Hello Adventurers! These last two weeks have marked a big milestone for the game, with the completion of our 12th playable job. Let's get into all the details, but first, take note: Tangledeep is 15% off as part of Steam's autumn sale! http://store.steampowered.com/app/628770/Tangledeep/

THE WILD CHILD

Inspired by the concept of Blue Magic from the Final Fantasy series, the Wild Child rounds out Tangledeep's lineup of playable jobs*. Raised by monsters in Tangledeep itself, the Wild Child has only a handful of abilities available by default; she learns most of her skills from monsters! In total, there are 12 monster abilities you can learn, ranging from the Salamander's Fire Breath to the roar of the Mottled Sandjaw, all the way to the Destroyer's mighty cannon fire. Every ability has both a primary effect and a secondary self-buff. Learning all monster powers gives you a huge array of new options! * More jobs will come post-release!

CLAW COMBAT

Going hand-in-hand with the Wild Child is a new weapon type: claws. These weapons are ideal for characters who go "all-in" and offer a ferocious new fighting style. Claws are more easily dual-wielded than other weapon types, and gain power as you take damage. Their weapon masteries make it even easier to stay in the fray and tear apart your enemies.

MAGIC MOD EXTRACTION

For those of you looking to get that perfect modifier for your gear, you're in luck: the Dreamcaster can now be used to extract magical properties from items! Doing this will destroy the item, but give you a Lucid Orb Shard with a specific magic mod attached. Getting three shards will automatically create a full Lucid Orb used to attach that mod to any other item.

NEW ITEMS

Since the last set of patch notes, you'll now find 6 new legendary items and several new consumables!

EXPANDED TUTORIAL ZONE

There is now a second tutorial area after the first "Path to Tangledeep", which appears when you make a character on a fresh save slot. This new area is larger and offers some opportunities to explore and learn mechanics without the fear of running into champions or respawning monsters.

TONS OF BALANCE CHANGES

Thanks to your feedback, we've adjusted many job abilities, monsters, Item Dream mechanics, magic mods, and other game features to provide a better experience overall. Be sure to check the full patch notes to see what changed.
