"
Psychology: (Chest, Legs) "Psychoanalyze restores 212 Armor to you" => "Psychoanalyze deals +100% damage and restores 130 Armor to you"
Psychology: (Head, Legs) "Strike a Nerve generates no Rage and instead reduces Rage by 610." => "... It also deals +200 Armor damage"
Psychology: (Feet, OffHand) "Strike a Nerve deals +236 armor damage" => "Strike a Nerve deals +100 damage and hastens the reuse timer of But I Love You -1.5 seconds"
Psychology: (Chest, Hands) "Strike a Nerve deals between 60 and 200 extra damage" => "Strike a Nerve deals +80 damage, and has a 33% chance to deal double damage"
Rabbit: "Play Dead boosts your Psychic attack damage +100 for 20 seconds" => +320
UI
Abilities that require specific animal forms now say so in their tooltips.
Clicking a notepad tab now scrolls the text all the way to the top.
Remaining hangout time should no longer show absurd amounts of seconds remaining.
Updated map player indicators once again, to further clarify which direction you are facing.
The old map player indicator styles are available via Settings > GUI > Windows & HUD > Map Player Indicator Styles.
Fixed a bug causing the Performance Appreciation explanation effect to appear when it shouldn't.
Skill Tracker should no longer move around the screen.
Fixed item previews when opening the More Info screen and not clicking around.
Pain Bubble will now show up in debuff lists on current target & party members.
Freezing Mist tooltip now includes Bomb-related mods.
Fixed a bug causing Shocking Grasp to show Spirit Bolt mods.
Updated tooltip for music boxes to reflect the effective level of music supplied.
Other
New items! There are new high level items to discover in loot. Some of these are based on designs created by our early backers. Others are named after important community members as gifts to those players. (And others are just entirely made up by us.)
Eternal Greens and Chalice of Life both now cause Resurrection Sickness. Resurrection Sickness prevents you from consuming more greens or a Chalice of Life for 15 minutes.
Chalice of Life can now only be consumed by druids.
Chalice of Life now stacks to 3.
Many crafted items have significantly boosted innate stats.
Added missing behavior titles for career-long Foxes, Rabbits, and Butterflies. (Earned after staying in that form quite a long time, and lost if you leave the form.)
For players who want to get their friends into the game faster, or players who just hate tutorials, you can use the chat command /leavetut to skip the tutorial island and appear in Serbule. (You can always go back to the island later.)
Gain bonus levels in Brewing when you reach Alcohol Tolerance 80, Alchemy 49, Battle Chemistry 70, Cooking 70.
Completing nightly Povus event quests earns a bit more Xogrite at each reward tier.
When you Miraculously Avoid Death, you also instantly recover 10% of your Max Health. This amount can be changed through treasure and buffs.
Purchasing items from Drima now costs 2 Sir Johnson Bucks instead of 3.
Crafting Caravan: Added an option to purchase a legendary version of the Enhanced Windstep Shoes and Amulet of the Rugged Traveler for 2x the token cost.

Hook beasts attack faster.
Donkeys and cattle now have an innate buff that knocks back any Burst attacker that hits it.
Fixed a bug causing monsters to stop attacking their current targets when a subserver restarts.
Update Notes: September 1, 2023
This minor update includes some neat new stuff, as well as a horde of tweaks and fixes.
Serbule Community Storage Chest
This update, we've added an interesting new community feature - the Serbule Community Storage Chest. This is a way for rich players to give back to the community, donating some of their wealth to lease an extra storage slot that anyone can use.
You can find this chest in Serbule in the 'golem house' - the room near the central well that also houses the Account Package Manager and the Legacy Item Helper golems. Players can donate 1 million councils or 20 Live Event Credits to lease a slot in this chest for a month, and all players can take advantage of that slot during that time.
Note that these slots are leased, not purchased, so wealthy players will need to break out their wallet once a month to keep the slots accessible. When the lease expires after a month, the total number of slots available to players in the chest will go down by one. If that means that you now have too many items in the chest, you will only be able to pull items out, not put any more in -- until either you don't have too many items, or someone chips in another cool million (or 20 LECs).
Players can donate as much and as often as they like, up to a maximum of 150 inventory slots total. The Community Chest lists top contributors (by guild and by player) as an incentive to donate, along with 500 Civic Pride XP, a world broadcast, and a mention in the highlight log. (That's the scroll on the login screen, which also gets posted to Discord.)
