Patch 022
Friday March 16, 2018, 00:01 UTC
For those looking forward to the Corgi race, sorry - it was our April Fools! ːtoastsmileː
Adjustments to Player vs Player
We have made alterations to how PvP works in Tale of Toast. We saw that forcing players to take part of PvP didn't work as envisioned, and instead we now have it so players do not need to take part of it all the time but instead can do it on their own terms:
- There is a brand new dedicated PvP zone that is extremely large compared to other zones - the "No Man's Land". This is the only area with PvP enabled, and is the place where players venture when they want to partake in PvP. Nobody is forced to go into "No-man's land", but there are rewards such as higher concentration of trade skill nodes within this area given the risk of heading out there.
- All other areas have PvP disabled.
For more information, see our previous Steam Announcement: https://steamcommunity.com/games/taleoftoast/announcements/detail/1675777065181630271
Bridge is open, new max level is to 64
We have now opened the bridge! This means you can discover multiple unique areas such as the snowy plains, the desert and the vulcano. There are also new world bosses to experience and an end game dungeon.
The new max level is set to 64 (the soft cap is at level 60, and the hard cap is at level 64) with this new content.
Crafting and Gathering updates
We have made some QoL changes to crafting and gathering that we hope you will enjoy.
Gathering:
- You not only need to click one time to keep gathering a node.
- Added Green Vines loot object (used to craft strings)
Crafting:
- Increased XP gained from crafting end products.
- Batch crafting is a lot faster.
- Removed secondary refined materials.
- Sort recipes a bit better in trade skill window.
- Increased required base materials to compensate for removal of secondary materials.
- Removed XP from Batch Crafting.
Easter event!
Easter is upon us. There are multiple egg pets available for you to find until the 4th of April. Will you find the rarest one?
There will also be a few invasions of Brightwyn happening at completely random times these days for those who are online at the time.
Player misbehaving in chat?
We want to remind everyone there are rules in place regarding behavior around Tale of Toast.
Type /rules when entering the game to see the rules, but one of the most important rules are:
Respect fellow users: Insulting, Harassment, hatespeech, raging arguments, etc is not tolerated.
If you spot a player misbehaving, do Not engage. Ignore them (click on the name and hit ignore), and then press the same player and the "Report" button.
This will send the chat over to our in-game moderators, who will then look into the issue.
Patch 0.2.3
The plan for Patch 0.2.3 is to add more content, skills and balancing.

- Incrased max level to 64 (60 soft cap, 64 hard cap).
- Gathering update: You not only need to click one time to keep gathering a node.
- Crafting Updates: Removed XP from Batch Crafting. Batch crafting is a lot faster. Removed secondary refined materials. Increased required base materials to compensate for removal of secondary materials. Sort recipes a bit better in trade skill window. Increased XP gained from crafting end products.
- Added Green Vines loot object (used to craft strings)
- If you swap chat tab, your current chat target is also swapped.
- Added World Chat Tab.
- Snail pet is now twice its old size.
- Easter is upon us. There are multiple egg pets available for you to find until the 4th of April. Will you find the rarest one?
- Adjusted tradeskill node fail rates, so it's always worth it to upgrade your tools.
- New dragon pet (a miniature version of the dragon GMs ride).
- Killing an enemy with AoE now gives less XP to counter the fact that you can kill a lot within a short time frame.
- Adjustments to equipment stats: Leather now gives: Vitality / Magic (reduced) / Ranged. Mail now gives: Vitality / Strength / Defense (reduced)
- If you have a monster targetted and use a healing skill, you heal yourself automatically.
- Added line of sight to AoE spell casting.
- Buffs of the same type no longer stack.
- Made some debuffs (Rider's, Battle) immune to cleanse.
- If you left click on an enemy, you will now always only select the enemy rather than attack it.
- Increased AFK timer.
- Added Brightwyn Arena, an arena open 24/7 with no rewards but where you can go train your PvP skills risk free.
- Reduced Mana gained from Wisdom by 25% (same as Magic).
- Healing someone involved in PvP now only gives 50% of the heal.
- Can now attack guild members inside the Brightwyn Arena.
- Added more droppable Bows of all tiers to the game.
- Added a white outline to the trade skill minimap icons, as they were sometimes hard to see.
- Improvements to network code
- Enabled Location Triggers again. This means each areas got its old PvP rules again and the map icons are now accurate with Mineral Ruins being Multi Combat for example.
- Enabled Florin Arena again. This is a location where you can fight with zero risks involved while fighting for special mounts and such. In the arena you don't get a skull, and you never drop any items, gold or xp when dying in there).
- 1vs1 areas are now true 1vs1 areas again, you can no longer attack skulled players with multiple people.
- When dismounting, you have "Rider Fatigue" for 15 seconds, during which time you cannot attack another player. The reason for this was that using mounts in PvP was very over powered, and with 60% mounts you'd be able to ride up to players without them even having a chance to react to you coming towards them.
- Low level players were mistakingly attacking high level players, so we changed so that the PvP level limitations are now also upwards instead of only downwards.
- AoEs no longer damage players in towns.
- Reduced mana gained from Magic by 25%.
- Moved some tradeskill NPCs apart in Nora.
- Added a few extra guards to Nora.
- Removed Magic from Maces
- If you right click something, it also targets it.
- If you try to heal a player who is attacking you, you will heal yourself instead.
- Added a dock to Old Mill.
- Added outer wall guards to Florin City.
- Removed Teleport at Kinborough as it was too much of an advantage to have teleport there.
- Blue River Crossing Bridge now got guards.
- All basic tradeskill recipes are now auto-learned up to T4 (lumber recipes, cloth recipes / etc).
- Crumbs are now sold with Bonus crumbs instead of Discounts.
- Increased prices of Tier 4 recipes and above.
Fixes
- Added Crimson Gloves to loot tables of enemies.
- Can no longer cast AoE spells and hit people while under Rider fatigue.
- You now lose gold when skulled and get killed by a guard.
- You can now ignore players by clicking in the chat box again.
