[b]We are thrilled to announce the release of our latest update, Forgemasters![/b] This update is the culmination of countless hours of work, dedication, and feedback from our amazing community. Crafting has always been an essential part of Alaloth, and with the ever-growing list of items and content added on the way, we knew it was time to give it the love it deserves. [b]When we first envisioned Alaloth, our goal was to create a world where players had complete freedom from the start[/b]. The game’s rich crafting system was designed to let you forge your own path, with every item and resource readily accessible as you ventured across the lands. However, as the game has evolved, so has the need for more depth and refinement in crafting. [b]The Forgemasters update brings a complete overhaul to the system![/b] We’ve introduced new recipes, rebalanced existing ones to align with the latest drops from mobs, and added a range of new reagents and materials for you to discover. Whether you’re crafting powerful weapons, sturdy armors, or reliable shields, you’ll find that everything has been fine-tuned for better balance between quest rewards and the items you can craft on your own. [previewyoutube=WFd7KFbr_qY;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]SHOW ME YOUR GOODS![/h2] The update brings significant improvements to crafting, [b]enhancing the existing system without changing its core mechanics[/b]. The new items[url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/919360/view/4201376568931678664] introduced in Bloodlust as drops from various mobs [/url]have been integrated into many crafting formulas, enriching the possibilities for players. [b]We’ve revisited and rebalanced all existing recipes, fine-tuning the numbers for every craftable item in the game to create more consistency across sets[/b]. This update provides a more coherent approach to reagent gathering by aligning certain materials with specific regions, encouraging exploration and adding purpose to the light farming already present in the game. [b]We’ve also introduced new gear sets, adjusted creature drops across Plamen, and refined the game’s economy[/b], making the crafting experience more rewarding and interconnected. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34013799/2649c20c0adf844cf92add09f1791f953bedb34d.jpg[/img] [i]Old recipes, new possibilities! The reworked crafting system revisits classic recipes, now enhanced with newly added items for greater consistency and smoother crafting experiences[/i] [h2]THROWMASTERS[/h2] We’re also excited to introduce the Throwmasters, [b]a new class of specialized vendors focused on ranged combat[/b]. These skilled artisans offer a variety of bows, throwing knives, and other essential gear for ranged classes. [b]We’ve carefully balanced their stock to fit seamlessly with existing vendors, ensuring a coherent in-game economy[/b]. For example, a lone ranger-style Throwmaster in the wilderness might carry not only weapons but also food supplies, recipes, potions, and herbs. On the other hand, a city-based Throwmaster will have a different selection tailored to urban needs. Additionally, some Throwmasters, with numbers set to grow, can craft various types and tiers of bows, as well as unique weapons [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34013799/ed5ccb9880c293eeb13aa7f35adc727c60838666.jpg[/img] [i]Throwmasters are focused on ranged combat, are scattered across the world. Look for the target-like icon above their heads to spot them and stock up on all your ranged gear needs.[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34013799/c681238f77cc97da01ff660e80927d81d6600c3b.jpg[/img] [i]The number of Throwmasters is set to increase in the next update! These vendors will not only be more common but will also be able to craft unique, powerful items tailored for ranged combat.[/i] [h2]ISOMETRIC RPG SALE[/h2] Along with the release of Forgemasters, we’re happy to announce that we've joined the Isometric RPG Sale, a special event organized by our friends at META, dedicated to all things isometric RPG. We’re thrilled to be part of this event, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/43789/Alaloth_Pathfinders/]especially after our recent collaboration on a special bundle with Pathfinder: Wrath of The Righteous[/url]. The sale will run for a full week and is particularly important as [b]it’s the last chance to grab Alaloth at a heavily discounted price[/b]. Once the event ends, Alaloth will see a slight price adjustment, [b]which will reflect the final price leading up to the game’s full release[/b]. We’re aligning this new price with other similar games in terms of content, following Steam’s recommendations and community feedback. During its development, [b]Alaloth has received over 100 patches and 8 significant content updates, adding dozens of hours to an already massive 100+ hour campaign available since EA launch[/b]. So, we want to give everyone a heads-up: [b]this is the final opportunity to purchase the game at a significant discount before version 1.0 is released[/b], after which discounts will adjust accordingly.
