Hi again from the Dreamlit Team!

We've got another round of hotfixes for you with 10.4, it's hopefully removing even more blocked achievements and progression issues revolving around upgrading Towns and Midhaven. Production buildings should properly offer services again. If your achievement has not been unblocked, we will probably get it solved with Update11! That said:

• Players with Pre-Order mounts unlocked will automatically be assigned the pre-order mount after they rebuild the stable.
  
• Ensured that all the required recipes from all production buildings are unlocked properly (Expect further refinement to production building recipes in future Updates)
  
• Fixed issue with getting input locked when upgrading the mining tower to Tier 2.
  
• Adjusted the placement checks for all foundations to be more lenient, allowing for more more flexible placement. (this was noted in 10.3, but it's so good we're including it again in 10.4)
  
• On PC, using Escape while in placement mode or observation will get you out of Shimu Scope observation.
  
• Fixed a rare crash that would happen when updating the inventory item details sometimes.
  
• [Quest] Fix for "Gift for the Gods" not completing properly if you provided Honey Griddlecakes to WInguri and then returned to Hiluna.
  
• [Quest] Fixed an issue that did not properly track that you had in fact found Winguri in the Zamku region in some instances. This will now auto-complete the objective to "Find Winguri" in Ajit's Purpose Quest, and "Get Relic Location from Sky God WInguri" in Mystery of the Jubanga Quest.
  
• [Quest] Fix for the artisan decorations not being tracked properly when placed in the "Ajit Reborn" quest. This should now be completable again.
  
• [Cutscene] Fixed an issue where the cutscene that plays when you meet Huldra when drunk in the Ishaya Sacred Forest did not triggering properly.
  
• [Achievements] Fixed an issue where the achievement for summoning the Kubwa did not track properly. This should be auto-completed on loading your save if you have a Kubwa spawned on your game.
  
• [Towers] Improved the camera pans that happen after building/ upgrading a village tower.
  
• Multiplayer inventory duplication bug fixed
  
• Building Posts should no longer complete with partial component turn in.

If you're a PS5 or PC user and you encounter a bug that crashes the game. SUBMIT THOSE CRASH REPORTS. They are very helpful.

If you encounter an in game issue, Menu --> Send Feedback. Both of these tools help us tremendously get to the bottom of issues that not only impact your save & experience but so many other players as well.

On PC, In a more direct approach, you can submit your PlayerSave_#.sav file to our report-a-bug channel on the ToA Discord[discord.gg]. This is extremely helpful. If you can provide steps taken that produced the issue in 1-3 sentences we will do our best to follow up with any questions we may have.

To locate your save files browse to the following folder:

This PC --> Local Disk (usually C:) --> Users --> YOURUSERNAME --> AppData (might be hidden) --> Local --> Towers --> Saved --> SaveGames

The file we're looking at should be your PlayerSave_#.sav - if you sort your folder by date modified it will be the newest file. That will most likely be the file we need the most. Include it in a thread or DM CoraTora on Discord!

---

Hotfix 10.4 might be the last hotfix to Update10, as we lay the preparation for Update11. Update11 currently planned for April.

There's a lot to say and we don't want to turn this into a full on Dev Blog, but crash investigation for some PC systems and some PS5 users continues...

Thank you, as always, for your support and passion for this world. Update11 will be here before we know it!

-The Dreamlit Team

Hello From the Dreamlit Team,

Over the weekend we had quite a few spicy bugs to smash, and we did our best to catch the worst offenders right away. The following patch notes encompass 10.1 to 10.3 hotfixes. More fixes will be coming over the week.

These changes are live on Steam, as usual, due to PS5 requirements PS5 users have to wait usually 2-4 hours longer, sorry PS5 users.

We're aware about ongoing new bugs, and the quickest way to help address them is to post them to our Report-A-Bug section on the Towers Discord. Bonus points if you're on PC or Steamdeck and provide a playersave_#.sav file. DM CoraTora if you have a PC save with a new bug and she will do her best to assist you with instructions, plus it helps the team fix issues more quickly than normal. She does sleep on occasion so do forgive her weak human failings.

If you're on PS5, always opt in to send a report from the in-game option, this also helps the Devs as well.

On to the fixes!

• Reduced building torch intensity
  
• Inventory - Set consumable inventory default size to 12 and adjusted unlock progression

• Fixed wrong item name and description assigned to the torch.
  
• Ensured certain recipes in the crafting table and are not unlocked by default and are instead unlocked based on specific structures or ruins are built.
  
• Farm and mineral merchants should have their stalls appear now
  
• Fix chest loot popup notification not working on client.
  
• Fixed a crash that would happen sometimes when closing the application or travelling to a different map while in middle of placement animation.
  
• Fix fake items persisting outside of their intended lifetime in multiplayer sessions.
  
• Major optimization to our open world system that should address a lot of performance and audio issues on PC and PS5.
  
• Multiplayer - Moving storage boxes no longer prevents players from interacting with them in multiplayer.
  
• Multiplayer - Moving production buildings no longer prevents players from interacting with them in multiplayer.
  
• Fixed village grass to prevent it from disappearing after loading saves
  
• Fixed required number of ingredients for Midhaven buildings
  
• Fixed an issue with stair decorations not showing the correct model.

As always, thank you so much for playing Towers of Aghasba and helping us shape this world.

- The Dreamlit Team

We’re immensely proud of getting here and we appreciate all your love, patience, support and feedback so far! If you haven’t played Towers of Aghasba, there has never been a better time over the next few weeks.

Your support makes this world possible. The Dreamlit team has ranged in size from 4-30 core developers at any given time and we really could not do any of this without you. Now is the time to leave a review if you haven't. We welcome your feedback, and we hope it's kind, or constructive!

1. Complete rework to the inventory (MORE SPACE!)
   
2. Goodbye to Gold, hello to Kip- our new currency!
   
3. A brand new crop planting system!
   
4. Improved Building modes!
   
5. 2 NEW MOUNTS- A Juvor and Bararu!
   
6. Improved chest looting experience & Museum rewards!
   
7. 2 New NPC Side Quests- for Jabari and Patihoon!
   
8. MASSIVE Performance Improvements!
   
9. Major improvements to multiplayer!
   
10. New merchants and items!

1. Museum displays may not complete properly for old saves.
   
2. In Multiplayer, clients may need to talk to the rancher to use mounts.
   
3. A number of additional issues for Guests in multiplayer. Expect Hotfixes.

It also became so much more. This did cause the Multiplayer to be delayed longer than we would like. So, what can you do in multiplayer that you couldn’t before?

1. Teleporter use for Host and Clients, use ANY regular portal to access Multiplayer functionality. Your Starting Farm Town for instance.
   
2. Using Mounts without major issues in Multiplayer - Talk to the Midhaven Rancher!
   
3. CO-OP progression through most of or all of the mainline quests (there might be a few snags along the way, report issues on Discord)
   
4. Overall a much greater stability and less bugs
   
5. Clients connecting to hosts can now interact with quest givers, ecosystems, and loot chests help your friends advance their world together
   
6. Some limited Cinematic Sequences are not played for both Host and Clients, this will be improving over the next week+
   
7. Fishing and Melee Hunting should be POSSIBLE, it’s not perfect but it’s much more doable now
   
8. Expect Update 10 hotfixes in a much more rapid manner specific to Multiplayer before we tackle Update 11.

This is a massive improvement from what everyone has experienced before. It’s no longer tied to the main storyline progression and starting inventory slots has increased from a TINY 20 slots to 41 slots as soon as you start a new game.

Each type of category has its own tab now, with unique size and costs to unlock new slots. Your seeds stay in your seeds tab. Your swords and tools pair up together, the categories are as follow.

Materials ( Think resources )
Consumables ( Potions & Food )
Seeds
Placeables ( finished building pieces )
Equipment ( Armor, gliders )
Weapons & Tools

Returning players have to visit the Amani Island Shipwreck to pick up their old loot, so do not panic, it’s all there. There will be a new Map Marker. Also If you have progressed the story to certain points, you will start out with BONUS Kip. Kip is the new Shimu money meant to help you unlock additional inventory slots right away. Use it wisely. As you get extra Kip in your adventuring, use it and Scrap to unlock more room in each tab as you go.

Item Stack limits have changed, it is more generous than before. Up to 100 on many common items, 25 on uncommon and rare items, values might be adjusted further.


The Community on Discord and Reddit helped name these cuties. If you haven’t met them yet, you will soon! Talk to the Midhaven Rancher for Quest Information.� 

• Spee Ru is meant to be a semi fragile speed demon of a sort, please enjoy racing her all over Aghasba for now. Keep in mind that she might change!

• Subba Bo is going to help you harvest and maybe something extra very soon. Old Subba is slower to get up to speed but almost as fast as Spee Ru over time.

Gold and Gold Dust has changed. It is now highly valuable for trade in your Mining Town. Scrap has a whole new purpose as almost everything Human-made is powered by Kip. A great way to make Kip is to trade for Scrap.

You’re meant to convert excess materials into Scrap or Kip in your Towns. Find a trader accepting scrap or Kip! Decorations now all cost a little something to add a little culture to your Town or City. Restoring Shrines? You better bring Kip! Farming is a great way to make extra Kip.


The farm beds are gone, you can plant nearly anywhere you want around your Farming town now. All your farm goods also fetch a fancy price at the Crops Merchant. If you want to use garden beds, you can pick some up at the Farm building.

As you progress through the game you will gain more and more farming recipes as you advance your Ecology knowledge by growing your Colossal Trees.�  � 

• � Lettuce: unlocked by default;
  
• � Carrot: having a King Tree at tier 2;
  
• � Corn: having a Emperor Flower at tier 1;
  
• � Pumpkin: having a Phoenix Candle at tier 1;
  
• � Strawberry: unlocked by default.

* The museum rewards you in Kip and powerful recipes for Restoring Ruins and Uncovering History around Aghasba.

* Visit Olson, restore the Museum, you will not be sorry. If you find your Alchemy Lab or Oven lacking, the museum’s knowledge will get you some essential recipes.

* Major Performance improvements with instances and art optimization passes. This is an ongoing process, most systems should be getting slightly better performance with each major patch.� 

* Two new side quests for you to discover. Talk to Jabari and Patihoon as soon as you’ve built your Farming Town.

* Sprinting now does not drain stamina. However, dodge rolling costs a lot more stamina. Additionally, if you’re in combat, sprinting will cause your stamina to pause and not regenerate. You will have to approach a fight with a little more discretion than before. It’s best to prepare.


All chests have been rebalanced and improved. You will get more loot from exploring the world. Chests hum with a pleasant sound to help you locate them as you get close. Additionally, there’s a new UI experience when opening chests that shows you the contents of each chest you open (coming soon to MP!). Expect a massive boost to Blueprints for the 200+ decoration pieces and Armor recipes.

Getting your Temperate, Tropical, and Arid Colossal Trees to fully grown rewards you with one complete set of recipes for each Colossal Tree.


Instead, they were divided between Museum Rewards and Ecosystem progression.� 

• Temperate: Wildsweeper Clothing
  
• Tropical: Sproutbark Clothing
  
• Arid: Boneweaver Clothing
  
• Driftweave and Peakfur sets effect was increased to 50% stamina reduction, from 30%.
  
• Boltcloak set effect was adjusted to reduce 50% stamina consumption from dodging instead of sprinting.

They reward you with less Amity but they reward you with more loot. Get rare items, very valued Kip, and sometimes a fierce weapon, or handy potion! Medium or Large Towers will spawn chests. Keep an eye out for them.

Speaking of loot, Treasure chests have received new fancy models and they’re much easier to spot at a distance. The large player storage chest is huge!

Withered Regions now sap less of your strength than before, and some of the pathways leading up to Portals has been thinned out of the Withered.


Some elites are more deadly than before. The mighty Withered Snaglith now roams the world.


The aggression system for Carnivores has received its first major patch. Most carnivores are less hungry than before and take time near the player before turning aggressive. A good rule to follow with Carnivores, is the bigger they are, the hungrier they get. Beware, or bring plenty of their favorite foods. Use your Shimuscope to find out what they like.

Additionally carnivores now can be seen in packs.


Planting ecosystem seeds has been buffed by 20%. Feeding creatures their desired foods has been massively boosted as well. The creatures of Aghasba reward you more than before for attentive love and care. Mass planting Seeds outside of Ecosystems have received a major nerf to Amity. Fungal spores are now less effective for this endeavor and the farm now competes for a lot of your seeds. Do you make Amity with them or turn them into crops to sell or feed to hungry creatures?


Cross Pollination Pods are now very useful. Converting your spare seeds into crops seeds, or other ecosystem seeds in quantity. Bring fertilizer to help boost the cross pollination pod process. Explore new recipes in different regions as well. Arid is different that Temperate and Jungle! Explore them all.


Both regions have received more resources for you to collect and more loot to scoop up than ever before.


The building process has received an extensive rework. Using the snapping feature it is now possible to align pieces in a manner more expected by players.

Free Build lets players build with pieces high up in the air if the part they’re building with allows them to place it. Terrain conforming allows things like walls and fences to blend over terrain like never before. Additionally, some plants also can inherit this feature. Camera controls allow you to get a better view of what you’re building as well. Do you want to be up close and personal with your construction or working at the Mega zoom level for a more bird’s eye view?

No one likes to wait around for too long. Most main line production buildings had their timers reduced or broken up into smaller increments so you can get your mats out sooner. We will be following feedback from the community on this. We also will be tuning up the Mining Town to be more player useful or less Timer intensive in the near future.

• All Portals now only require 1 Amity Each
  
• New UI element changes to smooth out progression in the upper left corner of your screen.
  
• New Tutorial Sequences were added to the game. Gone are the static images, enjoy the more informative slides.
  
• Added UI elements to armor and weapons to show their relative power levels more clearly.
  
• Added a VFX and UI element to notify the player when they are being targeted.

The entire Dreamlit team wants to thank you for seeing us through this far to Update 10. We're already cooking up plans for Update 11, and we hope to share it with you sooner rather than later. Expect a quicker pace of smaller updates in the near future. The ecosystems need some love and we've left a few toys behind we need to get into your hands.

Shimu Shima!

- The Dreamlit Team

It's been a moment since the last development blog, apologies for the delay. You see, it's been very busy behind the scenes getting Update 10 ready for everyone. Let's dive into some features you can expect when it finally lands:


We collected names from Reddit and Discord, then added our own little twist to each name we picked out of over 30+ entries for each new mount! Then we voted on them. This was a very exciting process that we hope to repeat soon.

There will be future votes! Consider joining the ToA Discord

• Spee Ru here is so fast currently that we've started work on designing a system to keep your mounts running in tip top shape. She's like a sports car, very expensive and VERY fast. When Update 10 drops do not be shocked if the mounts get future refinements.

• Subba Bo is almost the polar opposite of Spee Ru. Strong and tough he may help you fight or harvest in the future. We're still working out the details of what we can include or how we're going to aim for balance between these two mounts, and future ones as well.

This is the big one. We've heard your call for a more complete experience to cooperative play. We're still hard at work on the Multiplayer revamp. We're also weighing our options internally. There's a potential we can launch Multiplayer alongside Update 10 next week, or we might have to launch Update 10 with Multiplayer briefly turned off to get everything up to speed.

The work continues! We QA and Bug Test until it is done!

