Tribes of Midgard News

Hiló Vikings!🛠️ We have deployed a Hotfix to resolve issues identified during Season 3, including various crashes and Xbox invite issues.

There's no downtime - you'll just have to restart Tribes of Midgard to see the changes! 🙌

[h2]Game Changes[/h2]

• Higher-powered Enemies now also drop the basic Materials of their lower-powered counterparts, in addition to their usual higher-tier Materials.
  
  • For example, weaker Unsunken Warriors drop Yarn, while the strongest Unsunken Warriors drop Spun Yarn. Now, the strongest Unsunken Warriors will also drop Yarn in addition to Spun Yarn. Journal entries for these enemies were updated to reflect their full loot possibilities.

As mentioned in yesterday's blog post, we're looking to also increase the Construction limit. We’re also looking into Construction height, pulling Materials directly from Storage Chests, and alerts to prevent dismantling a Storage Chest that contains Items, among a few.

Talk again soon!

Hiló Vikings,

It’s been just about two weeks since the launch of Season 3, and since Tribes of Midgard newly arrived to players on Xbox and Nintendo Switch! In case you’re new here (hello, welcome!!) or need a quick reminder, here’s just some of what rolled in with the Inferno Saga update:



We wanted to take today to talk about your feedback, upcoming improvements, and celebrate what we’ve seen you create so far! Let’s get into it.

[h2]Survival Mode Changes & Construction System[/h2]



First and foremost, we have seen that you have been reaching the limit for Constructions. We completely understand the desire to build bigger, better, and more creative Viking settlements, and it’s one of our top priorities to increase this limitation.

In all transparency, the cap was set in place due to technical limitations, and we’re working on revamping that system to see what’s viable, while ensuring the game remains as stable as possible. We expect the increase in Constructions to take effect in game early October, aligning with our Valhalloween update.

We’ll stay in close touch and let you know as soon as this change can be made - thank you so much for your understanding and patience. It’s not just the Construction limit that we're looking into - we’re also looking into Construction height, pulling Materials directly from Storage Chests, and alerts to prevent dismantling a Storage Chest that contains Items, among a few.

[h2]Top FAQ[/h2]

We also wanted to recap some of the top-asked questions this past week or so:

• Where can Yarn be found?
  • Yarn can be found on Unsunken Enemies at Ash Beach (Survival + Saga), or, it can be crafted through the Tanning Station (Survival) or Tinker (Saga).
    
• Do Ancients respawn in Survival Mode?
  • No, Ancients do not respawn in Survival Mode (however, we’re always open to feedback and this may change in the future). Jötnar respawn and they will level up.
    
• Where can I find Quest Fragments in Survival Mode?
  • You must craft the Artifact Altar. First, you’ll craft the Mining Cutter from the Allforge. Then from the Mining Cutter, you can craft the Artifact Altar, so long as you have a strand of Angrboða’s hair.
    
  • We are also exploring bringing Quest NPCs to Survival Mode in Season 4.
    
• How can I Repair items in Survival Mode?
  • You repair for Souls using the Allforge (deployable anytime from the Build Menu).
    

If you ever have more game questions, don’t hesitate to pop by our Discord.

  • For example, weaker Unsunken Warriors drop Yarn, while the strongest Unsunken Warriors drop Spun Yarn. Now, the strongest Unsunken Warriors will also drop Yarn in addition to Spun Yarn.
