Hello, dear Rafters! It is a new year and it is time for a new DevBlog! We hope 2022 has treated you well so far, and that your holidays have been chill and full of joy! As things go, we have gone back to working from home here in Sweden, but our spirits are high and we are powering on as usual! So, let us get into what is happening with Raft!

We will get straight into what you are all probably wondering; what is happening with Chapter 3? We have noticed a lot of you were expecting the next part of the story to drop before Christmas, and that is understandable as Chapter 1 and 2 were both released around October/November. We would have loved to be able to give you Chapter 3 at that time, but believe me when I say, it would not have been pretty. Chapter 3 is not quite ready, and that is mainly due to two factors.

Firstly, the Renovation update we released last summer did eat into development time from Chapter 3, as many of you have guessed. We have received quite differing opinions on whether prioritising the Renovation Update over Chapter 3 was a smart choice. Many loved the new building and furnishing options, but a lot of you also just craved more story. But the Renovation Update also included a lot of features, bug fixes and changes we had wanted to do for Chapter 3 anyways. So, it seemed to us that releasing all these changes, along with more decorative objects and features, was the best way forward, instead of waiting and bundling them together with Chapter 3, which we knew was quite a bit away still.

The second, and major, reason Chapter 3 has taken more time than the previous installments is simply that it will deliver a whole lot more than before. First and foremost, it will be bigger than before, and apart from the things you have come to expect from a chapter update, like new story islands, new small islands, new raft machines and building parts, we have some really cool things in the works that you have yet to see in Raft. We will not reveal all of that in this dev blog though.

First up on the list are new playable characters that you’ll be able to find and unlock out in the world. These will have a connection to the place where you find them and provide you some insight into their background. We are not ready to show the finished characters right now, but we will not leave you completely empty handed. So here is a teaser.



If you follow us on social media you have probably seen some of the teasers we have posted there regarding one of the new destinations. In case you missed it, here you go!






But of course, that is not the only new destination for Chapter 3. We have got something a bit more… chilly for you. We posted the following images a while ago.




There has been some speculation as to where they belong, and we are glad to be able to reveal their snowy origins.





We generally do not want to spoil too much of what is to come in our updates, as we believe it is better to experience most of it in game. Therefore we will hold on to the final destination of Chapter 3 for a later time. Oh, yes, there is a third destination.

With Chapter 3 in the works we decided to do a major refresh of the story. The essence remains the same, but we have rewritten almost all of the notes to make them easier to read and follow. Unnecessary characters and names have been removed to reduce confusion and we have made sure there is a more consistent and engaging story throughout all of the destinations. We have reduced the amount of text that does not add to the story, and we have added text that enriches it. We are even working on introducing playback for the notes, for those who prefer to just listen while they keep playing.

You might find yourself with a lot of stuff in your storage that you do not really need anymore. Well, that is finally going to come to use! You will be able to process a variety of items, such as planks, scrap metal, plastic etc, into scrap cubes. These scrap cubes can then be used as currency at trading outposts which you will find at various locations around the world. The trading outposts will offer various items, including, but not limited to, special cooking and juicer ingredients, stunning hats and equipment.



With all of that being said, we have many more machines, buildables, quality of life fixes and much more in the pipeline, but we will get to that in a future devblog. For now, we wish you a great 2022 and good times on the sea!

A new year begins and that means new challenges! Yes!! o(≧∇≦o)



Travel to the Valley of the Ice Hearts and venture into new maps, new dungeons, and above all, more power with the new level cap!



We start 2022 on the right foot, and with a new level cap, it's time to stop being AFK in Navea or your guildhall. Climb to the top, and beyond!

The maximum level is now Slv25 (125) and if you wish to be anonymous you will have to level up to Slvl15.



But what about the required experience?

The experience required from Slvl16 to Slvl20 has been lowered to make it easier for you to reach the new maximum level.

Are there Mirabelle quests?

Of course, there are! Here we will tell you all about them!



To access these quests, you must reach Slvl6 and complete the main quest "SLv6. Savior's Arrival" that will you access to four new quests for the dungeons Hidden Crystals Cave (Solo), Ancestral Spirits Temple (Solo), OW: Glacial Ice Cavern (Solo) and OW: Subterranean Sanctuary (Solo).



Remember that you can complete these quests every day and only once per day.

And along with the new level cap, we bring you a new and unique feature!





Only envoys who reach for the stars can unlock the highest potential of their class. We call these envoys 'Class Masters'.

But did you know that this is not the end of the journey? There are hidden experts who reach the highest level of multiple classes. True 'Class Masters'.

Upon reaching SLv25 with one class you will receive the item: 'Class Master Certificate Lv. 1'. Proof of being worthy to be called a 'Class Master'.

For each class you can receive **one** 'Class Master Certificate Lv. 1'.

Multiple 'Class Master Certificate Lv. 1' can be fused to upgrade it. The maximum level is right now Lv. 18.

To fuse your 'Class Master Certificates' simply go to Navea to the location X870 Y700 and talk to the statue of <Lion King> Scar. He will help you with your request.

The 'Class Master Certificate' provides one random buff from a selected pool of buffs:

- PEN

- DMG

- Detail-DMG

- DMG against all elemental targets

- MSPD

For each level of the 'Class Master Certificate' the provided buff increases.

A Lv. 1 certificate will provide a +1% buff, while a Lv. 15 certificate will provide a +15% buff.

The buff lasts for 60 minutes. All 'Class Master Certificates' have a cooldown of 60 minutes.

But what would a new level be without new maps? (੭˃ᴗ˂)

We present the new maps here:






A city famous for its crystals and unique landscapes. Winter is still in full swing here!
However, for all its breath-taking beauty, it has never been a place of peace. Here the past or the present are of no importance.








Here, the density of the majestic trees covers most of the sunlight, it is as if they don't want the sun's rays to reach those who it covers.

There is a peaceful atmosphere but there is something unsettling about it as well!



Get ready to fish, collect, dig, cook, learn the stories of the villagers, and obtain many new achievements!

Note that to access these maps you need to be at least Slvl15, so no excuses and start levelling!



Both new dungeons come in their 4 modes: Solo, Solo hard, Party, and Hell Mode.




The once Aviar Artifact Sanctuary is now completely overrun by dangerous monsters, who lie in wait for their next prey.



Requirements

✔ Your character must be Slvl15 or higher.

✔ Go to Snow Crystal Plainson coordinates X885, Y905






You will be enchanted by the blue plants that fill the valley and every stone step in your path covered with moss. When you look up you will see a beautiful golden glow spread throughout the forest.



But not all is bliss, little by little this beautiful energy has been corrupted by an evil aura that begins to rise from deep within the forest.

Requirements

✔ Your character must be Slvl15 or higher.

✔ Go to Deep Hidden Valley on coordinates X794, Y835

Rewards from both dungeons:

From the bosses you can get the following items:

• SLV20 Unidentified Armor Formula

• Unidentified Legendary Awakening Weapon Crate (Slvl15)

• Weapons and Armor green quality Slvl20

• Slvl20 Equipment Refining Stone (Orange) and more!

From the mobs you can get the following items:

• SLvl10 Basic enchantment Card Treasure Chest

• Weapons and Armor green quality Slvl20

• Holy Flash EXP Stone – more experience to level up your stones

• New materials to craft cores Slvl 20 and much more!

And many more drops await! So, put on as many charms as possible and start farming!






Alucard came to the border of Azuria in search of a Maker. He wishes to find the legendary promise, but many obstacles are in his way. Will he find what he is looking for?



It is said that he is always looking for someone special, his soul mate, but he hasn't had any luck yet...could you possibly be his special someone?

This dungeon is available on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Requirements

✔ Your character must be Level 60 or higher

✔ Visit Louise in Navea X:403, Y:512

✔ Accept the quest “Lv60. Dragon Tyrant’s Journey”

Rewards

After completing the quest, you will receive Alucard’s Gossip.

