Bottling sacrificial blood now yields 3 bottles, up from 1.
Sorcerer Thralls now provide a benefit to the efficiency of Sacrificial Altar recipes that process raw Sacrificial Blood: +25% result items per thrall tier. A T4 thrall doubles the outcome of the craft.
Sorcerous Alchemy, allowing the transmutation of materials into other materials.
Three new summoning rituals are available at the Chalk Circle, once the player has unlocked them via the Tome of Kurak (they are not unlocked at the same time):
Summon Traitor of Blood - Summon a non-aggressive demon who will trade resources in bulk for Blood. His time in this world is limited once summoned.
Summon It That Hunts - Summon an enigmatic bestial entity willing to provide exclusive hunting services… If you can figure out what it is that it wants.
Summon Avatar of Bokrug - A dangerous ritual that manifests an avatar of the potent god Bokrug. Be warned - it is powerful enough to break through the protections built into the Chalk Circle, and highly aggressive.
We’ve taught the Exiles how to dodge-roll. And then, very carefully, instructed them not to be annoying about it.
The “Thrall Trader” knowledge is purchasable at level 30 (requires Thrall Taker) for 5 points. This unlocks the construction of 2 new objects via the Construction Hammer: Thrall Selling Cage and Animal Selling Post. These objects allow for the sale of in-world human, golem, or animal followers for Gold Coins.
Quality Of Life Changes
Building with the construction hammer now uses resources carried by your follower. No more overencumbering yourself before building that extension onto your base!
Starting recipes at a crafting station will now automatically pull resources from your inventory. Less fiddling around with items, more making the thing you want.
Numerous improvements to sorcery, including but not limited to:
Faster casting with the Arcane Staff.
Unified and reduced casting requirements (no more carrying around 3 different tiers of pouches).
All tier 1 spells have their reagent cost removed.
Sorcerer thralls will provide benefits at the Sacrificial Stone (more efficient Sacrificial Blood harvesting).
Rebalanced and accelerated Tome of Kurak progression.
Significantly reduced penalty when using Transporter Stones. The corruption debuff after travelling has been shortened to 10 seconds and now applies a much smaller amount of corruption.

Bug Fixes
Fixed several building-related server crashes.
Improved purge spawning:
Fixed the purge “owned landclaim” detection so that it cannot spawn the Forward Operating Base on the edge of an unrelated player’s landclaim. This fixes the issue where players could trigger a purge within range of another player’s base and harass them.
Significantly increased the density of checked points when searching for a spot to place the Forward Operating Base, making it more likely to find a usable location by being more thorough in the search.
Fixed numerous DLC items’ dye functionality and rendering issues.
Known Issues
Elevators are not currently buildable via the Construction Hammer, but can still be crafted at their respective workbench and then placed from the hotbar.
hey funcom im dissapointet in their is so little bugfixes in this patch i was hoping for some major bugfix on this update becuse i dont think you guys gonna give more update out this year for whats their is left of it 2-3 weeks. i was hopeing for some critical bugs getting fixed.
The Thrall Selling Cage and the Animal Selling Post look like an awesome addition, genuinely something the game needed. Hopefully, it’s a good sign of what’s coming next:
Bench thralls have always been the best loot you could pull from a raid. It’d be amazing if, at some point, we could capture them. Maybe killing a “leader” unlocks the ability to capture the others? Something with a bit more risk. Not only knocking them…
Being able to buy and sell followers might finally be the first step toward actual in-game trading. Maybe one day, taverns could evolve into real marketplaces where players exchange items
[Update: This seems to be mod-related. Some recipes from mods don’t work, either.] “Summon Traitor of Blood” and “Summon It That Hunts” don’t work for me. The recipes are displayed at the circle, but the “craft” button is greyed out, even if all the necessary materials are in the station, just as if some material was still missing. Maybe there’s an unlisted material required?
“Summon Avatar of Bokrug” does work. It destroys the summoning circle, but that might be intentional.
The NPC dodge rolling seems to work, too.
The transmutation recipes look a bit expensive, but they do work. Not a viable way to avoid farming rare materials, but may help out in a pinch if you’re only missing a single item or some resource is unavailable for whatever reason.
Game and mods [Update: With some exceptions apparently] seem okay. Had some stuttering after loading the world, but after that, all ran smoorthly.
I tested Traitor and It That Hunts myself, they spawned alright on my end. If you admin spawned the required items through console commands, you do have to leave and re-open the inventory for the station to detect the resources in your inventory.
you mean like the critical bug of zamorian barkeepter that not take any damage and are immortal and used to grief others players on pvp server and stay forever near cage on map of all servers………
the worst its that this one is probably very easy to fix
So I built the thrall Trading Post and the animal Trading Post and I cannot figure out how to use them. When I move something into the window it tells me that item cannot be moved. So how do you put the thrall in the trading station?
Put the thrall into the world, then move them into the ghost position inside the cage, like you would when you put an archer on an archer post. You can then interact with the board/chest and set the sale price at the top
If it was an inventory drop then we wouldn’t be able to sell any thralls or pets already placed, this way we at least can sell those that already are placed and those we have stored, but yeah I get it that they could have made them not count once inside that cage, but depending on how they do it, players will find ways to exploit it, it’s human nature
Is it truly a bug?
I mean lots of people could have problems getting them back alive to their base if they were killable since they have no stats and not much health, I could totally see a possible fix by setting cage thralls on a cool down timer like fx 30 minutes where they only are able to follow you in that time
