Connection#
- A short Wi-Fi or network blip no longer throws you back to login. The game now waits 15 s before giving up on the connection (was 5 s)
- If the blip clears in time, you carry on where you were. "Reconnecting" still shows after 2 s, so you know it's waiting
- If it does give up, the server is still holding your session for 20 s, so the game reconnects you to it
- Clicks waiting on a slow moment also get 15 s (was 10 s) before they fail
Farming#
- Sheep pen in Alderwic, by Farmer Tobin. Everyone gets their own private pen of up to 16 sheep and rams
- Tobin sells Sheep and Rams (Farming 1, 240 silver) and Merino Sheep and Merino Rams (Farming 61, 18,960 silver). He buys lambs back
- Shear a full fleece for 10 Wool and 30 Farming XP, or 10 Merino Wool and 675 XP. A fleece regrows in 2 game days of feed. Shear all does the whole pen
- Keep a ram in the pen and every ewe lambs after 3 game days of feed, ewe and ram in turn. A Merino Ram makes every lamb Merino. Lambs grow up in a day for 10 XP (225 Merino)
- Sheep eat from the same Animal Feed trough. Shearing fills the muck heap, so muck out for Manure
- Slaughter a grown sheep for Raw meat, an Animal Hide and 30 XP (675 Merino)
- The wandering sheep in Alderwic have moved into the pen, and the Farmer no longer sells Wool
- Hens, Roosters and chicks take one bag slot each and no longer stack
- Manage from afar walks you to the pen and opens it when you arrive
- The pen window shows Eggs collected today
- New Livestock tab under Farming in the Skills tab
- Manured patches say so on hover and in the Farm tab, and their soil looks richer
Worn gear#
- New Merino tier for Crafting: spin Merino Wool into Yarn, then Cloth, at a spinning wheel (level 61, 56.25 XP each)
- Merino Hat 63, Robe Bottom 68, Robe Top and Cape 70. Magic 61 to wear. Robe Top: Armour 8, Mana +80, Regen 5.0
- Merino Facemask 63, Dexterity 61 to wear: +7 Dexterity, +7% attack speed and extra crit chance
World#
- Clouds, rain curtains and lightning hang from one cloud base, so on high ground the clouds come closer
- The sea past Fallhaven and land past the map edge take the nearest region's weather
- Distant mist pools in valleys instead of shrouding mountains
- Fixed the hard mist line at eye height on misty mornings. Mist lies on the ground, not on the treetops
- Long walks around obstacles now finish instead of stopping short
Interface#
- Recipes label their tool: "Tool: Iron Hammer or better"
- Rock, tree and fishing spot captions show on hover only. While gathering, just the stock bar stays up
- Your shield or off-hand is put away while you gather or craft
- Smoother rims on party orbs. World captions are no longer bold
Fixes#
- Linux (Wayland): fixed a launcher crash after the splash screen closes
