Do you have a sense these days that every game, no matter what, wants you to be surrounded by horses? A vague, creeping sensation of horse-related dread?Bitcraft has no intention of filling your world with dread, but itwill fill your world with horse. The latest patch adds the new Equous as a new mount, an all-rounder mount that can carry you through the early game that handles speed, storage, and off-road travel without being best in class at any of the above. That goes hand-in-hand – or perhaps hoof-in-hoof – with a general mount rebalance for what’s already in the game.
Players can also collect new Hexite Infused Trees for more experience and loot as part of the larger forestry overhaul, a mini-overhaul of the sailing profession, and a new mining quest to introduce players to quarries and prospecting rich veins. There’s also level up stats for all professions, which should ensure that leveling always provides some benefit. You can, in fact, peruse all of the patch notes from the back of your horse. Or Equous, if you’re nasty.
