Black Reliquary News

The Ship Events Update is now officially out!
Our apologies being a bit late with our release, we ran into some last second issues and miscommunications that ended up delaying the release of this update a little.

This update includes:

• 25 New Ship Events
  
• Two new plot quests started by Ship Events, including our first Darkest (Lv 6) quest
  
• Philomath Class add-on
  
• Thrall Class add-on
  
• Symptom/Disease system adjustments
  
• 10 New Celestial Trinkets and some adjustments to their progression
  
• 11 New "Twilight" rarity trinkets (Our replacement for Ancestral Trinkets)
  
• 2 new "Oddity" items that allow heroes to change their affiliation
  
• Many balance changes and adjustments
  
• Fixes to many typos and other bugs
  

There's some bits of content that we wanted to include in this update that we had to axe in the interest of time, mainly some minor Thrall assets and an item that allows heroes to change affiliation to Faithless. We'll likely be adding them in supplementary updates in the next couple weeks, along with a slew of balance updates and bug fixes.

We're still hard at work on the next update! We'll likely try to have one more Captain's log before August 11th, but there's no guarantee.

This post will be going over our first Darkest level quest, a new roaming boss, and affiliation-changing items.

If you want to see what else we're working on, this post is an continuation of our previous log

[h2]The Blackened Sun[/h2]
Similar to "Wolves at the Door", upon reaching the later stage of the game, the "Blackened Sun" Event can occur. This town event generates a short quest in the Exposed Interior, where your heroes must destroy the "Black Sun Beacon", a Kvarotz monument that's perpetuating the Eclipse.



[h2]Quest of Destruction[/h2]
This new quest has a new, unique torchlight to reflect the environmental changes of the Eclipse. This modifier includes some heavy downsides, especially for the heroes.



The Wildlander Painwarden also has a new ability, which allows her allies to apply bleed on their attack.



At the heart of the dungeon, your heroes will arrive at the beacon to find that you were not there first!
A stray Wildlander has managed to grab an otherworldly helmet, the centerpiece of the accursed beacon, and she will need to be defeated to destroy it.



Even after its defeat, this is not the last you've seen of the Flayed. The helmet's power overrides even death, and her possessed body can be found shambling across The Valley in champion/darkest missions.



[h2]Affiliation Changing Items[/h2]
The Flayed drops "Truthbearer", a new item that allows the player to change the affiliation of a singular hero to Pagan.



The Truthbearer's counterpart is the "Broken Halo" item which allows the player to change a hero's affiliation to Religious.
These items are dropped by the Lost Legion, specifically in Veteran/Champion level dungeons.



We're still sorting out a Faithless conversion item, however, it might not be ready for the update's initial release on the 11th.

==================

We'll be sharing more information about the update in Captain's Logs in the future! We hope to get another log sorted out before the 11th, but at the moment there's no guarantee. In the event that we don't get one out before the 11th, we'll likely do one shortly after the update is released.

It has fallen, but only the hand of father time will truly defeat this monster.

We hope you've all been enjoying exploring the Valley.
We wanted to update you guys about what we're working on and what you can look forward to in the future.

[h2]Road Map[/h2]
We've posted this to other platforms, but we do have a roadmap that outlines our progress on the mod, and goes over the remaining updates.



As you can see, there's not a whole lot left. We're currently working on the Ship Event update before wrapping with final Black Reliquary update.

[h2]Ship Event Update Details[/h2]
The Ship Event update will be released on August 11th, and will include:

• New Ship Events
  
• Two new plot quests started by Ship Events, including our first Darkest (Lv 6) quest
  
• Philomath Class add-on
  
• Thrall Class add-on
  
• Symptom/Disease system adjustments
  
• New Celestial Trinkets and some adjustments to their progression
  
• Replacement of Ancestral trinkets: "Twilight" rarity trinkets
  
• New rare Estate items that allow heroes to change their affiliation
  
• Many balance changes and adjustments
  

Here are some examples of what we're working on:
[h2]Ship Event Progress[/h2]
While we've had a lot of different ideas for Ship Events, many of them unfortunately had to be canned due to limitations of Darkest Dungeon modding and time constraints.

We're looking to add a total of 25 new ship events, ranging from events that provide simple buffs on your next expedition to introducing new, more difficult challenges.

Here are just a couple examples of some Ship Events:
The shooting competition ship event as pictured here is planned to offer up ranged bonuses for the next quest.

This gambling-lock event is the result of some bestial hijinks that got out of hand.

This last ship event depicts the remains of a brew that was corrupted by Cactonid spawn, resulting in a somewhat explosive beverage.


We'll be showcasing more of these town events in future Captain's Logs.

[h2]Symptom/Disease Changes[/h2]

The first Symptom/Disease adjustment we've made is to make it so that disease kits are able to completely remove freshly acquired symptoms. Previously, we wanted to make tended symptoms and diseases cheaper to remove, but sadly that wasn't an option, therefore it often felt like a waste of money to buy the disease kits, as you'd still have to remove disease in the Clinic. To somewhat balance this change out, the time for the symptom to evolve was halved.

[h3]Special Disease Changes[/h3]

We've also made some adjustments to the Ghoul Plague and Rictus Mortis special diseases (the latter of which is available when the Hexer Class add-on is enabled). These two diseases have some special effects which make them a valuable part of a character under specific circumstances. An issue with those diseases however, was that it was difficult to keep people with just that disease, as any way of curing diseases had a risk of curing the special diseases too. We're adjusting them as to make it so that they push out common diseases as well as prevent the hero from getting any other diseases . This way you can retain your team of special heroes without risk of clearing the status. However, these special diseases will not be curable on the Flameseeker, and instead need be cured by camp skills or curios. Additionally, Ghouls will no longer randomly apply Ghoul Fever to your heroes in combat.

[h2]Philomath Addon[/h2]

The Philomath is a counter-defense support hero with potential high damage options, but at the cost of being exceptionally frail. Her power and fragility are substantially amplified upon affliction, coupled with unique relationships to stress.

To have her fit into BR, we've had to rebalance the stats on herself and her skills. We've also adjusted her to be Pagan-favoring, which is reflected in some of her abilities.
Due to her increased value in the prep round, some aspects have been dialed back accordingly.


We've gotten a handle on her skills and her trinkets, but there's still a lot of art assets that need to be finalized for her to be release-ready.

==================

We'll be sharing more information about the update in Captain's Logs over the course of the next month. Thank you for accompanying us on this wild journey, and we look forward to reaching the massive conclusion with you all.

What's done is done. The beast has been created and it shall not be unmade...

While working on the Ship Events update, we found some pretty major crash fixes and bugs that we wanted to push to live. Since we were going to push some fixes to live, we figured we'd just ship a full on balance patch.

Noticeable adjustments this update include:
-Fixing the crash that sometimes occurs when you have both Amberblight and Expiate on the same enemy
-Buffing a bunch of Bosses :)
-Reworking Bola

Again, this is likely our last large-scale balance update until the Ship Event update unless something major pops up. We'll be devoting most of our time towards new content updates from now on.

Noticeable adjustments include:

-Updating curio interactions so skeleton keys are a bit more useful
-Updating Prep stress to be significantly less impactful
-Adding some new Anti-Stealth measures to enemies
-New Party names!

This is likely our last large-scale balance update. We'll be focusing on creating and implementing new content after this one. We may still have a couple of smaller-scale adjustments to either fix bugs caused by this update or to remedy any extreme bugs or balance issues that are discovered.
