There are a few limitations to keep in mind:

Cleared Ground removes grass, but not bushes or small trees.

Some flower patches are technically classified as bushes and will therefore remain unaffected.

Due to technical limitations, grass removal is only partial on slopes.

Our progressive UI revamp continues with a refreshed 

You can now consume food or potions again when their remaining buff duration reaches

Consumed food effects displayed in the HUD now also have a mouseover tooltip showing their effects and remaining duration.

Beneficial effects from players outside a Duel — including heals, shields, buffs, and cleanses — no longer affect the duelists, keeping Duels self-contained.

70 in-game Achievements are now available as Steam Achievements.

Xbox / Microsoft Store players can now purchase 

Improved locomotion on player-made buildings.

Dungeon names and their related Achievements are now localized.

Several bird species have been added across the different biomes of Pax Dei: Grouses, Ptarmigans, Pheasants, Geese, Vultures, and Eagles.

Birds roam on the ground and react to nearby players. When disturbed, they will take flight.

They can be hunted both on the ground and in the air, though they are especially challenging to hunt without a bow.

Birds provide feathers, which are used in Fletching for advanced arrow crafting.

Added a new family of Recurve Bows, ranging from Tier 2 to Tier 4.

Recurve Bows provide increased accuracy, faster arrow speed, and more serious damage, but have slower draw and reload times than standard bows.

Higher-tier bows now also provide improved accuracy and faster draw and reload times.

All existing bows have received updated visual models, with color variations for attuned and warded versions.

The former Curved Bow has been renamed Woodrunner Bow to align with its new model and clearly differentiate it from the Recurve series.

This release adds new ground-standing and wall-mounted archery targets.

When hit by nearby players, the target announces the hit accuracy, allowing you to practice your aim or organize archery competitions.

: When entering the game, you will likely receive a large number of Achievement notifications. You can silence them by pressing N.

The game now features an Achievement system, with content designed both to guide new players through the game and to offer harder-to-complete goals for elder players.

Achievements are shared across your account by Region (US, EU, SEA). This means that if one of your characters on an EU world completes an Achievement, all your other EU characters will also have it, but your characters in the US or SEA region will not.

This release includes almost 300 Achievements. Some are very easy to attain, while others are extremely hard.

The game HUD now includes a milestone tracker showing the Achievements you are currently working toward.

Achievements can be manually added to the tracker, but the auto-tracked new player experience achievements take priority.

Each Achievement grants a reward when completed.

Achievements that track skill level requirements will unlock retroactively for players who have already reached the required skill level. All other Achievements require you to complete the associated task after the system is live.

Achievements that require a PvE kill work similarly to XP grants: everyone in the party of the player who kills the enemy will count as having killed that enemy for Achievement tracking purposes.

We've been working for a long time on revamping the underlying permission system in Pax Dei, and this release includes the first changes from that work.

Clans now have a new Homesteader membership rank for new clan members.

In permissions, you can now set the required access permission to Villager & Up, locking Homesteaders out.

For plots, even if a plot has been shared with a Clan, Homesteaders cannot destroy building pieces placed more than 36 hours ago.

There is one exception: if the piece is a prop (a furnishing piece), such as a chest, placed by the Homesteader themselves, they can destroy it, as it is their own prop.

This restriction does not apply to plots set to Public or to plots owned by the Homesteader themselves.

A future version of the game will improve this mechanic and give you more granular control over destruction permissions.

We will continue to roll out additional permissions improvements in future releases.

The game now features a Province-wide chat channel, allowing you to chat across Home Valleys.
