Known issues​

• Equipment

• Achievements
  • Some of the achievements you can unlock during the Desert of Essences Event are still referring to old difficulties. This will be fixed in one of the next releases.

Improvement/Player Feedback​

• Full map name feature
  • In the Group Overview, when mouse-hovering over the Location where a group is,you will now get a tooltip displayed informing you about the exact location of the group, for example:
    
  • “Kia Krisal (Blue)” or “Dracanian Anniversary Arena (Atlantis)”

Script / Booking

Some players still have issues with recipes not being unlocked correctly even though the required achievements have been unlocked already. To fix this, all recipes will be booked again based on the achievement progress. This should then unlock all missing recipes that were not unlocked correctly before. Even already unlocked recipes may be booked – there is no need to keep them.

What’s next?​

​

While we hope you’re enjoying release 247, we are working hard on the next release that brings you many improvements to the crafting system. We are planning to reduce the amount of ingredients that you must collect and use to craft potions, tonics, elixirs etc. We will also make it easier for you to farm the ingredients and maybe you will also find one of these little friends here:
​

Release 248 will furthermore introduce the possibility to craft specific unique items. You’re not lucky in finding a very specific unique item? Then release 248 got you covered!

Also, Thabo has something new for you in release 248. A small quest will enable you to farm a fix amount of Realm Fragments every day.​

And last but not least, beside some more bug fixes, release 248 will also come with a few tweaks to the Painful and Excruciating difficulties to make it easier for low level players to start farming on higher difficulties. We will also improve the availability of runes and make them drop on Painful.​

We hope you’re having fun with release 247 and looking forward to the upcoming changes of Drakensang Online.

See you in Dracania!
