RavenQuest Global Release Update Notes

Alongside our Adventurers, the RavenQuest Team is counting down the last remaining hours and minutes until RavenQuest's massively hyped Global Release. Despite Global Release being but hours away, our team has not taken time off of development. We have been rapidly cooking additional changes, improvements and balances since the Stress Test that we feel continue to bring RavenQuest to a higher standard.

And we are here to do exactly that, set a new standard.

To keep this Global Release Patch Notes shorter for all you Adventurers, these Patch Notes include only the updates made since the recent Stress Test. If you’d like to check out the full Global Release Patch Notes, you can find them here

Adventuring Spirit Buff

Very recently we added Tradepack Certificates as a reward to the Adventurers Board once all 3 tasks are completed. In response to this, we received a fair amount of feedback from the community in regards to worries about potential multi-accounting abuse. We have heard your feedback and agree with the concern, and decided on a change in direction. We've also paid close attention to the Experience boost provided from the Adventuring Spirit booster and have made some adjustments to the total experience amount from Adventuring Spirits.

• Reduced the Experience amount boosted by Adventuring Spirit in the range between 10% - 50%.
  The higher reduction concentrated in higher levels as this was where they became the most problematic
• Removed Tradepack Certificates from Adventurer's Board reward pool;
• Reduced the minimum level to receive an Aether Rift task from 50 → 40;
• Reduced the minimum level to receive Aether Rift Charges from 50 → 40;
• Reduced the minimum level to received Aether Echo Scrolls from 40 → 30;
• Adjusted all tooltips and Bandit's Teaching information accordingly.

With the introduction of Default Aether Rift Builds, we feel confident that there is no reason to keep Aether Rifts locked to Legacy Level 50. Moving forward, Aether Rifts will be unlocked at Legacy Level 40. Furthermore, we are making a few adjustments to the rewards from Aether Rifts.

These changes are as follows:

• Removed the Experience rewarded from opening the Unstable Chest.
  This has little impact on the system overall, as creatures are still the main source of Experience, however we saw that Aether Rifts was over represented as a source of Experience and so is in need of this change.
• Increased the amount of Treasure items rewarded from the Unstable Chest from 3 → 4.
  As Aether Rifts is primarily a Silver generating system, we want to lean more heavily in that and allow for bigger pay-out opportunities to offset the reduction of Experience.
• Reduced minimum level to enter Aether Rifts from 50 → 40.
• Adjusted Aether Rift tooltips with new information.
• Slightly reduced the Fame generated from Aether Rifts.

Just like Aether Rifts, we are seeing that with the new progression pace, we feel that Aether Echoes are being unlocked a little later than we'd like to see. To remedy this, we are reducing the minimum level to access Aether Echoes. Furthermore, we are adding improvements to the rewards from battling these otherworldly foes.

• Reduced the minimum level to enter Aether Echoes and obtaining Scrolls from 40 → 30;
• Increased Experience gained from defeating Aether Echo bosses by 100% across all difficulties;
• Increased the maximum Augmenting tier from X (10) → XV (15);
• Reduced stats increase granted through Augmenting by 33%.
• Increased the Silver cost of all Aether Echo Scrolls in the Rangers Company shop from 5,000 → 10,000 Silver.

Crafting Minigame

Despite how deep and intricate the Crafting System in RavenQuest is, there is always room for improvement. In this update, we are bringing forward a significant overhaul to how the Crafting Minigame works, adding some much needed quality of life improvements, skill adjustments and a rework on condition and quality to bring greater immersion and empower the player in how their craft is shaped. Among these changes, the value that the quality of your material brings to the end result is perhaps the most exciting and we are excited to see how this will impact crafting as a whole.

Condition

Changing how the crafting condition is defined. Previously it was entirely RNG based, but now it will almost entirely tied to player actions and investment.

Condition: This variable would be increased by Shine skills and decreased by Synthesis/Touch skills. There is also a natural decay on quality that reduces condition by 5 per turn. If the condition is already maxed, all Shine skills are disabled.

