Update 1.6 - Blood Jungle

This update introduces a brand new type of island into the world. It is the first island that is exclusive to the far oceans. That is, they can only appear outside the initial radius of guaranteed island density in which you begin the game. Along with these new islands comes new NPCs, quests, and items to acquire, including more epic (purple) items than in any other update. But be on your guard. You never know what dangers are lurking in the under-brush.
