WARNING

The original Sundered Isle's content, which utilized Unity 4, has been moved to a Legacy Branch allowing players to access their old save data and continue playing the old content as they wish. Transferring save data between the Main game branch and the Legacy game branch is not supported. Remember to check the Known Issues section below, as well as the Bug Reports forum.

Big Changes:

Enemy Health Bars, Status Effects, and Lord Drackonus.

New Features & Patch Notes:

Enemy Health Bars can now be toggled “On” in your options. This will give you the information to know if you are equipped with a weapon strong enough for the fights you are trying to pick. Status Effects have been reworked and updated with new ways to remove these disabilities. Lord Drackonus is a mysterious and worthy foe that is waiting at night for you to step onto the island of Jormungahr. Are you brave enough to face him? New items added! Here is a list of all of the new items that have been added or adjusted:

• Flawless Items have been removed from the game entirely.
• Babo Shrooms can now be found on all of the islands, eating them causes disease, grinding some up makes babo powder which cures disease, or you can soak less of them in a alchemy cauldron to make a babo potion which also cures disease.
• Nightbloom flowers have returned. There is only 100 of them on the island, each character can only get them once. 5 Nightbloom flowers makes one potion of Kurere, which is the ultimate instant heal.
• Healing from non bandage sources now takes WAY longer than before, instead of 7 second heals it now takes 30 seconds to get the same healing effect.
• Items that cure disease, bleeding, or poison now ALWAYS cure those effects, and do so instantly.
• Poison is now low damage with a really long time frame.
• Bleed is now high damage with a short time frame.
• Disease is completely different now, while diseased you cannot regenerate stamina, and any stamina consuming actions you perform costs double stamina.
• Cotton, Babo Shrooms now respawn after 1 game-days worth of time.
• All ore nodes respawn after 1/2 game-days worth of time.
• Forward movement speed for walking and running has increased.
• Day and Night have been updated to make Day time longer than night time.

• The Ice Shelf is now much colder.
• New locations added to Freydalyn, and Jormungahr.
• The Inferno stone has been adjusted to be easier to mine.
• Hidden Cove has been updated.
• The Monolith now is properly textured.

Enemies:

• Dragon Slayer Drackonus and has a chance to be found on Jormungahr. He has excellent armor, and an exclusive weapon the "Shadow Shroud".
• Leashing time has been adjusted, and the healing effect has been temporarily removed until we can get it working better.
• Eirandor and Kiffi the Deforesters can be found in the Northlands, and Shudderwood.
• Plague Wolfs drop less wolf meat.
• Kur now drops horns, and some worn silver armor pieces.
