Inventory and Items Overhaul

• No longer need to talk to inventory NPCs to change items: a menu button is enough.
• All items finally receive proper descriptions and statistics (the Fandom incorrectly credits this work).
• Two new item types arrive:
• Permanent Fruits and Stats Refund: they are stored in your inventory and can be traded between players, exactly like the Dark Blade and other Robux items.
• Materials: they are used to upgrade and craft certain items.

Weapon Enhancement

• Weapons are enhanced at the Blacksmith: their base stats increase and modifier slots are unlocked.
• To upgrade them, you must loot materials (the "valuables") from enemies, bosses, map spawns, etc.

New Item Categories

• Treasures: everything that is consumable or of great value (fruits, Game Passes, scrolls, Stat Refunds...).
• Valuables: what is used to upgrade your weapons, to trigger certain map events, etc.

Titles

• Titles are displayed above your character, no longer just in chat.
• Titles without color can unlock pastel tints. Special colors remain reserved for rare titles.

Immersion

• Most animations and effects are remade.
• Better ocean rendering and ship physics revised.
• Addition of footstep sounds.
• Improved atmosphere in First Sea and Second Sea.

Race Awakenings (first version)

Race Awakenings arrive, in a still preliminary version.

• Your Awakening gauge fills during combat.
• Once full, you trigger an awakening specific to your race.
• The announced benefits:
• Since awakenings only give offensive bonuses, long fights end faster.
• All awakenings prevent the opponent from escaping: it's fight or die.
• Teaming becomes less problematic, since it's the player in difficulty who triggers their awakening first.

Note from the source: in this version, race V4 is not obtainable by any means.

Animations and Home Points

Close Combat Rework, Part 1

• All character animations are remade, for each fighting style and each weapon.

Home Points Overhaul

• You automatically reappear at your last location: no longer need to remember to set your spawn when arriving on a new island.
• You can also place a Home Point in important locations (Café, Mansion...) and return there anytime with a button on screen.

Bug Fixes

• Many bugs fixed and optimizations for mobile players.
• Better enemy indicators during raids.
• Improved shift lock.
• Fast Mode now lowers the resolution of certain textures.
• Fixed Agility glitch that gave infinite speed.

Balance Changes

• Soul changes how it works:
• The size of the X move now depends on the blue bar.
• The damage of the C move depends on the red bar.
• The base stats of these two moves are nerfed.
• Dashes and running speed rebalanced across all races: the speed gap between Rabbit (Mink) and other races is no longer as huge.
• Your character's gravity gradually increases as you move away from the ground, to discourage sky camping.

Miscellaneous

• New hotbar, with additional slots on mobile.
• Dashes are slightly shorter in safezones.
• Improved menu notifications.
• Removal of Ban Restore.