Remember, these storage slots can be used by *all* players -- so convince your rich friends to donate today!
Notepad Improvements
One of the weird things about Project: Gorgon is that it sometimes expects you to write things down. We do offer an in-game notepad, at least -- and now we've made that notepad more useful by adding tabs.
You can now organize your notes in up to 5 tabs!
All of your existing notes will be in the first tab.
You can rename the tabs by right-clicking on them.
The hotkey to open the notepad defaults to 'n' and can be changed in System > Keys.
Gameplay Fixes & Tweaks
To help make animal loot stack up better against the loot of bipedal monsters, most types of animals now have a high chance to drop phlogiston. (Look, I don't know. Maybe they ate it?)
Povus: Being in combat no longer stops you from using the Povus quest sign.
Povus: Giving gear to Ishiko the boatwoman in the morning now earns double town XP.
Povus: Ishiko the boatwoman now gives Civic Pride XP for each donation, rather than waiting until you've donated 100 times.
Battle Chemistry: Fixed a bug with the new treasure effects that boosted minigolem damage +25% (along with some other buffs). This boost did not apply correctly. After it worked correctly it was clearly overpowered, though, so it's been reduced to a +15% damage boost.
Increased the chance for monsters in a group to perform self-buffs before engaging in combat.
Priest: Fixed the treasure effect "Triage restores X Health over 15 seconds" -- the highest-tier levels of this effect were weaker than intended.
Fixed a bug from the last major update that caused delayed-healing effects to trigger twice (once when added, and again after the delay).
Added Glamour Berries to the very-rare consumables loot table (the same table that drops Eternal Greens and Minor Panaceas).
Reduced the cost of some LEC items on Cinnamon in Sun Vale.
Reduced pricing on Riston in the Red Wing Casino for multiple items.
New item added to Riston: Liquid Super Buffs! (24 hours) for 150 LEC.
Slightly increased the chance to loot Pixie Dust on appropriate mobs.
Fixed a bug that caused Chitterface to not drop its quest item if you had killed it in the past 3 hours.
Fixed a bug that prevented necromancer pets from being targeted by burst attacks, group buffs, and area heals - Dev comment: the bug was that they couldn't be burst-attacked. In fixing that bug, they became targetable by beneficial spells as well. This wasn't part of the original design of the skill (in particular they were supposed to be immune to most types of healing), but we want to see how this change feels in play.
Fixed a bug that prevented some creatures from tracking aggro properly.
Young Krakens for the Serbule Druid quest will now stick around for the entire duration of the event.
UI Tweaks & Fixes
Main storyline quests are now marked in the Quest Log.
Your current hangout is now viewable from inside the Quest Log, at the top of the list of quests
An item's associated quests are now shown in the "More Info" window. (Only the quests you are currently on, not ALL quests!)
When viewing a work order at the board, you can now view its associated recipe (if you have it unlocked) by right-clicking on the work order icon.
Docile enemies (those that don't attack-on-sight) now have their own nameplate color. It defaults to white; you can change that in Settings > GUI > Colors.
Made "deliver" quests more obvious by adding the number of items to deliver to the text.
Fixed a bug that caused the XP Tracker to reset its position on launch.
The current number of free inventory slots is now always visible in the window, even at the smallest size.
Fixed a bug that caused nameplates to not sort properly, so closer ones would appear behind further ones.
Updated the map UI with new icons for characters and pins.
Fixed a bug that made certain ambient sound FX lower than intended.
Performance & Dance Appreciation effects are now more obvious.
The current Appreciation level is visible on the buffs themselves.
A new icon will appear when you are actively appreciating a performance. It shows the level of the current performance and explains how your current buff levels change over time.
Other Stuff
Failed network calls on the login screen should no longer cause the Loading screen to hang after picking your character.
Your character should no longer get "stuck" and keep moving with your mouse even when you aren't holding in right-click.
Updated to Unity version 2021.3.29. This should fix several bugs in Linux, including: - Some parts of the screen are inaccessible to the mouse when in full-screen mode. - Clicking and dragging the mouse doesn't lock the cursor.
Update Notes: August 12, 2023
This is just a quick bug-fix update, with some added chemistry!
