Update #2: The Mage Tower Has Been Unleashed!

Hello fellow adventurers!

Our 2nd major content update is now available. We know many of you have been waiting for the Mage Tower, so we're very excited for today's release! Please see note below about previous game worlds and save files.

NEW:

  • You can now buy land to build a mage tower from any town mayor

  • Blueprints are now available to be purchased from the town mayor and conclave chapterhead

  • Mage Towers can be built room-by-room using the new Mage Tower build mode

  • Each room in your Mage Tower can serve a variety of functions, based on 12 different room types (listed below) and provides some extra storage to your tower.

  • Bedroom - gives the option to Sleep and Treat Injuries (provided there is a Healer located in the town next to your tower).

  • Study - allows you to “Study a Book” similar to a Conclave Chapter (studying is now only available in your tower and no longer an option at a chapterhouse)

  • Blast Chamber - allows you to increase your Magic XP (or blow your leg off, or some other unintended consequence) through experimentation

  • Library - allows you to increase your Magic XP at a slower, but safer pace through Research

  • Dining Room - gives you the option to Dine In at your tower based on available dining options at the Inn next to your tower

  • Storage Room - adds extra storage capacity of your tower

  • Games Room - provides entertainment options (similar to the inn), each of which will add a temporary buff

  • Gallery - a place to display your collected Art

  • Wine Cellar - a room to display your wine collection

  • Stables - a place to house and pet your mounts

  • Portal Chamber - allows you to teleport to any of your other towers that also contain a portal

  • Music Room - allows you to listen to and change the music for your tower

  • You can now research specific magic types in a Conclave Chapterhouse or in your tower's library

  • Rideable Mounts! Now you can hire and ride a variety of mounts from an animal trader that will provide a variety of travel and skill bonuses, including faster travel times. These mounts include Palfrey, Longclaw, Rumbleback, Yarok, Ironwart, and as promised on our Early Access release livestream... the epic Cavalcavara (giant Guinea Pig)!

  • New sounds and artwork for mounts

  • Injuries have returned, though only through Blast Chamber experimentation currently. Injuries can be chained into worse injuries if left untreated

  • Healers can now heal injuries

  • Building multiple towers with portal rooms allow you to gain access to healers and dining options in any town next to another one of your towers with a portal (like magical Uber Eats!), providing you have the appropriate rooms in your tower

IMPROVED:

  • Changed Goblin Vexer's Force Pulse to Physical Damage for clarity

  • Fade to black and summary info when animal training

  • Disabled snowmoss quest

  • Adjusted the cost of food to be more reasonable (though signature dishes are still more expensive)

  • Animal Training process has been improved

FIXED:

  • Fixed error when asking an NPC's opinion of another NPC in a different town

  • Fixed Arcane Insight not having duration set properly when cast in the overworld

  • Fixed job bar tooltip not showing properly

  • Fixed a bug that can cause issues loading a save from inside a dungeon

  • Fixed a bug causing the shop window to not start from the top of the items list when buying/selling items or using services

  • Fixed quest log and dialogue text issues with the mayor's starter quest

  • Fixed missing quest log for one of the weaponsmith's skill quests

  • Fixed a few typos

World and Save Game Incompatibility

To make all the new stuff above, we had to significantly change things that breaks current worlds (and therefore saves). Sorry, there was no way to migrate data across. We try very hard to maintain file compatibility within minor versions but will likely change it significantly across major versions.

Thanks so much for being on this adventure with us! We really hope you enjoy this update!
