Added a warning when you refresh a legendary item (like it does for a mythical) - if both are there the mythical warning will be displayed
Adjusted text color for the warnings; mythical warning is now in purple and legendary warning in gold.
When selling mythical items you will receive another big red warning if you really want to sell it to prevent accidentially selling mythicals.

🛠️ Other
Fixed a visual bug where the realm setting incorrectly displayed the original realm right after character creation.
Added a settings button (top-right) during character creation, allowing early access settings like music volume and resolution.
Improved handling when the chatbot isn’t set up: players are now sent back to the pre-lobby screen, and the Adventure Beginner's Guide opens automatically to explain how it works.

Now live on the Website and Steam!

After creating your character, you’ll be shown a list of all currently running adventures. This highlights that Embervale’s core experience revolves around adventures—not just bounties.
A new Find Adventures button has been added to the navigation menu under “Adventures.” This lets all viewers browse active adventures directly in-game.
(If you're hosting adventures and prefer not to appear in this public list, you can disable visibility in your adventure settings at any time.)

Accidentally created an account instead of connecting Steam or Twitch?

Renamed a few of the new daggers to make them more distinct and easier to tell apart
Fixed a bug where the D20 die incorrectly appeared as a D30 in the Gambler’s Offer event

Update 1.4.2 (1/4)

Embervale is now live on Steam! 🎉

🌍 Introducing Realms
Realms define who you see and compete against on the leaderboard. You can always switch to older realms, but never to realms that opened after your character was created.
→ Realms only affect leaderboard and arena visibility.

Why Realms?
With the Steam launch, we’re hopefully welcoming a wave of new players. To give everyone a fair shot at climbing the leaderboard, we’re introducing Realms — a system designed to balance competition while keeping everyone in the same world.

Previously, new players joining months later had almost no chance of catching up on the leaderboard. Realms improve this by grouping characters based on their creation date. That means new players compete in a fresh environment — without being overshadowed by long-time veterans.

🔥 Important: Realms do not affect gameplay.
You can still play, adventure, and (soon) form guilds with friends across realms.
The only thing realms affect is who you see on the leaderboard and arena.
As new players progress, many will naturally choose to switch to the Prime realm to challenge the OGs and prove themselves.

Available Realms
Prime – Opened on 09.09.2024
Steamgate – Opened on 12.06.2025 (today)

How Realm Switching Works
Characters created after this update can switch freely between Prime and Steamgate via the in-game settings — anytime, instantly, and with no cost or restrictions.
Characters created before this update are automatically placed in the Prime realm and always see all players, regardless of realm.
This ensures new players can enjoy fair competition, while existing players continue to see and engage with the entire community.

So What Actually Changes?
Only the players you see on your leaderboard and therefore the players you face in arena.
The game world remains completely shared — nothing else is limited or locked.
Update 1.4.2 (2/4)

New Items
Added 377 new items to enhance loot variety, with a focus on expanding the mythical item pool. This reduces repetition in categories that previously had only 3 mythicals, preventing the same items from appearing repeatedly.

Item Generation
We've slightly adjusted the stat point per level values of newly generated lower rarity items to reduce the performance gap between rarities:
common 0.75 -> 1
uncommon 1 -> 1.25
rare 1.5 -> 1.75
epic 2 -> 2.25
legendary 3 -> 3
mythical 4 -> 4

New Adventure Events:

Curse of the Werewolf
Friend or Frog event
Petrification Cure
Can I Pet That Dog event

Snatched Away
Magic Fox Encounter

Barbarian's Quest event chain
Magical Barrier Chamber event
Tinkerer's Camp

Creep in the Streets

The Hag Hut event
The Lesser Brother event
Version 1.4.2 (3/4)

Adventure
🗺️ Dice Roll Transparency

We’ve improved how dice rolls are displayed to make things clearer!

Previously, you might have seen unusually high dice roll requirements, even for events that weren’t meant to be that difficult. This was because the room number passively increased the required roll behind the scenes.

Now, the required number shown for each event stays true to its original design. Instead of "silently" raising the difficulty, we now display a negative modifier (from 0 to -3) that reflects the challenge added by reaching higher rooms.

