Server patch just hit. Steam patch building and will be coming tomorrow :saluting_face:

We greatly appreciate all of the votes on our poll earlier. We'll get to work on more quests and implementing cooking ASAP.

**Notes:**

- Steam Patch: XYZ coordinates in the top left indicator display can be toggled on/off in your settings.
- Over 150 crafting recipes updated to support multiple inputs for logs, cloth, leather, etc. For example, you may now craft an Ethyrite Pickaxe using Spiritwood OR Wispwood interchangably. This is a small change but improves crafting fluidity.
- Arcane Transceiver added as a trade option for 50 Hunter's Writs. This will enable you to turn in and obtain new tasks while out in the field. We'll improve the UI elements in the near future.
- All 4 Hydra Necklaces are now craftable using unique rare materials. If you've gotten a Hydra fang in the last few days, DM me so I can trade you for the one that corresponds to your main stat.
- Antitoxin added as a level 15 alchemy recipe and item. This will cure poison and grant immunity for 15 seconds.
- Platinum Leyline Thread added to tailoring vendor for 250g/unit.
- Umbral Goblin respawn time corrected.
- Lesser airstone drop chance corrected.
- Attempted Infamy bug fix for Elemental Rift. Max players corrected to 5.
- Aetherthistle and Cleansing Wisteria can now be harvested without a sickle.
- Reaperhide, Yetihide, Grimhide, Crocscale, and Turtlescale leather XP values corrected. They were missed the other day.
- Gold-threaded Cloak of the Alpha now grants 5% nature resistance like other cloaks of the same power level.
- More resources placed around Irumesa.

Thanks for your support, and please let us know if you have any questions or ideas, we're happy to help! :pray:

Patch dropped last night but we're just getting notes out for you now :pray:

**Notes:**

- Leatherworking, Tailoring, Blacksmithing, & Woodworking XP values have had a full pass and balance. Generally, XP rates were slightly improved. Blacksmithing was the most refined XP progression before and now everything should feel approximately as smooth as BS was before.

- Guardian now receives Whirling Strike from their first class quest instead of Inspiring Banner. Inspiring Banner is now received at level 15.

- Silver and Copper now automatically convert into Gold and Silver, respectively! Due to a poor decision on my part to make stacks go to 999, we have had to make the auto-conversion happen at 1,000 coins. This means:

Silver: Your 1000 Copper will become 10 Silver

Gold: Your 1000 Silver will become 10 Gold

- There is now a level up animation and sound effect. Let us know how you like these effects!

- The Superior Earth Elemental location north of Narrowbane has been reworked by @sudsmcduff :apple:

- Enchanting 2h weapons with Greater Attribute essence will now correctly give 2x stats.

- All Medium and Greater Elementals have had their spots re-worked and improved to ensure that players have a viable and fluid spot to farm them.

- The Demonic Anchor for the DmK and Cultist class quests on SI has been re-worked to be significantly more apparent and easier to find while keeping the awesome demonic theme.

- Druid: Flourish tooltip updated.

- Recently Bandaged has been made back into a debuff since it was a bit annoying to see when included in buffs. We will fix the interaction with toxic cleanse.

- Hurry now drop off **On Damage Taken** not **On Enter Combat**

- Updated Coal, Iron, and Copper veins in Old Mines to give the appropriate 3 ore maximum instead of 2.

- Sara Summerset is now invulnerable.

- Hydras are now non-elites, we will work on adding Elites to a suitable location nearby with higher droprates so both solo and group play can be engaged in.

- Dolenar Shoulders, Breastplate, and Gauntlets are now dyeable after being missed in the first pass.

- Blacksmithing Forges have been updated with more baseline grid slots.
T1 - 25 slots
T2 - 30 slots
T3 - 36 slots

- Reworked Thistlebrook mine to include a lot more gold and silver and a bit less coal!

- Hunter's Writ icon updated.

Thanks for enjoying the world of Irumesa! We appreciate each and every player :heart:

Will hit the patch tomorrow morning again so we don't stop the party tonight :man_dancing:



**Notes:**

- We're starting to make the T9/Level 40 items. First Up: **Eternal Redban Potions**. Beefy heals and a sweet new model! You can craft these with rare resources from a certain T9 mob. Good luck discovering which!
- Next Up: **Hydra Fang Necklaces**. Hydras were recently made into elite group mobs. They have a low chance to drop a Hydra Fang (model to be updated), which can be used to craft the jewelry of the attribute you desire. This should incentivize grouping up to farm them. (NOTE: The stats will likely change on these items as we add more modifier variety to the backend)
- Superior Arcanic Essence minipet added to the game.
- Infuser summon movement speeds updated so they don't fall behind the player when moving.
- Kill Demons task updated to specify Imps and Harbingers that reside in caves.
- We're testing modular crafting components. The Crimsonite and Drakonium scythe recipes will now accept any wood of the corresponding tier within the crafting window. Primordial and Duskroot bows function the same way.
- Updated vendor values for a handful of low level materials and items so they have at least a sale price of 1 copper.
- Updated all wand vendor values and appearances so there is a better sense of visual progression.
- Dolenar gear is now dyeable.
- Murkhide scraps now match the weight and stack size of other leather scraps.
- Updated the Spider Hunter quest to clarify the suggested level for fighting the corrupted spider.
- Updated the assassin starting spell cooldowns. They were excessively long.
- Fixed a bug with the Jewelcrafting Tutorial quest.
- Brawler: Knockout now performs the execute function instead of Fierce Uppercut.
- Brawler: CDs reduced on Powerful Cross, Fierce Uppercut, and Horizontal Kick.
- Brawler: Fierce Uppercut now has a 4+ martial combo effect of 100% more damage dealt.
- Recently Bandaged adjusted to not count as a simple "Debuff" which could be removed with assassin's toxic cleanse.
- Attempted fixes for Floating Light spells.
- More resources placed around Irumesa.

As a niche gold sink, we'd like to add a *Gold Colored* title that can be purchased for 100k gold. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this! What title have you always wanted to see for being fabulously wealthy in a game? Let us know in #general !

Thanks for your support as we continue to build Irumesa. :pray: See you in game!