Purchase from Louise the Alucard’s Dragon Scroll (Locked) and fuse it with the Alucard’s Gossip item to get Alucard’s Dragon Scroll from which you can obtain the following items:

✔ Alucard’s Gossip Costume

✔ Rare Reversed Scale Alucard pet

✔ Alucard’s Key of Gaia and Alucard’s Key Fragment

✔ Eidolon Accessory Boxes, and more!








Having severed all ties with the outside world, a group of otters now dig holes in the forest.



Go and see what you can find!

Requirements

✔ Your character must be Slvl15 or higher

✔ Go to Cackatara Forest [Map 5] X243 Y654

✔ Enter the OW: Cactakara Forest dungeon (Solo, Solo Hard, Party and Hell Mode)

Rewards

A horde of sea creatures has appeared on the north side of the Helonia Coast. Envoy, please drive away these invading sea creatures.

✔ Go to Navea X416, Y392 and talk to the NPC Kerton.

✔ Enter the portal that appears 5 minutes before the event starts!

✔ The event is starting at 5 PM server time

*Please note that is event is only available for a limited time. It will be available until the next patch.

Rewards

You will be rewarded according to the number of opponents you have defeated. Get a chance to get Eidolon fragments, Valor coins, War coins, Loyalty Points, pets, and much more!



✔ The encyclopedia has been updated: you will now be able to get Slvl1 green quality equipment and Slvl5 gold quality equipment.

✔ Now you can upgrade the skills of the following Eidolons: Cleopawtra, Muramasa, Venus, Izanami, Hebe, Eirene, Demeter, Hades, Hermes, and Succubus.

✔ Update Hero Score Ranking 1st place reward: In addition to the usual prizes, you could get Cursed Horn Lulu

After defeating it, you will receive the Eidolon Key Fragment Treasure Chest item via in-game mail, from which you can obtain Eidolon fragments!

✔ Some localization issues have been fixed!

Enjoy the patch! (≧∇≦)/

Your Aura Kingdom Team ♡

Hello Alchemists,

We hope you all had wonderful Holidays!
Thank you to everyone who has participated in the Feast of Winter Cone seasonal event. Let us know what you think about it and if you managed to find all the decorations around your shop!

This small update will retire the Feast of Winter Cone event as well as address “the empty map issue” that some players have encountered before. We’re aware of this one and are trying to resolve it with this update. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bit more complex than we originally thought, so we hope this update will fix it (or at least will give us some more information). If you still encounter “the empty map issue”, please do let us know in the #bug-reports section of our Discord server.

• The Feast of Winter Cone event is now over.
  
• Hopefully the “empty map issue” that some players could have encountered, is now fixed. If you're still experiencing this issue, please let us know.

The second edition of the Big Adventure Event will be live on Steam from 20 to 24 January.
"30 Birds" will be showcased in the festival, along with tens of amazing indie games.

A DEMO OF THE GAME WILL BE PLAYABLE from the 20th, so be sure to get your hands on it!

Please share!
(It's the first time the game will be featured on a festival on Steam so we're very excited about it!)



Peace,
Laurent and Coline

- Added Tutorial System
- Bug fixed.

Hi!

We're releasing a small update today, bringing a number of small bugfixes and performance improvements done during the console port.

We'd like to apologize for the lack of meaningful content updates since the game's release. The main reason behind this drought is the console ports taking more time than expected, as the new consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series) aren't as compatible with the previous generation as one would expect, and had to be treated as a whole new platform, delaying the whole process.

However, the ports are almost complete and we'll able to resume work on new content soon. We've planned a new set of starter weapons (to increase initial weapon variety), a new enemy family and a new unlockable character. See you soon!

Improvements

• Done several performance improvements to the "Town" theme.
  
• Minor overall GPU usage improvements.

Bugfixes

• Fixed wrong enemy spawn location in the "Town" theme.
  
• Fixed fire damage buffs not being applied to enemies set on fire by Sirius' Blaze.
