Real fish, steel and left thumbs

Fish that look like fish, a new tier of ash, coal, steel and salmon, mastery stars, the Collector, and a screen that mirrors for your left thumb.

Real fish

Every kind of fish is now drawn as itself: on your line, in the fishing spots and in your bag. A caught fish hangs nose-up from the hook.

A new tier: ash, coal, steel and salmon

  • Ash trees grow in the Ash Grove, for woodcutters ready for more.
  • Coal joins iron at Ironvein Ridge, and the two make steel at the forge.
  • Salmon leap in the river’s salmon run.

Mastery stars

Everything you gather and make gets quicker the more you do it, and stars show how far along you are with each one.

The Collector

Ambrose the Collector keeps one of each find for good and pays you Guild Marks for it. The cabinet shows what’s still missing.

Play with your left thumb

Settings can mirror the whole screen for left-handed play, and the fight buttons come in four sizes.

Smaller things

  • The General Store has a storekeeper behind the counter.
  • Old Hob holds a hammer now.
  • Calm hens no longer make you draw your weapon.
