I changed the drop behavior from monsters. The red light on the ground which shows that there is an item is not just appearing anymore. I built a little “drop” animation with a sound and gravity so it “falls of” the mob. This is way more satisfying. There are now 3 different possible drops with their own chance, which is material, money or food. They were all together before in 1 drop.

This misty skeleton here has a new quest. He claims that the Mistborn took his bones and sends you on a mission of hate. He wants you to slaughter them all. But this time it is different. He will regain memories when you bring him bones and you will notice soon enough that its not all his memories.

In the end the situation will get slightly out of hand and you will have to take a choice.

Thanks to @snowflakekiwi the windmill has a new name!

She won the Logbranch Cliff event and the decision is falling on the botanic name of the kiwi, which is Actinidia (Genus, not Species). As a gardener I love this decision and as you guys know me I cant just rename the windmill without changing thr world around.

There is now a new buff food next to the cookies and berries, which is the Actinidia as well. I added it to the casino rewards, ibya forest mob drops and around the windmill there are plenty of vases where you can just pick them into your inventory.

I like the fact that some people may revisit this place to refill their bags with this delicious fruits.

Shrouded Citadel has now an additional chest. It has the design of the darker chests and needs a key, which is not so far away.

Mistborn Archers are now dropping Pale Powders sometimes, too. And I removed the Parchmant From Ibya from their loot pool as I do it with all mobs step by step

Shrouded Citadel got a little rework lookwise.

The “Shrouded - Find A Cure” message is now an action message instead of a bar which will always refill.

There is now an npc which has a lot to tell about the Ithren. There is some introduction where you can tell him how less you care, or maybe how much you care. Anyways, after this introduction he is willing to give you information about all of them, which is rare in Void Tales. Normally you have the set up the lore yourself IF you are interested. However, should you learn these informations and you know this little guy a little better… it is time to ask him why he is a skeleton. He does not know that and the event afterwards is a little shocking. Not only for him.

I am trying to make the Shrouded Citadel inside Ibya Forest more unique and I am beginning with a mechanic.

The area is supposed to feel a little more difficult, but rewarding to overcome. More will follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9EdhLYh8ns
