Beta
Beta 22.71
9/4 2024
[Additions and Changes]
- Multiple help topics have been added, and the explanation of operation keys has been improved.
- A snow toggle button has been added to the texture viewer.
- Influence will no longer be displayed in shops (since it affects the visual presentation). However, it can always be checked via the bottom bar.
- Windows for shops and crafting will no longer close when left-clicking outside the window (to prevent accidental closures).
- Pets' inventories can now be selected when using material conversion, appraisal, and other item selections.
- Added icons for Holy, Bleed, and Acid attributes.
- Bed information will be cleared when residents become livestock or leave the base.
[Fixes]
- Fixed an issue where the status of mounts and parasitic pets was not displayed on mouseover when holding Shift, even if there was a collectible object at their feet.
- Other minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]
- The fact that turns do not pass during fast travel is currently intended behavior.
- Loytel has Fiama's pet flag enabled.
- The Fragrance of Goddess grants the rights to a wish and is obtained when one is not already in possession.
- The ordinances such as "Breeding Season," "Milk Faction," "Egg Faction," and a few others are currently disabled from appearing.
Beta 22.70
9/1 2024
- A hint icon will now be displayed above NPCs when they have important conversation events, such as at game start.
- Cards will now display a number in the Card Encyclopedia.
- The search function now allows searching through the possessions of residents as well.
- Added a tutorial for Neln.
- Adjusted the categories in the in-game help menu and added several new help entries.
- The crafting and item management windows can now be closed with the Tab key or the inventory shortcut key.
- Adjusted the time it takes for bees to generate in the beehive (this does not affect honey production).
- Adjusted the properties of pears and apples (pears were still a copy of apples). Feedback on balance adjustments or new ingredients and recipes is always welcome.
- Residents who are set to not use shared equipment will no longer place surplus equipment in the shared container.
[Fixes]
- Various glitches with the possession search widget have been fixed.
- Other minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]
- The reason the game saves right before entering a new map, rather than immediately after, when using a Return Scroll, is to ensure safety. This is because various processes, such as simulating time passage and updating the map version, occur when entering a map. This may change in the future to save immediately after entering the map.
- "Ash" is the nickname for Ashland, and "Fia" is the nickname for Fiama.
- The zoom level of the game screen can be adjusted using the map tool next to the mini-map.
- The current pet upgrade system gives a 10% chance to gain a new feat, a 30% chance to gain a new skill, and a random increase of 2 to the primary attributes the rest of the time. If there aren’t enough points to gain a new feat or a skill, they will be saved until there are enough points.
Beta 22.69

When the product code is distributed, individual keys linked to each backer ID will be provided. If there are additional keys, they will be distributed accordingly.
- The wallpaper reward will be added after Early Access. The early DLC reward "Cursed Mansion" will become free content after a certain period following the start of Early Access.

- The ability to play panties is currently intentional.
- The smell trait of rotten food will be reduced when it turns into cheese, which will always have the [Stinky] trait. This is currently intentional.
- The fixed recipes for BBQ tables and cooking appliances are undecided at this time.
- The usefulness and strength of attributes (such as fire, cold, chaos, etc.) vary to some extent by design, and this balance is expected to remain until the main quest is cleared. However, adjustments are planned for the late game, where high-level attribute attacks exceeding a certain power level will trigger upper-level effects. These upper-level effects will vary by attribute, such as adding status effects, piercing attribute resistance by a percentage, and other balance adjustments, especially for attributes that are currently weak or difficult to use.
Beta 22.67

Beta 22.66
8/17 2024
Significant changes have been made to the crafting system. For full details on all changes, please refer to the previous Nightly update notes.

[Additions and Changes]

8/15 2024

A quality bonus occurs based on the livestock's level, and a quantity bonus occurs depending on the length of time the wool is grown. (Quantity and quality are planned to be adjusted in the future.)
Hotfix 1
- Fixed a bug where certain enchantments were displayed twice in item tooltips.

