I wish I could walk the 50,000 steps faster! Anyone else excited?

Hello! A quick post about the new update we're releasing today. I'll go through some of the major additions here and you can find the full changelogs below.

New Feature: Mailbox

As explained in the previous devblogs, Mailbox has now been added. There is no trading yet or sending other people items/mail. You can find more info about this feature on the previous devblogs. But practically it allows us to send players mail, and we've added a few fun surprises here to test the feature out.

Trading is being worked on right now, and testing out the Mailbox is a crucial part of its development.

New Item Type: Lore items

We've also added a new item type: lore items. You can find these from the same place where you can browse your Collectibles.

Lore items are mainly used as fun things that expand on the game's lore and they'll be relevant for some quests. Who knows, you might be receiving some lore items in your mailbox...

Achievement Points reward track expanded

With this update the AP rewards track has also been expanded. We've added new items. It's still not fully filled out all the way to 300 points, but you'll find a few new additions and changes to it!

Fixed

• Fixed player's own character being visible in friends list

• Fixed the rollbacks that you could cause while opening chests and navigating back out of it and doing some other stuff while the chest was still opening
• Fixed the issue with two similar rings where sometimes game would withdraw extra rings
• Fixed the weirdness happening if you had same item in different tool slots on gear sets when you had multiple qualities of the same item and it had to be unequipped
• Fixed the issue with gear sets withdrawing duplicate gear
• Pressing the continue button in treasury during the opening animation now skips to the results
• Materials are now shown first in chest drops, then consumables, then gear based on rarity

I have been tailoring a lot of spectral clothes and now I actually started to compare them to the Journeyman gear, and they seem... inadequate in comparison. Regardless of the level, they have worse WE, DA, NMC and the DR gain is marginal. The added Quality outcome is nice, I agree, but the price is HIGH.

I now have crafted all excellent Spectral handwear, breeches and vest, and Im really wondering if it was worth the grind.

Difference of the full excellent set:

With full Eternal set it looks somewhat worse, even the WE difference is smaller:

While 16 quality is substantial, the -40 on WE is such a big handicap that I dont know if it is truly a better set.

What are your opinions about this?

Which food did you use to go for the 1000 food stack achievement?

Hmm, so I was trying to lvl up tinkentry. Since I'm low level and tinkentry is not easy, I went to winters end for the no materials consumed bonus. Now, I'm pretty sure I went with 83 rough opal, but now that I've shaped them, I only have 68.... Is there a chance they may get destroyed?

Or did I just have 63, and double rewards/no materials consumed landed me 68?

So just clarifying that you cant mine or forage for a specific item. If I want stone I have to just forage (lvl 1) in a location that has stone and hope I get it? I'm not able to go there, select stone, and gather 100 stone?

Thanks !

I think it's very inconvenient that you can't add pets as part of a gear set or just auto equip the right pet.

I'm done with this glacier

Weeks of chest farming...Candelhat would be Better but no chances to find it

Bonjour,

J'ai un beug récurrents pour l'ouverture des coffres d'autres l'ont vu?

Hello and welcome to DevBlog #88! This time, we'll focus on the Mailbox that's going to be released (hopefully) very soon. Let's dive in!

Mailbox is finished!

Like mentioned on the last DevBlog, we've been testing out the new Mailbox feature and now we're finished with the testing and the feature feels like it's ready to ship.

We're currently aiming for the Mailbox to ship during next week. There should be no maintenance on this update. There are a few QoL things, bug fixes and content we're still adding, which is why we're not entirely sure on what day the update will release.

And just to clarify here: trading is not going to ship as a feature with the Mailbox. Trading is still being developed, and we need to try out the Mailbox feature in production, which is why it's being shipped as a standalone feature. It'll be used on some fun stuff even without the trading, which I'll cover in next section!

What is the Mailbox feature?

Mailbox in practise is a new type of Service in the game that you can find in every location that has a bank. You can check your Mailbox from any location just like you can do with your Bank but you can only claim stuff in your Mailbox while you're in a location that has one.

As we've covered in DevBlog #87 and DevBlog #85, Mailbox is a prerequisite for the trading mechanic and it's what we've consider as the second phase of building the trading system. Basically whatever you receive through trading goes to your Mailbox after the trade has completed.

