Launch Patch #4 / VER 1.0.327 - REV 95452 / 24 August 2017
Improvements
- Made various improvements to Journals:
- Corrected drop weights and Fame amounts for many resources involved in crafting journals; previously everything that wasn't the first resource in the list had a very low chance of dropping and gave out slightly too much Fame
- Added leather to possible rewards from Tinker journals
- Made furniture (including repair stations) count towards Tinker journals
- Reduced Fame payout for Trophy journals; previously they were effectively the fastest way to level your laborer, which is silly and would lead to a huge surplus of trophies
- Fame payouts from Journals are now always rounded up, which increases payout by 1 in a couple of cases
- All Tier 3 weapons now count towards crafting journals
- Clarified the "Craft Skinning Knife" Destiny Board step to say that you need to do it at the workbench, to try and smooth new-player understanding
- Increased the maximum sell price for real estates to 100 million silver
- Gathering now improves Reputation five times faster than before

- He no longer charges towards his target after his whirlwind
- His "Whack" attack deals less damage and takes longer to finish
- Royal Sigil Transmutation cost reduced: 5 -> 2

- Crafting times of all equipment items have been reduced a lot, this is especially noticeable on higher tiers and enchanted items
- Bean Salad buff duration changed from 5 minutes to 2 minutes
- Changed login screen background texture filtering to bilinear (should remove the aliasing)

stays the samehas been roughly halved - Increased Black Market drop rates by around 2x
- Reduced the increased spawn rates of T4 resources somewhat (they are still higher than the baseline)
