Hello everyone!
In todays devlog well tell you about the remaining new features of the Equipment Update II and also announce its release date - December 25th!
Hearing System

The noise system will now work not just for your enemies, but your character as well, allowing you to better plan out your actions. As you explore the surface or dungeons, youll be able to hear enemy activity, which will mark their location on your screen. The chance of hearing the enemy depends on their actions and your Perception: enemy steps are the hardest to detect, but the noise from a fight will be heard from many tiles away.
Berry Bushes

Berry bushes will come in handy if your character is starving. Depending on the biome, youll be able to encounter six berry types: bilberry, raspberry, blueberry, lingonberry, gooseberry, and barberry.
New NPCs

Two new characters will be added to the game:
Bran the Trapper and
Unar the Scribe.
The trapper will periodically appear in either Osbrook or Mannshire, offering you some hunting gear, including the new traps.
Unar the Scribe can be found selling treatises in the Mannshire castle - youll be able to shop from him after completing three Osbrook contracts and gaining access to the castle.
New Consumables

Weve added a number of new narcotic substances to the game. Consuming them provides powerful buffs for a short period of time, however youll have to pay for them with a long and painful aftermath.
- Alqud will give you a stamina boost, increasing Max Energy and Energy Restoration, while decreasing Abilities Energy Cost.
- Abasa will put you into the state of narcotic rage, granting bonus Weapon Damage, Crit Efficiency, Armor Penetration, and Pain Resistance.
- Hornet Honey will sharpen your reflexes, improving Accuracy as well as Counter, Dodge, and Crit Chances.
- Nikkaf will improve your concentration, increasing Vision, Experience Gain, Hunger Resistance, and decreasing Fumble Chance.
- Paregoric is a potent painkiller which will decrease Pain and Pain Limit while improving Morale, Pain Resistance, and Healing Efficiency.
- Stardust has already been available for quite a while, but its effect is now different: it will grant Magic Power, Magic Resistance, Bonus Range, and decrease Cooldowns Duration.
New Enemies

The enemy roster has also been expanded: this update will add 10 new brigand enemies, armed with two-handed maces and axes, and a few new minibosses, including the skeleton ones - eliminating the latter will be a part of a new contract.
Thats all for now. Until the next time!
