Magisterium: Fantasy Craft news & patch notes

Greetings, mighty FantasyCrafters! To celebrate the Holiday season, we are bringing you this Christmas update/event to add more festivity into your game and charge you up with the mood of the upcoming celebrations. We truly love and eagerly await this time of year and we hope many of you do too.

The world of Magisterium has been touched by winter's magic! Dive into new festive quests, discover unique holiday items to craft, and explore your home blanketed in snow for the very first time. This special winter event will warm your heart until the end of January 2026 - plenty of time to enjoy the season!

Christmas stuff:

A line of winter quests of The Winter Solstice Spirit awaits! Begin your journey by finding the alchemist druid Efelzaal, who has been searching for a capable adventurer to aid him in his mystical seasonal work.

Deck your halls with festive cheer! Our Christmas update brings a sleigh-full of new craftable items to adorn your home and fill your yard with holiday magic. Get ready to craft, decorate, and celebrate.

New Festive Crafting Items:

·       Sweet Treats: Christmas Cookies, Candy Cane, Mulled Wine

·       Winter Figures & Flora: Snowman, Fir Tree Seeds, Fir Tree, Christmas Tree

·       Glowing Decorations: Christmas Candle, Christmas Lights, Christmas Decorations (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)

·       Classic Ornaments: Christmas Wreath, Christmas Stocking (Green, Red, Blue)

·       Sparkling Finale: Fireworks

·       New kind of fuel: Merlinder Powder made from Merlinder crystals.

NOTICE FOR NEW ADVENTURERS: Successful progression in "The Winter Solstice Spirit" with Gloria is contingent upon completing her prerequisite quest, "Don't Jump in at the Deep End." This step is mandatory because the solstice ritual involves Merlinder Crystals and their usage is taught exclusively within that earlier task.

ABSOLUTE WARNING: Under no circumstances craft and activate 10 Christmas trees simultaneously. The developer is not responsible for any consequences.

This festive update also brings practical gifts for better organization and automation - perfect for setting up your workshop for the new year.

New Machines & Signs:

1)      Blueprint: Sulfur Miner – Place it on sulfur deposits in the Damned Place for a steady, automated supply.

2)      Blueprint: Quartz Miner – Automate your quartz gathering by deploying this machine on a deposit within the Ruins (near the Warg's habitat).

3)      Writable Signs – Organize your storage and territories with new standing and hanging signs in small, medium, and large sizes.

Blueprints of a Sulfur Miner and a Quartz Miner can be found in the Elefin’s Ruined Castle (just climb the winding stairs to learn the blueprints).

A few quality-of-life improvements:

1)      Skinning can now be canceled. This is useful if you are attacked from behind by a beast while skinning your prey. You can now cancel the skinning action by pressing E or ESC.

2)      Detailed trader information. For every trader in the village, we have added detailed descriptions for blueprints and items. Now, before purchasing a blueprint or item, you can see:

·       The required components.

·       Its characteristics (stats for armor, weapons, tools).

·       For consumables: their decay timer and what they restore (food, water, health, etc.).

·       This will help you plan which blueprints and workbenches you need for crafting.

3)      Increased hitbox for poisonous snakes to make it easier to hit them with arrows.

4)      Rusty short and long swords can now be sold to Maximilian.

5)      The simple clothes you begin the game with can now be sold to Gloria.

6)      Removed the glow effect from land plot signs.

7)      Added a "Take All" button. Press E to loot all items from a container at once.

8)      And to help newcomers navigate the village more easily during quests, we've improved the very first quest from Uncle Henry. We've added a new objective to buy a map from Maximilian on the market. This map will serve as a reliable guide, ensuring you never get lost and can always check where a particular villager lives when completing the quests.

Bugs fixed:

1) Localization Corrections: Addressed several text and translation issues.

2) Toggle Sprint Functionality: Fixed a bug affecting the toggle-to-run feature. Now you only need to press Shift once to enter sprint mode, then simply hold W to run — no need to hold both W and Shift. Make sure the "Toggle Sprint" option is unchecked in your settings for this to work correctly.

3) Fixed various other minor bugs.

