􀀃


The main new changes are listed below.  This should cover most of the known issues.  We are still working on upgrading the whole Krafties Battle System for the Krafties PVP Battles and this should be expected finished by the next update with some great surprises.  

This update has focused alot on the backend of Krafties to give us much more flexibility to bring new content and ideas out quicker in the future.

This updater will update: Krafties Creatures (Bonded & Unbonded), Home, Battle & Crafting Temples

        Issues with shadows rezzing fixed
        
        
Crafting Temple
    Infinicraft
        We have now added a new object into crafting.  This will give us the ability to add alot more flexible items when crafting, including mesh and unlimited prims.  
This will become more apparent as we release new objects.
    Crafting Soul Choice
        Fixed soul choice issues from crafting temple when crafting Souls
    Gold members need 250E to craft a soul, even if it cost 187E
        Fixed issues where craft leaders would need 250E even if the soul only cost 187E

Home Temple
    Added more support for different range of wilds in the future
    
    
Whats next?

We're working on a whole new Battle System for Krafties which will give us the ability to add unlimited spells, effects and battle features easier.  This will also improve PVP and we may make it possible to have danger zones where you can battle directly.  

With this update we have upgraded alot of things behind the scenes that will make it more possible to do a wide range of different new features without updating each time.  This is where we can begin to start releasing alot more content without the the restrictions we faced before.

There is alot of suggestions people have been posting at Ideascale and we are watching them closely and taking alot of positive feedback from them, 
and we'll continue to implement as much as we can as we go.

These skills are similar to Attack, Strength and Defense although rather than physical damage attacks, these are designed more for mental attacks.  Currently these will be able to be progressed by collecting special Scrolls drops from wilds and then converted into experience.  We also plan to offer many more ways such as item conversion and more.
