We're hoping to be able to give you guys a clear and consistent format, where you can be confident you'll find all the changes to the game more easily. We'd really love some feedback on how we've done, and how we can continue to improve the patch notes for you all, so feel free to reach out to us on socials!

    Rainbow's End







    A bug in the ‘Firework Festival’ Treasure Hunter promotion allowed some players to re-roll prizes indefinitely. Upon investigation, we discovered that there was an increased injection of GP into the game during the period the bug was live (approximately double that seen on a typical day). This is not a significant amount in terms of the overall game economy. You can read the full post here.




  • Fixed an issue with Rainbow's End that prevented players from claiming a 1x multiplier unlock if they already had x7 multiplier unlocked.

    Twitch Prime





    On Tuesday, some players were unable to receive their Twitch Prime rewards. We then applied a hotfix to resolve this which accidentally allowed everyone to receive the rewards - which we then hotfixed. Sorry for the confusion!




  • Players that were supposed to receive the Twitch Prime Cosmetic Outfit will now correctly receive this on login.

    Quite a bit of nice stuff - lovely. Quite a few things I'd like to have seen sooner to be honest - but well - better late than never. Okay - let's be honest - I thought a first it was a fairly decent patch week, but if it's already the whatsoever week without content (yeah - I know poor planning, but then you easily could've made a garden of war pre-release this week) in a row, at least don't break stuff.

    Since you've added the golden praesul - is there any ETA for other collection log related stuff? Big log, golden reaper, treasure trails,...?     Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2
    Quick Fixes: Invention

    It has been awhile since you wrecked wilderness sword 4 by removing Edgevile as the first right click option and putting CHECK on the first slot. Clearly whomever did that does not play the game. I am disappointed that despite the work on the wildy sword 4 this week this has not been fixed.

    I see the format is changed. My problem was not finding the patches, since I read them all. My problem is knowing what the heck you are talking about and why you bothered to do it. I'm still at a rate of about 1/10,000 that actually apply to me.

    On a somewhat related note, can you actually explain what that History thing in the main post is? I am too lazy and disinterested to google it. For some reason I sense you are hiding behind an abbreviation and don't REALLY want to talk about said subject. In that case you should probably just leave it for the twitters to ramble on about. THIS is a fantasy game.
