- Alpha 18.4.5 - 31 March 2022
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team! As we continue working on improving the game, we’ve got enough new features (as well as bugfixes) to bring you this update. We hope that you like it! Panic Volley. A new ability for the fleeing mobs such as Shroomy and Watermello. If panicked, they start shooting projectile attacks in all directions. If such attacks hit the player, they deal a bit of damage + a debuff (such as Slow). If such an attack hits their summoned allies, it grants them a Shield effect; Bow Stab. Now archers will be able to deal with enemies that come too close! Punching with your bow deals a bit of damage, and pushes the enemy away, allowing you to maintain a safe distance. For now, this ability has replaced the arrow shot, as we are implementing new arrow choosing mechanics into the game for the next update, which will be released with the fixed bow shooting mechanics…
- Incoming: More immersive world, Adventure Journal and more! - 16 November 2021
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team! It’s been an important year for Elteria Adventures so far. The game had switched from semi-realistic to cubic environments with more emphasis on Sandbox gameplay in May, and we’ve collected your feedback through the entire June. After that, we started implementing it into the game in a massive overhaul in order to make Elteria Adventures even better than before, the first results of which you are currently able to see on our alpha servers. Of course, this is only the beginning — after implementing a completely new worlds system, we are currently working on the main gameplay features that are going to take place in these worlds, which will likely take us the rest of 2021. This work can be separated into four big parts: We are currently working on both improving the visuals of Elteria, and making it more immersive. And in order to do that we are…

- Megapatch 18.0.1 - 30 September 2021
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team! The 18.0.1 Megapatch is finally here! So, without further ado, let’s check what it has for you in store! GAMEPLAY AND THE WORLD: New system of Elteria’s outer worlds: rather than one big interconnected map, there are many different worlds differentiated by tiers, each with its own lifespan and autoreset timers. New, separate PvP world, for all your PvP needs! You can find it among the Tier 2 worlds! Overhauled penalties for death. Now if you die, you drop a chest containing a random set of items from your inventory (with some exceptions). The chest disappears after 10 minutes, and can be only looted by you in the first 5 minutes, and by any player at all in the remaining 5 minutes. Major reworks of the crafting system, including reworked recipes, drops, new crafting stages, etc, in order to make crafting more natural and engaging! Moreover, al…

- Elterian Co-Op: playing together! - 4 June 2021
Having your own private archipelago is great! What private archipelago? The one you’re starting your game at! Sure, it takes some time to build a portal to the Main World, but you can always come back to your own safe haven to work on your personal building and crafting projects uninterrupted! And moreover, your private archipelago does not regenerate any changes you have implemented, also allowing you for limitless terramorphing possibilities! Ah, but you don’t HAVE to be alone here. You can invite your friends over to build and terramorph together! Or you can visit their own private archipelagos, or form a party and go to the Main World to challenge its harsher biomes for blocks and materials, that’s also an option! So, how do you invite someone over? Inviting someone over: Open your Friend List (press V) Type the name of your friend, send the friendship request. Once your request is…

