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.





New Creatures are coming to Smalland, featuring a new mount; the Scorpion! A tank bodyguard that packs a sting with it's attacks! Adittionally, there's also!

• Beetle herds!
  
• Aetherin Squadrons
  
• Tarantula Variants
  
• Tarantula Hawk wasps
  
• Ladybug variant
  
• Ssomething elsse...
  

Along with

• The Handcannon - a musket-like projectile weapon, slow, but powerful
  
• 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
  
• and more!
  

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!)
  
• and more!

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!

Lock and load, Smallfolk, steady your hand and flex your trigger finger because you're packing heat now!

Introducing the Handcannon. It's a cannon that fits in your hand. Self-explanatory, right? The Handcannon shoots iron ammo, crafted using firesand, a new resource within the Amber Valleys.

Don't think it's going to mean an easy win in every fight though. While the Handcannon is powerful, it's also closer to an old fashioned musket in function, and takes time to load and prime for each shot. You'll need to be smart in how you use it to get the best effect.



Another use for firesand is that you can also bundle it up into a nice little grenade - extra lethal against ladybugs!



And you're going to need every advantage to take down the new Aetherin turrets. The valley is dotted with these defensive outposts, which will blast away at anything which flies within range - including birds and Smallfolk with wings.



If you've only just earned your bird, don't worry too much if it gets shot down. One hit isn't lethal, but will cause health loss. Repeatedly trying to fly through Aetherin airspace will risk losing your feathered friend, so if you want to reclaim these lands, you'll need to approach each turret on foot, and defeat the squad of Aetherin that emerges. Doing so will disable that turret permanently.



To begin crafting with firesand, you'll need to first meet Granger, a dusty old Smallfolk who now lives as a reclusive beetle rancher in the Amber Valleys.

Life in the Amber Valleys can have a sting in the tail. Literally.

[h3]Content Update 3: The Amber Valleys comes 16/10[/h3]



The Scorpion is the ultimate enforcer, tanky, agile and most importantly - brutal! At your size, you don't even need to worry about being poisoned when you have a stinger that size through your chest!



A tamed Scorpion is the perfect mount for the Amber Valleys. Its speed and agility over the rocky, sandy terrain will help you cover the ground distance in order to shut down those Aetherin turrets, and will also prove helpful in facing the other deadly fauna inhabiting the valleys.



Those rapid snip-snap pincer attacks allow the Scorpion to get the upper claw in combat, and when your foe is where you want them, you can expend a hefty amount of stamina to go for a powerful sting with that powerful tail!



Wait, was that a...Tarantula? Yep. The Overland's spider population just got larger and deadlier, with the addition of this monstrous hairy arachnid. Lurking among the rocks and cliffs, these beasts will test even the hardiest Smallfolk warrior, so watch your step when exploring!



Of course, there may still be a few surprises in these sun-baked lands. Find out what else is coiled and waiting in store for you on October 16th, when the Amber Valleys update releases!
