The Bloodline News

Harbingers,

A new hotfix patch is available now to address the latest issues you reported and improve your experience in the lands of Eudros!

[h2]BUGS FIXES/OPTIMIZATIONS[/h2]

• Fixed issue with Vampire skill tree not letting you unlock skills even if you're the proper Vampire level

• Oak trees now drop the correct logs
  
• Prophet's Spear now deals damage correctly
  
• Fixed sleep UI not showing the correct name of the day you are on.
  
• If you did not receive the Grimclaw companion upon donating all eggs, visit the Grimclaw Burrow again and interact with the basket. If the basket was somehow out of sync with the quest (as in, the quest is completed but the basket is missing eggs), interacting with the basket should give you the companion.

• Spear Charge now consumes stamina properly
  
• Blood Leech now consumes mana properly
  
• Mortar Arrow now works with any bow

• When using the Vampire skill "Feed", you should get an accurate update to the amount of time you have left until you are blood starved (No longer loops at 1 hour)

Harbingers,

A new update is available now to improve and expand your journey in the lands of Eudros!

Test the new keybinding options, complete the Easter-themed questline to obtain a new mount & companion, explore the revamped calendar system, and enjoy various fixes and adjustments! 🐰

[h2]BUG FIXES[/h2]

• The Verglas Elk now has a proper description and details on the mount selection screen
  
• Fixed issue with Vampire skill tree not unlocking vampire skills
  
• FIxed issue where companions would sometimes aim their attacks at you when there isn't an enemy nearby to target
  
• Fixed random player spawns at grassy plain areas
  

[h2]BALANCING/ADJUSTMENTS[/h2]

• WOODCUTTING AND MINING REBALANCE:
  
  ○ Goal: Grant Woodcutting and Mining levels more frequently and allow the player to gather more resources faster, while also incentivising players to harvest resources that are at their Woodcutting or Mining level.
  ○ Woodcuttting/Mining Level Progression changes: Shifted all resource level requirements to be higher than before - but also dramatically increased the EXP you gain from harvesting them. The amount of Woodcutting/Mining EXP the resources grant you should be paced much better than before, with higher level resource granting much more EXP!
  ○ Resources: You have a base bonus loot chance of 15%. The higher your level relative to the harvestables level increases the bonus chance! For example - if you're level 30 Woodcutting and you chop down a level 1 tree (Pine trees), you have nearly 50% chance to earn bonus loot with each hit! You also now gain between 1-3 extra resources for bonus loot hits. This should help lessen the grind for basic materials, especially if you're a high level in the repective harvesting skill.
  
  
• CALENDAR SYSTEM REWORK:
  
  ○ All dates will now have some form of event happening somewhere in the world.
  ○ Changed the way events are selected, allowing for specific areas to recieve unique events (will be usefull when new kingdoms are added!)
  ○ Added descriptions to all calendar events
  
  
• Reduced volume of victory fanfare after defeating overworld enemy groups

[h2]ADDITIONS[/h2]

• FULL KEYBOARD/MOUSE KEYBINDING SUPPORT! (As stated in our last State of Eudros, you'll be able to test control mapping to your liking and, above all... give us feedback. This feature has been tested internally but may not yet be in its final form, which is why your reports will help Milo refine it and promptly address any issues that may arise.)
• Added Easter-themed questline/event! Visit the Khenmoore Flatlands to recieve a letter from a delivery bird to start the quest.
  
• Added new mount: Meadowstrider
  
• Added new cave to the Khenmoore Flatlands: The Grimclaw Burrow (Related to the Easter questline!)
  
• Added new companion: The Grimclaw
  
• Added new woodcutting resource: Oak Trees! (No crafting recipes require oak logs yet!)

