Ethyrial, Echoes of Yore News

Don't forget to update your client on Steam before logging in.
We have focused on addressing a few key issues in today's patch.

[h3]Added:[/h3]
- Implemented Auto Daily Restarts, which will restart all servers at 06:00 AM UTC () every day. We are monitoring its performance closely.

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]
- Fixed the new spawn points that were causing problems.
- Added a new spawn point at Gilded Advance, near the entrance to WL, to ensure more reliable spawning outside WL.
- Fixed Chieftain Grars Conversation.
- Fixed outskirts invisible bridges.

[h3]Balance:[/h3]
- Hornbucks will now peacefully graze on passive creatures instead of behaving aggressively like the rage monsters they were. However, they will still defend themselves and each other when necessary.
- Increased value of Serpent Meat and Dragon Meat so they give the correct crafting xp.

[h2]**Fixes:**[/h2]
-The party xp should now be functioning as intended.

If these can be observed to now function we will go through and change the rest as well.

Hello everyone,

This is our Roadmap for the upcoming months, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you.


For accessibility:


We've also looked into creating a Kanban board of sorts, but maintaining it would only take away time from actually fixing issues.
Instead, we will more actively update the Known Issues list in our discord server as it reflects what we are working on in addition to the tasks required to achieve the goals of the roadmap.

Let us know in our feedback channels what you think or if there is anything that was missed that should be included.

-Team Gellyberry

[h2]**Fixes:**[/h2]
-Renamed "Crafting" in the skills list to "Jewelcrafting" for improved clarity.
-Adjusted weapon models to ensure compatibility with imbue and weapon effects.
-Higher tier kill tasks from taskboards now offer a currency reward.
[h2]**Added:**[/h2]
Monsters
-Added new monsters to Irumesa: Slimespawns, Ebonshade, Shadowmanifestations, and Campestris. Materials and armor sets related to these monsters will be introduced in future updates.
-The Vekiun Tribes have returned to Irumesan soil, they can now be found in their villages again.
-Currency Exchange is now back.
[h2]**Balance:**
[/h2]-Corrupted Grove Dungeon:
