The Sharpen Your Skills Update was a huge step forward not only in functionality, but also as a platform for what will be possible in Dauntless. The 0.3.1 patch addresses community feedback and introduces additional content to help improve the Slayer hunt experience.

Airship Ready Rooms

Top Slayers know that coordinating the right tools for the job only makes a difference when it complements their hunting party! To make this a smooth process and enhance the matchmaking experience, we are adding the Airship Ready Room. This new lobby system will allow Slayers to form strategies, tailor complementing loadouts, and lay out tactics before the hunt.

Expect to encounter more than a few bugs with this first iteration — and let us know about it in your feedback.

Private Hunts

Sometimes three or four is a crowd and you’d rather hunt invite-only. And, while the life of a lone wolf is often short in the Shattered Isles, it doesn’t stop some Slayers from going ronin. To accommodate different social situations, we are introducing a private hunt system. This will allow for both solo hunting and for dedicated two, three or four person hunts. This system is in its early stages, so for now you’ll need to party up before embarking on a private hunt. Let us know what you think!

Weapon Crafting++

The thrill of forging a new weapon — What could be better? Per player feedback, we’re adjusting and increasing Slayer weapon damage to make each weapon upgrade tier feel more impactful.

Yonder Keys

Slayers let us know that the transition into the Yonder Keys was a bit of a brick wall. Getting one-hit on your first hunt never feels good! We are tuning Behemoth damage against different armour tiers. This should reducing daunting by 234% and improve being Dauntless across the board.

Hammer Boops

If the hammer’s good at one thing, it’s acting like a rocket sled as you jump off of a cliff. If it’s good at two things, it’s rocket sledding and interrupting Behemoth attacks. Per player feedback, we are increasing the speed of the hammer secondary attack from stationary for greater interrupt utility. Let us know what you think!

Archonite Requirements

Archonite became a vital resources with Sharpen Your Skills. We heard from players that Archonite requirements for crafting gear needed another look. This change will allow slayers to more quickly craft and upgrade gear

Graceflowers

You should stop and smell the flowers. But not… this much. We’re increasing the number of Graceflowers that will spawn and making them less hard to find.

Titles

Granted Founders Pack titles for anyone who may not have had them returned after the recent wipe.

Fixed a bug that caused daily hunts to disappear when failed. They will now only disappear once they are successfully completed.

Fixed bugs that caused resolution to scale improperly when switching from fullscreen to windowed.

Fixed a bug wherein Skraev and Kharabak’s armour recipes had incorrect requirements.
