Sands of Salzaar update for 20 December 2021

Hi Travelers,

Hope you had a great weekend in the Desert of Salzaar! Based on all your precious feedback and bug reports for V1.0, our dev team has been working on optimizing the build in the past few days and here comes the freshly released Update V1.0.0.3!

In this patch, the damage and HP of the BOSS Ifrit Lord has been reduced for better gameplay balance in terms of difficulty. Also, players no longer have to complete the Story Mode in order to unlock the Sandbox Mode. You are now able to freely explore the desert when launching the game even for the first time.

As for text UI, the issue of missing dialogs when learning Magics has been solved, and the devs will keep fixing Magic learning bugs for your heroes. Besides, the task of purchasing Ifrit Seared Beef becomes easier as now you can buy the item from Fleur and Mireton as well.

For more details about V1.0.0.3, check out the update log below:
