Early Access Update 5 - The Curator
Greetings!
Today we have a regular game update for you, introducing a new side quest "A Historical Undertaking", new items, new abilities and skill trainer interactions. Quick showcase and patch notes may be found below:
[h2] A Historical Undertaking [/h2]
Near Thornhill's southern gate (Baron's Gate), the player may now encounter a house belonging to the Regal Society for the Preservation of Imberthale’s History and Relics, or the Preservation Society for short. Its curator, Ser Ames Verrington, tasks the player with acquiring relics of historical significance from locked crypts within Thornhill's catacombs. It's all in the interest of protecting them, of course.
This will start a chain of quests progressing through the catacombs, the first part of which is included in this update.
[h2] New Lifeskill Traits [/h2]
The skill trainers in Haywind College have received new traits / abilities available for purchase. There are new interactions especially for the gathering skills of mining, woodsmanship and fishing. For example, it's now possible to remove impurities from ore out in the field, to gut fish into fillets and to split logs into firewood, which in turn can make campfires out in the field of course.
Performing these actions offer a way to stack some of your gathered resources to gain more inventory space, and they also contribute to your experience in their respective skills.
The sorcery trainer has also received a choice for a new ability.