James, Cora, and Marnelli testing the Bridge Cutscene

The New Inventory system is significant to say the least. For returning players they will have to take a trip back to the shipwreck off the Amani coast, where this whole adventure began. Anything that isn't equipped will be showing up on the beach.


Expanding your player inventory has been decoupled from storyline progression and now is attached to scrap and coins (now called Kip!) for unlocking additional slots. What this means is both scrap and gold have become immensely valuable. The more you have, the quicker you can unlock even more player inventory.

Overall, even new players have more room to work with in general. There will be less trips back to Town as you scoop up resources AND It's up to you which categories of loot you want to expand first.

Depending on your play style your priorities will change.

• Materials ( Think resources )
  
• Consumables ( Potions & Food )
  
• Weapons
  
• Equipment ( tools, armor, gliders )
  
• Seeds
  
• Placeables ( finished building pieces )

Additionally we have six slots per row now instead of four. You can see more inventory all at once.


Gold has been made MOSTLY obsolete, in its place is Kip. The main way players can acquire Kip is through trading resources like Farm Goods, scrapping excess items and then trading scrap at the various new traders at the Farm, Midhaven and the Mining Town. It's the beginnings of a real Shimu economy. As we're able to implement them, more and more traders will be showing up in Midhaven to compete for your hard earned Kip as well as trading for rare resources that you bring back to town. For the gold farmers out there with piles of legacy gold, make sure to visit your Mining Town.

The first pass of this new economy is undergoing tuning to make it feel rewarding without adding to a feeling of excess grind.

While this also might feel like a bit of a departure from the Ecosystem focused gameplay we also want to do the same added gameplay pass for Ecosystems and their Ecology as soon as we're able to.

Farming is a great way to get Kip!


We've been upgrading our building experience, the blue glow around pieces has been reduced, the beginnings of something resembling grid snapping is becoming more of a reality day by day, and we've relaxed the build limits even more than before. If you're having issues while building high off the ground try the new Free Mode. Give all the new building options a good look, you might be surprised at what you can create now.

Additionally we've included the much requested MEGA building camera, so now you can see around all but the biggest structures while placing objects.

The intention is to get building right so everyone can deep dive into making their own cozy towns and locations that they really want to show off to their friends and the rest of the world.


During the past few weeks there's been a breakthrough of sorts. You see, Towers of Aghasba often instances the objects that are placed into the world. What this means is the Graphics Processor has to process one model once, then every other model of the same object is copied nearly instantaneously and redrawn in a slightly different way with very little compute overhead. Unreal Engine 5 takes great use of this feature so much so that they called it Nanite for their game engine.

What was discovered is that not all models were instancing correctly. So when update 10 lands everyone should have a much smoother game experience. Time between frames is more consistent as well so even how it feels when you press a button or move your joystick should feel a bit more responsive. PS5 users should, at the very least, experience less issues when they've built up their worlds as well. The same goes for PC users with less powerful GPUs. High end PC systems will enjoy less limits than ever before. Like most things, this is an ongoing process.

This isn't finalized so expect a little more performance gains in the future as well.


Loot wasn't showing up as often as we'd like. So values have been changed, more loot locations have been added to the world and Blueprints should be making more of an appearance again with the increased loot discovery.

Anja Rise and Moyo Vale have gotten their second loot pass. Treasure Chest size and appearance has gotten an upgrade, as well as Storage Boxes. This helps make spotting the loot much easier as well.

We've even added in an audio clue for when you get close to an undiscovered box of loot, so we can still get pretty sneaky with some devious locations to reward the extra diligent curious loot hunters.

There's a new UI loot experience as well seen below! This should help you understand what it is you've just picked up. Loot chest music is also TBD, but I hope it's half as good as Ocarina of Time. You know the one.


Patihoon and Jabari both have short but impactful quests for you as soon as you've constructed your Farm. If you see them, give them a hello and learn a bit more about their troubles.

