Magiculture 2

Magiculture 2, Update 0.8.X

Skill Update + Save the Iron Update

After nearly two years, we're back! This update represents the sunsetting of Magiculture 2 - the questbook is nearly feature complete and many long-standing bugs have been squashed. There will be a gradual 0.8.X update cycle that will mainly feature balance changes and bugfixing as a result of playtests. After that, it's version 1.0 at long last baby!

This update was a joint effort between Invader and I (Luke) on the MC2 discord - HUGE thank you to them for much of the content you’ll see in this update.

 

The quest book was changed! Please update the quest book in your worlds by using the Quest Debug Wand, or the command "/bq_admin Default load"
