Today

  • Fixed a brief hitch when a character portrait was drawn, such as when selecting a target.
  • The pines and birches of Whispervale now carry snow on their boughs.
  • Added a coin bag cursor for lootable corpses and for things in the world that can be picked up.
  • The cursor now turns grey when what you are pointing at is too far away to use.
  • Reworked mouse look and clicking in the world. Holding a mouse button and dragging turns the camera with the pointer hidden, and the pointer comes back exactly where you left it. Clicks on creatures, characters and objects no longer get lost or mistaken for a drag.
  • Redrew conversations with characters. The speaker's portrait now sits on the corner of an inked frame, their words come a few lines at a time, and what you can ask, what a quest pays and what you can do are laid out beneath it.
  • Added woodcutting tasks to the Activities panel: the daily Kindling Run and the weekly Timber Season.
  • Woodcutting has perks of its own in the Skills panel: Clean Split gives a chance at an extra log, and Woodsman's Rhythm brings trees down faster.
  • Felled trees tip over and leave a stump behind, then grow back after a while. Chopping has its own axe strokes and a crack as the tree comes down.
  • Brindlefox now sells the Sturdy Woodcutting Axe, which goes in a tool slot of its own on the Character panel, and has a new quest, Rails for the Watchpost, to introduce the skill.
  • Added Woodcutting, a new gathering skill. Trees marked with a woodsman's band can be felled for logs: Amber Oak in Amberwood, Frostpine in Whispervale, Gloomwillow in Duskmire and Ashbark in Cinder Ridge, each needing a higher Woodcutting level than the last.
  • Redrew the pause menu and the Settings window to match the new panel style.
  • Fixed sunlight leaking onto shaded ground, where tall trees and cliffs stopped casting shadows depending on which way the camera faced.
  • Improved performance on the Very High shadow setting.
  • Added an Off option to Shadow Quality and Grass Density in the graphics settings, for the best performance on slower machines.
  • The default graphics preset is now Medium. Players who already have settings saved keep the picture they had.
  • Reduced the time it takes to enter the world. Distant trees and rocks are now built as you approach them instead of all at once on the loading screen.
  • Patches of grass across Amberwood have turned autumn gold and amber, fading back into the green around them.
  • Added a notice when exploring uncovers more of a zone's map, such as Map Updated! Amberwood 37% discovered.

