6-May-2026 - Fractured Reality Quest

Grrrayam the kobold would like your help finding his pet metaliths. He last saw them hurtling into the deepest part of the Mine of Mantuban during an ill-advised game of minecart racing. All you need to do is track them down (pun intended). If only things were ever that simple... To start Fractured Reality, you will first need to complete the Mantuban's Legacy quest, and then speak with Grrrayam in the Truck Cave. The lead developers for the Fractured Reality quest were Paul and Ian. ...

28-Apr-2026 - Enchanted Trees

Alchemists can now brew tree enchantment potions at the potent potion station. These potions allow you to enchant trees of your choice in Hopeforest.

Muddle is of the firm opinion that it only needs a shield, as everyone knows that defense is the best form of offense. ...

16-Apr-2026 - Pickaxe Resonators

Pickaxe resonators can now be found growing on the brambles in Hopeforest. To be able to chop out a resonator, you will need the appropriate woodcutter level for the bramble it is attached to. Resonators are attached to your pickaxe, and each resonator corresponds to one kind of ore or rock. There is no resonator for deathstone, as deathstone is not mined with a pickaxe. Mining with a resonator gives you a 5% chance of finding a geode. ...
