Terra Randoma News

Hi everyone,
This week we worked on unique items. We added 16 unique accessories to the game for the next update. They are all powerful artifacts which scale to the level of the hero at the time they are found. But they are not all about giving stats, some of them have powers that no other item has.

"Rainbringer" is a curious ring. When hero equips it, it starts a rain that lasts for 2 days. Rainbringer works outdoors and it will be a valuable ring for heroes with lightning talent stones since lightning works better when it is raining. Rainbringer will be obtainable from the Artisan’s Guild treasure vault. So hero may acquire it by completing a few quests for them.



Another ring is for heroes with fire-based attacks. This ring’s name is “Seal of Drought”. As the name suggests, when the hero wears it, the rain stops. So the hero can freely use fireballs etc.

Another curious effect of this ring is that if the hero uses “Seal of Drought” too frequently, “famine” may start in one of the nearby towns.

Since these rings both alter the weather, there is a possibility that the hero may be struck by a lightning after equipping them.

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!

Hi everyone,
Here is another bugfix and changes update.

• Adventurer's Guild was giving only one type of quest although there was five quest types.
  
• Increased the probability of finding ingredients from the bushes needed for health and stamina potions.
  

Hi everyone,
Here is small bugfix and changes update.

• Fixed a bug that occurs if the hero tries to craft potion or cook food immediately after fishing. Hero was moving at the background to the mouse direction.
  
• Added an "Are you sure?" window after the player clicks the "retire hero" button. It was retiring without confirmation.
  

Hi everyone,
Here is small bugfix update.

FIXES

• Some damage types were written wrong on the Talent Stone Cards although they were calculated correctly. For example it was written as fire damage instead of ice.
  
• After upgrading meditation skill, the perk about elemental damages was not updated immediately on the talent stone info page.
  

Hi everyone,
We are ready with a new update. This is a major one with new content and important changes. After lots of iterations and testing, we made the talent stones upgradable. When the hero uses them, they earn experience points and they can be upgraded up to 5 levels each. This change forced us to do some balancing changes because hero became significantly more powerful. Note that these balance changes are not final, so there may be new changes according to feedback.

Another new feature in this update is fishing activity. Hero can buy fishing baits from the lighthouse and try fishing while camping near water tiles at the overworld map. There are new dishes to be cooked with new catches. This is the first version of fishing. We hope to improve this activity with upcoming updates.

We also introduced unique items with this update. They are all rings for now and can be found while catching fishes. With this foundation, it will be easy to add other type of unique items in the near future.

Note that the older saves will not work with this update. The older version can be found under beta at the client.
