![UPDATE [23.09.2026]](https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/36225269/91b2a45462bd68f23d6ceb426fd79ee01bed660e.png)
Note: Restart Steam to grab the update NOW! 🔄
This update brings a big rework of how mounts move and look. It also makes monsters spread out when they chase you, stops quests from changing your quest tracker on their own, restores the old rules for hunting contracts, and fixes the Infernal Key and several messages that showed up in the wrong language.
---
🐎 Mounts
- Mounts now speed up and slow down gradually instead of reaching full speed instantly.
- Mounts can no longer spin around on the spot. They turn in a curve, and they turn tighter at low speed than at full gallop.
- Moving backwards on a mount now makes it back up slowly instead of turning around.
- Your character's feet now stay in the stirrups, and your mount's legs adjust to the ground when standing on slopes and uneven terrain.
- The Lizard mounts and the Orange and White Tiger mounts have new, more detailed models. (If you are not happy with how your mount changed, we would be happy to talk about it. Please open a ticket and let us know.)
- Tigers, leopards, wolves and horses have new and improved animations.
- The War Elephant mount has been removed. We have already contacted and compensated the affected players.
- Mount speed is now a "Movement Speed (Mounted)" bonus instead of a fixed value.
- Movement speed bonuses from equipment and effects now add to your mount's speed bonus instead of multiplying it. Fast mounts combined with movement speed bonuses are therefore ever so slightly slower than before.
---
👹 Monsters
- Monsters chasing the same target now spread out around it instead of all piling up on the same spot.
- Monsters now stay on your side of walls and obstacles while chasing, so they zig-zag less when you run past them.
---
✨ Enchantments
- "Steal HP Per Hit" and "Steal MP Per Hit" enchantments are now half as strong.
---
🎯 Hunting Contracts
- Hunting contracts can be completed with either target again. Defeat the required number of one of the two monster types to finish the contract, you no longer have to defeat both.
---
📜 Quests
- Quests no longer track or focus themselves again in the quest tracker when their objectives update. If you untrack or unfocus a quest, it now stays that way. This affects the main story and several other quests, including the starter quests, the hunting contracts, the daily plant quest, the rift hunter, the teleport offer and the first dungeon entry.
---
🔥 Dungeons
- The Infernal Key for the lava dungeon is now used up when you use it, as intended.
---
🌐 Translations
- The server-wide Flame Keeper announcement is now shown in your own language, including the name of the burning map.
- The server-wide announcement for finding a golden pet egg is now shown in your own language, including the name of the egg.
- The pet messages for collar level ups and pet level ups are now translated correctly.
- The Epic Rift Compass messages for reaching a rift and for running out of time are now translated correctly.
---
🗣️ NPCs
- NPC voices can now be heard from a bit further away, so you no longer have to stand right next to an NPC to hear them talk.
---
🛠️ Fixes
We also addressed a few "behind-the-scenes" issues in this update around disconnect handling, particle spawning and some others.
