Hello Riftanians! I come to you with another update with some small fixes!

I also updated the Ring of Prosperity

Ring of Prosperity - Doubles item drops! Now gives 1 extra chance to roll a boss unique when worn (opening the dungeon boss caskets, example Sky Watcher's Casket)

FIXES:

- Not really a fix but Parry switched to level 42

- Fixed Rift Materia Enhancer actually not applying anything... sorry about this! Now it should work!

- Fixed Archer not having Quick Shot and Arrow to the Wound!

- Fixed the Archery moves to not cause the character to move once arrow is fired, fixed all animations for archery!

- Removed Element Absorbtion from Cradallian Monk/Guard, Palein priest/guard, and Pikarian priest/guard!

- Removed Demon General Boon hitting 2x with his Scythe (Old Scythe formula)

- Added a 5% Crit Chance to bosses (5% chance to crit you)


Currently looking into fixing:

Once you obtain One-Eyed Jack, you can switch him out obviously at the Recruitment Guild...

At the moment if you remove him from your party (putting him in the guild) between the area you obtain him, and before you get to FrostEdge and enter it's Recruitment Guild for the first time, he will be gone until you make it to FrostEdge Recruitment Guild... looking to fix this next update!

Your hook, also known as the Hand-String Manipulator (or HSM), is the most versatile tool at your disposal. So what exactly can it do?

• Pick up various objects and weapons.
  Whether it's a dirty mug or a bottle...
  
  
  
  ...or a fresh SMG—your hook will never let you down!
  Think of all the possibilities in the heat of the fight!
  
  
  
• Let your surroundings work for you.
  Use your hook to explode those suspicious red barrels in the face of your enemies...
  
  
  ...or let a bunch of steel pipes fall on their heads. No matter what you choose, you're gonna deal some real damage.
  
  They never knew what hit them
  
  
  
• Mess with your enemies.
  Forget about items and barrels. You can even use your hook directly on your foes!
  Steal their guns straight from their hands...
  
  
  
  ...or pull them towards certain death. No escape!
  
  Another game with deadly pits and spikes. Classic!
  
  
  
• Glide through the air.
  And of course, last but not least, your grappling hook can act as a movement tool. You can use it to grapple onto hooks and other specific objects to swing around with no problem!
  
  Sounds fun, right!?

In conclusion, there are many ways to use your grappling hook. And we may have even more in the future, so be sure to follow us on Twitter and join our Discord community, so you won't miss out on any news.
Until next time, agents ːB1ː

Farm Manager World Team

Estimated date for game's release is around Q4 of 2024.

I am also starting a dev updates discussion on the community hub.
I will see how many updates I will actually post, depending on interest there will be.

The discussion in Community Hub may contain spoilers.

I am thinking of posting updates in the store page's news, that will not contain spoilers.

Would a once in a month update seem good?

Many games have mascots, but this game, having completely forgotten about that aspect, ends up with Eve as the de facto mascot. As one of the first characters to appear, she stays by the protagonist's side, responsible for guiding new players through tutorials and driving the story forward. Of course, she's also responsible for sabotaging the protagonist.

As a representative of the elf race, Eve's personality deviates from what most people traditionally associate with elves. She's unscrupulous when it comes to self-preservation, enjoys eating meat and drinking alcohol, and has no qualms about killing. The only characteristic she shares with the stereotypical elf, perhaps, is her exceptionally good looks.

Look forward to her battles with the orcs!