Mouse Hover on condition: When you hover the cursor over the condition UI, it will now show a description for each condition instead of a general one:

• Poor:  Reduces the effectiveness of your Shine and Synthesis actions in 50 to 70%.
• Normal: Your Shine and Synthesis actions have no condition bonus currently.
• Good: Increases the effectiveness of your Shine and Synthesis actions in 10 to 30%.
• Great: Increases the effectiveness of your Shine and Synthesis actions in 30 to 50%.
• Excellent: Increases the effectiveness of your Shine and Synthesis actions in 50 to 75%.

New Skill Changes

• Master Touch — Adds 75 crafting quality, but lowers durability by 1. Worsens crafting Condition Slightly.
• Artisan Touch — Adds 100 crafting quality, but lowers durability by 1. Worsens crafting Condition Slightly.

Touch of Salt - Enhances your touches effectiveness by 20% for the next 5 turns.

Stabilize Mixture -  If you critically strike in the next 4 actions, the durability of the item will be restored by 3.

Quality

Quality will now be affected by the quality of materials used in the crafting process. For this we look at the ingredients and only check the quality of crafted ingredients as well as any materials that are sourced from professions rather than creatures. This means that other finished items that are part of the recipe and creature products do not impact quality.

If all ingredients used are of a certain quality, for example Artisan, then they can fill up to 40% of the total quality bar. All values for each quality material are as follows:

• Base quality = 0%
• High quality = 15%
• Superior quality = 25%
• Artisan quality = 40% 

With the addition of this change, we have also adjusted the quality values of almost every recipe.

General Quality of Life Improvements

• Added a new feature that whenever effects that are applied for multiple turns are active, they will now appear above the progress bar while crafting.
• Reduced channel time of all skills in crafting from 5 → 2 seconds.
• Added new function to grey out skills when out of labor.
• Added counter for when skills are on cooldown to inform when they can be used again.

Ocean Content & Crafting Expansion

For a piece of bigger news in this update, we are bringing new content and improvements to Ocean Creature hunting and crafting professions! For quite a while now, we've been wanting to build upon the existing recipes and experiment with connecting creature hunting and crafting in a deeper way beyond simply being a source of certain materials. With this in mind, we've created new recipes that are locked behind scrolls that can only be obtained by hunting creatures. For this first generation of obtainable recipe scrolls, we've chosen the various hostile ships that can be found on the high seas!

Although... how did these pirates and scoundrels get their hands onto recipes that even craftsmen and women in Ravencrest don't possess? They're not exactly renowned for their innovation or patience...

First off, let's get into the new recipe additions to Cooking, Alchemy and Blacksmithing. A load of new foods have been added along with several new additions to Alchemy and the newest tier of Whetstone.

Cooking

• Vegetable Broth - A new refined crafting material.
• Puff Pastry - A new refined crafting material.
• Herbal Alcohol - A new refined crafting material.
• Sunshine Muffin - Increase Attack Power for 15 and Defense Power by 4 for 30 minutes.
• Luxury Pie - Increase Attack Power for 15 and Healing Power by 4 for 30 min.
• Posh Croissant - Increase Defense Power for 15 and Attack Power by 4 for 30 min.
• Softcrust Bun - Increase Defense Power for 15 and Healing Power by 4 for 30 min.
• Caramel Biscuit - Increase Healing Power for 15 and Attack Power by 4 for 30 min.
• Peacemaker Bread - Increase Healing Power for 15 and Defense Power by 4 for 30 min.
• Blubberbread - Increases your highest stat between {Healing Power/Defense Power/Attack Power) by 17 and Max Health by 300.
• Exotic Stew - Increases Vitality, Might and Dexterity by 19 for 30 minutes.
• Squidink Soup - Increases Vitality, Intelligence and Wisdom by 19 for 30 minutes.
• Glacehearth Broth - Increases movement speed by 7% and increases all Primary Statuses by 15 for 30 minutes.
• Fermented Liquor - Channel and restore 1000 Health and Mana per second for 10 seconds. Being damaged cancels the effect. 15 seconds cooldown.
• Seabrew - Channel and restore 1300 Health and Mana per second for 10 seconds. Being damaged cancels the effect. If the channeling reaches 5 seconds increases movement speed on foot by 10% for 15 seconds. 15 seconds cooldown.

