Short-term plans

• Account transfer functionality entirely (game version and characters) from Steam to VKPlay
• Migration of EU region server locations due to ongoing events
• Focus on fixing all accumulated errors that interfere with comfortable gameplay
• Emphasis on the tutorial tavern and Rivulet Island (reworking and specifying quests, clearing and improving the experience)
• Upcoming mechanisms - castle runes
• Fixes and rebalancing - Vocations, powders, economy

• Cauldrons up to level 12 have been added. They can be crafted at the alloy smelter.
  There are two types: lightweight portable cauldrons weighing 5 kg and heavy stationary cauldrons weighing 15 kg.
  The amount of powder produced per brew has been increased by 96%. On average, each cauldron gives 119% more powder.
  These improvements are part of a broader initiative to simplify life on the continent, which also includes increasing the spawn rate of herbs and marked areas on the map.

• The flight speed of the crossbow bolt has been increased by 30%.
• The accuracy of the crossbow bolt has been increased by 15%.
  Due to changed priorities, we were unable to allocate time to AMMO crossbow within the planned timeframe, so we have brought the speed and accuracy of the bolt in line with our expectations for the future "Light" bolt.
• The stacking of bleeding effects from unnamed monsters has been removed.
  Currently, there is no evasion and damage in relative terms from maximum HP, which reduces the effectiveness of tank builds and unnecessarily complicates the game for new players.
• Experience in PvE has been increased by 25%, including a 25% increase in experience for the final blow.
  The motivation behind this change is to make the game more accessible and easier for new players, as well as less punishing.

• Level 15: from 45 to 57.5 minutes depending on the elixir level.
• Level 60: from 55 to 67.5 minutes for regular elixirs, and from 65 to 90 minutes for royal elixirs.

  Maenads and Stickmans insects received varieties depending on the type of forest in which they are located:
  1. Pine
  2. Oak
  3. Birch
  4. Sequoia
  They differ slightly from each other in characteristics and are noticeably different in appearance. At the same time, quests that required killing a particular type of monster to complete were transferred to new varieties. Quest givers generally require either the most common variety (Pine) or the variety that is closer to them geographically.

• just like you we realize that the world of Reign of Guilds cannot develop with its current online even taking into account that Steam doesn’t include the number of players from all platforms;
• we’ve said it more than once that we want to give new players a chance to try the game for free, at least in the confines of tutorial locations (Rivulet Island);

• Only 1 character per account;
• Restrictions on the exit from Rivulet Island;
• Greater progression of the Island Tax;
• Can’t create guilds;
• Can’t use customization items (skins and animations);

• We still made it possible for the players with the free version of the game to leave the island after completing a quest for each character on the account;
• We think that all the players who want to try the mainland should have this opportunity;
• Basically, it gives people the possibility to play the game for free;

• As a rule, new players spend 30 to 50 hours to leave the island with their first character;
• The island gives opportunity to learn the game mechanics in nearly absolute safety and get yourself beginner money and equipment;
• To make the beginners’ experience even richer, we’ve reworked the crafting system in several previous patches, making it available from level 1 on with any Vocation, and adding all that is necessary for it on the island;

• DLC “Commoner” was added to lower the threshold for players who want to enter the kingdom of Dwarrhan. It is relatively cheap but still includes a number of restrictions;
• DLC “Knight” is distributed to all the players who purchased the base game earlier. It is a version of the game free of any limitations;