We would like to wish you merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

May your Christmas be filled with love, joy and the warmth of family and friends.

Thank you for playing our game!

And thank you for your positive reviews! Your support truly inspires us to keep developing the game.

Greetings, mighty FantasyCrafters!

This small patch adds a few new options to the settings, making the game more convenient to control and fixes some bugs.

Bug fixes:

1)      Fixed a bug where cattle would not eat from feeders or drink from water troughs, causing them to die.

2)      Fixed a visual bug causing building parts to display incorrectly in the lobby.

3)      Fixed a bug enabling unintended PvP damage with bows between players.

4)      Implemented various other small fixes.

New settings:

1)      Toggle Sprint: Added a new "Toggle Sprint" option to the Game Settings. Just a single tap of your Left Shift key grants you enduring speed until you wish to walk again.

2)      Aiming Cancellation: Changed your mind mid-draw? Simply press the Right Mouse Button again while aiming to lower your bow without firing.

3)      New Keybinding: Added a separate setting for Dodge/Building Grid in the Input Settings. You can now bind it to a key of your choice.

Thank you for your reports and patience!

As for what's next, we're excited to share that we're currently working on a new type of forest dwellers, a quest related to them, and a new machine to harvest wood.

We can't wait to see how you use these new tools and changes. If you've picked up the Supporter's Pack: Decorations, we hope you have fun creating stunning interiors and exteriors—be sure to share your screenshots with the community!

Greetings, mighty FantasyCrafters!

The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived—Magisterium: Fantasy Craft is about to get even more EPIC with a massive new update! Buckle up, because we’re diving deep into magic, mayhem, and legendary loot.

Quest Alert: Estefalia’s Bangle

We’ve finished this quest and now you get two stunning new locations to explore. But that’s just the beginning…

A Taste of Magic (Before School’s in Session!)

The School of Magic isn’t ready yet (patience, young apprentice), but we’re sprinkling in some basic arcane goodness to keep your daily adventures spellbinding! Get ready for:

·       New plants (for brewing wicked mana potions)

·       Magic scrolls (because who needs torches when you can cast Lumos Revelio?)

·       Basic magic rings (because every hero needs a little bling)

·       New enemies (to test your combat skills)

·       A fearsome mini-boss (with legendary loot up for grabs!)

New Content Breakdown:

New locations

·       River in the canyon with a tiny cave

·       Waterfall Cave (home to creepy-crawly new foes)

·       Mysterious cave in the Big Forest (because every forest needs secrets)

   New enemies:

·       Cave Bugs (annoying but squishable)

·       Black Widow Spiders (nope, nope, nope)

·       Mini-boss: Forest Golem (smash him for legendary tools!)

New blueprints:

·       Blueprint of a large leather bag (you get +24 more slots and + 300 max weight - hoarders rejoice!)

·       Blueprint of a large cooling box (more space + dry ice/ice = fresh loot forever)

New Plants (Brew ‘Em Up!):

·       Zephyr’s Breath Algae (found near the Cave Waterfall)

·       Arcanecap Mushroom (lurking in the Magic Forest and some caves, check the mysterious cave in the Big Forest)

·       Silentium Flower (hidden in the Ruins)

As a fun experiment, we’re rolling out basic magic early! While the School of Magic is still under construction, we’ll periodically add scrolls and other mystical goodies to let you dabble in the arcane.

Magic (potions, magic scrolls, rings):

Mana Potions (we enabled Intelligence option in the Attributes for you to boost up your mana):

·       Morningdew Mana Potion – Adds 5 mana points. Made from Zypher’s Breath Algae.

·       Moonshroud Mana Potion – Adds 10 mana points. Made from Arcanecap Mushroom.

·       Wealdwell Mana Potion – Adds 15 mana points. Made from Silentium Flowers.

Magic Scrolls (visit Joshua and Efelzaal for fresh stock):

·       Lumos Revelio Scroll (bye-bye, torches and portable lamp!)