More Battle Chemistry Changes
Small change to the "Healing Mist hastens X" treasure effects to allow them to apply to all targets of the mist, not just the caster:
(Hands): "Healing Mist hastens the remaining reset timer of Pep Talk by 10 seconds (if Pep Talk is not already ready to use)" => "Healing Mist accelerates the current reuse time of Pep Talk (for any targets that use Pep Talk)"
(Head): "Healing Mist hastens the remaining reset timer of Reconstruct by 10 seconds (if Reconstruct is not already ready to use)" => "Healing Mist accelerates the current reuse time of Reconstruct (for any targets that use Reconstruct)"
(Ring): "Healing Mist hastens the remaining reset timer of Regrowth by 10 seconds (if Regrowth is not already ready to use)" => "Healing Mist accelerates the current reuse time of Regrowth (for any targets that use Regrowth)"
And a few more new treasure effects for battle chemistry healing:
New: (Legs): "Healing Mist accelerates the current reuse time of Mend Flesh (for any targets that use Mend Flesh)"
New: (OffHand, Necklace): "Bomb attacks deal +50 damage and cause your next Healing Mist to restore +50 Health over 30 seconds"
New: (Head, Chest): "Bomb attacks deal +61 damage and cause your next Healing Mist to restore +70 Armor over 15 seconds"
New: (Hands): "Acid Bomb deals +61 damage and causes your next Minor Heal ability to restore +41 Health"
Bugfixes and Improvements
Fixed a bug preventing BC golems from using their new abilities.
The Battle Chemistry trainer in Rahu is no longer afraid of scary animals.
Lowered the cost of training new golem abilities a fair amount.
Animal forms are treated as always having an "unarmed weapon" equipped.
Werewolves are treated as always having an "unarmed claw weapon" equipped.
Combined Extra Toes & Knee Spikes effect descriptions into a single effect.
Fixed bug with treasure effect "Toxic Irritant deals +N damage. If target has 5 or more Damage-over-Time effects, it also stuns them". This effect incorrectly always stunned the target.
Fixed a bug with the Battle Chemistry treasure effects that boost flat acid and poison mitigation: the acid one was buffing poison and vice versa. They've been swapped to match their descriptions.
Fixed a bug with the effects "You heal N health/armor/power every other second while under the effect of Haste Concoction". These effects incorrectly applied their healing every second instead of every other second.
The minigolem's abilities no longer display buff info about minigolem-summoning abilities.
Tweaked audio falloff settings of nightmare creatures.
Fixed a bug causing your own avatar to not respect the "Avatar Portraits" setting.
Sped up recipe sorting.
Fixed assorted typos.
Update Notes: August 10, 2023
This update sees some serious upgrades for Battle Chemists, improvements to pet and enemy AI, an XP system tweak, and - as always - a lot of bug fixes large and small.
Battle Chemistry Changes
We've heavily revised Battle Chemistry in this update. This will seem like an especially large change, because it is! Battle Chemistry was "skipped over" during the last round of skill rebalancing because we were considering splitting the skill into two separate skills. But after prototyping that split, it doesn't seem more fun than what we already had. So instead we're embracing the skill's quirky nature and refining the ways you can take advantage of its many tools.
While most of these changes should be good news to battle chemists, note that there's an effective nerf, too: we've fixed a bug that allowed you to take off your Mutation-buffing equipment but still keep the benefits of that equipment. The intended behavior is that taking off equipment disables all the buffs it provided. (This should be true for all skills, btw! If you find places where that isn't the case, please report it.)
Battle Chemistry has three key features: the programmable golem pet (also called a "minigolem"), Mutations, and chemical attacks and buffs. We'll give the details for each. To help you adjust your character to these changes, Battle Chemistry Transmutation costs will be much lower for the rest of August.
Mini-Golem
Battle Chemistry features a programmable golem which is given a list of rules to follow in combat. Previously, it checked its rules once every 5 seconds, meaning that it only used an ability once every 5 seconds. To improve responsiveness, the golem now chooses an ability every 3 seconds. Golem abilities that previously had a 5-second reuse time now have a 3-second reuse time: Poison Bomb Toss, Taunting Punch, and Healing Injection. These abilities were revised based on this new reset time.
The "Trigger Golem" side-bar ability is no longer a toggled ability. It now has a 15-second reuse time. Using the ability will instruct the golem to immediately check its ruleset and choose an ability, rather than waiting until its regular 3-second timer is up. (You can use the golem conditional "Owner has triggered golem" to program a specific response to this ability.)
The golem was already a pretty good healing-bot, so it has comparatively minor buffs in that area. Its combat abilities, on the other hand, have been improved dramatically as there was much room for improvement. For historic reasons Battle Chemistry has a bunch of three-slot treasure effects for the golem -- meaning that the same power can show up on Chest, Legs, and Head gear, for instance -- and that seems interesting because it allows you to really hone in on a few specific golem abilities. But since "programmability" is the point of the golem, we don't want your gear to lock you out of using other abilities too much. So all those three-slot effects also boost the golem's overall damage or health.
Next is a list of all the changes. Before we begin, a note on syntax. Here's how we document a change to a treasure effect:
(SlotsThisPowerCanShowUpOn): "This effect does blah blah blah at level 100" => changed behavior of the effect at level 100
With that out of the way, here's the golem-related changes:
UI: fixed blank ability labels in golem programming UI window
Fixed the ability icons of some of the mini-golem's abilities
New golem conditional group: "Any group member is below X% Health"
Minigolem abilities: all damaging abilities deal more damage
Minigolem abilities: all abilities now scale to level 80. You can purchase the new ability tiers from the usual dude in Rahu
Minigolem ability Rage Acid Toss: now aoe-splashes to hit all enemies within 20m of its target. (Primary target can still be up to 35m away)
Minigolem Rage Mist abilities: reset time is now 5 seconds instead of 15. (But ability still requires a full Rage bar)
Minigolem Rage Acid Toss abilities: reset time is now 5 seconds instead of 30. (But ability still requires a full Rage bar)
Minigolem Self Destruct abilities: aoe range increased from 10m to 20m
Minigolem Taunting Punch abilities: increased innate temp-taunt so that golem can briefly pull aggro more reliably
(Head, Necklace): "Your golem minion's Taunting Punch deals +100 damage" => "Your golem minion has +25% Max Health and its attacks taunt +600"
New treasure effect: (OffHand): "Your golem minion's Fire Balm absorbs the first 198 Fire damage you suffer in the next 15 seconds"
Mutations
Mutations are the Battle Chemist's signature buff. Mutation abilities go on your sidebar. You use these abilities on yourself and your allies, and they provide potent buffs that last an hour. There's only one small catch: you can only have one Mutation on you at a time. For that reason, all available Mutations need to be pretty good, or else you'd use a better one instead! We've whittled down the previous five Mutations into three: Extra Toes grants nimbleness and speed and makes your Kicks dramatically better. Extra Skin protects you from damage, and Extra Heart helps you regenerate Power and, to a lesser extent, Health.
Here's the details:
The abilities "Mutation: Knee Spikes" and "Mutation: Extra Toes" have been combined, giving the benefits of both in one. For fiction reasons, the name Extra Toes makes more sense than Knee Spikes. But the old Knee Spikes ability had more tiers, which makes for smoother leveling. So we've dropped the old Extra Toes ability and renamed the old Knee Spikes ability to Extra Toes. If you're confused, we don't blame you, but long story short: if you were using Knee Spikes OR Extra Toes, you'll want to make sure that Extra Toes is on your ability bar.
The ability "Mutation: Stretchy Spine" has been retired as being too niche. Its treasure effects were revised to apply to other mutations instead.
Extra Heart abilities: instead of boosting Power Regeneration, now boosts Combat Refresh Power Restoration
Treasure Effects that previously boosted Knee Spikes now boost Extra Toes
Mutations: fixed bugs that caused treasure buffs to remain on targets even if the caster unequipped the treasure responsible for the buff
(Chest): "Your Stretchy Spine mutation randomly repairs broken bones twice as often" => "Your Extra Heart mutation grants you -50% Indirect Poison Vulnerability and randomly repairs broken bones over time"
(Head, Chest): "Your Knee Spikes mutation also causes kicks to restore 22 Health to the kicker" => "Your Extra Toes mutation also causes kicks to restore 44 Health to the kicker"
(Legs): "Your Knee Spikes mutation causes kicks to deal an additional +24% damage" => Your Extra Toes mutation causes kicks to deal an additional +30% damage
(Hands, MainHand): "Your Extra Skin mutation causes the target to heal 67 Health every 20 seconds" => 78 every 15 seconds
(Necklace, OffHand): "Your Extra Skin mutation provides +22 mitigation from Slashing attacks" => +27 mitigation from Slashing and direct Acid damage
(Legs, MainHand): "Your Extra Skin mutation provides +22 mitigation from Piercing attacks" => +27 mitigation from Piercing and direct Poison damage
(Hands, OffHand): "Your Extra Heart and Stretchy Spine mutations grant the target +67 Max Health" => "Your Extra Heart and Extra Skin mutations grant the target +71 Max Health"
(Necklace): "Your Extra Heart mutation causes the target to regain +74 Power every 6 seconds" => every 8 seconds
New treasure effect: (Feet): "Your Extra Toes mutation grants the target +100% Knockback Resistance"
New treasure effect: (Legs): "Your Extra Toes mutation grants the target +58% Slow/Root Resistance"
New treasure effect: (Chest): "Your Extra Heart and Extra Toes mutations grant the target +67 Max Power"
New treasure effect: (Head): "Your Extra Heart mutation grants the target +23% Max Power"
New treasure effect: (Hands): "Your Extra Toes mutation grants the target +15.5% Ranged Evasion"
Splashin' Chemicals
While Battle Chemistry isn't intended to be a damage powerhouse, it still had room for improvement in terms of synergizing with other combat skills. Each of the skill's three main bomb abilities now has a treasure effect that adds a corresponding damage-over-time (DoT) effect. Note that these DoTs are a little special: unlike most DoTs which tick every 2 or 3 seconds, these DoTs tick every second. As a result, flat indirect damage boosts are more potent for these specific DoTs.
Since Extra Toes is all about kicking, it seemed a shame that the Unarmed skill couldn't take full advantage of it for themselves (because they'd need to hold a beaker). So we've added new Alchemist's Claw craftable weapons specifically to enable this skill combination. (They're kind of a pain to craft, though -- not intended for beginners.) We've also added craftable staff-beakers so you aren't as reliant on the handful of random loot items that enabled that combination before.
There are also new crafted items that allow spiders, giant bats, and pigs to use Battle Chemistry! These recipes are rather difficult, though, and may require the assistance of an expert crafter (with hands).
Here's the change list:
Kohan in Rahu now teaches recipes for Alchemist's Claw weapons, which are complex unarmed/battle chemistry hybrid weapons. Crafting requires Gadgeteering 50 and a high level of Toolcrafting.
Ufkar in Rahu now teaches recipes for Chemistry Staff weapons, which allow all manner of staff-based skills as well as Battle Chemistry. Crafting requires Gadgeteerig 50 and a high level of Carpentry.
Staff-Beaker combo weapons (such as the Beaker-Stick and the new Chemistry Staff) are now elligible to have Staff treasure effects on them. (And Fire Magic effects for fire-staff-beakers.)
Yogzi in Sun Vale teaches recipes for Arachnid Mechaharnesses, which allow spiders to use Battle Chemistry. Crafting these intricate belts requires high levels of Toolcrafting skill.
Yogzi in Sun Vale teaches recipes for Aerosolizing Bat Harnesses, which allow giant bats to use Battle Chemistry. Crafting these exotic belts requires high levels of Toolcrafting skill.
Backfat in the Fae Realm teaches recipes for Porcine Blast Dispersers, which allow pigs to use Battle Chemistry. Crafting these bizarre bracelets requires high levels of JewelryCrafting skill.
Toxin Bomb abilities: base damage increased
Toxic Irritant abilities: no longer a melee attack; now a ranged projectile attack with a 10m range
Mycotoxin Formula abilities: base damage increased
Acid Bomb ability: ability now does both direct Health and direct Armor damage. Power cost and base damage increased
Freezing Mist ability: reset time changed from 45s to 30s. Ability fully functions as a Bomb. (The fire DoT treasure effect previously didn't work on it). Damage revised upwards.
(Chest, Feet): "Acid Bomb Damage +53%" => +59%
(Feet, Ring): "You heal 26 health every other second while under the effect of Haste Concoction" => 36
(Hands, Chest): "You regain 18 Power every other second while under the effect of Haste Concoction" => 34
(Necklace, Legs): "Freezing Mist restores 165 Armor to you" => "Freezing Mist restores 165 Health (or Armor if Health is full) to you"
New: (Head, Off-Hand): "Acid Bomb deals 198 Acid Damage to Health and Armor over 6 seconds"
New: (Hands, Necklace): "Mycotoxin Formula deals 392 Nature Damage to Health over 8 seconds"
New: (Chest, MainHand): "Toxin Bomb deals 385 Poison Damage to Health over 7 seconds"
New: (Hands, Ring): "Freezing Mist Damage +195 and Reuse Time -7 seconds"
New: (Hands): "Toxic Irritant deals +61 damage. If target has 5 or more Damage-over-Time effects, it also stuns them"
New: (OffHand): "Toxic Irritant Damage +52 and Range +20"
New: (Ring): "Toxic Irritant causes the target to suffer +15.5% from Acid Damage (including Toxic Irritant) for 15 seconds."
