Hey divers! Just dropped a small update to make the world feel more alive:

🐟 Added more peaceful fish and corals
🎮 Smoother movement tweaks
🐞 Minor bug fixes here and there

Thanks so much for playing and exploring the deep with me! 💙

Greetings Adventurers,

We have released a hotfix to Steam to address the issue with previous save files having issues after taking town side quests.

Crossplay from Steam to Xbox and PlayStation builds is temporarily disabled until the hotfix has propagated to those platforms. We will update in-game when the hotfix is live across all platforms.

Thanks again for all of the continued support and feedback!

Hey everyone,

We’re back once again with yet another Hotfix! We’ve analyzed more and more of your data and made some more changes that should really help to tighten up your experience as you make your journey through Isola Sacra!

Apart from fixing bugs and some performance issues that were reported, there’s also bigger quality of life changes in here like allowing players to carry a much bigger stack size per item. We’ve also fine-tuned some of the level scaling in order to create a smoother leveling experience.

And we’re not done yet, we’re already hard at work on a bigger patch that will add more features to No Rest for the Wicked!

As always, we hope you’re having a great time exploring and fighting your way through Sacra - Here’s the full list of changes:

Hello, Guardians and Bosses!

In this update, we’re introducing a new feature: the Quick Cast option!
If you're already familiar with boss skill ranges, Quick Cast allows you to instantly cast a skill in the position of your mouse with a single key press.
We've also completely reworked Grizzly's [Frenzy] ability, which previously had very low popularity.

We’re currently focusing development efforts on the highly requested Guardian AI.
Progress is going well, and we’re hoping to introduce it in the next update.

• Boss Quick Cast: Added an option for instantly casting skills in the direction of the mouse upon pressing a shortcut key.

---


Foxley

• Max HP increased: 14,000 → 14,500

Grizzly

• [Frenzy] perk rework: Move speed based on HP → Can move while using basic attacks (speed: 20% / 50% / 100%)

---

🛠 Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where stun effects wouldn’t apply if a Guardian was hit at the end of their attack animation.
  
• Fixed an issue where players could resize the window in windowed mode.

There are 162 total points on the tree but you can use 100 of them freely. You can also reset the tree anytime without any cost.

• Fix for End of Day Menu Bug

Guilds are now forming in the lands of Erasan! Form powerful alliances with other players — gather, strategize, and conquer together. Guild chat is now live to support teamwork and coordination. We have also introduced rested bonus for standing/logging-out in a house now provides an out-of-combat move speed buff and a regen bonus. New resistant potions have been added, to help reduce potion "chug" and improve game play techniques. Finally our loot system has been completely redesigned to allow a more dynamic drop system.

• Guild chat, and group objectives are now live to support teamwork and coordination.
  
• Nobles can speak with Ella Baerin in Empo Sar Castle to officially register a guild.
  
• Guild halls are not available yet, but groundwork is being laid. Stay tuned!

• The rested bonus for standing/logging-out in a house now provides an out-of-combat move speed buff (+15%) and a regen bonus (+2/s). This change follows concern from players about providing exp/skill/loot bonuses when rested, whilst still providing a meaningful benefit for house ownership. This also aligns with our longer-term goal to replace the existing exp/loot reduction system.

• New resistance potions have been added. Some of these provide resistance to DOT effects, others provide physical/magical defense bonuses. The effects from potions do not stack. Instead the greatest current active resistance of any given type will be used. The purpose of these new potions is to help reduce potion 'chug', without too dramatically removing potions as a gold sink.
  
• Antidote elixir has been replaced with a poison resistance potion and now has a new sprite. Existing antidote elixirs in player inventories will be updated automatically.
  
• Books only display their titles if you're within 1 tile.
  
• Books now display their title when examined.
  
• Keys only display their descriptions/hints if you're within 1 tile.
  
• Frostberry sell price reduced to 3 copper.
  
• Ostren egg buy/sell price adjusted. 280/140.

• Added new farms around Empo Sar and removed redundant areas west of it. If you are stuck, please contact one of our team members to help you.
  
• Shifted Bar-gura spawns around, while adding one new spawn.
  
• Christmas related content removed until next year.

• DOT effects (e.g. burning) now stacks. Diminishing returns applies to stacking DOT effects according to a 'diminishing-2' scaling rule. This means that the total applied DOT damage in any given tick can never exceed 2× the highest individual DOT damage entry for that tick. Different DOT effects (poison, burning, etc.) diminish separately. All previous monster DOT damage has been adjusted to account for this change.

• Fixed bug where Multishot was bypassing target validation, allowing avatars to be attacked after leaving PVP regions.
  
• Fixed issue with Doom spell.

• Improved UX for new journal entries.
  
• Improved UX for journal sorting.
  
• Journal topic sorting (by name, order, ascend, descend).
  
• Improved UX with extended use of highlighting items - now it includes all usables and signs, blackboards, etc...
  
• Improved UX for using doors: locked doors will show pop-up on use to notify the player.
  
• Improved UX for notifications at the bottom (removed the line "You cannot walk there", adding dark background for remaining notification for readability).
  
• Improved left-click auto-walk when going down stairs; you can now also click on the stair.
  
• Fix small issue with RMB on channel button when names are too long. Now showing full name instead of cut-off name.
  
• Fixed some issues with left/right panels when they had no space.
  
• You can now add someone to your friendlist via the players context menu.
  
• Channel button colors are added to better distinguish DM, Guild & Party channels.
  
• Smileys disabled for info channel.
  
• Guild benefits mentioned in Store.
  
• Small improvement in input fields.
  
• Channel button colors are added to better distinguish DM, Guild & Party channels.
  
• Updated world map.

• Some minor tweaks have been made to monster auto-healing when idle. In most cases this should not be noticeable.
  
• Frog attributes changed, as its stats accordingly Level 8 => 12
  
• Outlaws changed, as their stats accordingly, Thief Level 21 => 14 Removed thief's cloak drop, Bandit Level 25 => 16, Hunter Level 28 => 18.
  
• Dwarf Artificer- Reduced magic shield potency. This change should reduce the artificer's durability and shield output.
  
• Fastfoot Rufus- Bleeding chance increased to make up for the slower DOT damage.
  
• Zombie fiend behavior changed, more suitable to its level.

• Loot has been completely redesigned to use the new model.

• It's rumored that a rare and magically resonant gem has recently been unearthed from a forgotten vein in the mines of Hilafo.
  
• The black flag of a pirate ship has been sighted in the seas south of Empo Sar.
  
• Renowned researcher Marias Peraphil is said to have left Empo Sar after dispute with the crown, and hasn't been seen since.