Alchemy

• Mixing Agent - A new refined crafting material.
• Mixing Agent - A new refined crafting material.
• Serendipity Draught - Increases your drop rate from Creatures by 10% and Experience obtained from Creatures by 7% for 10 minutes. 10 minutes cooldown.
• Brinebiter Oil - For the next 30 seconds your basic attacks will deal an increased 25% damage. Twice as effective in melee weapons. 1 minute cooldown in between all poisons.

Changes to Alchemy Recipes

• Added a new Purified Oil recipe that requires 1 Truffle.
• Increased the material requirements for the following recipes:
• Lesser Health Potion - Refreshing Lead 4 → 8;
• Lesser Mana Potion - Earthy Stem 4 → 8 and Purified Oil 1 → 4;
• Intermediate Health Potion - Fungal Dust 2 → 10;
• Intermediate Mana Potion - Cerulean Cap 2 → 6 and Juicy Roots 2 → 6;
• Greater Health Potion - Fish Roe 1 → 2;
• Greater Mana Potion - Fish Skin 1 → 2;
• Supreme Health Potion - Yellow Fish Roe 2 → 4;
• Supreme Mana Potion - Fish Eye 1 → 4;

• Reduced the material requirements for the following recipe:
• Eternal Mana Potion - Fish Liver 4 → 2;

Blacksmithing

• Titansharp Whetstone - Increases Attack Power of your equipped weapons by 12 for 30 minutes. This effect is doubled for two-handed weapons.
• Introducing Handguards and Charms
• Along with the new recipes listed above, we are introducing brand new additions to Weaving and Carpentry in the form of Charms and Handguards respectively. These will occupy the same place as Whetstones currently do for Blacksmithing, meaning that the effects from these items cannot be stacked onto your weapons and will overwrite each other if applied, however with more options available, we hope to provide new opportunities to builds that do not rely solely on Attack Power.

Weaving

• Tie Charm - Increases Healing Power of your equipped weapons by 1 for 30 minutes. This effect is doubled for two-handed weapons.
• Simple Charm - Increases Healing Power of your equipped weapons by 3 for 30 minutes. This effect is doubled for two-handed weapons.

New Market Categories

• Added new market categories for Recipe Scrolls, Charms and Handguards, located under the "Others" and "Consumables" categories respectively.

Passive Change

• Changed the effect and name of Sailmaker Passive in Weaving to Embroiderer.
  • Old Passive: Sailmaker
  • Description: Unlocks advanced sail recipes.
  • New Passive: Embroiderer.
  • Description: Unlocks recipes for general weaving crafts.
• The new version of this Passive will now unlock additional new recipes and have expanded uses compared to the previous iteration.

Ocean Creatures

Added new recipe items as drops to Ocean Creatures that will unlock additional options in crafting when consumed. Each scroll is also tradeable, allowing you to sell the secrets of the waves to the highest bidder!

The various pirates, spooks and fanatics sailing the high seas have been busy hoarding knowledge yet unseen on the shores. It's only right that brave adventurers take to the seas and liberate this knowledge for all to benefit!

• Pirate Frigate - Seabrew Scroll
• Pirate Galleon - Radiant Handguard Scroll
• Dreadnought Frigate - Glacehearth Broth Scroll
• Dreadnought Galleon - Titansharp Whetstone Scroll
• Morningstar Frigate - Sunbreaker Charm Scroll
• Morningstar Galleon - Serendipity Draught Scroll
• Ghost Frigate - Blubberbread Scroll
• Ghost Galleon - Brinebiter Oil Scroll

You can keep track of recipes that still remain to be unlocked by viewing the relevant profession window and locating items locked behind a scroll.

