Release 0.107 has reached both servers after testing on the Development server. Close and reopen the launcher to update to 0.106.0, choose your server, finish setup and press Sync, then join.
Magic works in a fight. Spells hit players and creatures, heals reach your friends, and a refused cast no longer jams the next one. Magicka drops by what a spell costs and refills slowly, more slowly in combat, and held spells such as Flames, Frostbite, Sparks and Healing keep flowing while you hold them. Spells granted by staff now cast properly. Others now see your magic from start to finish: the spell in your hands, the charge, the cast, the bolt in flight and its impact. Frost spells drain stamina, shock spells drain magicka, and cloak spells burn hostile creatures around you.
Crafting is hands-on. Each step of a station's mini game has a clear target: chop where you click and drag ingredients into the pot, stir and season it, press and hang paper, roll and tie scrolls, stitch books. Finishing shows your work, stations have gentle sound cues, and the art is credited, openly licensed icons and historical engravings. Item previews use your own game's 3D models. Improved weapons and armour stay equipped, and the crafting menu no longer closes by itself. Novice blacksmiths can forge a pickaxe and a woodcutter's axe.
Mining has a new mini game: read the rock face, pick the strike point on the ore vein and swing on the beat. Woodcutting has a fresh look. Only Hunters can take from a dead animal: press E to skin it and the pelt and everything it carried go straight into your pack. The Simple Jobs prompt no longer overlaps emotes.
The world map now starts blank. Towns, holds and landmarks appear as you discover them and are saved between sessions, and the compass no longer gives places away. The sky no longer shows bright shapes near the horizon, and weather changes blend smoothly.
Dungeons spawn at their set points, waves arrive in order, groups with a wake distance wait until you come close, and an unfinished dungeon resets to rest. NPC damage is settled by the server for consistent fights.
Taverns gain Chess and Twenty-One boards with spectating. Wearing a mask, face covering or full helm lets you use /disguise, and you read as a Masked Person until you reveal yourself. Argonians breathe underwater. Faction chests, barrels and doors show as your faction's after you log back in, and placed faction storage appears in your faction's property list. Staff accounts can hold four characters. The launcher checks your setup faster and offers a Repair when Vortex or antivirus software has removed its files.
