Smalland: Survive the Wilds News

One of the biggest under-the-hood improvements made to Smalland: Survive the Wilds in the Amber Valleys update is an overhaul of the crafting system. Here's what has changed and how it works...

Item Quality
At the point of crafting a weapon or armour, your intelligence stat is taken into account and may affect the quality of the item. Intelligence doesn't translate directly to a specific quality tier being crafted, instead the more points you have in intelligence, the greater the chance of crafting higher quality items.

Item Enhancement
At the workbench, there is now a new tab to Enhance weapons and armour. For a cost, any weapon or armour piece can effectively be upgraded to be as good as the next tier/item type in progression.

This means that if you prefer to keep an early game sword to match your play style, instead of swapping to a more recently added weapon with better stats, you can now enhance that sword so it remains useful even in late game encounters!

Please note: there is a maximum enhancement tier which is capped at the latest items in the game, so whilst most items can be enhanced up to 3 times, there can be a limit if the item is already late game gear.

Dismantling and recovering resources
Crafted items can now be dismantled to recover some of their component costs. Dismantling does not provide a full refund for any items it is applied to. The amount of resources that you receive for dismantling may be lower if the item has low durability.

Respec Attributes
Player attributes can now be reset at Herne for a cost. To restore all of your invested stat points, simply visit Herne at his camp by the Burrows entrance and select the dialogue option which asks to "refocus my training".

Content Update #3 is here featuring new weapons, creatures, threats and game-play features!

The Amber Valleys update continues the narrative left off at Malik who told you about the Aetherin tribe nearby.

Along with

• The firesand grenade - a grenade filled with a new combustible powder within The Amber Valleys
  
• The Telson hammer, if being hit with a hammer wasn't bad enough, this hammer is made from the bulb of a scorpion tail.
  
• The Scorpiolaminate Armour - armour fashioned from the carapace of, you guessed it, a Scorpion

Air-Defence Towers are a new gameplay feature in The Amber Valleys that are here to counter your flight. If you, for example, use your Blue Tit to roam the skies, you'll quickly find yourself in the sand. These towers can be permanently disabled by approaching them on foot and defeating the Aetherin inside so you can reclaim your aerial superiority!








There are two new NPCs within the Amber Valleys, Granger the dusty old hermit who will teach you some new crafting recipes, as well as another member of royalty...



Upon crafting a weapon or piece of armor, there will now be a chance to upgrade it to a higher rarity, improving its damage, resistance, and durability.T here will be 5 tiers, standard, superior, exceptional, rare and legendary. If you wish to grind out those stats and kit yourself out, you can respec yourself at Herne for 200 hoots as well!



Alongside this update is;

• The new emote system, accessible by pressing 'Q'
  
• New food recipes
  
• Narrative continuation
  
• New decoration schematics at the merchant (for hoots ofcourse!)

The threats are getting bigger and meaner, and so must you!

Gear rarity is a new system coming into The Amber Valleys update.

Upon crafting a weapon or piece of armor, there will now be a chance to upgrade it to a higher rarity, improving its damage, resistance, and durability.

These are to help give earlier tiers of weapons and armor greater relevance in later stages of the game.



There will be 5 tiers, standard, superior, exceptional, rare and legendary



To help craft stronger weapons, you'll need to increase your intelligence, high intelligence will mean you gain access to higher levels of rarity with the maximum rarity, legendary offering a 20% increase on stats from the base level.



If you wish to grind out those stats and kit yourself out, you can respecc yourself at Herne for 200 hoots as well!
