🎮 Elevate Your Gaming Experience

As we approach the highly-anticipated full launch of Estfor Kingdom, we are thrilled to present our latest and last update for the open beta before the full launch. Our development team has been hard at work, meticulously crafting improvements and fixes to make your gaming journey even more extraordinary. Get ready to delve into the immersive world of Estfor Kingdom like never before!

The open beta once the full game is launched will become the EPS — Estfor Public Sandbox version of the game. The EPS will continue to run indefinitely and players can continue with their beta accounts on the EPS and keep their items. This will be where we add new features, test new skills, and balance the game before they enter the full version.

So what's new I hear you cry.

Improved Journal: Your adventure’s documentation has received a major upgrade! We’ve combined duplicate item IDs, allowing for smooth navigation through unlimited items on each row. Toggle the display of player stats for a more spacious journal. Experience better mobile design, eliminating the need for horizontal scrolling. We’ve ditched the fixed table height in favor of using the main window scroll, offering seamless exploration. Gained XP is now visible on all rows, and we’ve added a separate row for consumed boosts. The latest data will be loaded upon opening the journal, eliminating the need for manual refreshing. Discover the new donation events and enjoy item names on hover for desktop users.

Expanded Events in Journal: Keep track of every moment of your hero’s journey with an array of new events in the journal. From consuming boosts to thieving events, level-ups to donations, transfers, gifts, and more, every detail is meticulously recorded in an easy-to-view place.

Clan Journal: We haven’t forgotten our clans! Enjoy a dedicated journal on the clan page, capturing all the significant events that transpire within your clan. From item exchanges, role promotions, invites, join requests, clan edits, and more, every moment in your clan’s history is now documented.

Enhanced Action Queuing: We’ve optimized action queuing to avoid resending already started actions, reducing gas consumption and avoiding errors.

Aggressive Data Fetching: Experience a seamless journey with more aggressive fetching of the latest data after every on-chain interaction.

Bug Fixes and Improvements: We’ve fixed a bug where active boosts weren’t detected as completed, preventing potential failures in the next save. No more concerns about the same quest being accidentally selected twice, leading to failure. We’ve streamlined the transfer recipient selection process, making it even more convenient. Unlock tools, weapons, attire, and actions based on unclaimed XP, reducing transaction frequency. Selected actions are now tab-aware, ensuring a smoother mobile experience. Find a new transfer button on the load player card info tab, making interactions smoother and more accessible.

Enhanced UX: We’ve removed “Owned: xx” for locked item actions, enhancing visibility. Automatically scroll to the correct quest after navigating to the quest page. Enjoy progress bars and input items in the item detail dialog for more clarity. The loot dialog will now always open when pressing save, providing insight into pending loot.

User-friendly Features: Experience smoother selling with the total price now based on edited individual item quantities. Enjoy a more consistent experience with modals for buying, gifting, transferring, and depositing items. Gifting items to a Clan is now blocked if the clan bank is full. The address book now shows hero and clan names for easier selection.

New Additions: We’ve introduced exciting features like music track progress in app settings, enabling treasure donations and lottery with XP boost rewards, and a skill icon in the leaderboard header. The loot dialog now includes consumed boosts for better clarity.

Sorted Clan Member Table: Easily find top players in your clan with the new sorting by total player level in the clan member table.

As well as many many other smaller UI fixes and improvements thanks to our player's valuable feedback.

Donations & Lottery: You might be intrigued by the mention of donations and lotteries above, and we’re here to tell you all about this amazing new addition to Estfor Kingdom! Prepare for an extraordinary experience as you dive into the world of generosity and rewards.

Wishing Well: Now, players can contribute to the treasure pool that is used in the in-game shop, creating a sense of camaraderie and community in Estfor Kingdom 100% of the donations go to the treasure pool. As an added incentive, if a player donates above the minimum amount for the day, they will be rewarded with a fantastic 5% experience boost! But wait, there’s more — donors who exceed the minimum donation will also enter a thrilling draw. One lucky winner will receive an incredible 10% experience boost! It’s a chance to embrace the spirit of giving while reaping incredible rewards.

Global and Clan Donation Goals: Get ready for unprecedented excitement as we introduce global and clan donation goals. Once these goals are reached, they trigger a series of spectacular events. For every global goal achieved, a magnificent boost is added to the entire Estfor Kingdom player base. Here are some examples of global boosts that can be unlocked:

🧙 Pray to the Beardie: Grants +10% to all XP gained for 5 days.
🗡️ Pray to the Beardie 2: Provides +10% to all combat XP gained for 5 days.
📚 Pray to the Beardie 3: Bestows +10% to all non-combat skills XP gained for 5 days.

But that’s not all! Clan donation goals have their own set of exciting boosts. When the clan goal is reached, these boosts apply specifically to your clan members, further enhancing the camaraderie within your community. Here are some examples of clan boosts:

🔥 Clan Booster: Empowers +10% to all XP gained for 3 days.
