Greetings wanderers,
It’s been two weeks since the last update, and now we’d like to present you a brand new one! There isn’t that many changes this time around, but we hope you’ll still enjoy them. We’re also happy to inform you that starting from the next update we’re going to include more community-suggested changes.

Main changes

New questline

The Hermit has some tasks for you. If you want to help him out and claim his rewards, seek him in the Ghost woods.

Food and potions

For the longest time you had a very limited choice of food, and you could only dream about brewing any potions. Well, this update brings us a slightly reworked cooking system, and a bunch of new recipes for food and potions!

Little helpers

The nature is on your side.. well, at least a part of it. Crows will now lead you to the points of interest, and butterflies will indicate your arrival to them, so make sure to look around!

Server protection

We have fixed the issue resulting in not being able to set a password for your servers. Now you can properly do that, by turning the server off, setting up a password, and turning the server on again.
