• You can now quest with friends through Linked Quests! This is my first attempt at shared Quests, so it is not complete yet, but you can already try it and see what you think. • Linked Quests give you many options: timers, trackers, one-time Quests, repeating Quests and much more. • Before creating or accepting a Linked Quest, you can choose whether to share your username, level and avatar, and whether to share the Quest's title and instructions. No answer is chosen for you. Your personal answers stay on your phone. • The idea is to slowly start bringing multiplayer elements into Rysing, so you can expect more in the future. • From this update, Rysing connects to its own server so I can support current and future online features. This is the first step toward a living, immersive world where you can see other adventurers and, in the future, interact with them. • World Presence shows, anonymously, other adventurers in the same place as you. • The World tab and Linked Quests need Sign in with Apple, and the World tab asks you to sign in once. Quests, Journal and Character keep working without signing in. • A Main Story view in the World shows what comes next and what stands in the way, so it is easier to follow the main quest line and to know how to start it. • Vows are now called Quests everywhere. After consideration, this felt like the better name. • All art is redrawn in a new, simpler style: characters, places, Keepsakes and Achievements.

• The Shared Table adds a new Hearthgate Campaign where you help Bram and Tobin prepare a meal for the town. • Official Vows, Requests, Campaigns, and World moments can now show an anonymous count of recent engagement by other players. • The Campaign Log now shows active timed work with time remaining and overtime progress. • You can now abandon an active Campaign directly from the Campaign Log. • Real-life voucher rewards now stay available before the Bag unlocks and do not add to your inventory burden. • Travel progress subtitles now show the correct target and unit in every supported language. • Character avatars now keep their immersive class artwork when you return Home or change settings.