- Open Playtest early details: the world of Elteria - 21 May 2021
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team! As we work on the upcoming Open Playtest for the new, improved and cubic world of Elteria Adventures, we thought that it might be a good idea to tell you more about what we’re working on. And today, we’ll talk more in-depth about the changes to the world of Elteria itself. Improved architecture With the entire world becoming more blocky, we were able to drastically improve its looks in terms of performance and variety. The simplified shapes allowed us to finally fix the bugs that allowed the camera to look beneath the world’s surface through the unpredictably placed seams in the textures AND to introduce more distinct and varied shapes of natural architecture. The improved and downscaled cubes also mean that you can mimic natural environments with your own tools, and have even more control over what you can build! Slow Main World regeneration…
- Incoming: New Game World Open Playtest - 23 April 2021
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team! The world of Elteria will go cubical even sooner than expected. After seeing the sheer amount of interest in the closed playtest, we have decided that it might be better to go for a key-free open playtest instead. As such, this implies a few things: The next Elteria Adventures update (ETA end of May, we’ll keep you updated) will introduce the New Game World, with a reworked gameplay, cubes, mechanics and many, many other new, exciting updates and upgrades! Since the old characters’ progression is incompatible with this update, everyone will have to start from scratch following a progression reset. If you want to play through the current questlines, make some screenshots with your friends and challenge all those monsters and bosses as they currently are, you still have some time to do that! If you have received any awards or promo codes in Elte…
- Incoming: New Game World - 7 April 2021
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team! It’s been quite a while since the last piece of news from our project, hasn’t it? Well, today we’ve got something very exciting to show you as the result of months of research, development and playtesting (HUGE thanks to our alpha testers, by the way!), that we hope, will help us to create a much more focused, fun and creative experience for you to enjoy. Introducing the brand new game world! Cubes! This part can be recognized instantly. The world, previously consisting of rounded cubic voxels, has now become almost entirely cubified. We know, we loved the smooth realistic terrains too! But not only did the playtests show us that these new cubic surroundings looked way more in line with your own beautiful architectural creations, they also made the environments much more easily readable and even prettier to look at. Just look at these screensh…
- Happy New Year! - 31 December 2020
Happy New Year, festive adventurers! You know, Elteria Adventures went through a lot of changes in 2020. Ranging from purely cosmetic to mechanical, up to and including the game’s story, these changes were all made in order to make the game as fun and enjoyable as possible. And of course, the Elteria Adventures team plans to continue this tendency in 2021, in order to bring you even better experiences on the floating islands of Elteria. In fact, we’re already working on something huge in order to bring Elteria Adventures even closer to our vision, and hope to bring you the first look into it very, very soon. We’re extremely thankful to all of you for helping us turn our dreams into reality, and hope that you will continue to support us in the following year and onwards! Once again, Happy New Year to you, and be sure to have fun and happy Holidays!

Yet another massive rehash of item stats, drop, recipes and trading costs. Abilities updated. Updated and/or changed a lot of abilities. Consumables rebalanced. Unfamiliar and strange? Maybe. Bette…

- Elteria Adventures: Item Enchanting Guide - 28 October 2020
While maxing out your gear in Elteria Adventures is not necessary, it might give you a much needed edge in a fight, or push your damage just enough to one-shot a mob you’re currently farming. There are currently four mechanics that allow you to do just that. 1. ITEM RARITY (Workbench/Advanced Workbench). Whenever you craft a piece of equipment, you have a small chance of crafting one of an increased Item Rarity. Signified by a corresponding adjective and a colored border around its icon, such an item boasts higher stats than a regular version. Of course, the process of deliberately crafting a rare item might leave you with a lot of spares. These might be Dismantled on a Soul Altar to gain some extra Essentia, though you might also want to keep some spares due to the next step. 2. AWAKENED, TRUE AND ASCENDED (Workbench/Advanced Workbench). Crafting a piece of equipment is just the beginn…

- Patch 16.7.5 - 22 October 2020
Greetings, enthusiastic crafters! Today, we’re looking at some tweaks, changes and improvements to crafting and adjacent mechanics to make your arsenal-amassing adventures even smoother: UPGRADES: Who even reads instruction manuals? Removed the crafting recipes from all crafting requirements AND from the drops. Now you just need the resources to craft any single item in the game. The existing items were also rebalanced a bit. Underground rock? I Dig it! The Underground Stones now have a chance to drop while you’re tunneling through biomes with your Dig ability (just be sure to upgrade your Universal Tool). I can craft it, and I can UNcraft it. Added the missing items into Soul Altar dismantling tables. Reforging reforged. Also added the missing items into the Reforging tables, so you can upgrade all of your gear. Hey, who turned out the lights? Removed the ability to turn out the glowin…
- Patch 16.7 - 8 October 2020
Greetings from the Elteria Adventures team! Today’s update contains major gameplay, graphical and interface upgrades to make the game prettier, more fun and more convenient to play. Let’s see what exact features are added into the mix: GAMEPLAY UPGRADES: The soul of the blade. Added the Soul Fusion mechanics. Build (or ask a friend for an access to) an object called Soul Fusion Altar, and you’ll be able to use it to put up to three different souls that you have in your inventory into an item of equipment, giving it secondary passive abilities. This works similarly to Reforge (just without the randomness), and absolutely can be combined with that mechanic AND item Rarity in order to create equipment that is absolutely monstrous in its power. General Elterian studies. Added a new 0th chapter that teaches the player the basics of gameplay, as well as showcases the new and improved quest in…
