Improvements & Adjustments

    • We’ve updated our crafter UI to accommodate Decor limit changes introduced during patch 0.183.
  • Quest Compass Priority
    • The compass can become overwhelming with a high-volume of active or available quest markers. The team updated the compass to prioritize pinned quests regardless of player proximity to quest objectives.
  • XP Clarity Improvements
    • You’ve got some serious skills. Why not show them off? We’ve improved XP clarity by showcasing the amount of experience earned for each skill, such as foraging, mining, etc. You can even see when your XP is boosted! And if you prefer a lil’ mystery, you can toggle off visual XP collection in the Gameplay Settings menu.