·       Healing Scroll (because bandages are so last season)

·       Fire Arrow Scroll (enemies hate this one trick)

·       Gatherer’s Eye Scroll (highlights the items on the ground beside you)

Magic Rings (craft ‘em at an anvil—Fred’s got the blueprints!):

·       Minor Mana Ring (adds overall mana +5)

·       Vitality Ring (adds overall health +5)

(Pro tip: Rings can break, so keep an Advanced Repair Tool Kit handy!)

New gear and mechanics:

·       Rusty Skeleton’s Helmet (+5 armor, looted from Skeletons)

·       Bleeding mechanic from strong enemies (lasts for 60 seconds) - stock up on bandages or Wipe your tears away potions to stop bleeding.

Quality of Life Upgrades:

1)      Weapons buffs: Refined Short Sword (+30 dmg), Iron Morning Star (+25 dmg)

2)      Ice melts slower, lamps burn oil slower (sustainability!)

3)      Simple vials, places and cups return after use (no more wasted tableware)

4)      Skeleton gear (Skeleton bows, Skeleton Rusty Swords and Rusty Skeleton Helmets) (Maximilian and Fred are buying)

5)      Blueprint of a Big Bottle Mold has been removed from Fred’s goods and added to a list of blueprints in the Damned Place

6)      The selling price of Watering cans at Adriano has been increased

7)      Now Fred buys rare and epic tools

8)      The swimming mechanic has been improved (hold Shift to dive/rise faster)

9)      Enemies’ damage has been revamped (now poisonous enemies don’t inject poison with every bite) – don’t forget to use Anaconda’s kiss antidote potion to neutralize poison.

10)   Decreased the quantity of mushrooms needed to craft Wipe your tears potion (now it takes 3 mushrooms to craft it instead of 4)

11)   Warg is back to the Ruins (did you miss him? …Did you?)

We’ve rebalanced Vitality and Endurance attributes:

·       Vitality now grants +5 HP per point.

·       Endurance now provides +5 Stamina per point.

In future updates, as we introduce new armor sets, rings, and weapons, these values may be adjusted downward to +2 per point to maintain game balance.

Bugs fixed:

·       Fixed boiled egg prices (no more egg scams!)

·       Fixed the bug when Steward could buy dishes, Fonzy can buy new dishes.

·       Recipe scrolls can no longer be sold (oops)

·       Lift button panel added in Engineer’s Settlement

We want to remind you again not to neglect the upgrading of your Attributes especially Strength, because some enemies are now deadlier than ever. So upgrade your Strength and gear up before tackling cursed zones!

Remember:

·       Skill points are both for Skills and for Attributes!

·       Gain XP by questing, crafting, farming and slaying

·       The grind never stops (but rewards get sweeter!)

You’ll never stop earning skill points, no matter your level. However, each new level will require more XP to progress.

Higher-level players can boost their mana by wearing mana rings. Also, don’t forget: the Bizarre Amulet grants additional mana too!

Now go forth, craft, conquer, and unleash the magic!

Your Magisterium Team

• We’ve expanded the territory where you can build your home and farm. The huge stone fence that once surrounded the area has been removed, and the ore deposits located there have also been cleared (you’ll soon discover why we made these changes).
• New locations, caves, and a dungeon have been added, where you’ll uncover new blueprints, resources, and—most importantly—the story of the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44010291/17e2121324dedccaf856e4218d41e12d680670ac.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44010291/fa6d5ad3546f00fab0159a59a68f79ab269c06f7.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44010291/c3be0957d140761975ac31cbc8589c150984ab62.png
• Animal husbandry has been introduced! You’ll now be able to raise roosters, hens, chickens, cows, bulls, and calves. Hens will lay eggs, which you can either incubate or use in cooking. Cows can give birth to calves and produce milk. You’ll also have access to feeders, animal food, and pens to manage your livestock. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44010291/d4e59c112f51360abcc9f7dfed834f16f14c0bfa.gif
• New workbenches, miners, buildings, tools, weapons, and items have been added to the game. We’ve also made some subtle improvements to the interface.
• A brand-new and intriguing system has been implemented. Can you guess what it is? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44010291/f3678bcf51b4128e98a5befcc6702769a9f55ee0.gif
