Behind the guides

Useful advice needs a source.

Early Access · 0.12.1 source baseline. Research reviewed September 12, 2026. The September 15 launch remains upcoming.

What this edition covers

16 guides, seven starter recipes and a material planner cover gathering routes, early equipment, Dragon Slayer, Withering Heights, wider quest progression, travel, health and version changes.

How we check it

Developer notes take priority for changed mechanics. Community databases provide recipe references; reporting helps establish practical routes. Recommendations about trip planning are Kingy’s editorial advice. We have not play-tested these guides or extracted data from an installed build.

Some searchable databases retain historical items. Their presence does not override an official removal notice. This is why the healing guide follows the developer’s rework rather than old Wardstone recipes.

What still needs work

Complete walkthroughs for the later chapters, every item and creature, measured resource respawn times, tested maps, endgame builds and 1.0 coverage still need work. The later story overview names objectives without claiming complete dungeon, shard or boss coverage.

Keeping the guides current

Each section identifies its sources so a changed recipe or patch can be traced to affected pages. This edition has no automatic publishing job enabled. The next content review is needed when 1.0 releases; dates change only after the relevant page has been checked.
