Blacksmith Legends News

Hello there,

just a little hotfix update to solve some bugs that require attention.

Hotfix 2 patch notes:

- fixed a bug, where auto Skipping night would skip 2 nights instead of 1 when any employee working hours is '7-24' (midnight)
- fixed incorrect expenses display in Treasury HUD where King's Tax was not added in the calculation
- crafting Guardian Gloves from other blacksmiths will no longer block some other items to be crafted
- aligned player name and level in all submenus and EXP bar is visible even when it's empty

With this I'll start working on the next patch properly, so hopefully nothing will come in it's way.

Stay tuned!

Cheers,

VM Machal

My dearest blacksmiths,

as I'm updating the forum part with the patch notes so that you can see what will be changed/fixed, I'm also excited to show you something else that will be included in the upcoming patch.

1. *Villagers - Time requests*

So basically, this will bring new quest types, that will be based on time (hours) until you can finish them. Quest will be obtainable through bulletin board as I don't want too many villagers to wander around your workshop with pop-ups.


So they will be distinctive from other quests and will be tracking down the time left.


Each quest has different tasks but also can also bring something unique.

2. *New item types - Experience boost*

As some requested couple of times, the heroes lack levels and so on. I've decided to combine the Time requests and Experience boost items and you will be able to earn new recipes exclusively through time requests!
Just a little sneak peak:

Harpoon - +25% higher EXP rewards OR +10 bonus EXP from exploration/fights....


Sacred Horn - +25% higher EXP rewards OR +10 bonus EXP from exploration/fights....


This can be also changed. Depends on what is better, if fixed amount of EXP or by percentage. Let me know!

and one more thing...

3. Marketplace materials slider

Apart from that, as you may know, I'll bring 'sliders' in the Marketplace buy/sell feature, which will also show how much gold you need and so on.


So, once again, thanks for amazing feedback and let's continue making this game great! (sounds like a campaign slogan :D).

Cheers,

VM Machal

Quick hotfix:

- 'silver recipe' is now visible among smelter recipes
- 'simple sabatons' now roll with HP / DEF prefix according the tooltip
- Blacksmiths can now be moved in build mode when they are also crafting (additional stuff :P)