Yesterday

  • Fixed quest rewards running off the edge of the conversation panel when a quest offers many of them. They now wrap onto a second line.
  • Fixed Slash, Heavy Strike and Crushing Blow dealing their damage well after the swing had landed.
  • Stags, foxes, rats, adders, drones, bulls and dragons now have attack and death sounds of their own.
  • Added casting sounds for each school of magic that fade in and out with the cast bar, and sounds for buffs, wards, stuns, interrupts and heals as they go off.
  • Added impact sounds for abilities. Hits now sound different for blades, blunt blows, fire, frost, arcane and holy magic, with heavier sounds for bigger abilities and a sound of its own when a combo pays off.
  • The Spellbook is wider and now groups abilities under Known and Still to learn.
  • Redrew the Activities, Skills, Talents, Guild, Breach, Mail, Marketplace, Forge, Cooking, Trade, Armory and Compendium panels and the Character panel's stats in one shared inked style, with soft washes and trailing rules in place of boxed rows.
  • Standing is now the second page of the Journey panel and still opens with H. The separate Stories button has been removed from the menu.
  • Each zone in the Journey panel shows how many of its quests you have done, how many of its stories are told and how much of its map you have discovered. A zone is marked Complete once all three are finished.
  • The quest log and the Stories panel are now one panel, the Journey, opened with L or from the menu. Its Zones page lists every zone with its level range, and for the zone you pick shows the quests you have in hand, its stories and the quests you have completed there.
  • Smaller dragons now fly over Cinder Ridge.
  • Everyone who fights Ashkarath gets their own loot when it dies. It drops the Tyrantfang Greatblade, Calderaheart Staff, Ashen Requiem Censer, Wyrmscale Bulwark and chest and head armour for every class, among the strongest gear in the game, and returns an hour after it is killed.
  • Ashkarath fights with attacks marked on the arena floor, including Cinder Breath, Wheel of Flame, Emberfall, Molten Rings, Wing Slam and Magma Pools. It cannot be slowed, rooted, stunned or interrupted, it grows more dangerous as its health falls, and it enrages if the fight runs too long.
  • Added Ashkarath, Tyrant of the Caldera, a dragon that holds the arena at the top of Cinder Ridge. It is the first raid boss, built for five to ten well-geared level 80 players.
  • Fixed the world map sometimes reopening slightly away from where you left it when the view was near the edge of the world.
  • Added daily and weekly quests at the new camps, such as Tea on the Horn, Soundings and The Round, Walked, and a weekly from Rowan in Fourways.
  • Characters who have something to say for one of your quests now show a marker over their head and a conversation option when you speak to them. Places a tracked quest sends you to are marked on the map and minimap.
  • Added the Stories panel, opened with H or from the menu. The Stories page groups quests into storylines, including the acts of the main story, each breach and every camp's own thread, and shows how far along you are and where the next one starts. The Standing page shows your rank with each people and what each rank pays.
  • Standing ranks pay rewards: titles you can wear at Trusted, Honoured and Sworn, and keepsake amulets and cloaks to collect. Some quests only open once you hold a rank with their people.
  • Added standing with the peoples of Elegon: the Ember Guardians, the Amberwood Watch, the Crossroads, the Vale Runners, the Lanternwrights and the Cairnkeepers. Quests earn standing with whoever they were done for, shown with the quest's rewards, and standing climbs from Stranger through Known, Trusted, Valued and Honoured to Sworn.
  • Some stories now end on a choice. Taking one of the two quests closes the other for good.
  • Reworked more than eighty older quests so that what you are asked to do matches what the quest giver says: walk the patrol line, hang the lanterns, read the ward stakes or talk to the other person, instead of a plain kill or collect count.
  • Quests can now ask for more than kills and items. New objectives send you to speak to someone, to find a place, to use an emote at a spot, such as sitting by a fire, or to use things in the world, such as lighting beacons, sounding the depth at marker posts and hauling eel traps.
  • Added new camps and more than two dozen new characters across Whispervale, Duskmire and Cinder Ridge, with tents in six different looks, campfires and stores.
  • Added area stories to Whispervale, Duskmire and Cinder Ridge. Seventeen new stories with more than eighty quests are told by the people living out in each zone, among them The Shelf Lights, The Lamplighter's Round and The Company That Stayed. None is needed for the main story: they are found by exploring.
  • Fixed paths that led nowhere or ended at a cliff, and removed blank signposts from Cinder Ridge.
  • Reworked the paths of Cinder Ridge. The long straight ramps up to the plateaus are gone and the ground is natural again, with winding trails in their place, and the road to the Caldera now winds up through the gate onto the arena floor instead of stopping short of it.
  • Fixed creatures that could not be reached, including those stranded on top of cliffs and a group standing under the lava lake in the crater of the Cinder Ridge volcano.
  • Joined up rivers and streams that stopped just short of the water they were running towards, in Duskmire and around Whispervale's great lake.
  • Added more ways to cross the world: a gap cut through the ridge between Whispervale and Amberwood, a second pass through the rim of Duskmire's old valley, and ledge trails up the mesas of Whispervale and Duskmire.
  • Fourways now opens east into Cinder Ridge. A valley leads out of the town to a road up onto the first plateau, so the zone no longer has to be reached the long way round through Amberwood.
  • Six of the new caves are tunnels that come out on the far side of the rock. One runs under the ridge between Whispervale and Amberwood, one leads from Whispervale into Duskmire, and each zone has a shortcut of its own.
  • Added caves to the open world. Fifteen caves now open into the hillsides and cliffs of all four zones, lit inside and with creatures living in them.

