Vagrus: The Riven Realms Patch v1.0.20 Live

Lost Pilgrims Studio launched their turn-based post-apocalyptic fantasy RPG Vagrus: The Riven Realms out of early access several months back. And now, the game has received its first post-launch content update introducing new quests and NPC interactions, as well as a number of bug fixes and UI improvements.

Here are the patch notes:

Hey everyone,

we have a new patch for Vagrus, which is incidentally the first to add sizable new content – namely, the faction leader NPCs and interactions for the Loaders’ and Carpenters’ Guilds, something that has been lacking compared to other factions. Each of them can give you a new quest to further get into their good graces (and get a little something-something for yourself in the process, of course). Below are the detailed patch notes.

Important Note: Considering the extent of the improvements, there is little to no chance that we broke nothing in the process. Assume that we did not want to make anyone’s life harder. If you see something amiss, please flag it to us using the usual channels, like the inbuilt reporting tool (F1 button), forums, and our Discord server.
