This patch is mostly about fixing the biggest Performance issues occuring inside The Great Forge. There are a couple of things that were fixed along the way such as Slorm Reaper Affinity and Enhancement Runes not working.
Once I've dealt with the most important issues, I'll upload anohter patch and write a proper Patch Notes listing all the changes. Tomorrow most likely.
Preface All information detailed and explained in these announcement posts are subject to change at any time during development without warning. Please refer to official patch notes upon release for confirmed full details.
Introduction
Welcome to the final announcement for the Throne of the Herald Expansion!
This announcement is focused on providing details of what we may have missed in previous announcements, ranging from new QoL additions to answers for FAQs.
Note: This will only focus on important information that has been missed. Any further small changes, balancing or minor QoL additions will be detailed in the update’s patch notes upon release.
In short: We have pushed back the release date as we need a few more weeks to polish it up and ensure the release is as smooth as possible.
The release date is not far away at all! Keep your eyes peeled for an announcement (you know how I like to be spontaneous).
New Quality of Life Features
New Equipment Slot - “Consumables”
Available for everyone
When loading into the update, you will be greeted with a brand new Equipment Slot - the “Consumables” Slot. This new slot will now be home to all equippable consumable items that are not classed as Ranged Ammunition.
Now, you are no longer required to sacrifice Ranged Ammunition for a Consumable.
Combat Quick-Equip
Available for everyone
We have designed a new system to enable an easier gear-swapping experience for everyone.
When clicking on an equipment Slot in Combat, you will be greeted with a new “Quick-Equip” menu. Here you will be able to set up to 3 different pieces of equipment for that specific slot, enabling you to quickly switch between these items without the requirement of opening your Bank.
These slots are unique to their respective Equipment Set. This means you can have different sets of items in each Equipment Set.
Agility Blueprints
Available for everyone
A common suggestion we have received is the ability to make Agility Obstacle switching less tedious. With the introduction of the Throne of the Herald expansion (which brings even more Obstacles), we felt now was the right time to introduce something to assist with this.
An Agility Blueprint is a fancy name we have given to what is essentially an Agility Loadout or Agility Set. It provides the ability to Save and Load predefined Agility Obstacles as you please.
When setting up an Obstacle Course, you can save that course as a Blueprint. At any given time, you may load that Blueprint to quickly build the Obstacle Course again. You can even apply a custom name to these Blueprints.
This feature is super helpful for those who would like to switch from a Combat-based course to a Skilling-based course.
It is important to note that a Blueprint does not make the Obstacles free. You are still required to front up items and GP equal to whatever it would have cost to manually switch back.
Separated Completion Log
For those who purchase the Throne of the Herald expansion, you may be wondering how completion is affected by the addition of new content.
With the expansion, the Completion Log has been separated into three different sections:
Base Game completion
Throne of the Herald Completion
True Completion (Combined completion for the above two categories, and future Expansions)
Each section tracks the progress of their respective categories. For example, Base Game completion will only show you the progress of Base Game content.
This means purchasing the Throne of the Herald expansion will have no effect on your existing progress, as the content contained within is completely separate.
Another great thing about the separation is the ability to choose which progress is visible to you. You can select any of the three categories to be visible in the sidebar and Completion log.
This image example shows Throne of the Herald as the selected Completion category, with the respective percentages updated according to progress in the expansion only.
Mod Manager Preview
For those who were asking, here is a previous of what the in-game Mod Manager looks like.
You can see the Manager is currently populated with some Mods. Our awesome modding community is already hard at work converting existing Mods to the new Mod Support & API!

FAQs
Will the Throne of the Herald Expansion have new Skillcapes? Yes! Every Skill is getting their very own “Superior” Skillcape at Level 120. These capes are an upgraded version of the Level 99 Cape.
There is also a Superior Max Skillcape for when you reach Level 120 in all Skills!
Will I lose my Max Cape when Township is released? No, you will not. You get to keep and wear the Max Cape even when Township is level 1.
