4th Era - The RuneChild News

3.8 New Skill System

Changed the Skill system, so it is easier to use.
Now you can select between 25 skills; creating your own unique class.

Skills improvement are more smooth, because it is linked to what you do.
But you can also Buy training in selected classes.
Your skill points are now based on your Intelligence, so smarter people learns more.

Minimized the main menu and the start menu, reducing analyze paralysis.

Added save options, so now it only saves as default, when you exit a map.
This makes it faster to enter dungeons..

You can hurt and even kill NPC's and loot them.

Streamlined the Quest menu, so you only see open/active quests.

You can buy spells at magic vendors.
And the bug with magic Rings is also fixed.. (I hope)

Small UI update

Improved the Start Scene, so it is easier to start the game.
Faster way to Return to an old save game, for the repeat offenders.

You can still create a character, but now you can start your game fast.

Main menus has been simplified, so it is easier to see what is going on...

Less stress for the new players
