    • You can only plant things in the planter when the planter is on the ground.
    • Mushrooms can be planted below or above ground in the large planters.
    • You cannot plant Rice or Reeds.
    • You cannot harvest if the crop is not ripe.
    • Crops can be tended every 24 hours.
    • Planter name will be appended with (Untended) when it is time to tend the planter.
    • Growth stage will also be appended (numerical < 5), with (Ripe) being appended when they are ready to be harvested (5th stage).
    • There will be no tending on or after the ripe stage.

    • Furling and unfurling sails is done by tapping the forward and back keys.
    • Mooring anchor can now be inside the boat hold and you can just right-click the boat to moor. On raising the anchor, it checks if there’s room in ship’s inventory – if there is, then it puts the anchor there instead of player inventory.

Jackal Skill Transfer Now Live

Hi Everyone,

The skill transfer from Jackal to Freedom is now live. By now you may have seen a small tick in skills that transferred over. We have increased the amount that transfers as well as allowed for fight skill to transfer too. If you encounter any bugs please post them on the forums as usual!

Happy Hunting!

Database Rollback 31/OCT/19

We’ve had to roll back the database to before the update earlier this morning. We’ve awarded 5 hours of sleep bonus as compensation. Additionally we’ve disabled Jackal skill transfers for the time being. We’ve fixed the exploit that caused the need for a rollback, however we are investigating the severe lag caused by transferring.
