We’re continuing our journey through upcoming changes that are planned for later this year. We have many topics to explore in the coming weeks, and today, we’d like to introduce a new feature that will enhance your crafting experience - the Journal. Let’s take a closer look at what’s in store!
Introducing the Journal
Your go-to resource for crafting is simply named the Journal! This new feature not only has the functionality of better tracking for combat and crafting skill progression but also adds a wealth of new information that enhances your overall gameplay experience. Note that everything listed below is still Work in Progress, and subject to change until it’s being released.
Key Features of the Journal:
- Unlocked Recipe Tracking: The Journal now lists all recipes your character has unlocked. This makes it easier to set crafting goals and track your progress.
- Ingredient Overview: You can now see all the ingredients you’ve picked up and those required by your recipes, allowing for better inventory management and preparation.
- Unlock Notifications: Whenever you unlock a new recipe, a notification will link directly to the Journal, providing instant access to recipe details and which crafting table you need to use to make it, streamlining your crafting process.
- Interactive Ingredients: Clickable ingredients within the recipes offer further information, enhancing your understanding of crafting needs.
- Sorting and Filtering: Search among your recipes to find exactly what you need quickly, making the crafting process smoother than ever.
- Recipe Pinning (coming in a future update): Keep track of your current crafting projects by pinning recipes to follow along with, an enhancement planned for a later update.
The Journal aims to improve usability and visibility while giving you better control over your crafting progression. When you pick up an item, you can instantly check the Journal to see what it can be used to make, making the crafting journey more intuitive.

Last but not least - a word about timing.
Our teams are hard at work putting the finishing touches to the upcoming content update, and our goal is to release it within a month. It will take us another couple of weeks to check everything is ready, and then we will be able to confirm the exact date.
With this content update, we’ll be changing the geography of the world of Pax Dei, allowing us to introduce a new biome, review the resource distribution, change existing and add new PVE locations. We are also adjusting the borders of the Home Valleys in the process.
These changes require that we release all the plots, as most of the places where they are currently placed will be transformed after the update. Your current home could end up at the bottom of a lake, or below a mountain! Fear not, the content of your plot won’t be lost: we’re working on a mechanism that will allow us to transfer it back to their owners after the update. Also, you’ll be able to keep your characters.
We’re sure you have a lot of questions. We’ll be posting more about the upcoming changes very soon, and all the details regarding the wipe will be included in the official announcement of the content update.
Pax vobiscum,
The Mainframe Team