4 days ago

  • Fixed the world map stopping short of its edge when dragged while zoomed in.
  • The world map now covers the larger world and frames it a little wider, so the very edge of the land can be uncovered.
  • The new land has its own waterfalls, lava falls, giant landmarks and floating islands, along with trees, rocks, ruins and plants to match each zone.
  • Added a gravestone to each of the new halves of Whispervale, Duskmire and Cinder Ridge, so you return to life closer to where you fell.
  • Creatures, ore veins and gatherables now fill the new halves of Whispervale, Duskmire and Cinder Ridge, at the same levels as the land beside them.
  • The new eastern half of Cinder Ridge has a lava basin with islands joined by crossings, a lava canyon, and a volcano with a trail climbing to a lake of lava in its crater.
  • The new western half of Duskmire is a wide mire studded with rock towers, with a dark lake, a high moor and a great sinkhole with a path winding down into it. A cleft cut through the old valley rim leads out to it.
  • The new western half of Whispervale has a great lake fed and drained by rivers, a mountain tarn, a fjord cut into the coast and a high shelf reached by ramps, with a pass leading south into Duskmire.
  • Whispervale, Duskmire and Cinder Ridge are now twice the size, each as large as Amberwood. Whispervale and Duskmire run on west to a new coast, and Cinder Ridge runs on east to a coast of its own.
  • Dressed the bare rock walls around Fourways with crags, spreading trees in gold, russet and olive, bushes on the ledges, and boulders, flowers and leafy plants around the plaza and the pools.
  • Added waterfalls and pools to Fourways. Falls now run down the rock walls around the town into pools at their foot.
  • Dressed Cinder Ridge with stands of scorched trees with embers still alight in the bark, ember-veined spires along the rims over the lava, crags, outcrops and boulders, and the bones of very large creatures.
  • Added lava falls to Cinder Ridge. Molten rock now pours down the cliffs into the lava below, trailing smoke as it goes.
  • Added ramps to the plateaus of Cinder Ridge that could not be walked to before, so much more of the zone can now be reached on foot.
  • Added a road up to the Caldera in Cinder Ridge. It climbs the north face of the mountain in two hairpins to the highland west of the crater, where the arena opens.
  • Reshaped Cinder Ridge. The great western peak has been cut down into the Caldera, a walled crater with a wide flat arena on its floor, the old summit standing over it as a horn and a lava pool at its lip.

5 days ago

  • Tightened server checks on movement, ability cooldowns and respawning.
  • An account can now only be in the game from one client at a time. Signing in from a second client shows a message asking you to close the other one first, instead of cutting it off.
  • Fixed creatures that had respawned sometimes not playing their death animation properly the next time they died.
  • Improved performance in busy areas. Creatures and other players that are off screen now cost far less to animate.
  • Added a sound for critical strikes.
  • Added weekly It Came Back quests that send you back into each breach you have already sealed to defeat its final boss again, along with a weekly patrol for each zone and Ore for the Anvil from Gwenna in Fourways.
  • Daily quests are marked in blue and weekly quests in violet, over the quest giver's head, on the map and minimap, and in the quest list and tracker, where they are also labelled Daily or Weekly.
  • Added daily and weekly quests. Camps in every zone now offer quests that can be done again after each reset, so there is always something to pick up for the Activities panel once the main quests are finished. They pay coin and experience.
  • Dressed Amberwood, Whispervale and Duskmire with ruin sites, rock crags and boulders, and with patches of ferns, mushrooms, flowers and clover underfoot.
  • Floating islands now drift high in the sky above Amberwood, Whispervale and Duskmire.
  • Added giant landmarks to Amberwood, Whispervale and Duskmire, including titanic arches and walls, the remains of an enormous aqueduct, towering world trees, stone needles, a moon gate and a half-buried colossus. They can be seen from far off to help you find your way.
  • Added waterfalls. Dozens of falls now run down the hillsides into the new rivers and lakes, the largest pouring off cliffs beside the lakes, and a few tall ones on the mountain walls thin into mist before they reach the ground.
  • Added rivers and lakes to Amberwood, Whispervale and Duskmire. They wind through the valleys of each zone, with reeds, lilies, fallen logs, moored boats and fire pits along the banks, and a stone bridge now carries the road over Amberwood's brook.

