Just to let you guys know what's happening. The new hunting NPC boss is coming and it's going to be awesome, if slightly late. Steven is still drawing up the images. I hope the weapons and misc item he drops will offer real viable alternatives to the current avatar items and they look pretty cool to top things off.

He should be with you soon, stay tuned.

That is the crystal update all finished, you can combine crystals using the 'use' option in your inventory. All the old crystals should now be Crystal Shards in your inventories and market. Let me know if you encounter any bugs, everything has been fully tested though.

I'm not currently providing a way to break crystals down in to 2 smaller versions. I may add this in the future though as it may be useful for people wanting to use the crystal exchange.

The roadmap update is coming. Totally didn't realise I had to draw 108 images to add 54 items to the game and update 9 items. Steven helped a lot by concepting some bigger images for me but I've spent most of the day drawing little images and hue shifting stuff for all the crystals.

Apologies for the repeated delays, the items should all be in the game tomorrow along with the update that will allow you to "Use" a crystal to combine it with another of the same color and quality. All the current crystals will become crystal shards some time in the early hours of the morning in preparation.

We will be shunting everything in the roadmap from this point on back one week to allow a bit more time to work through some stuff. You'll not be getting crystal combining tomorrow and when it does come there will be also be some changes to it based on feedback.

Instead of 5 stages of Crystal, we're going to have 7 stages. Fragment, Shard, Small, Medium, Large, Giant and Perfect. Current crystals will all be converted in to shard stage crystals soon.

Meaning you'll need 64 fragments to make a perfect crystal, or 32 of the current crystals when they become shards. This is quite a lot of new art work but should add a bit more longevity to the system. You can combine them up 2 at a time so it shouldn't eat up too much of your inventory space.

This update should go live March 5th although some parts of it may show up before then. Sorry for the delay.
