Release Notes

New resource: Mournwood, which you can harvest from new Mournel trees that only appear in Lyonesse. Be careful - Fast Travel is disabled if you carry Mournwood.
Mournel trees are very scarce and appear only in the world during regional peak game hours in the evening. You will see the spot where a tree is about to appear in the game map of Lyonesse, a set amount of time before it spawns.
- Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - 6 PM-10 PM
- Tuesday, Saturday - 5 PM-10 PM
- NA shards are set to MT (UTC-7); EU shards (including Arcadia) are set to CET (UTC+1); SEA shards are set to SGT (UTC+8)
Mournel trees are very tough and have a ton of health. Fully harvesting one will likely require sustained effort from many players. However, Mournwood is given in stages; a single player can harvest it, even if entirely chopping down the tree would take much longer.
Lyonesse will gain 12 new Feudal Shrines that only a Clan Elder and the Alderman can claim. Claiming a Feudal Shrine site costs both Gold and Mournwood. The sites have a Mournwood upkeep cost and storage for up to a week of upkeep.
Claiming a Feudal Shrine allows you to place three plots at the site, which can be upgraded to host up to 22 plots.
You can set a Feudal Shrine that your Clan has claimed as your Petra Mea Home point, and you can use a spell that costs 20 Grace to fast travel to it.

Arcadia temporary balancing notice

The balancing for Mournels and the Shrines was temporarily changed in Arcadia for testing and has now been rolled back. The live update uses the intended balancing: Mournel's hardness and health are higher than during the test, and Shrine claiming costs are back to 200 Mournwood and 50k Gold.

Patch Notes

PvP & Lyonesse

You can now acquire Mournwood from Mournel trees in Lyonesse.
You can use Mournwood along with Gold to control one (or more) of the 12 new Feudal Shrines in Lyonesse.
The shrines can be upgraded to allow more building and a feature upkeep system.
The Lyonesse map has been updated to show the Shrines, the heraldry of the controlling Clan, and the Mournel tree spawns.
While bearing Mournwood, characters cannot use Fast Travel miracles, including Unstuck.
Logout time in Lyonesse has been increased to 60 seconds and resets if you take damage during this period. Remember to only log out in locations you know are safe.
Doors require players to be members of the controlling Clan when placed on a plot near a Shrine. We will introduce similar controls outside of Lyonesse.
An issue that sometimes flagged players for PvP upon entering Lyonesse through the safe areas has been fixed.

Gameplay Changes

You’ll now only experience the “20s Weapon Switching Cooldown” when equipping a weapon that is different from the last one that was equipped.
- You can now sheath your weapon, equip bows or tools, and then draw your gun again without incurring the cooldown.
- You can also equip a weapon of the same “type” without incurring the cooldown. So, for example, you can swap between an Iron Mace and a Bronze Mace without a cooldown, but if you swap from Staff of the Divine to Staff of Zephyr, you will incur a cooldown because the two staffs have different spells and attributes.
Fix for NPC spawning issue that caused named NPCs in dungeons to be extremely rare. They should now appear at the expected rates.
Fixed an issue where the Valet of the Chamber was accidentally showing up in a place where it shouldn’t have.
Cultists have heightened security and become more protective of their piles of ill-got loot.
Cave populations have been bolstered and rearranged to the whims of the Divine.
Zebian Cultists have rearranged and bolstered their forces within Zebeum dungeons.
Fixed an issue where multiple players could sit on pre-placed chairs in POIs.
Fixed issues where creatures in caves would spawn in unreachable places.
Demonic trees from the Corrupted Plains biome are no longer interactable by any player-facing means.

Gameplay Balancing

Resource balancing has undergone significant changes, as outlined below. We want to highlight that, while the number of spawn nodes in some cases is now lower than before, total harvestable resources are up across the board for all resources because respawn timers are faster.
XP from Elite and Boss enemies has been increased by 18%.
Elite enemies deal more damage, especially Elite Cultists and Demons.
Enemies should lose interest in you a bit sooner, especially if you haven’t done anything to them and you’re running away from them.
Pure Iron found outside Lyonesse has increased slightly.
Respawn timers for most resources were made significantly shorter. This affects all world areas and effectively makes the amount of daily spawns higher than before, even for resources where the spawn node amount was lowered.
The previous Verse accidentally distributed significantly more Pure Iron and Cotton to Lyonesse than intended. The number of spawn nodes has been reduced, but with the spawn timer change, the total number of daily resources available is higher than in Verse 4.
Lyonesse now spawns all resources that are available in Wildlands.
Enchanting resources spawned on the ground in Lyonesse were reduced from 4 to 2 nodes.
Enchanting resources dropped as loot from NPCs were increased significantly, and the chance of dropping 0 Enchanting resource loot was removed from the Residual Collector, Reaper, and Hoarder. An issue that made Collectors, Reapers, and Hoarders much less likely to spawn than intended has been fixed.
Increased durability and lifetime of weapons, tools, and shields by 33% & decreased lifetime of armor by 33%.
Loot from Loot Piles has improved significantly. You can now expect to get some gold, some stacks of valuable materials, faction relics, and a reasonable chance of getting a rare relic.
NPCs no longer drop Nubuk leather; instead, they may drop Suede leather or better.
Changed some ability cooldowns for NPCs that affect their behaviors in different ways to make them a bit more tactical to fight against.

Building & Crafting

All chests and storage containers have had their capacity increased, and their descriptions now clearly indicate how much they can store. The size of individual containers has also been tuned to better reflect the difficulty and cost of manufacturing them.
- Each storage tier now offers a small selection of mass-produced container options, rather than a single obvious choice. These containers are larger than before, and we hope that, combined with the increased size of many components, this will make inventory management less of a headache for you.
- Recipes for several chests and other storage containers have been updated to better reflect their quality, materials, and relative tier within the progression.
- The Griffin Chest is now produced from more appropriate materials. At launch, it was unfortunately too cheap and easy to manufacture, which overshadowed other storage options. Griffin Chest is intended to be a distinct visual option, not the best storage wooden planks can buy.
Increased stack sizes of various crafting components, most notably for components related to Tailoring, Leatherworking, Baking, and Brewing.
Processing crafters, such as Kilns and Furnaces, now have a more sensible default sorting of Recipes (yes, charcoal now appears before Lime).
Fixed an issue where door states were not replicated correctly and caused problems with more than a single player.
Fixed an issue where the Long Log beam connected one way, but not the other.
Fixed an issue with crafting attempts getting stuck occasionally.
Fixed an issue with grass being visible through the Water Well.
Fixed the inconsistent names of the Limestone wall construction pieces.
Fixed recipe tiers for parted chamois meat.
The Bronze Bar recipe is now unlocked by default.

The Zone & PVP component has been adjusted and moved slightly upwards.
The Main Notification has been adjusted and moved slightly downwards.

The duration of the Active Premium status has been added to the Premium tooltip.
Fixed an issue with duplicated "+" symbols in the Polish localization of the Premium Bonuses tooltip text.
Fixed an issue where flickering occurred in item tooltips within UIs when the language was set to German.

Fixed an issue where the pickup notification would sometimes remain on screen and blink.

The readability of interactive tutorials has been improved.