Moa Filter Quality of Life Update

Amended Moa filters in your collection to correctly display only the chosen features when selecting "Color" and "Feather Tips" colors for example, where previously it would show all Moas that fit either criteria.

Breeding Limit filter now sorts based on remaining breeding values. When sorted from high to low, a Moa with that has had 0/3 breeding will appear higher on the last than a 2/4 Moa.

• Added a new category under the Skill Filter for "All Tiers" which will display Moa of all tiers with a selected skill.

Misc

• Reduced the impact of Breeding Level and Moa Tier when determining the Tier of the offspring to, especially the minimum requirements for higher Tiers.

Most of the Archetype balance changes can be found in the Pre-Release Update Notes. The changes below were made based on feedback and data analyzed during the last Stress Test and adjusted for the Global Release.

Set Bonus

• Leather Set: Critical Chance increased from 4%/8% to 7%/15%.

With the new skill points system, builds have become more streamlined and some skills have become less attractive. With that in mind, we're going to improve that aspect a bit by reducing the cooldown of Disengage and Spirit Rangers, which were too long.

• Quick Fire (Ravencard Brotherhood Captain):
  • Cooldown scales by rarity from 3s → 2s.
• Disengage:
  • Cooldown reduced from 60s → 30s.
• Spirit Rangers:
  • Cooldown reduced from 90s → 60s.

I think we all agree that the role of Holy is to heal, and when necessary, it fulfills that function well. However, leveling this archetype is often a challenge and can feel tedious. So, we're giving it a bit more damage resources so it can contribute in that aspect while still maintaining its primary healing role.

• Dawn's Light: Mana cost reduced from 22% → 18%.
• Holy Force: Cast time reduced from 2.5s → 1.5s.
• Ravencard Bloodthirsty Kaiman: 
  • Damage now scales with Healing Power instead of Spell Power.
  • Now deals area damage (5x5) with {80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115}% effectiveness.
• Circle of Light: Enemies inside the area now suffer Blinded.

Protection is an archetype with a very complete kit, providing an early skill combo that offered damage, CC, and sustain at a low cost. This made it a very comfortable choice, allowing players to benefit greatly from it. To address this, we’ve adjusted its skill tree, bringing more characteristic tank-focused skills to the lower tiers.

• Shield Throw:
  • Moved from 2nd line → 3rd line
  • Cost increased 2 → 3 points.
• Spirits Resolve:
  • Now applies the same shader effect as Unchained and displays an icon under the player's health bar.
• Provoke:
  • Moved from 3rd line → 2nd line
  • Cost reduced 3 → 2 points.
• Blessed Earth:
  • Moved from 3rd line → 4th line
  • Cost increased 3 → 4 points.
• Safeguard:
  • Moved from 4th line → 3rd line
  • Cost reduced 4 → 3 points.
  • Cooldown reduced 45s → 30s.
  • Duration increased 6s → 10s.
• Unbreakable:
  • Cooldown reduced from 75s → 60s.
  • Ravencard Iceforge Hallkeeper:  Now it applies a yellow effect to the skill to identify the use of the card.

Stalk and Crippling Dagger are skills with similar functions but distinct differences. However, with the recent changes, Crippling Dagger became a much more attractive option, causing Stalk to lose some of its appeal. We applied a slight nerf to Crippling Dagger and gave Stalk a small boost, hoping this will make the choice between them more dynamic.

• Stalk: 
  • Now steals attack power from the target, reducing their Weapon Power/Spell Power by 10% while increasing the user's by 10%.
  • Removed cooldown reduction if the skill is not recast.
  • Range increased by 1 sqm.
• Crippling Dagger:
  • Aether generated reduced from 30 → 10.

Air Aura with the Ravencard Runegust Jackal was gaining a significantly large uptime against builds focused on basic attacks, performing above the desired level. To address this, we decided to keep the reflective damage value but slightly reduce its uptime.