The total (dice roll + modifier) will never exceed 20. For example, if an event requires a roll of 19, the room modifier is capped at -1 — maintaining the original difficulty and not making things harder.

🔧 Updated Room Penalty Thresholds:
-1 modifier → Previously applied at Room 10, now starts at Room 20.
-2 modifier → Previously applied at Room 25, now starts at Room 40.
-3 modifier → Previously applied at Room 50, now starts at Room 60.

This slightly lowers the difficulty across all rooms for dice rolls

Other
The streamer can now open the tool menu directly from the voting screen, making it easier to view or select tools—especially when an event offers tools as a reward.
Improved stability when deleting and creating new adventures. This update also fixes issues where characters weren’t rendered properly or when the first event of a new adventure matched the final event of the previous one.
Fixed a bug where the adventure outcome would reappear incorrectly if you switched to another menu and then returned to the adventure screen. This could result in displaying incorrect data, such as morale 0→0.

Updated events:
Changed Mystery Bottle and Lich's Castle event chains to be less dependent on the number of players in the adventure.
Changed City Fortune Event to fight a Hag instead of a Sorceress.
Update 1.4.2 (4/4)

Shop
The Shopkeeper now holds a small potion in hand when a potion is available in the shop.
[Technical] Shop refresh now verifies and compares all displayed item with those stored on the server. If any mismatch is detected, the refresh is blocked and a reload prompt appears. This prevents issues caused by lag or having multiple game instances open, ensuring you never accidentally refresh the wrong items.

Other
The "Unequip Title" button is now red and always anchored at the bottom of the title equipment menu for easier access.
Added clear labels to the character creation fields, making it easier to identify each input — even after entering text.
Optimized performance for the Glossary.
Improved mobile & desktop layout and usability for the Arena.
Fixed an issue where material chests couldn’t be opened if your gear inventory was full.
Fixed a rare visual bug when opening chests:
Knights could incorrectly see two-handed weapon, Warriors could see swords. Rangers could see daggers, Rogues could see bows

Fixed an issue where the “Complete Bestiary” achievement incorrectly included ascended bosses in the calculation
Corrected the title “Councilor” to “Counselor”

Adventure
Adjusted fame distribution from dice rolls: Previously, fame was only awarded if both dice rolls succeeded. Now, each successful dice roll can grant fame individually.
Fixed an issue where using a summoning book tool to win a fight without any player joining the battle did not grant morale.
Added character name to EV timer and EV join cooldown messages to clarify which character is currently selected.

Other
Fixed an issue where the character switch menu showed expeditions as completed even though they were still in progress.

Version 1.4.1 now live on all platforms!

Switch Menu
You can now see:
If a character has a finished expedition.
Available arena fights.

Character Menu
Added vitality to the gear stat sorting options.
Improved bulk chest opening: you now get a clear warning if opening chests would exceed your inventory limit, instead of just hiding the slider.
Fixed an issue where quick selling sometimes failed due to a spam protection trigger activating too early.

Shop
Fixed an issue where refresh buttons could sometimes reactivate when tapping between items on mobile.
Moved the Info button away from the refresh buttons to prevent accidentally refreshing the shop when you just want to check your pity.

Dungeon & Ascended Boss
Added buttons to help navigate the map in the Twitch app, since moving the map can be difficult if multiple extensions are installed.

Expedition
Manfred’s expeditions now use a different colored button than your own.
Slightly adjusted the style of material nodes for a cleaner look.
Fixed an issue where scrolling down in bounties and switching to expeditions caused the expedition navigation bar to disappear.
Expeditions started on one device will now correctly appear when you open the expedition menu on another device, -instead of showing as if no expedition is active.
Moved the Enter Ongoing Expedition buttons to the top right to:
a) make room for easier navigation buttons for Twitch,
b) prevent the cookie banner from blocking the buttons.
Update 1.4.1 (2/2)

Adventure
When you receive the effect healthy then the effect sick will be removed. When you receive sick as effect then the healthy effect will be removed.
Event: Lake Encounter: Buffed the results for successfully going fishing.

Achievements
Achievement categories now display a number indicator if you have unclaimed rewards.

General

Fixed an issue where new brews were incorrectly shown as common rarity in the inventory.
Fixed an issue that the 3 / 6 hour expedition achievement wasn't working correctly when using manfred
