[h1]Ahoy![/h1] Today’s menu: total rebalance of crafting, wards and amulets, news about 1.7.3, new music track from LE and another call to [b]wishlist and follow[/b] Legendary Edition on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1456830/Sea_Dogs/ [b]Item 1[/b] [i]Music track - Global Map theme [/i] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Cg-3bIyw4 [b]Item 2[/b] [i]Crafting, alchemy and amulets.[/i] In short - crafting will be much more relevant and comfortable in LE. You will be able to start crafting useful potions and amulets as soon as you take Alchemy perk. As for wards and amulets - they have been rebalanced, now each of them makes sense, each of them is useful and serves whatever build/playstyle you prefer. Since you can craft most of amulets yourself, this adds an extra layer to role playing, exploration and character development. [list] [*] You can purchase a recipe of mixture or get one for free from Gino; [*] Mixture doesn’t harm your Life and adds 160 HP. Can’t buy it from merchants, only craft it or find it as a very rare loot; [*] Elixir is not available for purchase anymore, you either craft it or loot it; [*] Elixir’s recipe was changed and doesn’t require an alchemist’s chest anymore, the recipe itself is more available for purchase; [*] Merchants don’t sell as much antidote as they used to; [*] Each potion recipe now yields 3 potions instead of one; [*] Total amount of lootable elixirs at CoAS is much, much lower now; [*] Amelia asks extra 200 doubloons for an each Manga Rosa recipe; [*] Graveyard keepers and herbalists sell more herbs now; [*] Advanced crafting tools can be obtained in the early-mid game in random loot; [*] Alchemy interface is improved and crafting now uses all available components you keep in your cabin chests - but only if you are inside the cabin; [*] Added two new wards; [*] All amulets and wards have been rebalanced and now they have a bigger impact on gameplay; [*] Amulets that didn't work - they do now as originally intended. Certain wards got extra bonuses, now each of them is an extremely valuable prize. [/list] [b]Item 3[/b] [i]1.7.3[/i] The biggest patch ever (TM) is about to leave the beta!
