Ethyrial, Echoes of Yore News

Patch 2.8

We pushed through a Steam update last month, but did not include patch notes! This post details the new game elements from our mid December update.

UI Overhaul:
We've tuned the UI to feel a bit more in line with the Ethyrial brand colors. Let us know your feedback on the new look!

NEW SKILL: ENCHANTING πŸ’«

We've added tier 1 and tier 2 enchanting materials into the game for proof-of-concept testing. These materials are:

Essence - nearly all monsters have the ability to drop essence at a fairly high rate. Essence can offer various effects, such as + attributes, + damage/healing, or lifesteal and weapon procs, and more.
Celestial Dust - a material which can be purchased at the "Dust Dealer" in southern Farwood. Irumesan mages have found a way to extract this dust from meteorites, enabling players to take advantage of it's power, for a price.

Various Updates:
XP loss on death removed during the development phase
Shadowblade mana costs reduced slightly
Elementalist fireball is no longer tile target
Elementalist spell added "Zap", a short range teleport obtained at level 20
Right click "Repair" option added to NPCs
Narun's Blast now applies seed stacks to friendlies near the target enemy
Corrupted Disease now clears on login/logout
'Dragonheart' shield added to the 25-29 Rare Drop Table
Leshii, Lunarion, and Tyrants now have a level range of 33-35
Lair of the Exiles Dragon Boss now grants 1 Pristine Dragonscale to each party member
Hunter Barbed & Ensnaring Trap animations updated
Dolenar Castle elite area added to the East of Cobalt Tower
Guardian cooldown and skill behavior re-work
35-39 Rare Drop Table implemented
T7 Cloth & Leather now have Set Bonuses
Brawler martial combo stacks drop gradually over time

Character Reset:
In mid-November, we experienced a ransomware attack and accounts were lost during this event, contact us in Discord if you still need items and characters restored.

Server Migration to EU during Maintenance Mode



Hello everyone,

We will be taking the server offline from Friday to Sunday so that we can complete a data migration and rigorously test our new client/server patching system.

This will result in the server location being in the EU during the maintenance mode of the game, we apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

Keep an eye out for future updates with more information soon!

Thanks for all your support and great feedback.

What is happening ''behind the scenes'' right now

It has been a little while since we posted on Steam, so here is a quick update on what is happening right now. Join our discord for more frequent updates and community discussion!

Karlsson has started the process of learning the client patching. Truthfully, this will take some time, so we won't be able to patch the client today. We will soon, though - and we'll continue creating content and sharing all of our progress while we cross-train on that process

We're finished designing the Arcane Summoner area and is excited to show what it will be like to convert your crystallized hearts into miniatures. This area will be on the 18th floor of the Mage Tower πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ


Mounts are in progress, and we're working on rider animations πŸ‡


Added a cool image of an unstable skeleton from Shrine of Melrenor just for fun πŸ’€


We'll have an update to share regarding books and wands on Friday. The models are being re-sized and updated to make them feel better for in-game use

Lastly, we'd like to truly thank everyone for continuing to support us and share their comments on Ethyrial!
