Archery, Fletching and Foraging

Archery, Fletching and Foraging arrive, along with a Toolbelt, an in-game Report window, Tilly's random events and much better mobile controls.

The patch released on July 10, 2026.

Added Archery as a new combat skill! Fight from a distance with crossbows and bolts from bronze through emberite. Starting archery gear can be found in the Archery Shop.
Added Fletching as a new production skill. Turn flax into string, and combine logs, feathers, metal bars and crossbow limbs to create bolts, crossbows, mulch and more.
Added Foraging as a new gathering skill. Wild plants can now be gathered throughout Taria, starting with flax found on full green grass tiles.
Added a Fletching Bench, an Archery Shop and a Fletching Shop south of the blacksmith in the forest.
Added turkeys, which drop the feathers used to make bolt shafts.
Added flax drops to support early Foraging and Fletching progression.
Melee armor now has negative Archery bonuses. Wearing heavy melee gear may stop you dealing Archery damage, so your equipment matters when switching combat styles.

Farming

Added multiple tiers of mulch, made from different log types through Fletching. Better mulch helps crops hold water for longer.
Added a single option to fill a crop's compost and mulch completely with supplies from your inventory.
Crop outlines now show water, compost, mulch and health, making it much easier to check your farm at a glance.
Greatly reduced crop disease rates.
Crops can now be planted closer together.
The minimap is now visible inside the farm.
Fixed several farming visual issues, including untilled tiles sometimes looking tilled.

Reworked melee range, hitboxes and target selection to make close-range combat feel much more consistent.
Improved NPC chasing so enemies follow players more reliably.
Interaction options now appear for anything within your current interaction range.
Interaction range now matches melee range, keeping movement, combat and interactions consistent.
Added an optional Auto Retaliate setting. When it's on, your character automatically attacks NPCs that attack you.
The attack button now previews which action it will perform before you press it.
Added a Pickup All option for drops from NPCs you kill.
NPC health bars now use their own color, and damage you deal and damage you take have unique colors too, making busy fights easier to read.
NPCs now stop moving while talking with a player.
Fixed NPCs sometimes moving without facing the right direction.
Fixed position drift that could make players and NPCs appear far from their real server position over time.
Player and NPC positions are now anchored at the bottom-center of their feet, improving movement, targeting and collision accuracy.

Added several new teleport items.
NPCs can now drop teleports to nearby locations, giving more useful travel rewards while exploring and fighting.
Lich bosses now drop two different Skeleton Key halves. Combine both halves at an anvil with the required Smithing level to create a reusable Skeleton Dungeon teleport.
NPCs now drop raw food instead of cooked food, giving Cooking a more useful role in regular combat progression.
Greatly improved world map performance.
Added ground item dots to the world map.
Randomly walking NPCs, including the ones on the main menu, now check collisions, so they no longer wander through blocked areas.
Fixed several map issues and a visual problem with the Skeleton Dungeon gates.

Added a Toolbelt with dedicated slots for your weapon, pickaxe, axe, hoe, watering can, scythe, fishing net, fishing rod, cage and harpoon.
Tools stored in the Toolbelt stay available for their actions while freeing up normal inventory space.
Items can now be used straight from the Inventory window.
When dragging an item, its matching equipment slot now highlights.
Crafting progress now updates in real time while items are being made.
Reduced the skill requirements for most tools, so upgrades become available sooner.
Greatly adjusted the maximum resources available from gathering nodes.
Fixed inventory items wrongly appearing in the listings view of player-owned shops.

Added a new in-game Report window: report rule-breaking players, submit bug reports, or send feedback and suggestions straight from the game.
Added optional random events featuring Tilly. You can choose whether to take part when she appears.
Added notification settings for supported in-game events. Discord and mobile notifications can be turned on in Settings > Notification Settings.
Beacon boosts can now notify players who have subscribed to alerts.

Added an Ignore List tab to the Friends window. Ignored players' messages and requests no longer appear.
Members can now see the live locations of friends and guild members on the world map.
Friends appear as green dots on the minimap, and guild members as orange dots.
Increased friend limits:
- Free: 100
- Bronze: 250
- Silver: 500
- Gold: 1,000
Added guild rank icons above player names.
Name Change Tokens, Guild Space Increases, Guild Name Change Tokens and Pet Name Change Tokens are now tradeable.
Fixed a wrong notification saying you received a friend request when you were the one who sent it.
Improved the alignment of names and player icons in chat.
Fixed long messages making the text caret wrap incorrectly.
Fixed chat messages sometimes not appearing after you finished typing.
Number keys 0–9 no longer select hotbar slots while typing.

GREATLY improved mobile input handling to reduce missed taps and accidental button presses. (Mobile is 1000x better to use now.)
Fixed several mobile crashes.
On first launch, the mobile app now adds safe-area padding automatically, so notches and screen cutouts don't block the controls.
Added an option to remember your mobile sign-in and skip the sign-in prompt when opening the game.
The thumbstick now always moves your character at full speed, wherever you press it, so movement feels more like WASD.
Moved the chatbox up slightly so the chat filter buttons are easier to press.
Fixed players getting stuck walking after right-clicking in the web client.

Toast messages can now be clicked to dismiss them right away.
Improved the names, icons and level display above players.
Equipped cosmetics can now be removed straight from the Wardrobe.

Turkeys now drop a lot more feathers.
Your character's head now shows in the dialog window (NPC portraits are coming in a future update).
The Skeleton Key's description now says it has unlimited uses.
Updated the report icon.
Fixed a bug that let people collect multiple rewards from random events.