• Air Aura (Ravencard Runegust Jackal):
  • Effect now only applies when the player receives the shield (4s after activation).

The recent changes have made builds focused on basic attacks a viable option, but Warfare's contribution was slightly above expectations. With that in mind, we are slightly reducing the damage and sustain it provides for these builds.

• Feasting Strike (Ravencard Polar Bear):
  • Base healing reduced from 40% → 30%.
  • Scaling per rarity reduced from 4% → 3%.
• Berserk:
  • Duration increased from 5s → 15s.
  • Defense reduction removed.
• Ravencard Dire Bear:
  • Effect of doubling the duration removed.
  • Healing reduction effect removed.
  • Rarity now increases damage bonus instead.
• Ravencard Goblin Berserker: 
  • Effect of doubling the duration removed.
• Bloodlust:
  • Healing from damage reduced from 10% → 5%.
• Bloodbath
  • Basic attack damage per stack reduced from 1% to 0.75%.

Curse has become a skill with a much higher damage frequency, causing the Ravencard Hog Cultist to exceed the intended damage output. To address this, we have adjusted its initial damage value.

• Curse (Ravencard Hog Cultist): Base damage reduced from 5% to 1%.

We are slightly reducing the cooldown of Meteor Strike to make it a more attractive skill compared to lower-tier options. Additionally, we are adjusting its legacy skill, Cataclysm, to ensure its damage is more impactful on different targets.

• Meteor Strike: Cooldown reduced from 90s to 60s.
• Cataclysm: Damage reduction now applies only to consecutive meteors hitting the same target, rather than reducing damage for all meteors hitting any target.

Temporary $QUEST Price

$QUEST will use an Oracle System to consistently and dynamically adjust the amount based on the value of $QUEST anchored to USDC. This Oracle will go live when $QUEST TGE's (soon after Global Release). The current price is set as a placeholder value in the shop until the first $QUEST rewards.

Land

• Added 4 additional upgrades to all room types for Forts and Strongholds to allow for the same progression as other Land types. Note that currently room upgrades do not have any visual changes to them.
• Added a new Landowners $QUEST Chest that rewards $QUEST Tokens every Sunday based on the number and size of Lands that Landowners have claimed and deposited.
• Furthermore, to reduce the power of Land in comparison to Open World Gathering, we are also reducing the chances for Plentiful Harvest to activate for the following:
  • Small Land, Medium Chest 20% → 5%;
  • Medium Land, Medium Chest 20% → 5%;
  • Medium Land, Grand Chest 40% → 10%;
  • Large Land, Medium Chest 20% → 5%;
  • Large Land, Grand Chest 40% → 10%.

The reduction here is significant, however the effect of Plentiful Harvest itself has not been changed and Land will still remain more efficient, however in the interest of long-term game health, we feel this is a necessary change.

• Perks from Mining, Herbalism, Woodcutting, Farming and Husbandry that provide a bonus chance for Plentiful Harvest to activate have also been adjusted.
  • Reduced Perks providing 5% → 4%;
  • Reduced Perks providing 3% → 2%;
  • New total chance to trigger Plentiful Harvest after all Perks are unlocked 16% → 12%.
• Reduced planting costs by 40% for both Community and Open World Land in order to offset the increased costs of producing materials for Tradepacks.
• Increased Experience gained from Land based gathering activities by 30%. This increase applies to the following professions:
  • Farming
  • Husbandry
  • Woodcutting

Open World gathering is not affected by this change.

Tradepack

We are increasing the amount of materials required for all Tradepacks in order to align all recipes in terms of value. In order to offset this increase in material requirements, we are also adding a new reward to the Adventurer's Board. The new recipes are as follows:

Dynamic and Environmental Events

As we continue to examine early game events, we are bringing a series of adjustments to standardize and update trigger conditions, rewards and difficulty of various events in the early game.

Quests Rewards

Changes range from minor to significant.
