Our Halloween Update is Ready!

A large amount of monsters have received some new attacks.

New Arcana spell Estate Warp (Arcana 45) takes you to your estate.

Ignore a player with Ignore Character or Ignore Account from the right-click menu to hide their chat, whispers and emotes and block their party, trade and duel requests. Manage the list under Ignored Players in Settings.

Hold Shift over an item to compare it with the gear it would replace.

The bank has a search box. It finds items by name, tag, tool, related skill or modifier.

New System chat tab collects system messages, errors and every item and gold pickup. Turn on System Messages in System Tab Only in Settings, or from the tab's right-click menu, to keep them out of your other tabs.

Move the open chat box by dragging any empty part of it, and resize it from its bottom right corner. It remembers both.

Scroll the chat tabs with the mouse wheel and drag them to change their order.

Type /roll in Say or Party chat to roll a number from 1 to 100 for everyone in that channel to see.

World chat now announces player deaths with their cause, and duel wins with both players' levels, as grey system lines. Login notices are gone, and logout notices only go to your party.

New Hide Minimap option in Gameplay settings hides the minimap, its area name and the world clock.

New Dialogue Contrast accessibility setting with Dark Text (near-black text on the parchment) and High Contrast (light text on solid dark panels).

On Linux, the new Performance Power Mode setting in Screen Settings asks your system to use its performance power profile while the game runs. It is on by default, except on Steam Deck.

The character creator has a new darkest skin tone, a deep brown.

Cabbage, Onion and Potato can now be gathered in the fields around Badongerst, with each field marked on the map.

13 Grain bushels now grow around the windmill field, with two Grain pins on the map.

Wells have a new Clay tab, so you can soften Clay into Soft Clay at a well without a bucket of water.

Picking herbs now gives Arcana xp.

New tutorial popups on new characters.

In the graveyard scene, Adon now gives you a Fragile Totem and Cassius Boone explains Ichor, Totems and the temple altar.

When a death leaves your Curse capped at 75%, Adon gives you a one-time tip on lowering it and 5 Small Ichor.

Iris Achate and food sellers now give a one-time tip that cooked food takes far more room in your pack than raw ingredients.

Completing an event at a Desolate Zone now pays every contributor that region's Merits, 1 per point of contribution. Players who were offline get theirs when they next log in.

Town guards now come to help when a player attacks a guard near them.

Characters on a world that refuses transfers can now leave it for good. The game asks you to confirm before playing, editing or renaming such a character, because that moves it off that world and frees its slot there.

Hosts can let chosen Steam accounts bring characters into a world that refuses transfers by listing their SteamID64s, separated by commas, in the TransferExceptionIds world setting

Hosts and staff can change the plaayer limit while the server runs with /maxplayers or --admin maxplayers. Players already online stay, and the new limit is saved to worldsettings.json.

Official Worlds now hold 150 players.

Occultic Charge is now called Mana everywhere, including the HUD orb, shrines, tooltips, messages, quests and dialogue. Charge Recovery is now Mana Recovery.

Various terrain holes around the world have been fixed.

Enchanting now happens through the Enchant I, Enchant II and Enchant III spells, which each open a menu of what that tier can enchant, and Arcane Workbenches have matching Enchant tabs (Enchant I only on the Basic Arcane Workbench). Right-click enchanting on wands, staves, bucklers, jewellery and gems is gone.

Silver and Gold rings and necklaces, and Opal, Topaz, Emerald and Sapphire rings and amulets, now keep their quality when you set a gem in them or enchant them (was a fresh quality roll).

Refined Metal and Refined Wood now roll a quality when you make them.

Gather, Craft and Delivery task progress now counts the items you carry, so it rises as you gather instead of only at hand-in. Fully handed-in tasks are struck through.

Events now pay your full reward as soon as your own contribution reaches it and show "Full Reward Earned" straight away.