Game Systems Changes
Pet Logic
Pets can now target Feared monsters. (They still cannot attack Mesmerized monsters.) This is an experiment; let us know if you like this change.
Fixed a bug that could cause pets to stop responding to Sic 'Em and/or Clever Trick instructions.
Potential fix for pets returning home too quickly. We'll monitor this to see if more needs to be done.
When an Animal Handling pet tries to determine a target for Sic 'Em or Clever Trick, it can now check its owner's target's target. This means that if you have the group tank selected and use Sic 'Em, the pet can lock on the group tank's target.
Fixed several subtle bugs where monsters and pets wouldn't use the right ability at the right time.
New Experimental Gameplay System: Monster Gang Buffs
Many monsters can now notice when they're ganging up on a target. When these monsters notice they're fighting alongside others, they will sometimes choose to stop fighting and buff themselves. This buff takes 5 seconds to cast, leaving them helpless during that time. Different types of monsters have different buffs; some are mild while others are pretty strong. The intention of this system is to add some variance to larger battles.
These buffs all have the same visual cue: the monster will be surrounded briefly in a green bubble with an up-arrow floating over it.
XP Dropoff Change
A few months ago, we made some changes to how much XP you earn from enemies above and below your level. we asked for your feedback on how this affected you, and based on that feedback we've revised how killing higher-level monsters works. Previously if your combat skill was more than 25 levels above the monster's level, you earned 0 XP. Now the monster's XP will downscale up to 100 levels of difference, effectively letting players kill any monster in the game and get a level-appropriate amount of XP for doing so. Note that after downscaling, higher-level monsters will earn roughly the same amount of XP as same-level monsters. So there's no big incentive to hunt monsters that are dramatically higher-level than you... there's just no punishment for doing so.
Everything Else
VIP Challenge
The VIP Challenge that ran during the Summer Sales didn't do as well as we had hoped. We really wanted to give you more stuff! But we understand that money is tight for a lot of us. As a consolation prize ... err, participation prize, anyone who was a VIP member during the VIP Challenge has a new redemption available. You can find your special redemptions by clicking on the Persona tab on the right-hand sidebar, and then clicking on the icon of a present on the bottom right of that panel.
Combat
Basic Attacks: many Basic Attacks deal slightly more damage at high level.
Pig Frenzy ability: changes to the damage boost amount at each ability tier; highest tier changed from 60 to 118.
Pig: (Legs, Ring) "Frenzy restores 30 power to all targets" => 76
Pig: (Main Hand, Necklace) "Grunt of Abeyance restores 28 Power to all targets" => 52
Pig: fixed some treasure effects that did not yet scale past level 80.
Survival Instincts' Lend Grace ability: significantly increased Power regeneration. The stated +10% evasion buff is now actually applied.
Rattail-Ring of Screeching: Nature Damage bonus reduced from +20% to +10%.
The Sonic Burst Combo mod for bats will now do the correct damage on the final step.
Toxic Flesh abilities: deal more damage to melee attackers.
Hammer treasure effect: (Feet): "Rib Shatter dispels any roots or slows you are currently suffering. Power cost to sprint in combat is reduced -3 for 9 seconds" => "Rib Shatter dispels any roots or slows you are currently suffering. Sprint Speed is increased +3 and Power cost to sprint in combat is reduced -3 for 9 seconds"
Droaches: high level Droach monsters deal more damage when their armor is depleted.
Fixed a bug where monsters with special opening moves wouldn't always use them.
Fixed an issue that might be the cause of reported "DoT persists for way too long" bugs. We'll monitor this to see if more needs to be done.
Fixed bug that prevented earning auxiliary-combat-skill XP if you didn't earn XP in both of your main combat skills.
Other
Added work orders for all new angling fish. These can be found randomly at the work order sign in Sun Vale and the Red Wing Casino.
Added new "bulk" work orders for fish. These bulk orders require 99 fish and have a higher payout rate than normal. These work orders can be found as Angling junk loot.
