Patch Notes

[idyl]

Honestly, I’m probably never going to randomly click on the “Updates” link in-game hoping to see what’s been updated, if anything. Unless it lights up or somehow notifies me that there’s an Update.

I will literally wait for someone to take that info (when it does appear) and re-post it on Reddit, Discord, or the official forum. Just something to consider.

[enail]

Yeah, I’m really hoping it will light up or something, it seems pretty unlikely I’ll remember to check otherwise.

[ragnardegenhand]

I’m not sure anybody ever finds “being told once” sufficient. Life’s too complex for that to work.

I’ve been keeping up with the patch notes by following this thread with an RSS reader. Going to miss being able to receive them in a centralized place like that. Crossing my fingers and wishing for an RSS feed to be added to the updates page.

[skinnyman]

Yup, my point exactly!

Let’s not forget the effect of irrigo when it comes to news delivered to the forums vs other channels.

I think it’s also nice to have a dedicated place to discuss the patch notes. For example:

@lukefbg

Uses of Villains can now be traded on ‘The Alleys of London: the Criminals’ for a better rate than offered by the Bazaar.

Can you do Book of Hidden Bodies next? Pleeeeeease?

[psgarak]

Well I suppose if they’re being posted in-game, there’s nothing stopping any of us who check from copy-pasting into the forums, especially when there’s something notable.

• Access to the Shroom-Hopping activity is now permanently unlocked with a one-time Fate payment.
  • Characters who have previously engaged in Shroom-Hopping have had the activity permanently unlocked.

Last week there were no new updates, but this week has a nice one!

Week Ending 6th March 2026

• Fixed an issue where players could accept the same invitation twice.
• Fixed layout of left-side menu on mobile devices.
• Both emails and in-game messages about Living Stories (such as Time, the Healer) now present their effects in a list format, rather than as a paragraph.

A LIST for long TtH messages, at last! She heard our prayers!

Week Ending 27th March 2026

• It no longer costs an action to move from the Shuttered Palace to the Empress’ Court.
• Fixed an edge case issue preventing Furnace from being hired back to the board under certain circumstances.

Week Ending 20th March 2026

• Simplified and revised the Duchess’ presentation with a new icon and small text tweaks.

Extras, but not mentioned

• New Duchess portrait spotted in the Tomb Colonies
• Recaps for major storylines now available in your longings

Have there been no new updates this month to appear in the new updates section?

[idyl]

Maybe even they forgot that the “Updates” section exists.

I actually sent a bug report for this on Friday, and received a reply.

Hi there - we just by chance haven’t had anything to share, by chance, that counts as a patch (i.e. a player-facing fix or tweak to an existing feature.) There have been a couple of things released since then though; the new “Deliveries” feature; a novel way to reclaim your soul in the Stacks; and there may even be more out there players haven’t found yet ;).

There are some more major things coming out in the next couple of weeks so we’ll probably be patching them ;)

Take from that what you will.

I had noticed the version number had ticked up at some point in the last few weeks (or maybe a little more) from 6.5.104 to 6.5.106 but I figured that was some preparation or other for Whitsun, but presumably it’s actually for these mysterious new releases instead.

[amalgamate]

What’s the deliveries feature? Did I miss that?

[raccoonajr]

Playing messenger between the Duchess and the Roseate Queen.

[amalgamate]

Oooh right. Yeah I did a few of those but not too many. How profitable is it?

[phryne]

@psgarak

and there may even be more out there players haven’t found yet ;)

I think it goes like this

• 1 action to accept duchess request
• 1 extra action in arbor (which I do anyway) to dump a 62.5e item and accept the counterrequest
• 1 of:
  – heist - about 13a, gives 25e of items
  – expedition - 9a+20 supplies(and getting those is another about ~14 actions?), gives 50e(?) of items
  – science - about 5a, gives 12.5e item
  – parahunt - about 8a, gives 12.5e item
• 3a to get your reward - 62.5e to replace the one you spent, plus 37.5e of other items

So, let’s assume 25% of each

• 18a - 62.5e
• 28a - 87.5e
• 10a - 50e
• 13a - 50e
  → 69a - 250e → 3.62 epa?

Even if I could force the science project every time, that would still be only 5 epa.
The parahunt could be made faster probably, I think with A Dream of Red Chivalry and high nightmares I could make it an action faster? still too slow.
Heist with perfect rng is 3a faster than what I used, which still gives only 4.16 epa from that branch
for the expedition to reach 5 epa, I would need to get 20 supplies in … 8 actions (including all spent resources)?

I finally managed to draw What Profit? again after finding “my” soul in the Stacks. So… the POSI option is different. I can’t tell if it’s tracking the fact my Soul is apocryphal or if that’s just how the option generally is now, but instead of a Fabulous Diamond I got different text and a Glimpse of Anathema. And now I’m wondering if the if-it-exists things-we-haven’t-discovered is follow-up to that.

[You may be able to recover your own, real soul later… but it’s not an easy road.]