With luck we will be adding a lot more side quests very soon.

Patihoon the Cook and kind Jabari


Overall there's more carnivores in the world and they've received a behavior pass to make them less outright aggressive towards the player. Most carnivores will be well fed when you first spot them, so they won't make a mad dash to bite you at first sight. It is more worthwhile to carry carnivore treats than ever before.

The Carnivores also are getting more organized. It might not be worth picking a fight with them on their home ground.


Ecosystems have undergone a tuning pass on Amity and Dung Generation. In addition to these changes, Cross Pollination pods now are more useful and not only support farming, but ecosystem development as well. If you see a Cross-Pod, stop by and check them out, their outputs change based on what region you find them in.

We might return to this topic in a second blog post before Update 10 drops specifically. Lots of changes are brewing.

In the future, we hope to re-visit ecosystems like we did with gold, rolling out a dramatic rework of the Ecosystem experience.


Many ruins, including T0-T2 Midhaven, have undergone a visual pass as well as update to world lighting at night. You should experience a less severe change of lighting right before dawn as well.


The requirements to get Midhaven to Level 2 have been reduced in some areas and made more expensive in other areas. Culture is a lot harder to generate than before but instead of needing to always meet a certain God, your quest is more open ended.

Additionally, a new Iron Tools and weapon vendor has moved in once get get Midhaven to Tier 1, they accept coin for incredibly useful wares, helping you to combat the Withered on your terms sooner.


We're continuing work on refining this Early Access adventure. Bugs of course are getting smashed, and small quality of life improvements like secondary quests are displayed on screen a touch longer than before are now a thing. A few details have been excluded from this blog on purpose, but keep your eyes open you may spot them in your adventures. We also might deliver one more blog ahead of Update 10!

It is an honor to share the world of Aghasba with you. Thank you so much for your support so far!

• We’re looking for PC testers to help prepare the way for the future Multiplayer Update.
  
  
• Why PC Only? Because Sony doesn’t have a robust Beta Platform like Steam does. Also the Devs can examine PC saves but not PS5 ones.
  
  
• The Requirements are that you feel comfortable communicating in English and have a PC above minimum requirements, and would be willing to sign an NDA limiting sharing content seen in the closed test.
  
  
• If you’re interested in testing very soon, DM CoraTora on the ToA Discord[discord.gg] with your PC specs and maybe one sentence about yourself!

• We’re also looking for a PC save file with performance issues! Why PC? Because Sony encrypts all your data for your safety, and that includes your PS5 Save Files.
  
  
• What we need: A PC save file that runs really poorly on high end hardware
  
  
• Why: we’re hoping to get a sample (and develop some fixes) for what really drives down performance from a range of players who approach the game from a number of different ways.
  
  
• Who: If you have a save, please DM CoraTora on the ToA Discord[discord.gg] a one or two sentence description of where your performance is the worst and we will investigate and gather data.
  
  
• Where: Your PC Save Files are located under:
  
  
• This PC --> Local Disk (usually C:) --> Users --> YOURUSERNAME --> AppData (might be hidden) --> Local --> Towers --> Saved --> SaveGames
  
  
• Sort by Date Modified to show which saves you last played and make a copy while your game is not running, turn in that copy to CoraTora on Discord!
  
  
• If we get even three terrible saves that will help the entire Towers of Aghasba Community. To put it simply, do you want more FPS? This is a great way to get it. Submit those saves!

• New activities like an enhanced farming experience are shaping up behind the scenes. Do you like rows and rows of yummy looking food? How about a seed converting hut where your Farm Garden Beds used to be?

• Art Optimization are still in progress, 9.0 and 9.1 boosted FPS for most users. But we want better performance for everyone!
  
  
• Work continues on a more flexible Inventory experience that is decoupled from main storyline progression. It’s getting closer to release.
  
  
• A new main menu graphic that will evolve as you play. It's very cozy.
  
  
• Check out our preview gifs of Winguri’s Talon and Winguri’s Breath

• Applying both of these inventions together has led to a little BOOST!

Thank you, as always for your feedback and love of the game!

- The Dreamlit Team

• Arachnophobia mode now works for spiders that spawn from boulders
  
• Animals now poop 100% of the time after being fed
  
• Large Withered Tower collision has been adjusted to be easier to climb
  
• Logs that cover village board and other props have been removed from farming village tower

• With this patch, we are introducing a long-awaited feature: Production buildings can now be moved with 'Q', or Triangle on the PS5 controller.
  
  
• We are aware of the bug with moving some production buildings that says “too far from ___.” To get around this issue (while we finalize a fix) simply save and reload your save and it should allow you place buildings as expected after you load back into your game. We figured you would rather have this small inconvenience rather than an update delayed.

• Storage boxes can also be moved with Q on keyboard/Triangle on controller.

• Portuguese (Brazilian) is now fully localized. We are excited to introduce the game to new Brazilian players, and appreciate your patience. Please report any language related bugs on our Discord!
  
• Added new on screen Hotbar (tied to radial wheel), with option to toggle it on/off
  
• There is a new Withered Tower on Amani Island, to provide more content for new players, beware!
  
• Bloomstep Arrows can now be used on water surfaces and yes, it’s really fun. They’ve also received a duration buff so they’re in general, more useful and worthwhile.

• Jubangas now have Fly Fly plants growing on their backs, to help with traversal between them
  
• AI - Carnivores are now less aggressive when full, and more aggressive when they are hungry.
  
• Faster seed planting animations
  
• Updates to Stick pick up mesh
  
• Updates to visuals in lakes
  
• Updates to player menu tabs
  
• Missing controller rumble has returned
  
• Mount locomotion updates to make mount experience better
  
• Crops have received a visual update! Corn, Pumpkins, lettuce, Carrot, Strawberries all look new.

• Adjusted landscapes for cleaner/better pathing in a few areas:
  
• Added a path to the south western region of Moyo Vale to western Zamku
  
• Made the top of some ledges bigger in Anja Rise to allow more space for village building
  
  
• Title menu is now animated and will change in future updates
  
• Flying creatures will appear more around the map as Aghasba regrows
  
• UI - Inventory menu has changed so only icons appear for tabs until highlighted

Whether you're aiming for a tactical shortcut or just want to see how far you can fly, this new addition is sure change how you get around Aghasba. We’d love to see your creations and contraptions on Discord!


Get ready to explore Aghasba in a whole new way—Juvor and Bararu� are joining the roster of rideable mounts! Each offers a unique way to traverse the land, letting you travel in style while adapting to the terrain.

Official names to be determined!


More harvestable resources have been added throughout the map, ensuring fewer barren stretches and more opportunities to collect essential materials.

• Stone boulders� are now more common in rock formations.
  
• Limestone boulders� can be found along rivers and the high peaks of Anja Rise.
  
• Iron boulders� now appear more frequently in high-altitude rock formations.
  
• Withershard boulders� are more abundant in permanent Withered areas.
  
• Salt deposits� can be found along the coasts of Aztembo, Ishaya, and Anja Rise.
  
• Stone, Flint, and Sticks� are now more common across the Main Island, including Ishaya, Zamku, Anja Rise, Aztembo, and Moyo Vale.

To maintain the challenge, additional Withered enemy spawners� have been added, spreading danger more evenly across the Withered areas.

Your traversal options just expanded—Bloomstep Arrows can now be used on water! Don’t just stand there, you’ll have to get to hopping. This will further aid you in catching those hard-to-reach fish as well as other creative uses around Aghasba.


Work continues on new points of interest� scattered across Aghasba! Look for more imposing statues from the past, around Anja Rise and elsewhere in the future.


This is our first pass� on Portuguese (Brazilian) localization, and we’ll continue improving it in future updates. We'll also be adding more languages in forthcoming updates.