With the addition of Township, we thought it would be unfair if players lose the ability to wear the Max Cape until they reach Level 99.
The Max Cape will still inherit all Skillcape abilities. However, it won’t inherit the Township Skillcape’s benefits until Level 99 Township is achieved.
I’m 100% completion, will I lose my Cape of Completion? For this specific cape, the answer is yes.
Those who have reached 100% completion will be required to reach that again when the expansion update drops if you wish to wear that Cape.
It is important to note that you only need to reach 100% Base Game Completion if you do decide to purchase Throne of the Herald. No Throne of the Herald content is required to wear the Cape of Completion.
Astrology - Will we get a refund? With the Astrology rework, the bonuses provided by your constellations will be reset to 0 (Skill XP, Mastery Level and XP are not affected).
Because of this - you will receive a 100% Stardust and Golden Stardust refund when loading into the update.
What platforms is the Throne of the Herald Expansion releasing on? It will be released on all Platforms that Melvor Idle is available on at the exact same time.
Will installing Mods disable our Steam achievements? No, they will not. Achievements will still be active and available to obtain if you use Mods.
Will I need to unlock Township in Adventure Mode? Due to the nature of the Skill, Township will be unlocked from the beginning in Adventure Mode. There is no need to purchase it and unlock it.
Conclusion
We’re getting closer and closer to the release date announcement. Be sure to keep an eye on announcements to be the first to know!
funs We'd like to give you a little bit of information about the development of our game.
At the moment the game is already in the stage of the demo version in which you will be able to play soon.... 😉for sure some of you have already guessed when🤫, but we will announce it with a separate news item

We are very excited to share this world with you here! Although it is not perfect, it only includes some basic functions. Next, please check its manual~
"Endless Trek" is a sandbox survival+open world production game with its own plot structure. You will complete character creation and wake up in the recovery room. When you wake up, you will immediately activate the spirit of the adjutant to guide the players,
And after simply understanding the background story, you can enter the asylum to explore the original world freely. The human expeditionary force that passed through the original world still retains some medieval knowledge and equipment, which is very different from the indigenous people who are relatively backward in civilization. However, the iron rule of the human expeditionary force is that it is not allowed to enslave, plunder, or squeeze the lives and resources of other worlds in the name of expedition, so many indigenous people are very close to the expeditionary force and willing to join the camp.
There are rich resources in the refuge, which can be used to make sharp swords and hard protective equipment or building materials. Here we will build our own camp to survive better, until we can gradually unlock the fog of Eredison that permeates the periphery of the refuge and explore the mysterious original world
Remember to be careful of these mists... They can make people lose control. At the same time, beware of the creatures on this land. Not all creatures are friendly to humans
If you are interested in exploring the endless world, you are welcome to follow and join the wish list to check our latest developments. We will meet here on time every Friday to share development logs, interesting development stories and recent activities Team vision As for why we want to open such a pit, it must be because we love to play. There is no meaning of being tall. Our team is relatively small. At present, there are only five people, four developers and one handyman (is me). We have always liked survival games. We thought about them while playing. After a long time of accumulation, we decided to implement this idea this year. The demo shown in the video is the result of our development for one month. Many basic functions have not been developed yet. Small teams open such large pits, which are always more difficult than expected, but fortunately, we still have some accumulation, At present, we are solving the problem of fog (the fog of Ulyson). We do not want to simply present a foggy "paper" experience, but a solid area, which is closer to the real experience from the perspective. The current overall development progress is nearly 15%
For example, we will also participate in the new product festival that Steam will open next year, when the first alpha test will be opened, and we will share the details in the development log after the demo package is developed At the same time, we welcome you to pay attention to other official communities in the endless world QQ：599290728 Blibili： 满汉全席工作室 微博： 满汉全席工作室 We will regularly update the development log and recent situation in the community, and welcome everyone to exchange and discuss~