Reverted changes to fish fillet icons that unintentionally broke match-3.
Elite Training Dummies have been renamed to Healthy Training Dummies, and no longer give combat wisdom.
Fixed a bug where learning teleportation from Elmetaph would break future crafting animations.
"Prioritize Unlooted Corpses" setting will no longer cause tab-targeting to stick to unlooted corpses.
Fixed a bug causing some ability tooltips to show the wrong damage type when the type is changed via an item mod.
Fixed a bug causing Skill XP Tracker to change its position.
Fixed a bug causing tooltips to blink in the wrong spot when Use Tooltip Animation is disabled.
Fixed a bug causing the minimap to be invisible until you toggle its visibility in settings.
Search golem item results will no longer have a "1" in the icon.
The crafting error message for being in the wrong area is now more accurate. (It tells you you must be IN the required area instead of NEAR it.)
The Create New Character UI now scales with the screen size properly.
Fixed a couple instances in the UI where the waving flag is invisible at certain resolutions.
Default enemy nameplate color is now red.
Fixed a bug preventing you from turning left/right after crafting certain recipes.
Replaced the animations of several crafting recipes to be more accurate, rather than just sitting.
Fixed some graphical problems with elven faces and hair.
Lowered volume of some sounds, including eating and drinking sound effects and the water-ball particle effect used by some monsters.
Revised audio settings on fireworks.
Reduced horse selection hitbox size.
Update Notes: July 20, 2023
This is a relatively small update with some relatively large changes. In brief: based on player feedback, we're reverting some of the recent balance changes we made to Power generation and consumption. In addition, we've also taken some time to optimize performance in some areas to improve framerate. And, of course, there are bug fixes.
Power Balance Changes Reverted
We agree with the general feedback that the recent Power changes were too much too fast. We've reverted the Power costs to levels from before the June 28 update, with a few minor deviations. We'll continue to work on Power accessibility tools and may increase Power costs more slowly in the future.
Misc skill changes
There are some new Hammer effects related to Power consumption, as well as a tweak to a new Sword effect.
Hammer: Slight changes to cost and potency of Reckless Slam and its treasure effects.
New treasure effect: (Off-Hand, Necklace) "Core Attacks cause the next Look At My Hammer to restore +50 Power"
New treasure effect: (Feet) "Rib Shatter dispels any roots or slows you are currently suffering, and Power cost to sprint in combat is reduced -3 for 9 seconds"
Sword treasure effect tweak: (Hands, Feet) "All Sword abilities deal +13% damage to targets with less than 33% of their Max Rage." => +18%
Known bug: the Fire Magic ability Flesh to Fuel currently costs Power (it should be free). This will be fixed in the next game update
Optimizations
This update includes a number of optimizations in specific problem areas that should improve graphics performance and framerate. Optimization is an ongoing process; it hasn't been a high priority while we are in Early Access, but as we move closer to launching it becomes more important. We made a start on some of the more notorious spots for bad performance in this update and we'll continue with other problem areas as time permits.
Optimized lighting in Povus city to improve framerate, particularly at night.
Fixed some LODs in Povus to reduce pop-in.
Optimized Gazluk terrain, which should fix most framerate issues in that zone.
Fixed framerate issues in Kur at one of the orc camps.
Optimized UI updates of nameplates. This should have a significant performance boost when using the new UI in areas with a lot of entities.
Persona and Mount cameras now turn off when those windows are not open; previously they were always on and wasting time being rendered.
New Backer Package Incoming
As you may know, you can visit the Gorgon Shop to purchase an optional 'backer package' to help support Project: Gorgon. These packages have some nice benefits, from a free horse to spontaneous snack cakes. They also include VIP time, which comes with some of its own nice benefits, like extra inventory. (You can read more about the VIP program here.)
One of the problems with all of our old backer packages (what we now call Primary Packages) is that you can only apply one package to your account. Players who wanted to purchase another backer package to show their continued support couldn't do that -- until now.
We're now introducing our first Gorgon Shop Add-On Backer Package - the Summer 2023 Add-On! As the name implies, you can purchase an Add-On package in addition to a Primary package and get the benefits of both. But you don't have to use the Add-On as an add-on: you can purchase it even if you don't have to have a Primary Package yet, and you'll be able to add a Primary later if you wish. But note that you can only purchase one of each Add-On package! So the new rule is: You may have one Primary Package and one of each Add-On package per account.
