Crafting Changes

• Fragment requirements for Recipes are now standardized:
  • Common: 1 Fragment
  • Uncommon: 2 Fragments
  • Rare: 3 Fragments
• All Recipes have been rebalanced based on the amount of Fragments required (rarer Recipes now require fewer additional materials to craft).
• Common and Uncommon Recipes no longer require Joinery to forge. Joinery is now only needed when Reforging for these Recipes. Note: NEW Joineries will be introduced in a future update.

Sparrow/Faction Tale Changes

• Sparrow's Tales will now be abandoned if Envoy has left the area and will reappear at a future location.
• Accepting one Sparrow's Tale no longer removes the others. Unaccepted Tales will now be hidden and reappear after you complete or abandon the accepted Tale.
• Single-task Tales no longer contain dungeons.
• Ode dogs have been replaced by corrupted slugs in some Tale tasks.
• Adjusted some Tale tasks to improve completion timing, variety, and consistency.
