This update includes improvements to the movement controls that should make farming smoother. Arrow keys can now be used in tile mode to select adjacent tiles. There's also a new staircase by the Shard Crystal to make it more convenient to reach, and additional bridges and steps added to later Homestead expansions for better navigation.

Players can now sign up for the Spellfarers newsletter in-game to receive the latest news and other goodies, as well as a free 100 Shard bonus!

Gameplay Updates

• Updated controls for the player character:
• The avatar will always turn to the input direction. This should provide better precision when farming.
