Wildlands City

Cubano was hard at work on the new Ork City in the Wildlands. Tucked in the Northeast corner of the region, this port city will be a quick travel destination for players looking to get into some PvP action quickly Be careful when visiting it right now, as we need to make it a Safe Zone for the next update

Matchmaking & Relic-specific Hotbars

Sprocket has been cooking for everyone and fixed Matchmaking (you can queue with ALT + M or by clicking the crossed swords menu icon)! Right now, we have 1v1 Arena and no other options. In the past this system had been designed for BGs, 2v2, 3v3, and even Dungeon Finder. We do not have plans to use it as a Dungeon Finder, however.

Companion Fixes

We've made some changes to the AI behavior for pets, so they will not bug out and should function generally well for now We are working on Recall/Attack/Stay UI buttons to control pets a bit more granularly

Discord Integrations

Hardcore Rankings have been added to the #rankings channel! Hardcore Death messages will now appear in general when a player dies In-game Global chat now appears in game-chat so you can connect with your friends & help others even if you're not online What other ideas would you all like to see?

Steam Auto-Login

Trashman brings you a much-needed feature to make logging in and creating an account super-smooth! Steam auto-login is now live, so you'll jump right to character selection when you open the game

Need/Greed Polish

We've corrected some things with Need/Greed - the rarity color and tooltip will now appear for the item that is being rolled Roll messages will now be sent to the System chat

Small client patch 3.5.2 up on Steam! Spirit Tools Spirit Tools are the most powerful gathering tools currently available in Irumesa. They cannot break, so they don't need to be repaired. However... this comes with a steep cost and requires some special materials to craft. Good luck discovering how to make them!
Melee Range Tweaks Melee range for both auto-attacks and spells has been increased to make combat more fluid. We feel this is nearly perfect in terms of comfort and max reasonable distance to hit vs. monsters and players. Coming Soon: The Scholar Path The follow-up to 'The Peon' is soon to be available when you land on Irumesa! Complete a variety of achievements to complete this path and be rewarded with 350 primordium and 20g!

You'll also find the Trade Route has been setup out there if you are feeling extra risky! Miscellaneous: - Hydra Primordial Spirits added - Melee auto-attack range increased slighty. Let us know how this feels, we may need to look at spell ranges as well - Paladins now start with a greathammer - New, Unique 2-handed Shield added to the game for low level characters - Loot tables have been expanded with more item variety across all monsters - Shrine of Melrenor mobs have had their abilities updated - these changes still need testing, so if anyone wants to run SoM, talk to @captaindave5393 - Mounted animation state bug fixes - Lighting-related bug fixes - QuestTracker bug fixes - Missing Materials fixed (where objects/monsters appeared as white-colored models) - Spell FX-related bug fixes - Infuser spell FX size reductions - Player infobar bug fixes - Monster pathfinding fixes when player/monster are on different layers - Charging / Dashing movement bug fixes - Item tooltip bug fixes - Dungeon bug-fixes - T8 tools are now purple rarity - Monster spell bug-fixes - New PoI: Deadeye's Rest has been added West of The Fighter's Pit and the Hunter trainer has been moved there - Doombringers have had their spell / mechanic added "Indulge Fear" - Over 60 new monsters have been setup and are ready to be placed around the world - Shadowcaster Shadowform has been adjusted to 4 second duration - Larry Cartwright dialogue bug fixes - Trader I gold reward adjusted to 20g - Trade certificates can stack to 250 - A new fish is catchable, very rarely - Well color bugfixes - Invis wall bug fixes - Party Member infobars should now always be green - Trophy Fish can now be sold to the fisherman for a bit of gold - T1 fishing rod recipe fixed
In Progress: Trading Post @sprocket_bbf is working hard on the trading post - with the fundamentals working on dev. Really excited to roll this out for everyone soon!
In Progress: New Cooking Recipes @simsinister plans to begin adding new T5 cooking recipes pretty soon - these should add some more variety to decision making for which food you want to run! In Progress: Legendary Sets @samael5142 has been doing an amazing job concepting and designing the new Legendary sets that will release this year. He also cooked up an epic PvP mount - a Dwarven Chariot, which will come soon.