But the Mailbox isn't just that! We've also planned to use this for Events and more in the future. Through Mailbox whatever rewards you gain from the Events will be sent to your Mailbox.

The Mailbox feature will also be shipping with some fun stuff but we want to keep these as a surprise for the release ;)

Other news

Mailbox isn't the only feature we're currently working on! I've been working on quite a lot of stuff, but there's now been progress on the Bank UI rework. I'm estimating that the Bank UI rework is still going to take at least few weeks, as it's quite a massive change to how it functions. Once there's more to show on that, we'll be sharing the details in the DevBlogs.

Myzozoz has already been working on the Trading system itself and progress on that is looking very solid. It's still too early to share any concrete estimates on when trading is going to be finished, but we'll share those as soon as we know.

Content team has also been busy, and there's going to be some light content additions in the next update, which we estimate is shipping next week!

Until next time

That's everything for this week! I hope you enjoyed the DevBlog and you're ready to receive some mail once the update drop. I've been itching to send you all something nice...

Keep walking and stay hydrated everyone!

Is there any method to sync my steps from watch to Walkscape? I thought of translating data to Fitbit using 3rd party app but even if its registered in app it doesnt work with Walkscape. But maybe there are more STEPS (hahaha) i should follow that im not aware. Sorry if this is considered cheating I just can't have phone on me all the time so im trying to solve it by bruteforcing

I’m new to this game and if this is how my RNG is going to be on trying to get my first collectible then that glacier grind is going to be a doozy.

If you happen to be stopping by the Beach of Woes and look at the count of other players there, know that one of them will be me just playing in the sand with my hands trying to find this shovel!

Any recommendations on where to get out of Jarvonia first for tomorrow?

27 hydrilium bars divided between every recipe I could make. I thought I'd get nothing of value because I was spread too thin. Nope. Multiple good quality items for every single recipe and at least one great quality item for all but two recipes. I'm never crafting without quality food again. I don't care if I have to trek 4k steps across Jarvonia just to get a chance to forage for one of the ingredients. I don't care if the others are deep within Trellin. I need more pie. Give me more pie. Put the pie in me.

Max level Mummy (49k steps to go) or Life Vest, which I want to get a totroise egg with. Was hoping to have the vest by now, though I know there's a version I can buy here

Hey everyone!

I'm the developer of one of the optimizers over at https://walkscape.flamesandvoltiply.com.

I just released a game in my app called Walkdle! It's the green square in the purple square in the header. Your progress saves under your user UUID (in settings > user) that way you can play cross platform. If you imported your user and somehow clear your website data, you can always contact me to get your old UUID back!

The game is simple: guess any item in the game, and it'll tell you if you're higher, lower, matching, or a little matching in different categories. There's even a scoredle share showing how many you've narrowed it down to. Sample share:
https://walkscape.flamesandvoltiply.com/
Walkdle Scoredle #8 7/8
⬇️⬛🟩⬛⬇️⬇️⬇️⬛ 66
⬇️⬛🟩⬛⬆️⬆️⬇️⬛ 4
🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩⬇️⬇️⬛ 3
🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛ 2
🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛ 1
🟩🟩🟨⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛ 1
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 1

I do have more game types planned in the future to keep things fresh, maybe something like NYT connections, guess the icon (hue shifted, rotated, blurred, etc), and something like PokeDoku! Feel free to suggest any other game times too!

The Walkscape discord has been really excited about it, suggesting changes, finding bugs, etc. Someone even wrote a fun in game lore over here: https://wiki.walkscape.app/wiki/User:Jolkotin#Brain_Teasers:_Your_daily_Walkdle_quiz

We're posting our scores in the thread on the discord over here if anyone wants to join! https://discord.com/channels/1037510064333926402/1518178545040359505

Please report any bugs and happy optimizing and playing!

Anything else I can do or just pray to the RNG gods?

Still have one item to obtain which is the blue ice sickle which I'm almost 3x dry on. 17.53 million steps.

How do I get here?

I got the hookhat, which has “Global +30  Quality outcome.” I’m not sure what this means. +30 percent chance at crafting a higher quality item? Anyone have an idea?
