Major Features
Island Tool Rework
We have completely overhauled the old island tool system! Grind island skills to gain experience and level them up to gain unique buffs and increased island xp gain. Buffs now have higher max levels with smaller increments per level, allowing for a more fun and steady tool progression.
- When your tool is ready to level up, shift-click your tool to choose between three buffs.
- Every 10 levels, you can use your tool with a new crop / mob / fish / node.
- Tools no longer have a maximum level.
- Each level on a tool increases the tool’s base island xp gain by 0.25%
- Tool buff information has been moved from tool lore to /is tools
- We replaced the “Sell Boost” hoe buff with a new buff, Seed Finder!
- Tool enchantment gems have been removed
Island Armor Overhaul
We overhauled the island set system to be simpler and more fun! Each individual skill has three sets per island skill, rather than three tiers for each individual skill. Each piece has stats that give bonus island xp, mission progress, mastery progress, and drops, all of which get better with every new set you obtain! This new system simplifies armor sets for newer players and makes it easier for us to add on to this feature in future updates.
- You can get crafting materials for the sets through /is missions.
- Creating the next tier of set requires giving up your old set pieces.
- The Island Master enchant has been removed.
Island Mission Revamp
We changed the loot tables for island missions to fit our new island sets!Island missions are now grouped by skill type (Farming, Slaying, Mining, Fishing) and tier (Chain, Iron, Diamond.)
- The difficulty of missions (Easy, Medium, Hard, Heroic) is now based on a Loot Quality value.
- Your Loot Quality continuously increases the actions required for each subsequent mission.
- Accepting a mission reward will reset your Loot Quality back to 0, while declining a reward will increase your Loot Quality, allowing you to access greater rewards the next time you complete a mission.
- Each Loot Quality value is unique to its respective skill type and tier.
- Each skill in a given tier gives different Loot Quality based on the skill's rarity (Rabbit missions give +0.5 Loot Quality, while Fox missions give +1.1 Loot Quality)
- Chain, Iron, and Diamond missions drop crafting materials for tier I, tier II, and tier III island gear, respectively.
- Heroic island missions are no longer locked behind max masteries.
- The line shows how far away you are from the next loot table
Balloon Valley /realm
Get ready to put your archery skills to the test in this new exciting realm experience! Break flowers to collect arrows and shoot as many balloons as you can before your time runs out!
- Each balloon gives a unique buff.
- Breaking tulips give one arrow, while tall flowers give two arrows.
- Buffs and balloon points are amplified by how far balloons are from the center platform.
- Hitting multiple balloons without missing grants a streak that multiplies base point value.
- Shooting balloons from the center platform grants a 2x point multiplier, an unrestricted streak cap, and 2x damage to big balloons.
- Using the doorways at the base of the middle tower to teleport back up and reset your streak.
Sandbox Minigame
Grab your shovels and prepare to locate buried treasure in this new minigame! Cycle through three different spades (by right clicking) in order to tactfully locate bombs and reveal treasure in a 7x7 grid. Place a sandbox on your island to create a one-time use portal for you and your friends to enter!
- Use the mines spade to reveal the number of bombs in the surrounding tiles.
- Use the treasure spade to reveal the highest valued item in the surrounding tiles.
- Use the anchor spade to reveal the coordinates of the least valued item in the surrounding tiles.
- Place bomb markers to help you remember where the bombs could be.
- The rewards you get will be added to your /collect upon mining all available blocks.
Fishing Tackle Box
Add bait to your fishing rod using /tacklebox to get a 100% chance to catch specific fish types.
- Fishing island missions no longer give the player a 100% chance to catch the mission's respective fish.
- Craft bait using drops obtained through fishing
- Running /tacklebox while having a fishing rod in your hotbar allows you to click on bait in your inventory to insert it into your tacklebox
- The button in the middle of the GUI allows you to select which bait gets used when catching fish
Raffles
A new way to gamble all of your hard earned money! Players can purchase raffle tickets for three different high-value rewards, drawn every 6 hours.
- Open /raffle to see what’ll be rolled soon and what has been rolled recently.
- Raffle tickets cost $10,000 each.
- Loot table changes on adventure unlock.
Spawn Chest Shops
You can now advertise your auction house items at spawn! Simply place a chest down and your ah will become an interactable shop at spawn where players can browse your great deals!
- The display item will be the first auction that you created on /ah that is still active.
- You can edit the display text under the item by shift-clicking your chest shop.
- You can use minimessage colors in your display text
- Left-click to break your chest shop.
- You can only have one active chest shop at a time.

A new way to enhance your weapon through unique abilities! There are 5 ability engrams available, currently only applicable to adventure weapons and can be obtained primarily through mini-boss loot tables.
