Update v0.2.9

The Patron’s Crest

A pass built entirely out of convenience — and a place for your faction to talk.

Released August 25, 2026

This update adds the first thing in Echoes of Creation you can buy that is not an item: a 30-day pass made of convenience. No power you cannot earn, no stat you cannot reach, and nothing that renews itself behind your back. Alongside it, your pledge gets its own chat tab — and a crash that could take the game down on fast travel is closed.

The Patron’s Crest

Bought in days. The days stack. It never renews itself.

🗽

It Saves You The Walk

  • Your account storage, from anywhere. No more running back to town mid-hunt to make room
  • The blacksmith’s upgrade bench, from anywhere. Push a piece one level higher where you stand
⚖

It Saves You The Grind Tax

  • +50 kg carry capacity — fewer trips, longer hunts
  • +25% EXP, and 75% stacked with an EXP Boost Potion
  • Room for 10 Scrolls of Protection instead of 5
  • 30 marketplace listings instead of 20
⌛

Every Day, Every Month

  • Respawn on the spot 10 times a day, instead of walking back
  • One free talent respec a day — try the build instead of theorising about it
  • One free faction change a month
🎁

Yours, And Giftable

  • A separate Patron loadout slot that sits above your own. If the Crest lapses that build is untouched, and it is waiting for you if you come back
  • Gift one to a friend. They get the days straight away, with a mail saying who it came from
  • No auto-renew, no card on file, and nothing you earned leaves with it

Faction Chat

A fourth tab, named after your pledge.

💬

Everyone Who Stands With You

  • Sits beside Map, Global and Guild, and reaches everyone who shares your faction — wherever in the world they happen to be
  • It works whether or not the war is running. It is a place to talk, not a war room
  • Drop notices and system lines stay out of it, the same as Guild and whispers
🔄

Tied To Your Current Pledge

  • Change factions and you arrive to a clean channel. Going back later does not restore what was said before you left
  • What your old faction says stays with your old faction
🔔

And A Dot You Were Missing

  • Map and Global now show an unread dot when you are not watching them. Only Guild did before, which is why quiet conversations in Global were easy to miss

Fixed

One of these could end your session outright.

🛠

Crashes And Transitions

  • Fast travel could take the game down. Opening the world map and travelling would sometimes close the client outright on arrival. One engine-timing fault was behind it, and it is now closed everywhere it could happen — not just on the route that reported it
  • Missing effects are back. The Warrior’s dark greatsword strike, and the arrow and leaf hit effects, were failing to load and simply never appeared
🌅

Out In The World

  • Solarch returns every 3 hours again. He had been coming back every 15 minutes
  • Everyone who damaged a Sundering boss shares its loot window. The killing blow no longer decides who gets first claim
🎒

Interface And Storage

  • An old chat line stopped following you. The last thing you ever typed in map chat popped up over your head every time you logged in — sometimes a message weeks old
  • A bound potion on your hotbar draws its icon instead of sitting there as an empty slot
  • The warehouse tells you the truth. A refused deposit says why, a withdrawal reports the real reason instead of failing silently, and it retries when it cannot load rather than staying empty for the rest of your session