We still need to add some QoL here but the basic system is functioning Let us know any thoughts around this system and what else you'd like to see!

Unity 6

We've upgraded the engine from Unity 2022 to Unity 6, which means new lighting and performance improvements! Along with this transition, we took the opportunity to try to optimize Farwood and Seaholm - reducing the amount of objects while keeping visual fidelity. Performance seems to have improved a bit here We are looking to implement AI upscaling (i.e. DLSS and FSR) to further boost performance for compatible devices

New Bag Slots & QoL

The new "Pouch" slots have been added, which open up the current "Belt" slots to hold lanterns, tools, weapons, etc. The new "Special Bag" slot has been added, which will be used for earnable bags like and enchanting or herb bag, and more Backpacks and Waist Bags will now seamlessly swap when you drag a larger bag onto your existing bag - no more throwing them on the ground!

UI/UX Improvements

Context Menus should no longer spawn outside of screen bounds When dragging an equippable item, all viable equipment slots will be highlighted with a glowing border in the character window (was previously only main slots) Performance improvements for Spell Slots and Info Bars The chat panel has had the chat type wrapped in brackets and player names have had the bold text setting removed When hitting a monster, a small impact effect will play, giving visual feedback to attacks

Keybinds

For anyone who likes to use Q and E for strafe movement, we've added these keybinds to the settings menu The camera can now be rotated in 360 degree camera mode with keybinds

Miscellaneous

• Chisme went through and added interesting and fun spells/attacks to the Old Mines mobs. This should make the dungeon a bit more exciting to complete!
• Clebarius & @Sprocket have found a way to apply custom materials and VFX to armor and equipment. This will allow for some epic looking gear to make its way into the game!
• Minion damage should now properly appear on the DPS meter for rangers and infusers (previously only minions spells would show)
• Minion Damage will now properly grant the owner skill XP
• Rotating in place while holding CTRL and pressing WASD has been fixed
• Conversations with NPCs will now only take inputs from Local and NPC chat instead of grabbing messages from Guild, Global, and Party as well

• Healing Training Dummies no longer gives Discipline XP

Gamechanger: RELICS
Upon logging in... 1. You'll find a **Relic** equipped based on your class. Relics allow you to switch classes and level all disciplines (Spiritualism, Savagery, etc.) 2. Combat skills have been** reworked** and set accordingly, and individual weapon skills (sword, spear, etc) have been combined: - Melee - Magic - Ranged - Light Armor - Medium Armor - Heavy Armor 3. Disciplines have been** re-organized** and now display in your skills list: - Arcana - Elementalism - Savagery - etc. 4. Spells are now associated with your relic and are darkened on the hotbar until they are usable - you will automatically be able to use new spells when you reach the required level (i.e. 20 Arcana) 5. You can now switch classes by switching the relic that you have equipped! These can be obtained with...
Primordium Primordium is a scarce new currency in Irumesa, found on Primordial Spirits, from Quests, rarely from Gathering, and more! This resource can be exchanged for relics and other items at **Archmage Caelomir** at the Cobalt Tower.
XP Globes XP Globes will now appear when gaining XP in any skill! We've also added a settings section to control the quantity of orbs that are visible, ranging from 0-5. Let us know if you like them or have any thoughts how they could be improved!
Miscellaneous - Info Bars (above player/monster heads) now cycle between the following colors based on Hostile, Friendly, or Neutral states: Green (Friendly, Targeted) Yellow (Neutral) Red (Hostile, In Combat) - Tooltips have been updated with "Heavy Armor" "Medium Armor" or "Ranged Weapon" "Melee Weapon" to better indicate which skill will be trained when using them - Spells cannot be cast unless you are using the correct class, spell Tooltips have been updated to reflect this - Monster Hit Sounds now have a CD so they do not occur too frequently - Melee weapons have had their hit range increased as far as possible (roughly a 20% increase in distance from before) - "Critters" should now be hidden on the minimap (Rabbits, Snakes, etc.) - if you see any other monsters that you think should be hidden, let us know! We will add a toggle option for this soon - Paths will no longer immediately track when receiving them. Players can opt-in to tracking them after visiting the Paths tab in their Quest Log - Armor Skill XP will be gained when taking damage while using a particular set of armor - using a shield will add additional resisted damage to the calculation and help progress these skills faster! - Duskbow, Paladin, and Illusionist have been added to the character creation flow - we are still fine-tuning the Paladin ability FX and will do dedicated showcases on these classes when they are fully complete - Chat messages should no longer be intercepted by NPC conversations. This may cause unintended errors, so let us know if anything is working incorrectly after this change! - Completing the quests on Solitary Isles will reward discipline XP - T5 Alchemy Task Description should be fixed - T7 Woodworking Task should now correctly register T7 bows as they are collected - New Area/Spatial Audio Added to increase immersion throughout Irumesa! - Solitary Isles dialogue improvements - Fog has been fixed! - Tutorial Island area design improved to make it more clear where the crafting table is located - More bug fixes & tweaks to reduce lag / stuttering - More bug fixes to improve free movement interaction with different tile heights / terrain - This should fix a lot of stuck issues. If you see any more, please report them asap! Thanks for all of your support as we continue to build the world of Ethyrial! It truly means a lot - see you in game! -Team OG

