Build 0.17.947

Released: January 7, 2026

General

• Pets will no longer attack targets that are rooted or fixated.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where players would shrink a tiny bit each time they dismounted.
• Fixed an issue where releasing the active mount wouldn’t release it.
• Fixed an issue where players were able to release a mount that had items equipped. Players will now need to remove all equipment/items from a mount before it can be released.
• Fixed an issue where player mounts would satisfy the requirement when Phosy sent players out to find a horse.
• Fixed an issue where returning to bind, such as when using “/stuck bind”, wasn’t dismounting mounted players. It should now dismount a player when they return to where they are bound.
• Fixed an issue where player mounts were sometimes showing up in ranger tracking.
• Fixed an issue with mounted players that were invisible turning pink after dismounting.
• Fixed an issue where other players that were invisible or shadow walking were being rendered as if they were visible.

NPCs

• Spawn rates for named NPCs throughout Terminus have been increased significantly. Some named NPCs will now have a 100% chance to spawn, however they will take longer to respawn than previously.
• Some named NPCs have been moved to new spawn locations to help preserve challenge with the new spawn rates.
• Stablehand Phosy will now pause longer in her duties to make it easier for players to talk to her.
• Some NPCs in Thronefast have had their dialogue updated.

Items

• Normalized drop chances on named and boss NPCs. Example: if they can drop four items, each item has a 25% chance.
• New items have been added to some common and named/boss NPCs in the world
• Updated Shield of Brambles, Weathered Buckler, and several other common-quality shields to be in line with the current standard
• Added Rogue to classes that can equip Shadowy Geta to fill an item slot gap for that level range. Also added 2 INT to the item.
• Updated Helm of the Dragon Knight visuals to be a little more… dragony.

VFX

Added several new VFX, and updated old VFX, in Thronefast. VFX passes on the remaining zones will continue.

Quests

Some parts of the Dire Lord’s starting quests have been updated.

Crafting

Build 0.17.913

Released: December 19, 2025

Double Experience Bonus

In the spirit of the holidays and as a thank you to everyone who has been participating in Early Access so far, we have activated a double experience bonus. This bonus will remain in effect until our Combat and Progression Update which is currently targeted for Spring of 2026. Note: In some cases, for example if you are soloing an NPC with a high group experience modifier, the amount of experience you earn will be capped for that encounter.

General

Players may now tame and ride horses throughout Terminus beginning at level 20. To learn the taming skill and acquire their first mount, players should visit the stables in Demith village and speak to Stablehand Phosy. Please note that this is the initial implementation of our mounts and taming system. Additions and enhancements to this system are planned for future updates. If for some reason players lose their ability scroll for Taming once they have obtained it, a replacement can be obtained by speaking with Stablehand Phosy again.

• Added the “Use Mount” key mapping, currently mapped to the H key, which will call your active mount to you if you have one, dismount if you’re mounted, or mount if you’re standing close enough to your active mount. This can be remapped in the Input tab of the Settings window.

• You can now toggle walking on/off with the period/full stop (.) key. This can also be remapped in the Input tab of the Settings window.

• Falling damage has been reduced a bit.

Bug Fixes

The Unmortal Barrage ability used by some Wraith NPCs should now properly end when it reaches its full duration. The Crafting Work Order “Meditation Beads” now requires the actual item to be crafted and turned in for completion. The work order schematic for training tabards should now make the correct item. The work order schematic for bandages should now properly accept cloth bolts. The Arcanery Initiate’s Robe schematic now correctly requires a robe basis instead of a tunic basis. Characters who previously completed the “Looking for Work” quest in Sorhiryth should now also be able to accept and complete the “Looking for Work” quest in Availia. The work order schematic for special ink should now make the correct item. Fixed an issue where the client would sometimes use the name of a group member when writing out a player’s settings. Fixed an issue where a player that was renamed would leave their old name in the social/who lists. Fixed the bug where pets stopped responding to player’s command after killing one of their targets. Fixed an issue that was preventing an object in Halnir Cave from being properly interacted with by players. Also upgraded the visual appearance of the object. Fixed an issue that was preventing many class buffs from properly applying their benefits, including Enchanter Runeskin, Monk Wheel Kick, Rogue Ambidextrous, and Dire Lord Bloodfiend.

World

Global lighting has been adjusted for better visibility during nighttime hours. Night is still full of terrors, however. The abandoned village of Hiryth Hill in the Silent Plains has been populated with several new NPCs. The area is designed for small group hunting around level 30. General Goods vendors around Terminus seem to have acquired a stockpile of a strange and wondrous item which they are offering to passing adventurers for a minimal price. When questioned, none would reveal the source of these goods. A strange magical artifact has appeared just inside the entrance of Halnir Cave. Rumors persist that a twin to this artifact exists somewhere deeper in the depths of the caverns. The village of Demith has received a set dressing pass and should now look more lived-in. Additional visual improvements are planned for future updates. Note that some NPCs and crafting stations have moved around within the village as part of this pass. Not to be outdone by the villagers of Demith, by the order of the Queen, the Thronefastian Ministry of Interior Decoration has removed most of the furnishings from houses within Availia temporarily. Reportedly, the Queen’s architects are hard at work drafting plans to restore the grandeur of Availia as soon as possible.

Audio

We are testing an updated music system in the tavern in Availia. Different music may play at different times of day while inside the building.

NPCs

Some tuning adjustments have been made to NPCs in Wildmound Cradle The cooldown time for Tel’Daedras to reappear after she has been defeated has been reduced from 12 hours to 10 hours. A strange individual has taken up residence just inside the main entrance to Halnir Cave. He claims to be there to collect the bones of the dead.

