Dev Log 6: Upcoming Expansion of Follower Talents

Greetings everyone, and welcome to the latest edition of "The Front" dev log! Today, our focus will be on the expansion of follower talents, which will be introduced in the upcoming version to significantly enrich the roles of followers.

[h2]How to View follower Talents[/h2]
  • First, you need to tame the NPC. When an NPC is knocked unconscious, you can see the number of talents it possesses. However, you won't be able to see the talent names, qualities, and effects until the NPC is tamed.
  • Note: Followers you tamed before the update will not have new talents. Follower level restricts talent unlocking, and talents that are not unlocked won't take effect. In this case, you also won't be able to see the bonus effects.


[h2]Functions of follower Talents[/h2]
  • The differences in follower talents are reflected in their respective talent effects, covering aspects such as gathering, construction, equipment, light weapons, heavy weapons, alchemy, vehicles, and more.
  • For example, the "Gathering Modification" talent helps improve the gathering multiplier of gathering tools, the "Durability Enhancement" talent boosts the durability of building items, and the "Barrel Improvement" talent can increase the range of light weapons.


[h2]6 Grades of follower Talents[/h2]
  • White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red.
  • These directly impact the attribute bonuses for talent effects. For the same talent, higher grades provide higher attribute bonuses.


[h2]Number of follower Talents[/h2]
  • Followers can have up to 5 talents, but it's possible for them to have none.
  • The probability of each talent appearing varies. Generally, higher-level and rarer NPCs are more likely to have talents with better bonus effects.
  • We will keep updating the follower’s related gameplay and maintain a balance between all the functions as well.