A failed event now still pays everyone who reached the half or full reward, and the failure banner says you keep it. Event progress, contributions and rewards owed to offline players now survive a server restart.

The map now shows a quest start pin for every quest you have not started, even before you meet its requirements.

The Tinderbox now holds 50 Mana and spends 1 each time you light a fire (was a 2% chance to break on every fire).

Your waypoint marker is now red on the minimap, world map and warp map, and its ring pulses while Pulse Quest Markers is on. Event markers are now teal.

The Facturr Estate now has a label on the map at its main gate.

Spell tooltips now show the xp each cast gives.

Food tooltips now show the heal you actually get, such as "Heals 100 Health over 15 seconds", and say when Curse lowers it.

Charged rings and necklaces now show in their tooltip what spends their Mana, with the chance when it is not every time.

The Curse tooltip now explains how Curse works and shows when zombies and skeletons leave you alone.

Other players' and enemies' combat sounds now play quieter than your own, while an enemy attacking you stays at full volume.

Piercing Shot and Shrapnel Shot now have their own crossbow animations, and your legs keep strafing while you fire them.

Moving, jumping or walking out of reach now cancels gathering. The cancelled swing gives nothing.

Sorting your inventory or bank now also combines partial stacks of the same item.

Items no longer roll modifiers they cannot use. Fishing Rods and tools skip combat modifiers, weapons only roll the level bonus for their own combat skill, and parry and block modifiers only roll on gear that can parry or block.

Copper, Iron and Steel Swords, Copper, Iron, Steel and Morion Pickaxes, the Copper Greatsword and the Poplar Wand and Poplar Staff no longer carry a damage type their attacks never dealt, so they stop rolling modifiers for it.

Click a name in chat to whisper them even while the chat is closed.

Chat now shows <, >, { and } exactly as typed instead of removing them.

Staff names now show in blue in chat.

The notice that an item was dropped at your feet because your inventory is full now shows at most once every 2 minutes.

Party members on another map or far away now get an invite when the party starts Altarior Motive, and accepting teleports them in.

Spinney Greenwood now tells you that the Dowsing Branch for Paths Diverge drops from the undead.

The Bloat now says the Sickly Looking Ointment is mixed at an Arcane Workbench.

Focused Craft minigames now start with a 3, 2, 1 countdown instead of "Ready?", and you can already play during the warmup.

The materials multiplier in the crafting panel has Min and Max buttons.

Drop-offs now only ask you to confirm handing in Uncommon or better items when those items are gear.

Forager's Sacks can now hold Cotton, Flax, Wool, Spider Silk Fibre and Green Spider Silk Fibre.

Stews, pies, Apple Bread and Cake now give back their Bowl or Dessert Dish when you finish the last portion, not when you cook them.

The map's right-click option is now called Share Spot With Party.

The same enemies out in the open keep their old timers, and the slower ones still count for slay tasks.

Enemies spawned by Pest Control, Private Enterprise, Hamburglars, Rebuild the Food Shed and Reopen the Boiling Lake Cave now drop loot about half as often, and their bonus drops such as Ichor, Raw Meat and Fur are halved. Hamburglars bandits no longer drop cut gems.

Private Enterprise now sends two groups of up to 2 Greedy Occultists, 1 each when playing solo (was one group of up to 6). One group goes for the barrel and the other hunts players. They deal 5 to 7 base damage (was 11 to 13) and respawn 10 s after dying (was 51 s).

Fixed left-clicking a ring or other wearable that has its own actions running that action instead of equipping it. Equip is now the top option in its right-click menu.

Fixed worlds failing to load or save on some Windows PCs, such as ones with Documents synced to OneDrive or protected by Controlled Folder Access. Worlds now live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\InSpades\Everlast\Worlds and your old worlds are copied there automatically, with the originals kept. If Windows security blocks the folder, the game says so and offers Retry.

Fixed Windows characters sometimes being saved inside the game folder, where they could be lost. Characters now live in your local app data folder, and older ones are copied there on first launch.