- If I recall correctly, items that start off rotten do not turn into fertilizer even when placed in the fertilizer box.
- With the ability to inherit properties on processed items, some items may be able to inherit different properties by repeating the processing steps. If any unusual behavior is observed, reports would be appreciated.
- Crop enhancement levels will be reduced to 1/10, but the effect and value increase per enhancement level is multiplied by 10. Feedback on this would be appreciated.
Hotfix 1
In previous versions, the enchantments and traits granted by materials were stored as actual values on individual items. However, starting from this version, they are no longer included in the save data. While the effects of materials in the game remain unchanged, all items generated in previous versions will now have doubled enchantments—one from the saved item data and another temporarily applied by the material.
[Additions and Changes]

- Various minor fixes and adjustments.
Beta 22.61 (Nightly)
8/10 2024
In this Nightly build, there have been significant changes to the crafting system and its surrounding mechanics. These changes are expected to have a major impact on game balance, but rather than focusing on adjusting the current balance, the modifications are made with a long-term perspective, considering future development in terms of scalability and the overall direction of the game. Some parts are yet to be implemented, but the main changes can be summarized as follows:
- Traits like "Sweet," which were previously seen only on food items, will now be applied to regular items as well. Additionally, the traditional quality rating will be converted into a quality bonus trait.
- The base quality will no longer change through crafting or farming. If a quality bonus trait is present, the base quality will increase proportionally.
- The impact of quality on item prices and effects will be reduced. Instead, new traits such as value traits and recovery traits will be introduced in the future.
- When crafting, if multiple materials have the same trait, traits marked with a "+" (mainly food-related traits) will have all instances of that trait added together, while for other traits, only the highest value will be inherited.
The following are additional changes:
[Additions and Changes]
- Modifications to the crafting system.
- More detailed information about crafted items will now be displayed in the crafting screen. Additionally, the quality display in the crafting screen has been removed.
- Food traits will now display up to five slots, excluding fixed slots, and will be shown with a "+" symbol in the crafting screen. Traits with higher effects will be displayed first, and only the displayed traits will have an effect when consumed.
- Nutrition information will now be displayed in tooltips for food items.
- The probability of production-related skills appearing as random enchants on equipment has been reduced (on a trial basis).
- Item levels will no longer affect item prices (enhancement levels like +1 will continue to increase prices as before).
- Pressing the x key while hovering over an item will display detailed information, including traits.
- Added the "Healing" trait to cotton.
- Reduced the probability of furniture having enhancement levels applied.
[Fixes]
- Fixed a glitch where the resize icon would appear on the background window when moving the mouse.
- Other minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]
- Traits that count towards the five slots for food traits, excluding special traits like collagen, are those that provide positive experience points to abilities and potential abilities. Negative traits are always treated as separate slots.
- Existing seeds will receive a quality bonus according to their enhancement level once they have been grown. Apologies for the inconvenience, but please grow the seeds. Traits on cotton are inherent to the material itself and will not appear on seeds, but the enhancement level will be applied upon harvest.
- While nutrition is now displayed, there are no changes to the mechanics of eating. Nutrition = the amount of fullness restored, and it also serves as a multiplier for the experience points added to abilities and potential abilities. For example, a food item with 20 nutrition will restore twice as much fullness and grant twice as many experience points as a food item with 10 nutrition.
- The item level and base quality of equipment will now be fixed, regardless of the level of the dungeon (Nephia) they are found in. However, since the performance of equipment has always been determined by the content level at the time of generation, rather than the item level or quality, this change will not affect the performance of generated equipment. However, the reduced item level will result in lower sale prices for high-level equipment.
- Due to the changes in the crafting system, there may be unintended behaviors or imbalances. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Beta 22.60
8/5 2024
- When items are made lighter with scrolls of feather, accuracy (or DV for armor) will increase. When items are made heavier, accuracy (DV) will decrease.
- Critical hit determination will occur after the hit check.
- The hometown discount will not affect the selling price of items sold by the player.
- Reduced the rate of damage increase for landmines based on danger level.
- Rest shrines will also cleanse curses and debuffs.

- Replica equipment will be labeled as such even when unidentified. Shops that use currencies other than Orens will always sell non-artifact items in an identified state.
- If crops from harvest quests are taken away or offered at altars, karma will decrease.
- Changed the total assets field on the character sheet to elapsed time.
- Adjusted rewards for high-level bounty quests.
- Set a limit on the speed adjustment provided by the Ether Hoof.
[Fixes]
- Fixed an issue where the content level of random treasure chests generated in Nefia was not dependent on the dungeon floor.
- Fixed a rare issue where minions would attack allies right after loading a save.
- Fixed the Kizuami feat, which was not functioning correctly following the last update.
- Fixed an issue where the frontline command feat was being counted as a single bonus even when multiple allies had it.
- Various minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]
- There are still substantial improvements we want to implement for crafting and containers in the beta phase. We are currently evaluating and testing ideas.
Beta 22.59