6 days ago

  • Fixed keys typed into chat or the feedback form being picked up by an open NPC conversation.
  • Chat now announces when a player enters or leaves the world.
  • Fixed Spriggs sinking into their mounts. They now sit on top of the saddle.
  • Improved the look of rain. Drops are now a soft rain blue with a tapering tail, and rain close to the camera is lighter so it no longer reads as solid streaks.
  • Added new mouse cursors that show what a click will do: a sword for enemies, coins for loot, a speech bubble for NPCs, a scroll for quests to pick up or hand in, a pickaxe for ore, and icons for the bank chest, mailboxes and the Forge anvil.
  • Added Creek Reed Beds to Amberwood, so reeds for quests can be gathered by the water instead of only coming from frogs.
  • Added new things to gather for quests out in the world: Frostblooms, Stranded Cargo Crates and Failed Ward Stakes in Whispervale, Mirecap Clusters, Guttered Lanterns and Sunken Strongboxes in Duskmire, and Ashglass Spires, Toppled Cairns and Abandoned Water Casks in Cinder Ridge.
  • Reworked dozens of quests across all four zones. Many that asked for a plain kill count now send you after something specific, such as Sprung Snares carried by Frostfang Wolves or Cairn Name Tags taken by Magmafang Wolves, with the quest explaining why only some creatures carry it.
  • Rebalanced Mining. Frostsilver, Umbral and Emberite Veins now need Mining 15, 25 and 35 instead of 100, 200 and 300, and every seam gives more Mining experience, so each zone's ore opens up as you reach it.
  • Chat now tells you when a skill level earns a new perk, and when a perk pays out.
  • Cooking perks: Second Helping gives a chance for a pot to serve a second portion of the same dish, and Thrifty Cook gives a chance to get one ingredient back.
  • Added four gemstones found while mining, one for each zone's vein: Honey Topaz, Frost Sapphire, Dusk Amethyst and Cinder Ruby. They sell to merchants for far more than the ore they came out of.
  • Mining perks: Rich Strike gives a chance at an extra piece of ore, Practised Swing breaks seams faster, and Prospector's Eye gives a chance to find a gemstone in a seam.
  • Fishing perks: Clean Line makes junk take your hook less often, Bountiful Catch gives a chance to land a second fish of the same kind, and new fish begin to bite as your skill rises.
  • Added skill perks. Mining, Fishing, Cooking, defence and weapon skills now pay out named rewards as they level. Click any skill in the Skills panel to open its page and see what is active now and what every level brings.
  • Improved performance in Fourways. Townspeople and their cloaks now cost far less to animate, especially when they are off screen.
  • Restored the Fourways smithy and inn, which had sunk out of sight below the ground, and put a floating bench back on the ground.
  • Foxes now stand in the stalls of the Fourways stables.
  • Added three new fox mounts to the stables: the Dun Fox, Slate Fox and Birch Fox. They cost and run the same as the Onyx Fox, so pick the coat you like.
  • Mounts are now sold at the Fourways stables by Oswin, the Stable Master. The Onyx Fox has moved there from Elowyn's stock.
  • Added a new quest, Where the Steel Is Made, in which Merrick sends you to meet Gwenna at the smithy. She rewards you with a stone to socket into your gear.
  • The Forge can no longer be opened from anywhere. Its menu button and keybind have been removed, and item tooltips now point you to the smith's anvil in Fourways.
  • The Forge now has a home in Fourways. Refining gear, opening sockets and setting stones are done at the anvil outside the smithy in front of the stables, where Gwenna the Blacksmith keeps the fire. Click the anvil to open the Forge.

Tuesday, October 6, 2026

  • Fixed a brief stutter the first time a newly received item is highlighted in your bags.

