Release date set to 13th May
After 5 months in Early Access, we can now officially confirm, that the release date for 1.0 has been set to Monday 13th May!
We won't even try to list all the additions and changes introduced during EA, but surely, we would not be able to get where we are without the support of our Kickstarter backers and Early Access players, who tirelessly reported each bug and suggested ways to improve.
The 1.0 release is not the end of the development process and we plan to support the game with new, free content, tweaks and improvements.
If you haven't already, add Thea 2 to your wishlist to make sure you won't miss the date!

This update brings a significant revamp to essences and resources. The number of essences has been reduced and they are now closely linked to particular resource types.
For example - Wood always contains Wood Essence, Gems - Gem Essence etc. Each essence provides a specific effect to equipment created from it, ie. Wood Essence will grant Poison Damage to weapons, Stone gives Shield Leech etc.
Resources now belong to one of three categories - Core, Improved and Wild.
Core are the easiest to use and provide no disadvantages but also no significant bonuses.
Improved harder to use than Core, offer increased item stats but carry an additional small risk of failure.
Wild are the most failure-prone but offer a different set of bonuses.
Crafting can now result in Masterwork and Trash quality items - the chances for such results depend on the skill of the craftsman and resources used.
