  • Adjusted Fusion Recipe for Special Zealot Shard from Zealot + Elusive Family -> Obtainable via Generic Fusion
  • Adjusted all Torrhus Sea Creatures to be Charm only
    • Designer Note: Charm-only shards are an important part of the Hunting ecosystem as they are the cornerstone through which the Charm Chance stat, Salts, and Elusive shard systems operate. We specifically chose to make Sea Creatures charm-only two reasons: to avoid disrupting the fishing gameplay loop AND because you need to kill them more times than any other mobs on the island (they have more drops that you need and their higher bestiaries are reflective of this)

  • Fixed an issue causing Grizzly Bears to despawn earlier than intended
  • Fixed an issue causing the Fusion Machine to prioritize lower-tier Shards