- The lock level for treasure chests will gradually decrease in its rate of increase after level 50.
[Fixes]
- Fixed an issue where using a rush enchantment to attack distant enemies would cause reflection damage to be received.
- Various minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]
- Regarding the tax balance adjustment, the fame cap is expected to occur around the 50th floor in the beta, and the balance is designed to be roughly break-even with museum + inn fees + guild salaries.
- The attribute given to hatched pets in the previous update is an "element" such as a fire hound or an ice hound, not a bonus to attributes. Bonuses to attributes are planned to be increased by feeding milk and imprinting during the baby period.
- Marriage will be possible in the future, although it might be introduced post-beta.
Beta 22.58
7/30 2024
[Additions and Changes]

- Corrected a bug where regions that couldn't be changed via keyboard shortcuts could still be altered in the region selection options.
- Fixed the faction-wide enchant for vitality multiplier not functioning.
- Other minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]
- The shrine for armor enhancement exists because the number of armor pieces is higher compared to weapons (weapon enhancement).
- Regarding the blessed equipment of the gods, the aim is not to achieve perfect balance for each individual piece. The balance of the gods is considered as a whole, including factors such as apostles and primary blessings. We appreciate your understanding as we consider feedback and make adjustments over a long period. Feedback on which gods are strong or weak is always welcome.

The Magic Control check is now calculated with the coefficient x increased from 5 to 10, meaning the check succeeds if skill level * x > rnd(damage), resulting in complete evasion of the attack, and if it fails, it results in damage reduction.

[Additions and Changes]
- (Backer Wish) Added "Eureka, Firebrand of Strife"
- Changed the effect of the feat "Frontline Command" for Yevan's apostles from a fixed stat increase to a percentage increase (up to 30%) based on the number of enemies. The percentage increase is higher the more allies with the "Frontline Command" feat are present.
- Display faction-wide enchants on character sheets and such. Also, display the names of faction-wide enchants and faith bonuses in a different color.

- Added the "Drill" enchant that allows weapons to attack all enemies in their path, piercing through them.
- Implemented Lulwy's second blessing.
[Fixes]
- Fixed a bug where watering could be performed on distant tiles if interrupted by status effects.
- Fixed a bug where priority settings for some shared containers did not work after adding advanced sorting settings in a previous version.
- Fixed the issue where witness checks were entirely disabled while invisible (the intended specification is to add a bonus to witness checks, not complete immunity).

- Other minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]

- Fixed an issue where item icons for category-specific materials were incorrect in the processing equipment information window.
- Other minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]
- The phenomenon of the PC holding mysterious food is due to pets eating while mounted or parasitized, making it appear as if the PC has the pet’s food.
- Regarding wish spellbooks, scrolls, and staves, only items that exist can currently be wished for. For example, a minor healing staff cannot be wished for because it is not an item with that name but a staff with a minor healing effect, so it is currently not wishable.

Beta 22.45
7/3 2024
[Additions and Changes]

- Overall reduction in the number of traps in dungeons.

- Items such as generators that require more than 20 times the usual number of furniture tickets are essentially not intended to be collected through furniture tickets. Most are planned to involve future quests or crafting using new materials.

[Notes]
- Vitality, mana, and speed will only increase through racial base values, equipment, and feats in Elin, with no increase from experience.
- The main balance adjustments in the β version target levels equivalent to a danger level of up to about 25 floors. Balancing at higher levels, both in combat and production, is provisional (though some adjustments will be ongoing). Generally, we aim for levels above danger level 40 to be quite challenging even for well-prepared players. This is because future updates will greatly empower players through quest rewards, companion enhancement features, equipment strengthening functions, and more.
- Pet enhancement via Backer Wishes is planned and may be introduced during the β period. This likely involves using feat points to teach or enhance skills and feats for pets. This relates to the egg hatching function, envisioning that long-raised pets will ultimately become stronger than high-level monsters captured later.

- Only perishable items will be sorted into coolers and refrigerators.
- If a roof appears in a fenced area, you can change it to no roof from the house board. Additionally, if there are multiple rooms inside the house, you can change the room groups with the room board and set different roofs for each group by placing house boards for each. All fixed maps are built using the in-game build mode, so refer to the buildings in fixed maps to see what kind of constructions are possible.
- Harvested crops from auto-farming will be stacked beyond the enchant level stack tolerance to avoid scattering. (In such cases, the enchant level will be changed to the average value of the stacked items.)
- Due to the structure of Elin's item categorization, the tree format allocation can be a bit cumbersome (some items are set to the parent category itself, making it impossible to toggle on/off all the child categories at once). However, improvements are planned if possible.

