Hey there!

This patch is just a minor update that mostly fixes a major bug with experience gain that prevented players from leveling up.

I've also fixed a minor issue with some enemies having a "Press F to Interact" interaction pop up on the HUD and... yes, I increased the stock count for the mystery pots since they're sold out on every server everywhere right now. But I'm glad everyone likes them! Enjoy the smashing!

This update was intended to be a patch to fix a few bugs from the previous update that slipped through the cracks, but I couldn't just stop there.

This update introduces a couple new things, but improves on a LOT of old stuff, notably the wardrobe system and chat window. I've also added a new ping system for multiplayer, and introduced a long-requested feature called Weapon Binding that lets you finally change your weapon's level to keep using it later in the game (or to use end game weapons for earlier zones). This update also fixes a TON of minor and a few major bugs that were just hanging around as well.

And of course I've added a couple new secrets. As always.

Enjoy!

New:

• Multiplayer contextual ping system

• You can now rotate, scale and tweak the position of items on item displays and in display cases

• New weapon binding system - Learn to craft binding runes as a mid-level alchemist. Use unbound runes to destroy weapons, storing their weapon level to be bound to a weapon of your choice later, effectively allowing you to change your weapon’s level to any you wish.

• Added a new secret mount

Fixed:

• Fixed some missing weapon collisions that caused them to fall out of the world when dropped

• When abandoning a quest you now get a proper pop up warning pleading that you don’t abandon quests during Early Access

• Heavily reduced the cost of bank slots to make early game storage easier to obtain, but also ramped up the curve to become quite a bit more expensive for late game

• Ravari wand is now Early magic (though this might change to Order as the Ravari are intended to be Mystics, not druids)

• Big wardrobe overhaul with a search bar and hat/mask/clothing icons that better represent them.

• Can swap between loadout slots in the wardrobe and apply looks to each without closing the wardrobe