  • Deleting a character now shows a clearer confirmation that names the character and warns that it cannot be undone.
  • Redesigned the in-game feedback window to match the rest of the interface. It now opens as a panel inside the game instead of a separate window.
  • Items and abilities can now be dragged and dropped. Press, drag and let go to place them, in your bags, bank, equipment, trade, mail, forge and cooking slots, on the action bars and from the spell book. Clicking to pick up and clicking again to place still works.
  • The base global cooldown is back to 1.5 seconds, and cast speed now shortens it for spells with a cast time (minimum 1 second). Fireball, Frostbolt and Smite take longer to cast and hit harder to match.
  • Fixed players who joined recently being unable to sign in on the website.
  • Patreon supporters now get a medal on their account page showing how many months they have supported Elegon. It grows grander over time, upgrading your tier keeps your streak, and former supporters keep the medal they earned.
  • Your account page now shows how many feedback posts, comments and votes you have made.
  • Manage account and Open in browser now open the website already signed in, so you no longer need to sign in again.
  • Character select now shows your Elegon account, with a Patreon Supporter badge for current supporters and a button to manage your account.
  • Send feedback without leaving the game. The feedback button and the pause menu now open an in-game feedback window, which can also open Elegon Feedback in your browser to browse and vote on everyone's ideas.
  • You can now sign in to Elegon Feedback with your Elegon account. Add a verified email on your account page, and any feedback you posted before with that email becomes yours again.

Monday, October 5, 2026

  • Fixed interface clicks sometimes being ignored while fishing.
  • Fixed the Quit Game button sometimes failing to close the game.
  • The pause and settings menus now stay usable while the game is reconnecting.
  • Further smoothed creature movement. Creatures now ease in and out of a run instead of stuttering when they chase you or stop to attack.
  • Rebalanced levelling pace. Early levels now go by faster, level 20 is unchanged, and later levels take steadily longer. Experience from kills, mining, fishing and the Weekly Cache is unchanged.
  • Abilities can now be queued at any point during a cast or the global cooldown, and your latest press always wins. The queued ability is highlighted more clearly on the action bar.
  • The base global cooldown is now 2 seconds, up from 1.5.
  • Auto attacks now share the global cooldown. Your character swings whenever the cooldown is free and no ability is waiting, so a swing never delays an ability you pressed.
  • Added a global cooldown timer. A thin bar above your action bars fills during combat as the global cooldown runs out, with an icon showing your next action. It can be turned off under Gameplay settings.
  • Character portraits and the character panel preview now frame each character to fit, keeping hair, helms and equipment in view.
  • Every armour set, weapon, shield, helm, cloak and tome is fitted to Sprigg proportions, and the camera, name labels and spell effects follow a Sprigg's height.
  • Added a new playable race, the Sprigg. Small in stature and quick on their feet, Spriggs can be chosen at character creation alongside Humans and can play every class.

Sunday, October 4, 2026

  • Tightened server checks on sign-in and player movement.

Saturday, October 3, 2026

  • Added set bonuses. Wearing 3 pieces of a high-level set grants a bonus themed around tanking, melee damage, ranged damage or healing.
  • Added special equipment effects. Certain pieces of gear from level 20 upwards now trigger a buff or bonus in combat, shown on the item tooltip.
  • Fixed an issue where some vendor items could be sold back for more than they cost.
  • Reworked quest gear rewards. Every gear reward now offers a choice with one piece for each class, and rewards repeat the same slot far less often.
  • Quests now reward coin, scaled to the quest's level and effort.
  • Rebalanced the economy. Coin drops, vendor prices and item sell values have been reworked so that copper and silver matter early on and gold is a real milestone.
  • Added a new quest, What the Roads Carry, which introduces the Marketplace.
  • Marketplace listings stay up for 7 days. Purchases, sale earnings and unsold items are delivered to your mailbox.
  • Added the Marketplace. Speak to Hollis, the Marketplace Broker in Fourways, to list items for other players to buy and to search what is for sale.

  • Weekly Cache. Finished tasks earn Wardmarks, which fill a weekly cache. Open it after the weekly reset for coin, XP, ore, breach materials and gear for your class.
  • New: Activities panel (Y). Every day and week brings new tasks: creature hunts (marked on your map), breach clears, fishing, mining, cooking, quests and exploration.

Wednesday, September 30, 2026

  • Up until now, pushing a new PTR build was quite manual. I’d need to build the client for Windows, Mac, and Linux, extract all the outputs, generate VDF files, and then upload everything through SteamPipe. It worked, but it took time and was easy to mess up.
  • Today I built a new tool to automate how I package and publish the Elegon client to Steam.
  • This new tool handles the entire process end to end using the Godot and Steam CLI tools. I can now go from code to a live build much faster with far less friction.
  • Not only does this significantly speed up deployments, it also removes a lot of the potential for human error when publishing updates.
