Tale of Toast

Wyntervale is now shut down, contact us if you wish to migrate to Florin

Wyntervale realm is now shut down, we will now be working to complete the unified database which will allow us to run Channels instead of stand-alone realms. This means you will be able to connect to whatever server you wish to in the future, while always playing with your own character!

If your character or crumbs still has not been moved over to Florin and you wish to keep it then you must send an email to support@taleoftoast.com with the name of the character you wish to move, as well as the name of the character you have created on Florin that you wish to overwrite. Please be aware that this is a manual process, so it may take some time for the transfer to take place.

The final deadline to have a character transferred from the Wyntervale database to the Florin database is on the 31st of March.

Transfer of characters from Wyntervale to Florin complete

As noted in https://steamcommunity.com/games/taleoftoast/announcements/detail/3397298957522328194 we are going to move to a unified database so we can more easily launch a lot of servers for the official launch, which means that characters on Wyntervale will be lost unless moved to Florin.

We have now processed all the requests, and will be shutting down the Wyntervale server on the 31st of January.

If your character or crumbs still has not been moved over and you wish to keep it then you must send an email to support@taleoftoast.com with the name of the character you wish to move on Wyntervale, as well as the name of the character you have created on Florin that you wish to overwrite. Please be aware that this is a manual process, so it may take some time for the transfer to take place.

Even though the Wyntervale server is down after the 31st of January, we can transfer characters and account data. The final deadline to have a character transferred from the Wyntervale database to the Florin database is on the 31st of March.

Patch 0.2.5f

Yet another update! This time I've added Rested XP Bonus.

From now on whenever you go offline, your character will now be "resting" and gaining a bonus XP value. The max amount of rested XP you can earn is 150% of your current level. It will take a total of 72 hours of being offline to reach the max value, but you can log on anytime before that and use up whatever amount you have earned if you like.

Whenever you gain XP through combat or gathering while rested, you will gain additional experience (at the cost of using up your rested bonus). This will essentially double the amount of XP earned while rested. The bonus will show up in your combat logs as a combined value along with the additional rested bonus. "100 xp (+50 rested)" means you earned 50 regular XP and 50 rested XP, and the amount of rested XP consumed will be equal to the total amount of XP earned (100 in this example).

You can see how much rested XP you currently have by looking at your experience bar. It will show up as a blue bar underneath the regular orange XP bar. You can also hover over the bar to see the exact amount.

Note: You must login to each character at least once after this update to start earning rested experience! Your characters will not be earning rested experience until then.

Patch 0.2.5e

Just a minor patch that affects movement a little bit. "Rubberbanding" has returned, but it should hopefully be less aggressive this time around. If you rubberband (teleport a short distance) frequently, please let me know on Discord: https://discord.gg/taleoftoast

I have also disabled the Ranged support tree skills until they are completed. If you have any points placed in those skills currently, they will be refunded to you automatically.

Patch 0.2.5d

Patch 0.2.5

Skill Changes


In this update we've worked quite a bit on the spells and abilities players can learn. We still have some more to add, but this should hopefully be a nice starting point and a little more organized and thought out than before. We don't expect them all to be perfectly balanced, but that will come over time.

The three skill trees that we had before (Melee, Magic and Ranged) have been split into six trees. There are now three trees for offensive skills and three for supportive skills (one for each discipline). We have also added passive abilities alongside the active ones. These will give your character extra bonuses behind the scenes without needing to cast a spell, like increased Strength or special effects like parrying attacks.

With these skill changes we have also cut the amount of skill points a player earns in half. This was done to make it more meaningful as to which skills you choose, as you can no longer have nearly every spell available any longer at higher levels.

We'd love your feedback on the changes and new abilities! You can chat with us directly on Discord (link below) or by sending an email to support@toastyleaf.com. Check out the rest of the changes and fixes below.

Moving to a unified database - Wyntervale (EU) users MUST read to keep their character(s)!

Our initial idea when creating Tale of Toast was to have unique databases for each realm.

In theory, this is a nice idea because it means each realm has its unique community. In practise we've come to notice that we have problems both scaling up and down realms - something that is necessary as sometimes we will have a lot more players than otherwise (during our full release, large updates, etc. so people don't need to sit in queue and wait).

By swapping to using so called "Channels", which means multiple realms are connected to one unified database cluster, we can scale up to 100 realms on one day, and back down to 20 realms another day. This can even be done automatically, so the amount of servers currently active will depend on the amount of players online globally after we do the full launch of the game.

For players it means you are able to move across different realms with their characters, so you will no longer be locked to a single realm. We are still evaluating if we need some restrictions in place, but more information will come about that later.

The unified database will be the one currently used for Florin (US).


Players of Wyntervale (EU) Must take the following action Before 16th of December if they wish to keep their characters:
1. Create a new level 1 character on Florin (US).
2. Login to the Wyntervale character you wish to keep, and create a ticket stating the character name of the level 1 character on Florin (US).
3. You can now continue playing as usual, and we will move the character as soon as we can.

FAQ:
How soon will my character be moved?
We will be moving characters in batches, so we cannot state a specific date for your specific character.

What happens to characters on Wyntervale (EU) after the 16th of December?
They are deleted.

Can I move multiple characters?
Yes, but you must then create multiple characters on Florin (US), and create a unique ticket from each character on Wyntervale (EU) you wish to move.

Can I move my EU character to a different account on the US database?
No.

My character name is already taken on the US server, what should I do?
Unfortunately, you need to choose a new character name.

Will I keep my Crumbs?
Yes.

Will I keep my stats, inventory, etc?
Yes.

My character is on Florin (US), do I need to do anything to keep it?
No, the new "master" database will be Florin (US), so you do not need to do anything.
