HedgeTale - Dark Arts & Old Magic

HedgeTale 2.3.0: Arms of the Path

Witches and hunters now grow truly powerful as they progress.

Witch Staves

• Nine elements, each with its own design: Ember (fire), Tide (water), Stone (earth), Storm (lightning), Shadow (dark), Dawn (light), Thorn (nature), Hellfire (demonic) and Glamour (fae).
• Left click fires an elemental bolt.
• Right click casts the element's big spell:
  • Flame Nova
  • Tidal Ring
  • Quake
  • Chain Lightning
  • Shadow Grasp
  • Radiance
  • Thorn Bloom
  • Hellfire
  • Fae Step
• Spells use mana and get stronger as your witch rank rises.
• Area spells only hit enemies, so your livestock, villagers and familiar are safe.

Hunter's Arms

• The Witch-Iron Blade, the Silver Dagger and the new Hunter's Bow.
• Each is a little stronger than its vanilla equivalent, and about twice as deadly to witches, the undead, fae, vampires, werewolves and demons.
• They get deadlier as you rise in the Order.

Five tiers that match vanilla

• Iron, Thorium, Cobalt, Adamantite and Mithril.
• Upgrade with that metal's bars and a gem (Topaz, Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond).
• Ranking up on your path teaches you the next tier automatically.

Power up any weapon, vanilla ones too

• Silver Oil: hunters dip any weapon in the Alchemist's Crucible to make it Silvered.
• Rite of the Witch's Edge: witches hex any weapon to hit harder.
• Witch's Fury: a new brew that makes every hit land 25% harder for 90 seconds.
• One weapon can carry an imbuement, silvering and a hex all at once.
• Tools can now be imbued too.

Easier Fae imbuing

• Imbuement rites now work from Hedge Witch rank and cost less.
• The Crucible is taught earlier.
• Fae appear more often and drop their reagents far more reliably.

Fixes

• The playtest item chests now handle the much larger item list.
