Embers Adrift is setting up its free trial with the latest update, which also adds a number of technical and quality of life improvements, and adds a new Ember Vein loop option, itemization system overhaul, and new behavioral stat indicators.
The free trial opens March 1st, and is unlimited in time, but limited in communication and gameplay. You can start one character and the trial gives access to Newhaven Valley, Central Veins 1, and Newhaven City.
The update also adds some new content, a new solo loop to do in the Meadowlands’ Noxious Bog Ember Vein..
A big change is the itemization overhaul. All rare drops and quest rewards get an alignment and have been categorized into several tiered categories. These are Basic -> Advanced -> Superior / Imbued -> Relic -> Mythic -> Legendary. These categories correlate to items relative power, not necessarily the rarity. Ultimately, these changes should make valuable items clearer and help prevent accidental sales of good loot or questions about whether a drop is worth it.