The Summer 2023 Add-On package is very much intended as a way for players to support the game, with a planned price of $75 USD. Here are the planned benefits:
Auto-unlock the advanced Orc character race for your account when they become available. (Orcs have not yet been implemented! Normally you would need to complete in-game quests to unlock the Orc race.)
Receive a unique cosmetic mini-pet for all characters on your account.
Be granted the special title "Summer's Fairest".
Receive a unique new food to help level your Gourmand.
9 months VIP membership.
PLEASE NOTE: The Summer 2023 Add-On package will be available in a few days, and the details are still subject to change until then. In addition, please keep in mind that the Orc player race is not yet available; you won't actually be able to make an Orc until we finish developing them. You can claim the other rewards immediately.
If the new package is popular, we'll explore adding more of them in the future.
Other Stuff
Items can now be summoned from the Warden chest when in Kur.
Fixed a bug that caused dropped items to appear above the character instead of on the ground; this was notably bad in the Red Wing Casino, where items would seemingly disappear into thin air (but were actually stuck in the walls).
The events on the login page now auto-scroll.
Some light polishing of the login screen.
Fixed a bug that caused the waving flag on the login screen to disappear at certain resolutions.
Fixed a formatting error in the score in the golf UI.
Fixed a bug with spring fairy gear that caused elves to have purple skin.
Animal players should no longer "ping-pong" (rotate back and forth very quickly) when standing still in certain scenarios.
Pigs & deer no longer rotate when strafing left & right.
Polished "On Fire" particles.
Update Notes: June 30 - July 6, 2023
Update Notes: June 30, 2023
Update to fix problems with animation loops in yesterday's patch
Update Notes: July 4, 2023
A small update to fix some bugs:
Drowning & dehydration put you in combat again, so that regeneration doesn't prevent dying.
Fixed a bug that broke channeling as a bat almost-completely.
Fixed a bug where an error that prevents channeling causes you to be stuck in the animation (E.G. trying to harvest wood without a saw).
Fixed a bug causing NPCs to get stuck in dancing or instrument-playing animations.
The new treasure effect that causes Heart Thorn to deal Acid armor damage over time did not show in the ability tooltip.
The new treasure effect that causes Heart Thorn to deal Acid armor damage over time did health/armor damage, not armor damage as intended.
Using Premeditated Doom showed the effect icon for mod-activated healing even if you didn't have appropriate mod.
Treasure effect "Signature Debuffs deal +80 damage and restore 90 armor to you after a 10-second delay" could not show up on Uncommon crafted belts.
Added more detailed instructions on how to find Elmetaph to the barrier wall in the newbie dungeon.
Good Bait is now a level 30 recipe (instead of 45).
The meals Venison Psi-Mantis Style and Chicken Psi-mantis Style are now properly marked as containing fish.
Added a line to Words of Power 1 to make it more obvious that you have to manually jot them down.
New setting that keeps your current target selected if you click away from it (without clicking on another target): GUI > Targeting > Mouse Selection > Clear Target on Click. Note that it's only supported in the new UI.
Fixed a graphical issue with leather headgear.
Decreased the SFX volume for some Weather Witching abilities.
Fixed a bug causing the camera position to reset when zoning.
Fixed a bug in the old UI where letting go of left-click while holding in right-click would un-hide the mouse.
Set Near Clip Plane's minimum value to 0.1, to avoid occlusion issues (notably in the casino).
New feature: 5% of all randomly-rolled Legendary loot items will be "Foretold in Prophecy", gaining 60 additional crafting points. It will have additional benefits in the future.
Update Notes: July 6, 2023
Another quick update:
Rebalanced all abilities and treasure effects that generate/restore Power. We have a list of specific changes, but it's quite long so we'll save that for the discord-linked patch notes. The short version is that all such abilities and treasure effects are more potent to varying degrees. In many cases the Power restoration increase is pretty dramatic.
Fixed a bug that sometimes caused gathering animations to not play.
Skeletons now play the correct attack animations again.
Fixed sit/nap animations for Nightshade's bed, a moldy bed in the Carpal Tunnels, and Utimak's chairs.
Fixed an invisible boulder in Eltibule.
Added an Elite Training Dummy with 100k hit points to Serbule.
Lowered cost of Glamour Berries on Riston from 20 LEC to 5 LEC each (but they are now account-bound upon purchase)
