All June 5 Enshrouded patch notes: Main takeaways from Patch 0.7.2.0

Keen Games dropped a major Enshrouded patch called Melodies of the Mire on June 5, containing a new extension of the Revelwood region, dual-wielded Daggers as a weapon, combat balance changes, equipment changes, and player progression XP adjustments. Here are the full 0.7.2.0 Enshrouded patch notes, according to Keen Games.

What’s important about the June 5 Enshrouded Patch 0.7.2.0 notes?

Patch 0.7.2.0 of Enshrouded is huge for those of us who are still interested in the survival action RPG. Player-based quest progression, which I am most excited about, has been updated to allow players to “complete Embervale quests individually on multiplayer,” according to Keen Games. Some players may have to complete quests before the Hollow Halls update, though, due to tracking of quest progression. Completing quests in Enshrouded will now reward players with XP, which I’m also excited about. Keen Games did increase the XP for leveling up to compensate for the Patch 0.7.2.0 change.

Musical Instruments have been added to Enshrouded as a craftable and playable item. I plan on annoying friends with my musical skills. But the new instruments are more than a cosmetic as “playing music adds to the rested buff duration, and can even be used to replenish it while exploring the world of Embervale,” according to Keen Games.

A new area to the north of Revelwood called Blackmire has been added to Enshoruded.

Sneak up on enemies’ assassin style with the new dual-wielded Daggers in Enshrouded. Daggers as a weapon have been a highly requested item by the community. With the addition of dual-wielded Daggers, multiple balance changes were applied to combat gameplay.

Bows will now lose durability, as was always intended.

Harvesting and planting actions within Farming have been sped up. Saffron was removed as an ingredient from the Nomad Highlands crafting tier. And Yucca Palm seedlings will now require a Yucca fruit to craft.

All big Ranger class Enshrouded Patch 0.7.2.0 balance changes

The Ranger class now has melee combat options through Daggers. “In Enshrouded, the role of the dagger is complementary to the ranged gameplay and they are not meant as a 1:1 alternative in power to the sword in the hands of a skilled warrior,” according to Keen Games.

• You can find Daggers as loot throughout the world of Enshrouded.
• Damage of Daggers scale with Dexterity.
• A kick attack with Daggers will fill an enemy stun bar by attacking quickly after a successful parry.
• Dagger master (new skill): Increases damage dealt with Daggers by 15 percent.

• Multi Shot Trigger (new skill): All Arrows, including special arrows, can trigger Multi Shot. The skill consumes the additional Arrows from the Backpack.
• Multi Shot Spread (new skill): Adds a 25 percent chance to spawn an additional projectile to the “flurry of arrows” from the Multi Shot skill.
• Stun Arrow Rework: Instead of stunning an enemy directly, the stun arrow now increases the stun bar similar to a parry or attacking into a blocking enemy.
