| Patch #14 Cauldron item updates, balance changes | 2026-06-11 | Hello everyone!This patch introduces some new items and reworks many cauldron items that we thought were lackluster. In doing this we've removed the hardboiled egg and it's combinations, we thought it was a bit convoluted to get and the combinations except for Crème Brûlée were not that good or interesting. We still have some room left in the compendium to add a few items per bundle, if you have some interesting ideas for an item you'd like to see, let us know!We're still working towards the Darkland beta but we're are not there just yet.
