| 2026-07-07-patch | Equipment | item | rebalance | General equipment rebalance, unspecified in the patch notes. The client-data equipment stats extracted 2026-07-05 may be out of date as of this patch; treat pre-patch datamine-candidate stat rows as unverified against the current build until re-checked. | official |

| 2026-07-07-patch | Archery | skill | rework | Rigid arrow requirements for bows under Archery. Officially confirms bow level requirements are governed by the Archery skill (resolving the prior Archery-vs-Crafting ambiguity for all bow tiers). Also implies arrow-tier matching is now enforced, which may retire the previously documented "any arrow tier grants Archery XP" behavior — that behavior should be treated as pre-patch until re-confirmed. | official |
| 2026-07-07-patch | technical | bugfix | PvP and PvE loot timers now behave as they should (exact prior behavior not detailed). | official | |
| 2026-07-07-patch | technical | bugfix | Improved hitboxes on world objects. | official | |
| gameplay-verified | |||||
| Arrow Shaft | item | recipe rework | Arrow crafting changed from a two-step, one-arrow-at-a-time recipe (Arrow Shaft + Feather → Headless Arrow; Headless Arrow + arrow tip → 1 arrow) to instantly making 15 arrows from an arrow shaft plus arrow tips. "Arrow tip" is the term as encountered in-game; the catalog's Arrowhead items are the presumed match. The governing skill is unconfirmed. Exact date unknown; between the 2026-06-22 Sigma launch and 2026-07-04. | gameplay-verified | |
| Headless Arrow | item | recipe rework | No longer produced in the reworked standard arrow recipe, which makes 15 arrows directly from an arrow shaft plus arrow tips; whether Headless Arrows remain craftable or used is unconfirmed. Exact date unknown; between 2026-06-22 and 2026-07-04. | gameplay-verified |
Changes Observed In-Game
Changes observed in gameplay that predate a curated changelog. Dates are given as windows when the exact date is unknown.
Arrow crafting rework (exact date unknown; between 2026-06-22 and 2026-07-04)
At the Sigma launch (2026-06-22), arrows were made in two steps, one arrow at a time: an Arrow Shaft plus a Feather made a Headless Arrow, and a Headless Arrow plus an arrow tip made one arrow. This was later changed so that combining an arrow shaft with arrow tips instantly makes 15 arrows (verified in-game, July 2026). "Arrow tip" is the term as encountered in-game; the item catalog's Arrowhead items (for example Bronze Arrowhead) are the presumed match, not yet confirmed. The skill that governs arrow crafting is unconfirmed. The exact change date is unknown — sometime between the 2026-06-22 launch and 2026-07-04. Whether feathers and Headless Arrows still play any part in arrow crafting after the rework has not been confirmed.
