Isles of Etherion

 
Beta Patch v 0.5.3 AreasJul 1, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsEtherion is now made up of hundreds of areas: Areas can be defeated by killing monsters local to that area. Once an area is defeated, monsters will no longer spawn in that area. Only one area can be defeated at a time. Monsters summoned by environmental changes do not contribute to the area being defeated. The new UI will show the name of the area, its element, and whether there is a crystal in that area. If an area contains a crystal shard, a beacon will be sent out after the area is defeated, showing the location of that shard. You can now summon and unsummon Fey with the B key. All races now have Blessing of Fey, a passive skill that grants increased health and mana per hit with weapons. Destroying trees or rocks now restores full health and mana at the cost of corrupting the ground with another element.
