Wild Waters — a major Piworld update 🌊

🌊 Wild Waters

Hello, survivors! This is the biggest Piworld update yet. The world has grown, and past its edge a very different sea is waiting.

🗺️ A new world

  • The starting world is now twice as big. You reach the next island by boat or raft.
  • Around it lies a ring of wild waters: huge islands in three new biomes.
  • 🟢 Green isles: viking land, with villages, raider camps and the jarl's hall.
  • 🟤 Brown isles: dwarf land, with mithril rocks and the Dwarf King.
  • 🟡 Yellow isles: elf land, where moonstone glows at night.
  • ☄️ Meteorites fall on the wild islands. You can mine meteorite ore where they land.

⛏️ New ores and the anvil

  • Two new tiers above diamond: mithril and meteor steel.
  • Five gems: moonstone, ice crystal, amber, bloodstone and obsidian. Each one has its own biome.
  • 🔨 The anvil forges plates, cuts gems and makes meteor steel. You also make hooks, armor and weapons on it. You pick a recipe in its own window, and each ingredient has its own slot.
  • Runes now really work: stun, freeze, poison, lifesteal, parry, armor wear and pull.

⚔️ New weapons

  • 🏹 Crossbow with three kinds of bolts: copper, ice (slows) and obsidian (wears armor faster). Hold the left mouse button until the bolt shows on the crossbow, then let go.
  • 🪃 Boomerang: it flies out and comes back to your hand.
  • 🕸️ Net: it holds a mob or a player in place.
  • 🔱 Harpoon: it hits the target and pulls it to you.
  • 💣 Sticky bomb: it sticks, then blows up 2 seconds later.
  • 🔨 Dwarven hammers: slow, heavy swings that stun and knock back several foes at once.
  • 🗡️ Twin daggers: fast hits that make the target bleed and crit often.

🪝 Grappling hook

Six tiers, from rope to meteor. Grab trees and rocks with the right mouse button. The top hooks can even grab creatures.

👑 The boss chain

Slime King → Pharaoh → Snow Giant → Jarl → Dwarf King → UFO. Each boss drops what you need to summon the next one. You find all of them in the journal, on the Bosses tab.

📖 Journal and events

  • A path of goals for new players, daily tasks, day streaks and collections.
  • Wild events: viking raid, starfall, dwarf vein and shore treasure.
  • 🍾 Notes in bottles lead to treasure. Dig it up with a shovel.
  • 🗼 At night a lighthouse reveals the map around it for you.
  • 📕 A recipe book (key C). You can track the recipe you need on the screen.

💀 Death and the mark

When you die, your whole bag stays on the spot. A mark on the screen, the minimap and the map shows you where to go. The bag stays for 60 minutes.

⚖️ Balance and more

  • The spawn camp is now a safe zone, and you cannot build inside it.
  • Fewer hostile mobs gather around a player, and even fewer around new players.
  • 🔥 Fire heals 4 times more, and your own campfire keeps mobs away.
  • 🌙 Kills at night give +50% XP.
  • 🎵 New music for every biome and hundreds of new sounds.

📚 Every new item, recipe and boss is on the wiki: ahaha.studio/piworld/wiki

See you in the wild waters! 🌊⚓
