COMBAT

• Fixed several exploits for the Bow weapon that required the use of third-party software to gain extra damage.
• Fixed an exploit for the Bow weapon that required action-cancelling to gain extra damage.

ECONOMY, PROGRESSION & GEAR

• Fixed an issue where crafting recipes that do not directly produce an item, such as research projects or camp skins, resulted in a “crafting attempt failure” message and abort.

• Ritual Pouches will grant a variety of alchemical crafting materials, potions, a sum of coin, and a single Diamond Gypsum (up to a maximum daily limit of 3).
