This week was busy behind the scenes, but the devblog itself will be on the shorter side. My main focus right now is setting the stage for next week’s goals: pushing out a huge wave of new recipes and aligning equipment stats with the updated diminishing return (DR) curves. If all goes well, I’m hoping to get a few hundred recipes implemented, something I know many of you have been waiting for.
Before the weekend hits, I’m aiming to finish balancing monsters so I can finally move forward with world events and world bosses. I’d also love to spend a couple of days polishing pets, which will help set up next month’s big push into guilds, social systems, and quest content. I may even put together a community event to gather quest ideas from all of you.
