December Patch Notes

December 18, 2025

Welcome to the December update! This patch makes big changes to risk/reward in the Wilderness, adds several new currencies and progression paths, expands ways to obtain keys and god items, and drops a ton of new Essence Books into the world. Read the important changes carefully — things you carry now matter more than ever.

Major Gameplay Change

  • Keep Inventory removed (outside Spawn).
    Keep Inventory now only applies at Spawn. If you die in the Wilderness you can lose all items — be careful.

New Currencies & How they work

Skywind Gold Coins

  • Used at Spawn to buy useful resources (examples: Enderbones, String of Sacrifice).

  • Enderbone: Right-click another player while holding this to view their inventory (viewer only — you cannot take items).

  • String of Sacrifice: When in your inventory, protects your items if you fall into the void; the string is consumed on use. This special string is sold by a secret trader at Spawn.

Ancient Relics

  • Found in chests across the Wilderness and obtainable from the Shear event (shear a purple sheep to get a drop).

  • Exchange Ancient Relics at the Currency Exchange Villager (Spawn) to buy Evolution Shards used to evolve god items.

Evolution Shards

  • Spend these at special villagers at Spawn to evolve god items.
    Important: The god item must be at full durability for the evolution trade to be accepted; evolving requires a set amount of Evolution Shards.

Evolved Blue Fish → Union of Conquest

  • Evolved Blue Fish are rare finds in Wilderness chests/structures.

  • Trade them at the Currency Exchange Villager to receive Union of Conquest.

  • Union of Conquest can be used to buy the Zeus Key from the Glover trader (Spawn). More Union purchases will be added soon.

Magma Shards

  • Earn Magma Shards by finishing Top 3 in the Volcanic Eruption event.

  • Magma Shards can be traded at the Currency Exchange Villager for Dragon Eggs.

Embers

  • A crafting/exchange currency used to make Dragon Eggs.

  • Craft Dragon Eggs using Embers in a crafting table or in your inventory, or exchange 4 Embers → 1 Dragon Egg at the Currency Exchange Trader.

Keys & Free-to-Play Acquisition

  • Wild Keys — can be found in chests scattered through Wilderness structures.

  • Other Keys (Atlantis, Blood, Dimensional, Inferno, Essence, Khione, Zeus, etc.) — primarily obtainable from Supply Drops. Supply Drops post coordinates in chat when they appear and can contain:

    • Examples: Atlantis Key, Blood Key, Dragon Eggs, Dimensional Key, Embers, Essence Key, Inferno Key, Khione Key, Sky Remnants, Wild Key, Zeus Key, and more.

  • Keys can also be rewarded for finishing #1 in events.

  • To see event schedules use /events. If event times are not in your timezone, run /timezone. If your timezone isn’t listed, please contact staff (Discord or in-game staff).

More Ways to Obtain God Items

  • God items (armor, swords, tools, etc.) and many currencies can now be found in Wilderness chests, especially inside structures. Exploration is rewarded — bring careful risk management.

New Essences

Essence Books have been added and can be found in Essence Crates. These upgrade items with buffs, attacks, and spells. New essences include:

Weapon Essences

  • Backstab, Batman, Blind, Critical Plus, Decapitation, Doom Dance, Feed Blocker, High Gravity Critical, Ice Domain, Increased Melee Damage, Life Steal, Lightning Strike, Nausea, Poison, Skyfall, Slowness, Starve, Wither

Bow Essences

  • Chain Shot, Corruption, Cripple, Falken, Frostbite, Arrow Damage, Santa’s Rage, Spectral Shot, Viper

Shield Essences

  • Heal on Shield Block, Reflect Melee on Block
