Ahoy, me hearty!

We are overjoyed to announce the third Feature Update for Scavenged Shores! 🌞🍉

Before diving into the specifics of this update I would like to personally apologize for the delay between this update and the last. Since the last update a year ago the team and I have spent a lot of time planning the direction we want to take Scavenged Shores in and prototyping many new features we are excited to share soon! We hope you understand and are as excited for the future of Scavenged Shores as much as we are! Now…. let's take a closer look at what's included in this update. :tada:

Caloki

Prepare to make port! The new island of Caloki has been discovered after a long voyage by our staff team in the warm waters of Scavenged Shores. Unlocked at level 10 Caloki is a small serene tropical island, brimming with beauty and adventure. Caloki is well known as a refuge for cursed pirates due to its rare golden coconuts, which have a unique ability to lift curses. Caloki also introduces 6 new custom creatures for you to fight across 3 new grind spots. :palmtree:

Ranks

Ranks are finally here! We believe you deserve to stand out, and what better way than to purchase one of 4 unique ranks available in the store under the “Ranks” tab. Each rank has unique cosmetics unavailable anywhere else such as icons, tags, hats, particles, pets and glow colours. We also plan on adding limited time ranks for events in the future so make sure to keep an eye out for them. :kraken::turtle:

Armour Rework

The long awaited Armour Rework is finally here! Each Armour piece now has an elemental type, if the chest plate and boots are the same type you will reduce or double your damage taken from certain types.

In addition, we have added a variety of new stats to diversify armour pieces. These currently include:

Hearts (Increase the amount of health you have)

Armor (Increases the amount of armour you have which decreases the overall damage you can take)

Speed (Increases/decreases your movement speed)

Regen (Increases the amount of health you regen when you heal)

Dodge (The percentage chance you have to completely dodge an attack)

Watch out! Some stats can be negative as well as positive…. :shield:

Resource Deposits

Introducing resource deposits! Found all around the world, these can be broken to obtain blocks which can then be used to build on your personal island. Each deposit has a minimum player level required to break its blocks, and there is a respawn time on the resource being available again. :pickaxe:

Fishing Traps

Fishing Traps are our newest addition to the Fishing Profession. Purchasable from Tool Merchants These contraptions allow for passive fishing and last one minute. Players can have a maximum of 5 traps active at any given time. Keep a close eye on them as other players can swipe your loot. :fishingrod::tropicalfish:

Mob Drops

As a team, we have decided to rework the drops obtainable from killing creatures. We felt that souls were not interesting enough and because of this, we have decided to remove the Soul Collector and introduce a variety of new items which drop from creatures when killed. These items currently can only be sold to the item hoarder but we plan for them to be used in crafting when we add the system in the future! :stars:

New Online Map

We are excited to announce the release of the new live map which has received a massive overhaul. This makes it easier for you to find points of interest and other players as well as being much easier on the eyes. The map can be accessed by right-clicking one of the map boards located in-game or by searching www.scavengedshores.com/map/ :map:
