September Update
September 19, 2024
Hey everyone!
We've been hard at work this past month refining and expanding the world of Unyha, and we're excited to share the latest updates with you. This round of updates focuses on making the crafting economy more strategic, introducing spellstaves for mages, and improving the map and fast travel systems to enhance your overall exploration experience. Here's a breakdown of what's new:
Crafting Economy Refactor
We’ve revamped the crafting system to make resource management and skill progression more meaningful.
Increased Resource Requirements: All craftables now require 10x the resources and time, ensuring that every crafted item is valuable and production isn't overwhelming.
New Training Feature: To help with skill progression, we’ve introduced training exercises that consumes fewer resources but doesn't produce physical items. The rarer the materials you train with, the faster your skill increases, allowing for more control over your progression without flooding the economy with items.

Crafting Spellstaves
We've introduced an exciting new crafting opportunity for mages: Spellstaves.
Gem Extraction from Ores: Players can now extract gems from ores, opening up new possibilities for crafting enchanted items. This adds another layer of exploration and resource gathering to Unyha.
Enchanted Spellstaves: Use these gems to enchant regular staves, turning them into powerful Spellstaves that are suitable for mages, offering new gameplay opportunities for magic-based characters.
Map Improvements
Exploration just got a lot easier and more intuitive with several key upgrades to the map.
Waypoints on Compass and World Map: Waypoints now show up on both the compass and the world map, making it much easier to navigate and track important locations.
Pan and Zoom the Map Freely: You can now pan and zoom freely across the world map, allowing for easier planning and exploration.
Custom Waypoints: Players can now set their own custom waypoints, giving you more control over your journey across Unyha.
Fast Travel System
We're introducing Fast Travel to previously visited Unyha Trees!
Fast Travel from Unyha Trees:
You can now fast travel from any previously visited Unyha Tree, using the same cooldown as the
Recall Home
feature (5 minutes). This will help make long-distance travel more convenient while keeping the exploration feel intact.
That’s all for this update! We’re really excited about these changes and can’t wait to see how they impact your experience in Unyha. As always, thank you for your continued support and feedback. Let us know what you think, and stay tuned for more exciting updates soon!
