Dear friends!

This is an interim but very important update.

Vocation Movement Speed

A number of Vocations were given a passive speed boost:

• Physical Vocations (except Hunter): +10%;
• Universal Vocations: +5%;
• Magical Vocations: 0%, except for Necromancer. Their bone-thin legs carry their nearly negative HP 5% faster.
• These are values meant to be tested. We intend to to implement more detailed Vocation adjustments later, including within each specialization;

AOE Magic

• Added obstacle penetration checks originating from spell centre of origin with specific offset rules;
• Currently, spells don’t consider obstacle material but account for thickness (generally penetrates if it’s lower than 5cm)
• Obstacle height matters. "Immolation" cast directly under a low fence won't damage targets behind it;

Shields

• Melee weapons/crossbow bolts/magic projectiles: Shield defense stats apply when hitting shields;
• Targeted (single-direction) buff/debuff magic: Dispelled when hitting shields;
• AOE Magic:
• Fire: Shield defense applies when facing the centre of spell’s origin;
• Air: Ignores the shield completely;
• Water and Earth: Damage/effects is fully blocked by shields

Magic Rebalance

• Air: AOE — min. damage decreased by 20%, CD increased to 4.3s, range decreased to 25m;
• Fire: AOE — CD increased to 5.5s, range decreased to 15m;
• Earth: S and М missiles — damage increased by 15%, AOE — damage increased by 20%;
• Water: AOE — damage increased by 40%, range increased to 24m;

Other

• Satiety depletion was decreased 4 times, until we make changes to the mechanic;
• Added T7-T9 equipment merchants; T4-T9 equipment prices increased by 40% on average;
• Redistribution points (Tabula Rasa) now granted immediately upon entering the circle, along with the the scroll in the tutorial;
• Now items with red frames drop even with “Rookie” level of karma;
• Fixed excessive item drops for "Ugly" and "Psycho" karma levels;

Resource Gathering Changes: Why?

The reason is upcoming T2-T3 gathering points, already reflected in T1 counties:

• T1 Counties: Primarily low-weight, low-quality resources:
• 80% of slabs, logs, and ore chunks spawn with size S, the rest 20% is evenly split between M and L;
• 80% resources is low quality, other 20% is of medium and high quality;
• T2 Counties: Primarily medium-weight, medium-quality resources:
• 80% of slabs, logs, and ore chunks spawn with size M, the rest 20% is evenly split between S and L;
• 80% resources are medium quality, other 20% is of low and high quality;

*The quality of metal progression is inverted—high-quality ore means more base metal but fewer rare metals.

In-Game Store

• Added 10 new skins for shields;
