Patch Notes: Crafting, ships, gear, the wardrobe and the hunt

The Crafting page

• A new Crafting page is in the menu, next to the Professions page.
• When you stand at a station, the Professions key opens the Crafting page at that station.
• Each station shows your rank in its craft, a bar to the next rank, and your experience.

Progress and first-time bonuses

• The Professions page shows a bar for each profession.
• The Professions page shows each task that gives experience, and how much each task gives at your rank.
• The game now records which first-time bonuses you received. Each pattern shows First-time bonus or Made before.
• The Professions page shows how many first-time bonuses you received. It also shows the bonuses that you can get at your rank.
• A craft at its limit shows no first-time bonuses, because they give no experience.

Filters and repeat crafts

• The anvil, the workbench, the loom and the Provisioning fire have three filters: All, Can make now and First-time bonus.
• Craft x N makes the same item up to 10 times. It stops when you do not have the materials or the gold.

Help text

• The help text for each craft is shorter and easier to read.

Master's work

• A character at rank 100 in Smithing, Building or Outfitting can make one Master's work each day.
• A Master's work is a Legendary item. You choose its three lines. The game sets the value of each line in the Legendary range.
• One line at most can be an effect. A Master's work has no Legendary power.
• It uses the materials of the recipe, the fee of the station, 2 Heartwood, 3 Pearls and 10 Arcane Essence.
• The item maker does not accept Legendary items.

Ships

• Each port has two to four boats that catch fish each day. The boats go out to sea in the morning and come back in the evening.
• There are two new ship classes: Fishing Skiff and Fishing Smack.
• A ship that you book for a passage now sails to the quay of its port.
• If a ship that does not move blocks the quay for 40 seconds, you go ashore as before. If a ship that moves blocks the quay, your ship waits for 2 minutes at most.
• On a fast ship, the land ahead now loads in time.
• Aldbrugh now has a quay.
• Online, one character at a time can hire each recruit at a crew hall. The crew hall does not show the recruits that other characters hired today.
• The members of your party who are aboard your ship now cross the Veil with you. They pay no fare.

Gear keeps its strength

• New content does not make your gear old. No item line goes above the top of the Legendary range. No new rarity comes above Gilded.
• Each type of damage bonus now has a limit. The bonuses from sigils, sets, Legendary items and other powers also have one limit together.
• Damage reductions have the same two types of limit. No gear that you have now goes above these limits.
• Spells keep their own limits.
• A set piece below the highest stage that you wore its set at gets three times the sigil XP. This stops when the piece is at that stage.
• The set card shows 3x XP next to the piece that holds the set back.

Wardrobe

• Each armor piece, shield and weapon that you hold adds its appearance to your collection.
• A Clothing Store, an Armorer and a Weaponsmith have a Wardrobe. It gives an item that you wear an appearance that you collected from an item of the same type.
• An appearance costs gold. To remove an appearance costs no gold.
• An appearance does not change the strength of the item. Other players see the appearance.
• The Wardrobe shows your character with the appearance before you pay.
• The Collections page has a new Appearances part.

Hunter rank

• Online, each bounty that you complete adds to your hunter rank. There are six ranks, from Unblooded to Huntmaster.
• At the rank Stalker and higher, each bounty board shows a named beast each week. A named beast is an elite enemy with two boss traits.
• A named beast gives the gold of three bounty groups and a Mounted Trophy. You can put a Mounted Trophy on a wall of your home.
• The Trophy Hunter choice in Hunting now works. A clean pelt of a beast of grade 5 or 6 gives a Mounted Trophy.
• A bounty that you complete in a region can give influence to the seat of that region. Your war guild must pledge to that seat, and you must be a member for 7 days or more.
• Each week, 10 bounties at most give influence.
• The members of your party see the name of a named beast.

Online play

• An older copy of the game cannot go into a dungeon, a building or the open world online. Update the game to play online.

Titles and collections

• There are 16 new titles. Four are for bounties, ten are for a Master in each profession, and two are for Sea Serpents.
• The Collections page has three new parts: Trophies, Fish and Annals.
