Summary
Water Simulation Overhaul
This update focuses heavily on the new water systems, increasing fluidity and adjusting drainage rules so water persists longer on porous surfaces like sand and soil. Players can now place up to 50 water dispensers at max Flame level, though existing setups may need adjustment due to the new flow logic.
Combat and Balance
Major balance shifts include a massive health increase for the Magic Shield skill (from 350 to 1020 HP) and a significant reduction in weapon damage perks, which have been halved from +20% to +10%. Combat against the Hydrak'Dal has been refined with better dagger support and increased health for the boss.
New Content and World Updates
A new Bloodfeather armor set has been added to Veilwater Basin, alongside a 'castle' furniture set and several unique armor pieces. The update also introduces various UI improvements, including a poisoned indicator and custom map markers for fishing and water.
