Changes & Improvements

• Auction fees have been reduced by 25% for all items, and reduced by 90% for all deeds.

Crafting System Improvements
A completely new and improved user interface for crafting has been implemented, which dramatically streamlines the process of constructing items.
The new interface automatically scans the avatar inventory and storage for blueprints, resources and materials, allowing items to be constructed without the need for dragging input materials into the crafting machine. Other exciting features of this new interface include-

• A single comprehensive overview of all blueprints carried in inventory and storage, with the number of attempts possible displayed based on currently owned resources and materials.
• Ability to customize the exact number of attempts to be made on the currently selected blueprint.
• Ability to sell crafted items directly to the Trade Terminal, with optional thresholds for minimum/maximum condition.
• Ability to set custom thresholds for the use of residue to improve the final condition of crafted items.
• Integrated access to auction buy and sell orders to assist in quickly acquiring necessary input materials from the market.
• Detailed log of each crafting session.

Known Issues

• Content download requirements when entering the Genesis area are incorrect.
• When using the Auction Orders shortcut in the new crafting interface, the order window is hidden behind the main auction window.

MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.
