Bug Fixes & Improvements
Thanks to detailed bug reports from our community, we've squashed several issues affecting the multi-tower experience. Here's what's been fixed:
Portal System Fix
Portals now correctly display the tower you're actually exploring. Previously, elf characters exploring Sylvanthal would see their portals labeled as "Aetherspire" (the human tower). Now the portal command properly detects which tower you're in and displays the correct name.
Merchant Interactions Restored
Merchants on floors 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 are now properly accessible after server restarts. Previously, you could see the merchant in the room description, but shop and talk merchant commands wouldn't work. This has been fixed - merchants will now always be interactable.
Treasure Chest Clarification
Treasure rooms now clearly show "an opened treasure chest" and examining it explains that previous adventurers have already pried it open. The treasure is scattered on the floor - just use get to collect items. Remember: your Treasure Key unlocks the door to the treasure room, not a chest inside!
Legendary Key Enhancements
The legendary key dropped by tower bosses now functions as a true master key:
- Unlocks any door in any tower - no more hunting for specific keys
- Never consumed - use it as many times as you want
- One per character - these legendary items are bound to you and cannot be dropped or traded
- Unique collection - if you already have one, duplicates won't appear in boss loot
Other boss trophies (Crown of the Goblin King, Spider Queen's Fang, Shadow Orb, Guardian's Core) are also now unique items that can only be owned once per character.
