We’ve also added something that has been in our backlog for a while: a new

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.

R48 Patch Notes

 New Content Improved the  Redeeming Queue so items recovered from expired plots can now be reclaimed from any zone within the same world , with Lyone...

Since the release of Pax Dei 1.0, we’ve continued to improve the game with new features, balancing changes, quality-of-life updates, and new reasons to explore the world.

If you are discovering Pax Dei for the first time, there is now a smoother path into the world, especially with the Achievement system, which can help guide your first steps and introduce you to core activities.

If you are returning, there are more goals to pursue, more systems to explore, and more reasons to gather your friends and see what has changed.

Since 1.0, Pax Dei has not only grown in content. It has become easier to approach, more rewarding to play, and more alive when shared with others.

Starting and day-to-day play are smoother

Many updates since 1.0 have focused on reducing friction and making regular play feel better, especially for players starting fresh or coming back after a break.

Achievements help guide your first steps and give long-term goals. 
The Achievement system adds almost 300 achievements, 

with milestones, rewards, and objectives for both new and experienced players. For newcomers, it can act as a light guide through the first steps of Pax Dei, helping introduce gathering, crafting, building, combat, exploration, and other core activities. For returning and elder players, it adds new objectives to pursue and new rewards to claim without replacing the freedom of the sandbox.

Crafting progression is more flexible in key professions.


XP curves and crafting XP rewards have been adjusted for Blacksmithing, Weaponsmithing, Armorsmithing, Tailoring, and Leatherworking, so players can choose what to craft based on usefulness or preference rather than feeling forced into a narrow set of “XP-optimal” items. Material recovery on failed crafts has also been improved, especially for lower-tier recipes, making experimentation less frustrating.

Inventory, crafting, and item management are easier.


Increased stack sizes, Quick Stack, Take All for containers and crafters, Craft All for processing crafters, better recipe sorting, and various UI improvements all help reduce the time spent managing items and menus.

Resources, maps, and UI are easier to read and use.


Many resources have been made larger or visually clearer, making them easier to detect in the world. The map has also been significantly improved, with better zoom-in and zoom-out, marker filters, and biome legend/key improvements. Clearer notifications, scalable UI options, better tooltips, and many smaller fixes make the game easier to read, navigate, and understand.

Playing with others has more tools and more personality

Pax Dei is at its best when players cooperate, trade, compete, and create stories together. Several updates have strengthened the tools and systems that support that.

Province-wide chat, better chat readability, improved notifications, unread counters, grouped messages, and login notifications make it easier to communicate and stay connected with other players. The clan menu and character stats sheet have also been improved, making it easier to understand your character and manage clan-related information.

Clan permissions have started to improve.


The Homesteader rank and the new Villager & Up permission level are the first step toward more flexible clan management, making it safer to welcome new or returning players into shared spaces.

Players can now challenge each other to consensual duels. This is a major addition for training, testing builds, friendly rivalries, clan events, and learning combat without the risks of open PvP.

Characters have more personality and presentation options.


New emotes and facial expressions have been added to the emote menu, giving players more ways to express themselves, roleplay, celebrate, tease, greet, or simply bring more life to social moments. Sheathed weapons are now visible, and the Hide Helmet option gives players more control over their appearance while adventuring and socializing.

The world has more depth, purpose, and polish

Pax Dei has also gained more activities, more visual polish, more atmosphere, and more reasons to explore, fight, craft, and build.

Dungeons and enemy behavior are more reliable.


Aggro behavior and dungeon encounters have received several fixes and balancing changes, making PvE more reliable and more readable. Enemies should behave more consistently, and several dungeon population and spawn issues have been addressed, helping group content feel better to run.

Archery, Fletching, and bird hunting have expanded.


Bow handling has been improved, and archery has been expanded with Fletching changes, new bow progression, rebalanced arrows, a new set of Recurve Bows, and archery targets for practice or competitions. Birds have also been added across the world, giving players new creatures to hunt, new resources to gather, and more life and movement in the landscape.

Master Crafting gives exceptional items and crafters more value.


When you achieve a very high success on a craft for an item with Item Power, the item can gain a permanent Item Power boost, and your name is recorded as its master crafter. This gives skilled crafters a new way to create standout items and leave their mark on the world.

Lyonesse now gives clans meaningful PvP objectives.


The open PvP region now has clearer objectives through Mournel trees and Feudal Shrines. These systems give clans reasons to contest resources, claim territory, and establish a lasting presence in the region. Clans can claim and upgrade shrine sites, place Feudal plots, manage upkeep, and use claimed shrines as strategic locations.

Since 1.0, dozens of new decorations and building pieces have been added, including furniture, tableware, candleholders, rugs, statues, benches, hedges, trellises, animal trophies, new climbing plant patches, and more. These additions give players more ways to personalize homes, villages, gardens, halls, and social spaces.

The world looks better and performance continues to improve.


The skybox, clouds, and night sky have been drastically improved, while color balancing across the world has been updated to make environments feel more vivid, natural, and easier to read. The game has also been upgraded from Unreal Engine 5.4 to Unreal Engine 5.6, and we’ve continued profiling and addressing performance issues, with a particular focus on improving render performance during combat and making the game feel smoother in demanding situations.