Temple of Ethersalos *The once serene Temple of Ethersalos, nestled southwest of Edrivine, has fallen into the clutches of darkness.

Warrens of Thought "Nestled beneath the bustling streets of Edrivine lies a forgotten relic of the citys past, the lost section of Edrivines sewers. This crumbling section, the very first to be built, was once a marvel of architecture. However, as years passed and the city expanded, it fell into disuse and eventually collapsed, sealing its secrets away from the world above. Now, this hidden labyrinth serves as a kingdom for countless rats, who have claimed this derelict space as their own. The air is thick with the musky scent of damp stone and the scurrying of tiny feet echoes through the twisted passages. In the gloom, the glitter of stolen trinkets can be seen, hoarded by the rats from the world above. These clever creatures have amassed an eclectic collection of items, ranging from shiny coins to lost heirlooms, each piece carrying a story lost to time. This is a shadowy maze of crumbling arches and cracked walkways, a stark contrast to the meticulously maintained sewers of the modern city. To the daring few who venture into its depths, it offers a glimpse into a forgotten chapter of Edrivines history, now left to the rats and their trove of stolen memories." Amazing work by Suds, with help from Karlsson on the animations, lighting effects, and more! Good Luck Oath Games Team!

We're excited to present RELICS! "Ancient artifacts that contain the power of Irumesa's legendary heroes and mythical beings. When equipped, they grant a set of abilities that represent a Class." Check out the **Infographic**, the **LIVE w/ DAVE** Video in the post below and some additional Q&A! Next, hop into the discussion thread to share your thoughts! THREAD: https://discord.com/channels/540514574462615552/1299420398386937937 Q: Give me the tl;dr! Relics can be equipped and allow class-switching based on your skill levels - such as Empyrean, Demonism, Spiritualism, etc. Using spells would require skill level. Your spell which requires 30 combat would require 30 Empyrean, Demonism, Spiritualism, etc. instead. Q: What would happen to my current characters? After a future patch you would login with a relic equipped in the RELIC slot with the same class, abilities, and skill levels. Nothing would change unless you chose to make a change. Q: I'm a level 30 Priest with 30 Empyrean - I could play some Dragon Knight if I wanted?" Yes, you'd be able to equip a Dragon Knight, Crusader, or Paladin Relic and have access to their full kits due to your Empyrean level. Q: Why do we have to get primordium to get classes when we can get them instantly by making a new character right now? You can still make a new character! You have 10 character slots, after all. Primordium is an additional feature for those who want the flexibility without the needing to start over on a new character. This is just another path you may choose. Q: Doesn't this dilute the class fantasy? Why can I be a demon worshipper and then a divine priest 1 hour later? The player is just an adventurer within Irumesa, a seeker of knowledge rather than someone bound by a single path or allegiance. Relics grant the true power of each class. Your character isnt defined by a single ideology or discipline, but by their pursuit of greater understanding and mastery over the various powers available to them. Q: Won't everyone be forced to play the "meta" build under this system? Players will still have to invest as much, or more time into progressing disciplines as they would without class-switching. Such a requirement from would exist in both class systems. LIVE w/ DAVE: [previewyoutube=AUJ71vcG17c;full][/previewyoutube]