- Fixed a bug where some stores were selling too many seasonings.
- This should technically be a HotFix, but the version is updated due to necessary translation updates.
In Auto-Farming, adjacent crops of the same type gradually become uniform in variety and quality to prevent the harvested products from being mixed. If you wish to avoid this, try planting crops one space apart or intersperse them with different types of crops. In future updates, I may adjust this so that the uniformity of varieties (enchants) only occurs when the seeds are at level 1.

- Outdoor map content levels will be calculated based on the distance from the "starting base" at the beginning of the game, rather than the distance from roads and the player's "current base."

The blessings of the gods will now also apply to all NPCs, which might result in unexpected bugs (such as Mani's mechanical dominance). Therefore, this release will be in the Nightly version. The Nightly version is a test development build, which can be changed by right-clicking Elin in the Steam library and selecting "Beta > Participate in Beta." Please make sure to back up your game before playing in the Nightly version.

Please note that Elin's beta is not the final version of Elin's beta, but rather a beta of early access version of Elin. Early access refers to a game that is playable to some extent but still under development, and Elin is planned to be in early access for several years.
- It is normal for some files to be reacquired during Steam's game file integrity check. This is likely because some dynamically changing configuration files are included in the execution folder.

[Note]
Regarding the changes to Ether Disease yesterday, it has been confirmed that curing Ether Disease, which had already manifested in previous versions, would be based on the effects of the new Ether Disease. For example, if the old Ether Disease reduced magic by -15, curing it would only restore the -4 from the new Ether Disease effect, resulting in a discrepancy of -11. Unfortunately, it is difficult to fully correct this issue, so a "Fix_EtherDisease" command has been added to the console.
If you experience the above symptoms, open "System Menu > Others > Console" and enter "Fix_EtherDisease". This will cure all current Ether Diseases, and if your status is below the initial value, it will be restored to the initial value +1. If there is still a significant difference from the original status, please adjust it using SetElement in the console, or contact me via Discord or the feedback section. I apologize for the inconvenience.

As I mentioned in the previous note, we are planning to hold the beta on Friday, June 7th. Here are the elements I hope to introduce by then. The % adjustment for Ether Disease is something I've wanted to implement for a long time, but it has been postponed due to programming complications with Elin.

- Fixed a bug where farmers could craft shipment boxes.
- Fixed a bug where the current Nefia would be deleted upon moving to a different floor when its time limit expires. The intended behavior is that the Nefia should not be deleted while inside it, even if the time limit has passed.

[Notes]
- The plan is to ease the difficulty of the very beginning stages by the beta release. Rather than just adjusting numbers, we are considering introducing features or items that make the game more enjoyable (feel free to share any good ideas you might have).
- As for guild quests and rewards, they are currently treated as passive quests and rewards in Elin, resembling daily quests that are completed without active effort. When higher ranks are unlocked and players can exclusively advance within specific guilds, more interesting features might be possible. However, since there are multiple guilds and a lot of content, this will likely be delayed due to the current individual development situation.
- Regarding the War-Torn Ivan, faith can be placed in it, but its implementation is not yet complete. Full implementation is planned within a few days.

Pre-Beta 22.4
5/26 2024
[Additions and Changes]

Pre-Beta 22.3
5/25 2024
The first public build of the pre-β phase is now available. Those participating in the α test can update the game via Steam.

[Notes]
- Please expect a fair number of bugs from the past two months. Please report any issues using the bug report form.
- Balancing has been adjusted, with a gentler HP growth compared to the α phase. The mid-game might feel tougher as a result. This is intentional, as more powerful artifacts, enhancement items, feats, and features will be introduced later. For now, the difficulty is set to be more challenging.
- To display damage as numbers, change "showNumbers" to true in config.txt. Note that this setting cannot be changed in-game since mid-α.

[Fixes]
- Other minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]

- The general distribution of beta keys is planned for early June. This is to ensure that major bugs and balance issues are fixed before those playing Elin for the first time can play the game, as their fresh feedback are important and I want them to be not distracted by bugs or balance issues..
Pre-Beta 22.1
5/23 2024
[Additions and Changes]
- Adjusted the amount required for investments. The higher the investment level, the higher the required amount.

