Dungeon Overlord Receives Another Update Full of (Mostly) Stuff We Didn't Ask For


New Quests have been added to the game's Tutorial
Another maintenance update come and gone, and another somewhat disappointing set of release notes, at least in the sense that players didn't get what they've been asking for the most. Some improvement to the tutorial is useful, and "appropriate loot" may mean that leather drops in higher tier Elf Fortresses have been eliminated.  But the rest?  Well, it's not what many of us were hoping for.

  • Added new Quests to better prepare and train players on additional elements available in the Overworld 
    • Players who have leveled Warlocks or Thieves may find they are able to complete a Quest before they are eligible. Even if the Quest completes, you will not receive the reward again when you would be eligible to complete it. Instead, you will have the next leveling Quest available, and will be able to complete it, as expected, at the appropriate time.
  • Additional information about Advanced Player Combat has been added to in-game Tutorial text
  • New Store Item: Chalkboard Recipes (5 Recipes) – Crafting the various Chalkboard Recipes, and placing them in the Library, will provide additional stack sizes. These replace the Fireplaces, and provide a bonus for each tier. These recipes will only be available for purchase for a Limited Time, so get them while you can!
  • The Command Chamber mountain bonus will now only require stated Resources for Training
  • Daily Reward Chests will now appear more reliably. 
  • Citidels will now provide appropriate loot
  • Players will now correctly complete the Technology Quests by Researching the first Forgotten Lore in each tree
  • All panels and displays should show the same Resource accumulation rates

FYI, the new Chalkboard recipes are Ponder Slate (150% Research Stack Size, 9DM for 5 recipes), Inspection Chalkboard (250% Stack Size, 19DM for 5), and Investigative Blackboard (450% Stack Size, 29DM for 5).  As usual, the vanity recipes are overpriced (remember, the furniture can be pillaged).  But at least they do offer a benefit over the standard fireplaces, unlike a majority of the recipes.

What do you think of this update?  Leave a comment!