The machinery leverages Grimbear techniques to power the engine, but has been considered out of place by many in the community. We will hold a poll to see if this mount should be kept or saved for GMs only :pray:

Thank You! We'd like to sincerely thank everyone who has been following our development since we began in July 2023. We appreciate the support, and patience while we've worked to learn game dev from the ground-up and make this game into something very special. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts We're super excited to begin hitting our stride - we'll keep delivering content - under-promising and over-delivering.

Steam Patch 3.2.3 is now live on Steam! Quest Log / Paths We've implemented Chisme 's redesign of the Quest Log and also added a new tab for Paths! Tasks will appear above your quests so they are easy to access. Paths will be meta-quests that are obtained automatically or upon reaching all of the requirements. They will help to showcase and reward all of the different types content that Ethyrial has to offer!
New Quests, Monsters, & PoIs Van Corving, Vampire Hunter is now available! This quest is the introduction to the Monster Hunters and tasks players with defeating a formidable Vampire. This quest was written by Winterslice, be sure to let him know how you like it! Voracious Predator has been implemented. Learn about some manafused shenanigans in part 1 of a series of quests. Wasps outside of Edrivine have had their environment updated. Forest Spirit outside of Edrivine have had their environment updated. Lightning Elementals West of Edrivine have had their environment updated. Added more visual detail to the Grovekeeper location. New Talent added to discover. Added a new swamp zone next to the Grovekeeper location. Updated environment design for forest locations outside of Edrivine. Add more visual detail to the Wizard's tower outside of Edrivine. An astronomer's house can now be found near Thistlebrook. Trappers added. Skeleton Warriors added. Skeleton Archmage added. Highwayman added.
New Grass & Moonlight New grass has been implemented, which features more variety than the former grass design. We've also added moonlight effects at night which reflect the actual colors of Irumesa's three moons: Lithos (Blue), Eranam (Green), and Augem (Red). This ties into things like the Fishing skill catch bonus during Augem!
QoL Added a 'destination marker' when clicking on the minimap. Pressing Escape will now close all open windows first, then open the escape menu. Right-clicking a hostile target will target it. Right-clicking again will cause the player to run to the target and begin auto-attacking. Left-clicking a resource node will automatically move the player to the node and begin gathering with the first available tool. Swapping 2H items with double-click is now possible. It will unequip dual-wield items and place them in your bag, or reject the attempt if your bag is full. Taskboard turn-ins will no longer take from your equipped items. (i.e. Drakonium turn-in) Mail and Trade Pack values should should now persist through logins. (In the event you die in the Wildlands and untradeable items are mailed to you, they shouldn't be lost if you happen to logout before taking them) Base Run Speed has been increased by 5%. All three road buffs have been reduced by 5%. We've implemented a fix for desync that worked when testing on development. Let us know if you experience any issues with this going forward. A Quest Marker system has been added. Currently it is in testing on early game NPCs. Once we've worked out any bugs, we will roll this out to all relevant NPCs! Fixed a bug that caused a complete client crash when clicking on an unpathable waypoint. The research cooldown on monsters should be properly fixes now! The chat will no longer scroll to the bottom every time a new message comes in. If the chat is scrolled up, it will remain in place. Chatting will no longer stop the player from autorunning. Attempted bugfix for players getting from when entering an arena match. Guild Notifications will now post in chat when the guild levels up. Dawn's Light can now be dual-wielded. Thanks for your support while we continue to improve the world of Irumesa - see everyone in game! Team OG
