What has changed in the realm, newest first.

A bigger world

29 September 2026 · version 0.14

The world has grown. The land beyond the old edges is open meadow for now — new places are on their way.
Walking across the map finds its way faster, however far you click.
Shopkeepers, bankers and other townsfolk stand still while you are next to them, so a purchase no longer fails because the shopkeeper took a step away.
Shores slope down into the water, and you can see the sandy shallows through it before the sea turns deep.
Bridges and the pier are plank decks on posts over the water.
Roads and beaches curve at their corners instead of running in steps.
The shopkeeper no longer wears a name tag.

Every shard now has its own mark on the stone — a gust, a drop, a mountain, a flame, an eye, a star — so you can tell them apart at a glance.
Five new shards: tide, stone, grove, oath and vein. The general store sells tide and stone shards; the rest await their spells.
Leather is now sewn with a needle and thread instead of cut with a knife. The needle is kept; each piece uses up one thread.
The general store sells needles and thread. Thread stacks in your pack.
Leather gloves give 12 Handicraft experience.
Glassblowers can blow an empty bottle at Handicraft 20.

Every item now has Use. Pick an item, then click what to use it on: another item, a sink, a river, a fire, a range, the sand pit or an animal.
Items with nothing better to do are used with a left click; Drop is still in the right-click menu.
Use a bucket or a pot on a sink or on water to fill it, clay on water to soften it, a pot of water on a fire to boil it.
Use a knife on logs to see what you can carve, a bucket of water on clay, a bowstring on an unstrung bow.
Fill and Boil are gone from the menus — Use does both.

29 September 2026 · version 0.11

New skill: Devotion. Bury the remains creatures leave behind — click them in your pack — to train it.
Rats leave rat remains and cows cow remains, and giants and ogres drop big remains, worth far more Devotion experience.
Devotion counts towards your combat level. At level 1 it adds nothing, so no one's level changed.
Arrows, arrowheads, arrow shafts, shards and fishing bait now stack: a whole pile takes a single inventory slot, with its count in the corner.
Arrows you were already carrying have been gathered into one stack.
Better logs give more arrow shafts: 15 from pine logs, 20 from ash, 25 from alder and 35 from ironwood.
A dropped stack lands as one pile and is picked up whole. Banking or trading a stack moves all of it.

29 September 2026 · version 0.10

Drinks now do more than heal. A beer makes you stronger for a while — and a little clumsier. The effect shows in the Skills tab and wears off one level a minute.
Drinking hands back the empty glass or jug.
Red wine is made from red grapes; the vine by the garden grows them.
Tomatoes and garlic grow on the farm, and every vegetable has its own Examine text.
Picking vegetables no longer gives Cookery experience.
A new vegetable stew. The old stew is now called meat stew — the ones you already have were renamed, not lost.
Baking has a new first step: flour and water make dough, which you then shape into bread dough.
Beef burns into burnt beef now, not burnt shrimp.
Lighting better logs now takes Kindling levels: ash 15, alder 30, ironwood 60.
Ironwood trees need Forestry 60 and give 175 experience.
Bowcraft levels were retuned, and a bow gives experience for carving and again for stringing.

28 September 2026 · version 0.9

An iron, steel or cyan pickaxe now mines — until now only the bronze one counted, and a better pickaxe alone could not mine at all.
The same goes for axes: any metal fells trees.
Pickaxes can now be wielded in the right hand, like axes, and a wielded axe or pickaxe still does its work.

24 September 2026 · version 0.8

Your coins can now go into the bank, where they are safe from death like everything else there. The bank window has a row for them: type an amount, or leave it empty to move the lot.
The bank will not let money vanish: a withdrawal stops at what your purse can hold and the rest stays in the bank.
The world now has moderators and developers. Type /help to see the commands you may use.
Moderators can mute, disconnect and find players; developers can also hand out ranks and ban.

23 September 2026 · version 0.7

Quests now have several stages: talk to other villagers, travel and count your progress along the way.
Click a quest in the Quests tab to open its scroll: who gave it, what to do next and the rewards. Completed quests earn quest points.
The summit of Stone Mountain is now a quest from the innkeeper — the chest on the summit stays locked until you have heard the tale.
The goblin cull now sends you to the blacksmith for a blade first.
Baking: grind grain at the mill, mix dough and bake bread, meat pies and stews. Wine can be made from grapes.
A vegetable garden on the farm: potatoes, cabbages, onions, carrots and swedes.
Pots, bowls, jugs and pie dishes are now used in recipes.
New opponents from level 21 to 60: skeletons, hobgoblins, guards, giants, ogres and more in the caves.
Every item now has its own icon.
New: this What's new window. It opens by itself when there is something new to read.
The last few labels that were still in Finnish are now in English.
