Elin meta:Beta 21.2 (en)
[Additions and Changes]
- Added the feature for "Important Items" such as always-on effect items and quest items (similar to Quest Items in Elona). Added a section for "Important Items" in the journal.
- Effects of important items that are active by possession will now be specified.
- Wishes at wells now require "Goddess's Faint Scent" (an important item). The power of well wishes depends on the number of "Black Cat's Drool" (an important item).
- Added portraits and pixel art for each guild master, along with unique dialogue.
- Rare crafting materials are now clearly noted in item details.
- Added multiple shrines.
- Bosses in locations like Nefia will now be strictly drawn from creatures matching the map's level range.
- Expanded the "Factions" section in the journal and the information related to guild quests. Updated the quest details UI to support scrolling.
- Introduced guild contribution points and ranks, along with salaries. Players can rank up by talking to the receptionist when the contribution meter is full (currently up to Journeyman).
- Various perks will unlock as guild ranks increase.

- Certain skills can only be trained or learned within guilds.
- Some guild services will not be available until reaching specific ranks.

- Little Sister's eggs will not carry Adam's food enchantments.

[Fixes]
- Various minor adjustments and corrections.
[Notes]
- Illustrations from the Backer's Wish and other rough sketches and illustrations created during the alpha will be added to the gallery, which I plan to update regularly.
- The guilds were initially considered a request-based system, but were introduced passive quests similar to those in Elona. Guild membership can be held concurrently, with promotions up to rank 5 (Journeyman) possible in any guild without restrictions.