Items

Reverted the CON to INT on the Platinum Inlaid Buckler Updated visual model for Roasty Toasty Pantaloons Whisperwind Asps should now yield their scales more frequently when killed. The Vine-Wrapped Wristguards should now properly show a visual when equipped The drop rate on several special items in Black Rose Keep has been increased. Small saddlebags have been added to General Goods vendors. Wild Mindblade is now equippable in the off-hand for Rogues The following Druid spells should now be able to trigger the effect on the Tooth of the Apex when they are cast:

• Stonevine Snag, Rockroot Tangle

• Verdanfire Pilum

• Shadethistle Talisman, Ironvine Talisman

• Umbravines

The effect can no longer be triggered by AoE spells that don’t require a target for the time being.

VFX

Adjusted timing of Wizard focus restoration vfx Removed screenshake element from Cinder Lance and improved performance Fixed casting VFX not showing up for Arcane Cords Updated generic root VFX for some rooted status effects Wizards have a new icy comet visual effect that now comes from above at an angle similar to Cinder Lance. There will be a slight mismatch in damage and visual impact timing due to no longer using a standard projectile setup

Gathering

Additional items may now be obtained when gathering from wild vegetables and apple trees.

Crafting

Outfitting

Saddlebags may now be crafted by outfitters. Schematics are available at leatherworking trainers.

• Mana Current changed to grant 50% spell haste and threat generation for 15 seconds.

• All focus consuming DD spells have had their cast times reduced by 1 second and mana costs increased by roughly 10%
• Fixed the tooltip for element school of spells (Most were reading as Cold)

Known Issues and Notes

• When wearing certain robes or armor and riding a horse, the bottom parts of the robe may clip through the horse. These visual issues will be addressed in a future update.

• Movement speed for players mounted on horses is still undergoing tuning and may be adjusted in future updates.

• Additional polishing for mount and rider animations is planned for future updates.

• In some cases, players may fall below the terrain when logging in or teleporting. Players in this situation should utilize the /stuck command if possible. This issue will be addressed in a future update.

• Several buildings in the village of Availia are missing their intended furniture and decorations. This issue will be addressed in a future update.

Build 0.17.706

Released: November 19, 2025

Important

The Wizard class has received a major revision. Many of the old wizard spells have been deactivated and replaced with new versions. If you play a wizard, you will need to visit a trainer NPC and repurchase most of your spells. The spell prices for new wizard spells have been temporarily set extremely low to help make this easier for players. We hope that our wizard players will enjoy the new and improved magical power at their disposal.

World

• Local weather systems have been re-enchanted to stop chasing players across the map.
• The Wildmound Cradle in the Silent Plains is now accessible for characters level 36 and higher. Adventurers who wish to explore this new area should proceed with caution.
• A special high-level event has been enabled in Black Rose Keep. This event can occur randomly and has a higher chance to occur when more groups are actively adventuring in the zone.
• Gnashura, the Uncounted Prince, may once again be confronted within his lair in Halnir Caves. The appropriate key will be needed to open the door to said lair, however, and obtaining that key may require several expeditions into the dungeon to unravel some of its secrets.

General

• Added support for being able to map the same key to different things in the key binds UI.
• Added the “Auto Sprint” key bind, which by default is mapped to the LeftShift key and allows sprint to be toggled on/off by tapping the LeftShift key, in addition to being able to hold that key down to sprint as before.
• Added a “Move Offscreen UI Windows Into View” button to the Settings → Other menu. It helps recover any panels that wandered offscreen without disturbing your carefully arranged layout.
• Corrected an issue that would sometimes cause spell effects to not display in the intended position on a target.
• Fixed a bug in character creation that left the UI in a bad state after cancelling.
• Most wraith NPCs now count as undead for the purposes of spells and abilities that target the undead.
• Current weight will now be displayed in red text when the player is encumbered (carrying more than their max carry weight).
• Macros now have a limit of 50 lines.
• Added more hair styles for halflings.
• Added the /rename command that allows players to rename their character by typing /rename followed by the new name. Please note that you can only rename your character once. If the command fails, it does not count as your single use allowance per character.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash related to unsupported ASCII characters in chat.
• Fixed several issues with climbing and hanging systems.
• Fixed a bug causing /who filters to be ignored, filtering now behaves as intended.
• Fixed a social menu bug that caused the LFG tab to open after refreshing the Who tab.

• Ranger scout pets should now be properly summoned when beginning channeling.
• IK adjustment to fix an issue where some movement animations were not playing properly on some races.
• Possible fix for a player not getting credit for a kill in some rare cases.
• Fixed some UI images that were showing white around the edges but shouldn’t have been.
• Fixed an issue with climbing where players could accidentally climb down below the surface of the terrain and end up under the world.

Items

• Moved Sovehly’s Searing Slippers onto their own table for the Banshee and increased their drop chance some. This means they have a chance to drop in addition to the other items, rather than instead of. Normalized the drop chance for the other items that remain in her main loot table.
• Updated Tel’Daedras’ loot tables. They are now categorized by item rarity with a normalized drop chance for each item in their table – the total potential number of items dropped per kill remains the same. Many aspects of endgame itemization will continue to evolve as we move forward – thank you all for your diligent data gathering and feedback on her drop rates.

General

• Following this update, players in the Silent Plains may encounter an unfinished area that is blocked off by invisible walls. This area will be fully opened for players to explore in our November game update.
