Changelog v.1.0.8
Graphical Overhaul — Part 1
Our Artists and Level Designers are hard at work to bring some more graphical enhancements that will improve the overall visuals of the game. This week, we are implementing a big batch of re-created trees to the game as well as improvements to the visuals of the wooden fences and other small props. The new trees have more variants than before, making the forests around the world of Gloria Victis look more unique and varied. This is the first part of the upgrade, which will be continued in the following weeks to bring even more reworked visuals to the game!
Crafting Tutorial Questboards
This week brings a new series of quesboards — Crafting Tutorial Questboards. These new questboards are located around the safezone of each nation, and provide special lower-tier (up to tier 3) crafting orders that award players with tokens that can be exchanged for crafting recipes. These questboards are a great way to level up your crafting skills and progress faster through the crafting profession levels.
New Horse Skins
We are introducing three new skins for horses this week. Be sure to check them out in game, and ride to battle with style!
Improvements in treasure hunting
We have taken our time to better show the places of buried treasures! From now, they will be showing not only marked by a quest marker but also have their own model! Grab a shovel, and go for some treasure hunting!

Quality of Life
- Faster fire extinguishing when a location is not sieged.
- Adjusted crafting professions for certain crafts
- Mount Skins have now a separate filter in the market
- Adjusted rewards for some events in the safezone
- Improved the search bar in the market window. From now on it will hint at the searched items’ names.
- Added a welcome page to the market.
- Removed the “Forestry and Farming” crafting profession. All the recipes have been added to other categories. The profession didn't offer a whole range of recipes making it extremely hard to grind up to level 100 without any real use case.
- Globally optimized the terrains of the game's world. This change should reduce the RAM/VRAM usage.
Fixes
- Fixed some graphical errors for rocks and cliffs.
- Fixed an issue causing workstations not to have a lootzone bonus after a server restart.
- Smoothed the increase in workstations’ temperature.
- Optimized the way the workstation manages its temperature level and the fuel it uses
- Fixed an issue causing the crafting quests not to be counted for the weekly rankings.