Harbingers,

The fresh spring air is about to arrive in the lands of Eudros, and while you're hunting or taking a nap in a flowery meadow, there's someone who - hidden in some hole in the ground - judges your deeds... 🐰

You'll soon know what I'm talking about, but first of all, welcome to our usual appointment with the State of Eudros, our monthly summary with the latest news from the world of The Bloodline and glimpses of what's cooking! 🥘

[h2]IN THE LAST MONTH... [/h2]

As you know, our Milo is tireless, and even in the last month, we released a significant update that added new content, including weapons and events on the calendar, optimizations, and improvements, followed by an inevitable hotfix to promptly respond to your feedback. You're incredible bug hunters, we must admit it!

Speaking of hunting, a mysterious creature in the verdant lands of Eudros demands a favor that you can’t refuse (literally!)

[h2]BRING THE EGGS, OR PAY THE PRICE. 💀 [/h2]

As you may have guessed, a new update is already on its way, and this time it will address one of your most urgent requests: full keybinding for keyboard/mouse is coming! With the next update, you'll be able to test control mapping to your liking and, above all... give us feedback. This feature has been tested internally but may not yet be in its final form, which is why your reports will help Milo refine it and promptly address any issues that may arise.

Along with this, get ready for an Egg Hunt that couldn't possibly be missing from our first Easter event. The Aegis Eggs are scattered all around the Khenmoore Flatlands, and a deadly creature by the name of the Grimclaw Burrower demands that you donate at least one egg if you enter its burrow! If you don't, you'll pay the price. 💀

If you meet the demands, you can acquire the adorable and swift Meadowstrider Mount - capable of jumping really high - and The Grimclaw itself as a companion, a combat-focused companion that leaps at enemies and can dish out some big damage!



[h2]COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS: VALENTINE'S DAY CONTEST & ODD JOBS [/h2]

To celebrate our first Valentine's Day together, we asked the community to find the perfect location for a romantic date in the lands of Eudros, where to pop the most important question: "Will you slay goblins with me forever?" 💘 The prize? An extra key of The Bloodline to gift to your sweetheart.

All the proposals were top-notch, but you can admire the winning works chosen by the community and Milo below:



Another one of our Community Design Challenges has come to an end, and in this round, we asked players to propose some... Odd Jobs! These are quick and fun assignments that don’t quite fit into specific guilds but would be posted on the city assignment boards instead.

Here are some of the proposals that we particularly liked:

• Tavern Bouncer by KingYaga The bandits are drunk, causing problems and don't wanna leave....make them.
• Local Witch Calls in Sick by Spanks Masterson The local witch's coven is gathering for their seasonal potluck but Esmerelda would much prefer to go on a picnic with her boyfriend instead. She can't call in sick AGAIN so she begs you to help. Since the coven needs 13 witches to make a quorum (and she's the 13th) you'll need to put on her creepy hooded cloak and attend in her place. Since the cloak is rather voluminous, they'll never know it isn't her. All you have to do is take a place in the circle for the opening ceremony and then you can leave. Easy money.
  
  Issue: After the player takes a place in the circle they discover that the witches are summoning an incubus for Becky's bachelorette party. Surprise! Sadly, the player doesn't do their part to help (they have no clue what to do) and as such the witches summon a significantly less friendly demon. The coven decides that the bachelorette party is over and teleports away, leaving the player to deal with the monster.
• Drinking Competition by Eakagus Drinking contest, pass out from drink & wake up in a cave or something still drunk. Classic.

Of course, the purpose of these challenges is to unleash your imagination: we can't guarantee that these ideas will be added to The Bloodline exactly as they were imagined, but they will certainly be a great source of inspiration for future content!
Thanks to all the participants, and - if you want to join our next contest or the next Design Challenges, join our Discord.

[h2]SOMETHING NEW ON THE HORIZON[/h2]

The future of The Bloodline is still unwritten, and there are many things we have in store for our adventurers: among them, a new guild is in the works, but it might be in a kingdom you're not familiar with! 👀

What will you find in these distant lands? What secrets to uncover and places to explore will you encounter? Only time will tell.