[Fixes]

- Mods from the alpha version will not be compatible with the beta version. Starting from the beta, please add a <version></version> tag in the package.xml of the Mod and specify the version in which the Mod's operation is confirmed. Documentation for this will be provided in the future.
- Save data compatibility will be maintained as much as possible from the beta onwards; however, there might be instances where compatibility is lost due to specification changes. Additionally, since the game is still in development, items that are intended to be quest rewards, such as Moon Gates and Stargazer's Moon Gates, might be obtainable through unintended means before the quests are introduced. Your understanding is appreciated.
- Due to the short update intervals of the game, Chinese translations are currently lagging by several versions. Options such as releasing the Chinese version on a separate branch are being considered for the future.

Pre-Beta 21.10
5/20 2024
[Additions and Changes]
- Guests at the home will now generate with pocket money. The amount will be influenced by their hobbies and jobs.
- Guests will go to sleep at bedtime. If they still have pocket money, they will pay for accommodation (based on the home’s tourism value) and use guest beds.
- Tourism value will be set for homes and displayed in the home bulletin board tooltip.
- Items like taxidermy, statues, and cards will have a tourism tag. Placing items with tourism tags in the home will increase its tourism value.
- Income can be earned from guests based on the tourism value.
- If multiple items from the same species are placed in the home, they will not be counted towards tourism value (items of different types are okay).
- A sales tag tool has been added, allowing items in the home to be toggled as for sale.
- Guests will spend their pocket money to buy items. A sold-out sign will be displayed where purchased items were.
- If a spot or container in the spot contains items from the same category as the sold-out item, it will be restocked automatically.
- Guests with no remaining pocket money will leave the home.

- Some home skills are now non-upgradable, and some have an upgrade limit.
- Unique policies with very powerful effects that can only be enacted in one or a limited number of homes have been added.
- Introduction of tax-exempt zones. Income from non-tax-exempt land will be reduced by a certain percentage.
[Fixes]
- Various minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]
The concept of tax-exempt zones has been introduced. The initial land is tax-exempt from the start, and players can have two additional tax-exempt zones (currently). Income from non-tax-exempt land will be heavily taxed. This change is to prevent inflation from creating multiple profit-focused homes, especially with the introduction of home ranking rewards and tourism income. Many players may want to minimize home management to focus on adventuring, and the main Elin storyline envisions operating around 2-4 homes. In the future, it might be possible to increase the number of tax-exempt zones by, for example, paying an additional 10,000 Oren monthly tax per zone (assuming each developed home generates more than this amount per month).
Pre-Beta 21.9
5/19 2024
[Additions and Changes]

- The home bulletin board will display the content level of the home.
- Added multiple land feats.
- Added the "Attractiveness" home skill, which affects shipment values and tourism revenue (this skill cannot be manually upgraded and is currently assigned to coastal and snowy lands).
- When the fishing skill is high, or under the effects of certain land feats, it will be possible to catch multiple fish at once. Catching multiple fish will consume stamina for each fish caught.
- There is a very low chance of catching a statue while fishing.
- Enhanced fishing behavior and effects (added random waiting time before catching fish, randomized time to reel in the fish after a hit, etc.).
[Fixes]
- Various minor fixes and adjustments.
[Notes]
- Currently, some land feats, such as specialty products, do not have any specific meaning. These will be adjusted during the beta test along with several policies that are yet to be implemented.

- When on obtainable land, the land traits set for that land will be displayed next to the map name. They can also be checked from the "Locations" section of the journal.
- The benefits from leveling up the Hearth Stone will change according to the land traits.
- Additional land traits will be unlocked by leveling up the Hearth Stone.
- Tax amounts will be calculated based on (a small fixed amount + adjustment for notoriety + adjustment for elapsed months + adjustments for special adventurer licenses and other optional features + additional taxes).
- Resident taxes, ranking rewards, and (guild, etc.) salaries from each home will be consolidated into a single package and mailed monthly to the player's current home.
- Players can make additional tax payments to Mysilia through the home maid or the secretary in Mysilia territory. Return gifts from Mysilia will be given only when additional taxes are paid.

[Fixes]
- Fixed a glitch where the item guide display would be misaligned when trying to place items on furniture that has had its height altered.

[Additions and Changes]
- Introduction of Home Town Rankings, setting zone values for rankings in each zone.
