Content and world changes/additions

-The largest update ever: 8 new areas added including the town of New Anthur and surroundings. Content ranges between levels 8-16.

v.0.9.991 9/5/17

Content and world changes/additions

-New areas added: 3 new outdoor sectors (Friguld and surroundings), dungeons, guildhalls in Nivarian and other interiors. Total 10 new maps with challenges usually around level 9-15 and a few higher level encounters.
-4 new completable quests, starting around the new town of Friguld, at Nivarian, or from inn rumors.
-Quest "Relics of the Mangled God" has been renamed to "The Dead God" and is now completable. For clues on how to continue it, explore the new areas.
-5 new Advanced Skills available from Nivarian trainers.
-House for sale in Nivarian.
-Vorator Eggs now have an use...


Features and improvements

-Controller support added (Android only). Movement, combat, skill usage, quick items, interact with people/containers, and looting (Take all) is supported; for handling menus or inventory you'll still need to use the touchscreen. The default configuration works with iPega controller, but you can map your own controls in the Settings menu.
-New setting to allow the "attack" button to open containers or initiate dialogues when no enemies are nearby. If you press the attack button on external controller while looting a container, you'll "Take All" and close it.
-New portraits available during player creation, by Steinert Anna-Marie (http://luxlibertatis.deviantart.com/)
-New UI settings: you can now adjust the controls' distance to screen edge.
-Clues about locations: instead of being told that certain thing is "somewhere in the wildlands" you'll get a bit more accurate information, like "northern wildlands".
-Added a warning message when you close a container leaving a quest item inside, or when it's dropped because of a full inventory.


Balance and Adjustments

-Level 25 cap removed, you can keep leveling up. But remember the game system is still designed around 20 levels, progressing above 20 will be very slow, as it's considered a "bonus".
-Cleric skill "Guardian Wolf" costs less Skill Points on the first two levels, and now has a third level.
-Quest "Lost in a Good Book"; if you defeated or helped the giants and left without talking to Sullidar, you can still talk to Arkados and complete the quest.
-Shards of Fate quest: chance of bosses to drop shards increased, and 2 more shards added at fixed locations.
-Quest "Honor Among Thieves": if you fled from Nifuruc, you can later return to fight him and complete the quest.
-New Leaderboards, the old ones had a score cap of 12000 points that was already surpassed by many players.

-Some wrong locations on Town Hall quests have been fixed.
-RAM usage has been reduced.
-When you have a 100% chance to disarm a trap, chance is now checked correctly (was a 99% internally)
