Content Update - The Evergreen Hearth

Happy Holidays, medieval adventurers!

We're a bit later than we would have liked, but nevermind that - we've just wrapped up an update, which brings to the game a new quest, tasks and crafting! This update is focused on adding new options when leveling skills in the ranges of 30-60. In addition, a whole new area is added onto the map, full of festive winter cheer.

Winterpine Forests and the Hearthlight Festival

The road leading northeast from the City of Thornhill now brings you to a trade station, where you can join a merchant caravan traveling to Winterpine Forests in the far northern reaches of the realm. The caravan parks just outside a cozy little village - the Evergreen Hearth - where the villagers are set to celebrate their traditional Hearthlight Festival.

The market stalls have quirky items on offer in exchange for festival tokens, which are gained by engaging with the villagers and their various tasks. Sometimes those task will take you out of the village into the frozen landscape of Winterpine Forest.

New Quest: Wicked Goblin Witchcraft

Starting location Evergreen Hearth Village Hall
Quest length Medium

Upon arriving at the cozy village of Evergreen Hearth, you may pick up the new quest by visiting the village hall and speaking to the village matron, Madam Vinter. Though the village is busy getting into the festive spirit, out in the woods vile goblins have been gaining ground...

Honest working villagers are under constant threat of goblin skirmishes. If only there was a brave outlander who'd arrive to help the villagers drive back the goblin menace... And even then, will it be enough? For it may be that the goblins have discovered a terrifying source of power...

New Harvestables and Crafting

Out in the wilds of Winterpine Forest, you can come across new woodcutting and mining opportunities. You'll be able to acquire Coldstone Iron ore and Winterpine Logs, which can be used for relaxed experience gains for the smithing and crafting skills. The new land also offers options to progress tailoring via purchasing a special fabric with village festival tokens.

While these new materials fall into the 40-50 skill range, we've further added Bramblewood to be gathered at the swamps, and regular steel to be made from iron and coal at the 30-40 range. These materials also contain new sets of item recipes.

New Friends to be Made Along the Way!

During the goblin witchcraft quest you may befriend Woofy, the friendly snow wolf, and gain him as a follower. He's a good boy and he'll do his best to protect you against your enemies. Another follower you can acquire is the bewitched snowman, who mostly excels at being a menace...

Finally, there's a new player house to acquire, which you may decorate and use to relax with your friends in the serene frozen landscape.

With that, I wish you all happy holidays and - most importantly - happy gaming!
